Black Flag

De: David Ricciardi

Narrado por: Jonathan Davis

CIA officer Jake Keller faces stakes that are very high and very personal in the latest electrifying thriller from the author of Rogue Strike.

After years of relative calm, piracy has returned to the high sea.

But the days of AK-47s and outboard engines are over. The new pirates hit like a SEAL team. Highly trained, and using cutting edge technology, they make sure their victims are never heard from again.

Ships and crews are vanishing at a staggering rate.

As the threat to international shipping grows, U.S. authorities become determined to find the source of this new danger.

Jake Keller has a plan—to lure the pirate mastermind out of hiding by infiltrating his organization—but it’s a dangerous gambit, made more so by Jake's personal involvement with the beautiful heiress to a Greek shipping fortune and an ulterior agenda coming out of CIA headquarters.

As the threats close in from all sides, Jake finds himself faced with a familiar choice: back off, or go on the offensive.

His fate, and the fate of a nation, hang on his decision.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Ricciardi’s exciting third Jake Keller thriller….build[s] to a final, head-snapping twist. Ricciardi has hit his stride with this outing.”—Publishers Weekly

“Once again David Ricciardi will have you turning pages as fast as you can in this imaginative, well-plotted, highly-plausible riveting tale. And then with the ending he’ll hit you with a surprise you never saw coming.”—The Washington Times

“Fast, relentless, and superbly plotted, Black Flag is Ricciardi at his best, and the sky is the limit for this series moving forward. Fans of Tom Clancy and Mark Greaney will especially want to give this one a go.”—The Real Book Spy

“Fans of the first two Keller novels will certainly want to read this one, and action-adventure readers who haven’t yet met Jake should seize this opportunity.”—Booklist

Excellent

Excellent work. Really enjoyed it. Narration, characters, story, action, details (especially technology). It had it all.

Somalia: not the ideal vacation destination!

BLACK FLAG is the third novel in David Ricciardi's Jake Keller espionage thriller series and the author's third novel.. It is set in the lawless badlands of Somalia. Black flag is a fast moving novel with intense suspense. David Ricciardi deserves lots more attention from readers/listeners. Jonathan Davis, one of the best, narrates the Jake Keller series. Be sure to read the outstanding review by Audible listener Shelley.

Just too much ugly violence

I have tried to read through this book, but gave up. Just too much gratuitous violence and ugliness.

Jake Keller - A One Man Army!!!!

Somalia. An oppressive country whose citizens live in deplorable conditions. Where parents will abandon their own children for their own self preservation. There is nothing to stand in the way of power hungry, greedy men. And they come. The new age of pirates come, bringing with them mercenaries. They hold the country in fear and buy off the government. These men board ships and kill everyone, stealing what the ships are carrying.
Enter Jake Keller. He and his new partner identify two major warlords. There are some bloody battles and gruesome hijackings. There’s interference from Jake’s boss in DC who can’t bring himself to believe what Jake has uncovered. Jake is actually told to work with one of the warlords. This wasn’t a good idea, with Jake’s analytical skills he’s able see things others are trying to keep hidden. There are a couple of unexpected surprises in the end.
This is a fast paced book with plenty of action and a well thought out plot. Definitely kept my interest and left me wanting more.

Jonathan Davis’s narration is just perfect.
This book has my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION.

GOOD TEAM OF WRITER & NARRATOR

Love the narrator, who always keeps a story well-paced and has a great voice to listen to. The plot itself was not unique but was certainly entertaining. This audiobook is well worth the time and credit spent.
