Leave No Trace

A Mystery

De: A. J. Landau

Narrado por: Gregory Abbey

In a daring, brutal act of terrorism, an explosion rocks and topples the Statue of Liberty. Special Agent Michael Walker of the National Park Service is awakened by his boss with that news and sent to New York as the agent in charge. Not long after he lands, he learns two things: one, that Gina Delgado of the FBI has been placed in charge of the investigation as the lead of the Joint Terrorism Task Force, and two, that threats of a second terrorism attack are already being called in to the media. While barred from the meetings of the Joint Task Force due to his lack of security clearance, Walker finds a young boy among the survivors with a critical piece of information–a video linking the attackers to the assault.

As a domestic terrorist group, led by a shadowy figure known only as Jeremiah, begins to unleash their plan of attack against America’s cultural symbols, powerful forces within the government are misdirecting the investigation to further their own agenda. As Walker begins to uncover his own tragic connection to the terrorists, it becomes much more than an investigation to him. It becomes a personal mission to uncover and thwart the terrorists’ next attack, one so substantial that the nation’s own future is at stake.

“A tense, edge-of-your-seat nail-biter–Leave No Trace is all that and more. This is a no-holds-barred, white-knuckle thrill ride.”—Karen Dionne

Interesting take on thriller genre, performance left something to be desired.

The story was great. It's different from the typical thriller novel as far as the perspective and the protagonist not being some super spy/soldier. I'll probably continue with the series, though I don't think I'll be listening on Audible if the rest of the books use the same narrator. He often pauses at the strangest times, like it's the end of a sentence but it's not. It can be confusing and takes away from the flow of the story. I'm also from Southern Utah where a portion of the story takes place. Locals pronounce 'Zion' as Zi-uhn, rather than Zi-on. And the ute in 'Paiute' is pronounced yewt, not oot.

First time reader.

Excellent writing. Kept me intrigued and very interested in the National Parks The history was great.

Great book!

A great story and I learned so much about our National Parks! Can’t wait for #2 in the series!

Nothing in particular

It was not as advertised. In my view it was drudgery. Hard to get through

A fast paced thriller with heart

I really love the characters, Michael and Gina, who were the leads in the story. The author did a really good job of making you like both of them right off the bat and characterizing them without spending too much time and slowing down the story. The plot was well put together, and the scenes were so well paced that you just couldn’t stop reading. Can’t wait to read the next one!

National Parks Under Attack

When terrorist attacks begin taking place in National Parks, ISB and FBI agents team up to catch the culprits before it goes too far. But as they investigate further, there seem to be more than meets the eye - and the plot may be something that they are not able to stop.

This was a good read, and one that I could not put down. I highly recommend this book!

Fast moving story line

A bit cheesy at times I can honestly say I enjoyed this presentation and am looking forward to the next installment.
