Publisher's summary

Tucked away in a remote corner of North Carolina's Fort Bragg, behind rows of razor wire and heavily armed guards, lies the headquarters of the nation's most elite counter-terrorism unit: the United States Army's 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment Delta. Here, a brilliant new approach to combating terrorism has just been born. Its codename: The Athena Project.

The novels will follow an elite team of female warriors from their recruitment as top-level athletes, through their training, to their deployment on some of the most exciting and dangerous international assignments the fiction world has ever seen.

Brad Thor's listeners will be electrified as he employs his vast knowledge of covert operations and military intrigue to bring to life his most heart-pounding, globe-trotting thrillers yet.

Charles angels

Any additional comments?

John Harvath is to the Bourne Project movies as The Athena Project is to the Charles Angels movies... hope you get the point.

out of order

When I google the sequence of the books I got it wrong and ended up getting this out of order so I was not introduced to the charters. Overall it wasn't horrible, just not what I expected, Scot Harvath, instead it was some female operators, which is cool and a good shift.

The depth of the characters wasn't great so when the first / last names were used interchangeably it lead me to some confusion about who was who but in the end it didn't matter too much as they were not that noteworthy.

I do chew through a lot of books on my commute so putting a week on this wasn't a bad thing.

Needs two narrators

I like the story but it needs more substance, it also needs a male narrator in addition to the female narrator who did a great job , but it was weird to hear her voice for Scot Harvarth , ….

An action packed side story!

While Scot Harvath made minor appearances in this book, the Athena girls stand strongly on their own! Wonderful read, full of action.

Lacks strong ending

Interesting read. It would make sense to have a follow on book that engaged Harvard more.

The Athena Project

I have listened to over 400 audiobooks, most of them thrillers. This is a great start to a new series (hopefully). As with most, the narrater makes the book and Marvel is great. I look forward to book #2 of The Athena Project.
