Overwatch

A Thriller

De: Matthew Betley

Narrado por: George Newbern

“A former Marine himself, Betley proves himself an able heir to the throne held by the likes of Brad Thor and the late, great Vince Flynn” (The Providence Journal) with this white-knuckled political thriller.

When Logan West impulsively answers a dead man’s ringing phone, he triggers a global race against the clock to track down an unknown organization searching for an Iraqi artifact that is central to a planned attack in the Middle East—one that will draw the United States into a major conflict with Iran.

Logan, a former Marine officer, is quickly contracted as a consultant to assist the FBI as part of a special task force bent on stopping the shadowy operatives, whatever the cost. The battles are nonstop, from the plains of the Midwest to mansions in northern Mexico, to the war-torn Al-Anbar province, pitting an international team against trained mercenaries employed by the world’s largest private security contractor...whose owner has a personal vendetta against the US government. Meanwhile, Logan is battling his own demons, especially the trauma of the ambush that his Force Recon unit suffered at an insurgent torture compound in Fallujah in 2004, which threatens to destroy everything he holds dear.

With high-stakes and fully-realized characters, Overwatch is a thriller unlike any you’ve read before: deftly plotted, up-to-the-minute, and impossible to put down.

Decent

Good, but drifts in some places. story was a little unreal, but it is fiction, overall good.

I love it! Once I got beyond opening story hole...

Great pace/characters. Why send 4guys for wife & only 1 for main character? Major hole

A very good read

This was a very good thriller book written, and performed very well. I would recommend it to anyone that likes the special forces and clandestine type books.

Good story, not such a good reader.

The story was very good, but George Newberg was not the best choice for the reader of a thriller. He would probably be good for a comedy or less action oriented book.

Entertaining

Nice easy listen. Entertaining strory with lots of action. I will look to listen to more of Berry's books.
