Resumen del Editor

In his Washington DC office, his door reads: Shaw, Attorney at Law, but he has never fought a case in court. He has no known residence and barely anyone who he can count as a friend. He works for a clandestine agency with no name and no real ties to the government. His true identity is cloaked in mystery.

Tease, once an assassin for a powerful crime lord, now works for an agency no one knows exists. Her face and body has been changed, along with her identity. As Sphinx, she was trained to be a better killer and brought down an operation marketing a deadly new drug called Grandeur. Always a loner, she is forced to work with a team who does not have a problem cutting her throat if she ever steps out of line.

The chase for two deadly men who control nuclear devices nears its explosive end. The tables have turned on Shaw. For years he was the hunter, but now he has become the prey. Assassins from around the world have been commissioned to take him down at any cost. Fighting to stay alive long enough to complete his mission, Shaw knows the clock is ticking ever closer to a nuclear explosion unless he succeeds. With hundreds of thousands of lives at stake, failure is not an option. To make matters worse, a familiar enemy of Tease's reemerges from her past, rekindling their deadly rivalry. This time the killing isn't for business, it's personal.

More terrorist excitement

Not the best book I ever read, but not the worst either. Not having read the first two in this series I was a little worried about picking up on the main characters, but that wasn't a problem. The story line was good, and believable, but for some reason I was just not captivated and I found myself thinking of other things at times and had to go back from time to time to pick up something I missed. The story is about a clandestine group trying to recapture some stolen suitcase nuclear devices lost by the US military. The main character, Shaw, has had 1 million dollar bounty put on his head by one of the terrorists in control of the devices in an effort to thwart Shaw. The $10M bounty attracts all kinds of professional assasins in to try and kill Shaw and his partner, Sphinx, who he finds himself attracted to, and who also seems familiar to him.

Shaw the hunter becomes the hunted.

This is book three of the series so I am missing the main plot which seems to be missing nuclear devices. Shaw works for one of our black agencies and poses as an attorney. Sphinx is an assassin, also for a black agency, who watches Shaw’s back as he tracks down the men and missing nuclear devices. Shaw is usually the hunter, but a ten million dollar reward has been placed on his head and assassins are coming out of the woodwork to collect. Besides Shaw’s problems, Sphinx has her own issue from the past to deal with. Shaw and Sphinx definitely have their work cut out for themselves.

Bodycount -lots of dead. Betcha can't count that high

Any additional comments?

I actually liked the story, but sometimes it was difficult to understand the narrator with her different accents and voices. There is a lot of action throughout and the characters are interesting. There is also an enormous amount of cursing. I wonder if most assassins speak that crudely? I guess I won't find out unless I unfortunately meet one. I voluntarily reviewed this audiobook after receiving an advanced copy.

Thriller following a formula.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I didn't particularly enjoy this book myself, hence I can't recommend it to my friends. The book is supposed to be a thriller, and it is; but it does follow a set formula and thus is somewhat predictable. I wasn't captivated by the story and it wasn't an edge-of-the-seat kind of adventure, something you would expect given that synopsis. Having said all that, it wasn't totally boring. Just that it was just another run-of-the-mill anti-terrorist story.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

The narration was unclear at a few places. Other than that, it was alright.

a decent spy v terrorist book

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

This was an enjoyable, if formulaic, story of clandestine organization trying to thwart extremist terrorists. It is a thriller, but I don't know that I'd call it psychological thriller, as it never made me think to hard or question what I thought I knew. It was entertaining, and, even though it was the third in a series, I thought it stood alone fairly well.

Good book!

Enjoyed the plot, had some trouble with the narrator. Worth a listen.
