Robert Ludlum's (TM) The Janus Reprisal

De: Jamie Freveletti

Narrado por: Jeff Woodman

Award-winning, rising star thriller author Jamie Freveletti brings a fresh and female voice to Covert-One with her new novel!

With U.S. intelligence agencies wracked by internal power struggles and paralyzed by bureaucracy, the president was forced to establish his own clandestine group--Covert-One. It is activated only as a last resort, when the threat is on a global scale and time is running out.

The Janus Reprisal
It begins with a terrorist attack. Covert-One operative Colonel Jon Smith is attending a conference in The Hague on infectious diseases, together with leading scientists and political figures from around the world. Without warning, the conference hotel is consumed in a bloodbath. Smith is caught in the crossfire and barely escapes . . . but not before discovering a picture of himself and two other targets in the pocket of one of the shooters.

But the hotel is not the only location under attack in The Hague. Bombs are going off at the train station, the airport, and the International Criminal Court, where Pakistani warlord Oman Dattar is being held while he's tried for crimes against humanity. In the resulting chaos, the prisoner escapes.

Dattar nurses a special hatred for the United States and its allies. With his freedom, and access to a mysterious new weapon, Dattar puts in motion a murderous, ambitious plot to exact his revenge and bring down the West once and for all--unless Covert-One can stop him.

NEVER DISSSAPOINTS

ANOTHER WORK OF ART. AWESOME IS MY DESCRIPTION . ENJOYED IT THE SECOND TIME AROUND TOO IN 24 HRS

Mr. Ludlum would be proud of this one.

Would you listen to Robert Ludlum's (TM) The Janus Reprisal again? Why?

Yes, I would listen to it again. The plot is complicated, and some of the names are confusing to me, so I probably missed parts of the story that I would catch the second time. It is also a great story, and well worth a second listen.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Robert Ludlum's (TM) The Janus Reprisal?

The last half hour is the most satisfying but I would give the ending away if I described it. There are a number of exciting scenes throughout the story. It is never slow or dull.

What about Jeff Woodman’s performance did you like?

He is great with voices and accents. You forget it is all the same person.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

The story is too involved for a tag line, and a movie would have to cut the book to shreds to fit the time requirements. That's the best part of a book - you don't have to give up the details.

Any additional comments?

I have now listened to every one of the Covert One books. They are all outstanding, with just one exception, but this may be the best of all of them. I will be looking for other books by this author.

Great Read

If you could sum up Robert Ludlum's (TM) The Janus Reprisal in three words, what would they be?

Exciting, realistic and great characters

What did you like best about this story?

The plot line was good and the characters interesting yet consistent with prior characters. You really care about John Smith and I wish Peter Howard would have had a bigger role. Will we see Noland again--I hope so

Any additional comments?

I hope Jamie writes more. He is the best Covert One author since Gayle Lunds

I hope Covert One doesn't end here.

As go the rest of the series this was excitement from beginning to end. Jamie carried on with the topic very well and made this a typical Covert One novel. I hope she'll keep it going.

High Octane Action!

Any additional comments?

Whew! You get a crash course in action listening to this sweet little gem of kick a**, biohazard action!

I love that each member of the team are friends who respect one another and no lines are blurred on that point. I loved that John actually acts like a grown man rather than a horny teenager with his attraction to (crap, I can't remember her name). I loved that Russell is just as hard, strong, and professional as her male team mates. And I love that this is true action entertainment.

Great narration to a great biohazard action packed tale!

Yea, this story earned my money!
