Resumen del Editor

The only thing more dangerous than fake news is fake truth in this exhilarating thriller by #1 New York Times bestselling author Lee Goldberg.

Author Ian Ludlow writes great adventures...but after helping Chinese movie star Wang Mei defect to the United States, he becomes the accidental hero of a real-life espionage thriller. Now he’s stuck with the actress - and suffering a nasty case of writer’s block - when he stumbles into a secret Russian plot using "fake news" to outrage Americans into believing a terrifying lie.

It’s up to Ian and Margo French, his researcher-turned-spy, to discover the connection between a barbaric drug lord in Mexico, a homicidal maniac in California, a rogue citizen army in Texas, a raging TV pundit in New York, and two dead tourists in Portugal...before the president of the United States makes a catastrophic mistake that could resurrect the Soviet Union.

The only weapon Ian has against the global conspiracy, and the assassins who are closing in on him, is his vivid imagination. If his story isn’t a killer thriller, he’s dead.

The narrator's voices were completely annoying!

maybe a good story, but i will never purchase another book by this narrator! I forced myself to keep listening, but life is too short. I have never given a negative review on Audible, but skip this one!

I love this series but Wingnuts beware!!!

Absolutely hilarious take on the surreal atmosphere of today's nexus of the political arena and the daily news cycle. But Conservatives should be wary, you'll be triggered.

Ian Ludlow vs the Russian spies

Ian Ludlow, author, nerdy James Bond fan, and accidental spy, is back. This time he has crossed paths with a Russian spy plot to plunge the US into a war and resurrect the Soviet Union. Can our inept hero save the day? You already know the answer to that, but getting there is the fun part.

I have seen some reviews saying that this book is "too liberal". I didn't feel that way... it's a reflection of our times, albeit through a bit of a fun house mirror.

In the end, it was a fun listen. I recommend it but suggest you read the previous books first to get a lot of the backstory references.

great book!

I love the Ian Ludlow books! Humor, action, adventure, and quirky characters! A great reaf!

Great follow up to the 1st and 2nd.

This should be a movie with like SETH Rogan or something. Very entertaining. Will make you laugh for sure

Final Notes... I hope the author either dials back on the painting of one party as nutty extreme or, at least, target both parties idiot extreme elements.

Plausible Fantasy: Great series

Rush and his I'll are exposed as aiding and abetting the enemies of our country. Inflammatory provocations only serve to divide and weaken us.

Funny and entertaining ... a good read

I'm reading the series and just laugh at how things fall into place for this goofball!

narrator sounds whiny

story was great, current, but the narrator was whiny in places. was there a different narrator before

I enjoyed the book.

I have really enjoyed all of these Ian Lulow stories. I was sad this one seemed so short.
