Publisher's summary

After the presidents' helicopter, Marine One, goes down in a brutal thunderstorm, the government blames the European manufacturer of the helicopter, accusing them of killing the president.

Senate investigations and Justice Department accusations multiply as Mike Nolan, a Marine Corps reserve helicopter pilot and trial attorney in civilian life, is hired to defend the company from the criminal investigations and a wrongful-death lawsuit brought by the most notorious lawyer in America on behalf of the First Lady.

Nolan knows that to win his case, he has to find out what really caused Marine One to crash and why the president threw caution aside to go to a meeting no one seems to know about.

A Real Page Turner

I could not stop listening to this one. It was really good, combining details of the legal scene with government contracts. The lead attorney is a very interesting character and I would like top see more with him.

Gripping story with unexpected twists

The "Hero" keeps his cards very close to his chest, which can be a bit annoying, as it certainly drags the story on, but overall, this is a well-narrated story with interesting twists. Helps if you are interested in helicopters!

Legal thriller personified

If you're a quack about legal thrillers, Marine One won't let you down. Huston builds to a crescendo finish that will satisfy your thirst for court room dramas.

Couldn't Stop Listening

Great story line. I only wish that the story would have ended on a more "final" note.

Fantastic Storyline!

Where does Marine One rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I have listen to about 20 audiobooks so far about 5 of which were fiction. I would rate this audiobook’s storyline and performance the 2nd best audiobook that I have listened to.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

I am a huge fan court room and political drama TV Shows (Boston Legal, The West Wing, The Practice, etc.) the fact that this audiobook had both was what kept me on the edge of my seat.

Have you listened to any of Joe Barrett’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have not listened to any of Joe Barrett’s other performances before but I would listen to him again.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I would have listened to this book in one sitting if I had the time.

Great Courtroom Dreams

Lots of plot twists and turns. Performance is outstanding with each character uniquely defined - highly recommended.
