Shadow Conflict

Ryan Drake, Book 7

De: Will Jordan

Narrado por: Sam Devereaux

Rogue agent Ryan Drake faces deep regrets and only the slimmest shot at redemption....

Ryan Drake is incarcerated at a Black Site in an unknown location. Bruised, naked and freezing on the floor, he has nothing left. His plot to assassinate the treacherous Marcus Cain - the deputy director of the CIA - failed, and now Drake must face the consequences. But Cain needs information even more than he wants to take Drake’s life. The whereabouts of the mysterious Anya are unknown, and so she remains a threat, both to herself, and to Cain’s ruthless ambitions at Langley and beyond. He knows she’ll give everything to get Drake free, but can he know what - or rather who - she’s ready to take?

Another great book

I’m extremely enthusiastic about this series. This entry was pretty good but honestly nothing as good as Sacrifice or Betrayal.
This book really felt like filler. The main story was a big rush that lead to a conflict between A and C. However there’s no payoff for all the tension. In the end neither one dies. A and R are back together. C ends up hellbent on killing then both which isn’t any different than when they started(how every book started).
I miss Cole and Mason.

glocks don't have safeties

all In all this series is pretty awesome. he goes into a little to specific on details about weapons and such. which is why I'm writing this review. he specifically mentioned a glock 26. and the Cia operative flicking off the safety as she drew it..... well glocks do not have mechanical safeties. just annoying little thing about his hyper specificity on gun types.

Shadows

This story is filled with suspense, sadness & surprises at every turn. Masterfully written & exquisitely narrated. The sadness & sacrifices are palpable.

SOLID Accumulation to all the characters

all these characters old and new are pretty good some retuning and some are lovable to hate. there's some things that some screen play writers can take notes from these books and David Baldacci or Tom Clancy books. where the plot actually makes sense.

Awesome

Great addition to the Ryan Drake series. I highly recommend. Well worth it and a great book.

Best Ryan Drake so far

Both action packed sequence and heart breaking revelations, this one has it all. Great combination of old and new characters.

Will Jordan Finally hits his stride

I am a fan of Will Jordan, And got the books to support him. I also love this genre so it seemed like a win win. I have struggled through this series until i got to this book. Books 1-6 were clunky with inconsistent character abilities and personalities, who made obviously bad decisions. And with personalities that made no sense for their profession. Anya has never had any reason for people to help her except plot armor.
Book 7. All characters were solidly written. They made decisions consistent with there character. They were all competent and resourceful. Enough information was given and held back that i always wanted to listen a little bit more to find out what was going to happen. Plenty of twists. Frost is still the weakest character, but she didn't have an opportunity to be fleshed out with every other character getting a polish. So i hold out hope for her in the next book.
Ryan finally acted like a professional soldier. Not somebody who fell into a job way above his paygrade.
Thank you for humanizing Anya. She was such a Marie Sue. it was insufferable. This book emphasized her weaknesses and overcoming them. and Alex came into his own too.
Lauren being the foil for the audience really helped. She got to ask questions and get us answers. Someone to root for and use as a scale for power levels of everyone she came in contact with. Usually civilians have been mannequins to be blown up or ignored.
I went from listening a couple hours at a time in books 1-6 to listening to book 7 in one day. On to book 8!

Who hid my bullets?

Great story and performance. Anya has an open mind until it’s crucial.
Can’t wait for the conclusion. Bunch of babies! Seriously though, this series is “the bomb” 💣

chilling, compelling, masterpiece.

the story is intricate yet believable, the characters are deep and engaging, laughter, sorrow, anger, and more emotion provoking.

Not as good as the previous.

Too far fetched with much confusion about what is happening. Too many clusters of action not well explained.
