Sweepers

De: P. T. Deutermann

Narrado por: Dick Hill

In 1969, a Navy SEAL, a trained assassin on a confidential mission, is dropped off in the Vietnam jungle. Days later, a U.S. gunboat returns to pick him up, but the boat's young captain panics under fire and leaves the SEAL behind.

Twenty years later, that young captain is now a Pentagon admiral as the SEAL returns to Washington, D.C. with his own career change: he's become a sweeper - a clandestine cleaner of secret messes. And he's come back to claim "some things of value" - things the admiral can't afford to lose.

Navy Commander Karen Lawrence - sharp, smart, and savvy - is assigned to investigate the bad things that start happening to the admiral. She finds herself caught between one man's boundless ambition and another's relentless quest for revenge.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Deutermann's inside knowledge of the Navy and Pentagon politics, coupled with his likable protagonists, make this a gripping new addition to his line of naval mysteries." ( Publishers Weekly)

Amazing Story, Very Gripping

This book reaches out and grabs you by the throat and holds you there until you finish it, very well done. I also love how he works in "historical" pieces as well, it's so believable it's crazy. Very intense, very entertaining, and most of all a very good story!

Outstanding story!

This has to be one of Deutermann’s best in a long line of great storytelling!

Thoroughly enjoyed

Dick Hill was great as usual, story was well written and kept our our interest all the way to the end. highly recommend.

I was uncomfortable.

Some of the chapters were so well written and descriptive. It made me uncomfortable to listen to them. But of course, it was impossible to stop.

Ok But

The technical mistakes make this otherwise good story less interesting. A semiautomatic Glock will only fire one round if the trigger is held back. Poor research not artistic license. I find it frustrating when characters portrayed as highly competent repeatedly make silly mistakes. Dick Hill is one of my favorite narrators but, the synthesized voice was pretty much unintelligible. Good story made bad by poor research, poor character development and production.
