Publisher's summary

In a world violated by terror, the old lines have blurred. Meet the next generation of covert ops.

John Dempsey's life - as an elite Tier One Navy SEAL named Jack Kemper - is over. A devastating terrorist action catapults him from a world of moral certainty and decisive orders into the shadowy realm of espionage, where ambiguity is the only rule. His new mission: hunt down those responsible for the greatest tragedy in the history of the US Special Ops and bring them to justice.

But how does a man torn between duty and revenge walk the line and preserve his soul?

As Dempsey struggles with the games of spies, the case propels him across the globe in a desperate effort to prevent a new, horrifying attack on American soil.

Once, John Dempsey followed orders blindly. Now he sees behind the curtain, and the security of the civilized world rests on one question: Can a Tier One Navy SEAL adapt and become the world's most lethal spy?

Waiting for the sequel

Excellent covert ops story. Characters and dialogue believable-- on par with Brad Thor or Vince Flynn (Kyle Mills) style story.

Great book and looking forward to the rest of the series

This is the first in the series and I really enjoyed the story, the performance of the narrator and the great characters.
The story is action filled and the pace frenetic.
I’m looking forward to the rest of the series.
A great read!

Pretty good

I will read another by these two authors, so that says something. I wasn't on the edge of my seat but I was happy to listen to the story. (not a happy story, but good listening).

Fantastic book. Very disappointed though

There is a character named “Richard Wang” and not even once in the entire book did anyone make the obvious joke...so disappointing.

Great story and Ray does an awesome job.

great story and fun listen

Great story line that is still relevant in our time. Very Tom Clancy ish. Props to the narrator for keeping the different character voices recognizable.

5 out of 5 adjusted for genre

I liked it more than I expected to! Very enjoyable story. These books almost always go off the rails into way over the top adolescent level tacti-fantasy but this book kept its cool. I could do without the over use (imo) of the term “Tier One”. It’s been so overused recently that it has become somewhat cartoonish and absurd to my ear.

That’s fricken it, though. For the genre, this book delivers a lot of fun, interest in characters and story and little twists and turns.

Highly recommended to other fans of TIER ONE TEAMS - lmao, sorry couldn’t help myself

Ray Porter is, by far, the best narrator.

The book is great. The story is gripping. The authors clearly know what they are talking about.

The narrator, Ray Porter, is the best I've heard so far. And I've listened to quite a few audiobooks. I bought the second e-book in the series along with it's audiobook. I am literally putting money where my mouth is.
