Publisher's summary

A former Delta Force commander, Brad Taylor proves with this breathtaking debut thriller that Vince Flynn and Brad Thor have company.

A collection of top operatives, the Taskforce was commissioned by the highest levels of government, kept secret from the media and even Congress. The best of the Taskforce bunch, Pike Logan, knows the greatest threat to American security is one or two idealogues. Unfortunately for them, they’ve just crossed Pike’s path.

The narrator for Pike was atrocious

Narrators for this book detracted from the story. Hopefully they will be replaced for future books

very good book

I really enjoyed the characters in this book. Pike Logan is a very believable character created by the author.

Well it got better

If your like me and have been through all the other cia black ops books you came here looking for your next series…. Get about half way though it it gets good I hope the second book picks up and Runs with the fast tempo because this series needs to step up In order to run with Vince Flynn, Scott harvath, gray man, Jack ryan, and Brad Thors books

I will get the rest of the books to see where it goes

I’ll suffer through one more….

I liked the story, but the guy who voices “Pike Logan” drives me up the wall. I though their were new narrators for Book 2, but it looks like they narrate all the books. I’ll try one more, but the bad voice will likely override a good story.

Great!

I have no idea what some of those other people were listening to. This was a great story and truly kept my attention throughout the entire adventure.
I have a suggestion to those people who did not think this was a good story… get some headphones or earbuds. It must be a case of you loosing focus or missing the details.
Can’t wait for the next one.
Keep in mind; your comments might keep someone that enjoys these stories and knows what they are listening to from picking it. If you don’t have anything good or constructive to say, just rate the book! Most of us don’t really care about your opinion anyway.
Thanks,

Seems elementary

Very cliche. Narration too ….. Weird. I struggled to stay interested in the story. Not my favorite listen.

Absolutely… Terrible.. narration

This is personal preference obviously. I am not a big fan of narration trying to sound like multiple different characters. But sometimes it can work. This is without a doubt the worst narration of any audiobook I have listened to. And I’ve listen to a lot 50 to 60 titles. The main character pike, sounds like a whiny WWF wrestler. I I doubt you could search true special forces in the US and find a character who sounds like this. Just pick a voice and read the story. Kurt Hale, the task force, leader, sounds like a drunk in a bar. The whole thing is cringe. He. The only reason I had to keep going through it, is because I listen to a later book, from the same author with Pike in it, enjoyed the storyline, and decided to start from the start. If book number two has the same narrators, I won’t be buying it. Pikes character voice was so unbelievable for a special forces seasoned operator, it completely ruined the storyline for me. take a loan from other successful audiobook series -  reacher, Scott,l Harvath, American, assassin, Gabriel, Allon, etc., etc. One narrator, one voice. Again, just my personal opinion.

Worst narration of any book I’ve listened to.

Narrators did a terrible job representing the characters. Made each of the characters seem like a cartoon.

story was slow and reading was nails on chalkboard

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

not sure i would recommend this book to a friend... there are better reads/listens out there. the story was slow but finished okay- but the story was ruined with the readers. it got on my nerves and stayed there.

What didn’t you like about J. D. Jackson and Neil Kaplan ’s performance?

the mock womens voices were HORRIBLE and added a note of weakness to every word the author wrote. i will not listen to another word the author wrote from these readers. i knew george g. was a good reader or armand s. but did not realize that if they were horrible i would not want to read/listen to a story ever again...

Was One Rough Man worth the listening time?

concept of the story was there but the over all effect of the listen was ruined.

Any additional comments?

sorry to the author. i think you have tallent but by allowing these readers access to your material you are doing yourself a great injustice.

Amazing, can't wait for the next one!

Great new author! Brad Taylor will be as good as Thor, Child, Baldacci, Flynn & Eisler.
This was a great read. Give us more Pike, please.
