Resumen del Editor

Noah Wolf is one of the world's most deadly assassins, completely devoid of emotion and conscience. These factors, which others would consider to be handicaps, allow him to evaluate situations instantly, and from a purely logical standpoint. His decisions and actions are never tainted by emotion or feelings, which frees him from any risk of fear or guilt.

When Team Camelot is handed an unusual mission to rescue the abducted daughter of a foreign president, Noah and the rest go into it with confidence, and are quickly successful. Back home, they are ready to celebrate, but something doesn't feel right. The mission was too easy, and there are indicators that someone may have discovered who they are and tracked them back to Neverland. Noah's house is entered while the team is away, and he is unable to shake the feeling that the mission was nothing but a ruse to expose E & E.

It doesn't take long for him to decide that they must return to the field, their new mission to track down a Russian counterpart of their own Allison Peterson. Nicolaich Andropov has marked Noah for termination, so Noah decides to use himself as bait to draw the man into a trap. Unfortunately, Andropov is known as a ghost, a man whose appearance is unknown, able to move in absolute secrecy and remain several steps ahead of any who pursue him. When Noah fails to recognize this fact, Sarah becomes a hostage and pawn in a battle to the death. There's only one tiny chance to save her, but it will mean Noah must go unarmed and alone to meet his nemesis. The game is on, with his own life and Sarah's as the prize.

2nd time same as the 1st

I listened to the 1st book and thought, the big mission wrapped up with no feeling of reaching a climax. I decided to try the 2nd book. Same thing, it's like I'm reading a simple historical account of events. There's no build up, no tension, no peak of success...
And there's the narrator. I've decided that I can't stand his accents. His accents are all over the place. He also reads with as much passion and emphasis as the emotionless main character.
Speaking of that, if I had to hear about the "lack of emotion" that Noah has, I was going to delete the book without finishing it... the book actually began putting me to sleep while driving.

Depth of story is lacking.

The whole Noah Wolf premise is solid foundationally, but written more like a comic book.

Gets better and better

To be honest, I started this series originally due to Adam being the narrator. He's just so good at bringing characters to life, now that I've finished the second book the story line has me hook just as much. Definitely recommend this series whether you want to read the physical copy or listen to it.

Great read

Loved how the plot is not predictable. Good character development. Action packed. Will look for another.

Author has great potential with his concept

...but it's read like aimed at a 5th grader. M-16 is a gun, MI-6 is the British Intelligence Agency. there were so many faux pas with Intel terminology, over-explanation, and mutilation of pronunciation, that not only did it sound like it's aimed at a 5th grader, but written by one. The concept is great, but don't kill the story by explaining so many obvious actions. Of course the reader...needs to switch genres. To be fair to the author, it could be his performance that decimated this book. I'm going to keep with the series for now, book 3 getting a pass because it's already out. but after #4 or #5, I'll re-evaluate my decision. like I said, great concept...I love it. Wouldn't stick with it otherwise. Delivery...now that needs some work!

Ending

It seemed to leave you hanging..,I would have liked to seen him end it for good. If you know I mean. Don’t want to spoil it.

Another 5 star action thriller from David Archer!

Noah Wolf Book 2, Lone Wolf, is even better than Code Name: Camelot. This espionage thriller is as good as any of the genre. Noah Wolf, the protagonist, is a man without fear or emotion due to some events during his childhood, but the emotion part seems to be cracking at least as it relates to the female member of his Team Camelot. The team is charged with eliminating and eradicating enemies of the US. Archer does a great job of developing his characters. Adam Verner does a excellent job of narration.

This book has my HIGHEST POSSIBLE RECOMMENDATION. Also, consider listening to the Sam Prichard series by the same author. David Archer has established himself in the top tier of suspense and espionage thriller authors.

Good story idea lakes depth

The idea and story had many possibilities but they just do not seem to come together. also very little actual character development other the Noah.

Lone Wolf

Definitely a book about a guy written by a guy. I am one who likes most types of stories and found this entertaining as an audio book. I would never have read the whole book, since it was lacking in depth throughout the book. Since I work with my hands it was just right...allowed me to work, think when I needed to, and encourage me to stay at my bench a little longer to hear what happened next.

Awesome

Good action and teally good written. He did it again. No ro read nr three.
