Threatcon Delta

De: Andrew Britton

Narrado por: David Ledoux

Ryan Kealey has no doubt that the forces seeking to tip this teetering world into chaos are just getting better. Better equipped, better organized, and, most terrifying of all, more patient. And despite all the ELINT, the all-seeing electronic intelligence gathered at Langley, nothing stops a devastating attack from ripping through the heart of San Antonio, Texas.

Wrenched from retirement to work the Texas tragedy, Kealey learns of a far greater threat in the Middle East. A radical terrorist group claims possession of a powerful ancient relic, the Staff of Moses, which they will use to unleash plagues across the globe. To avert unimaginable devastation, lone-wolf Kealey, armed with little more than intuition, must prevent a disaster of biblical proportions that may well be inevitable.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Britton's plots seem to jump straight out of the headlines." ( St. Louis Post Dispatch)

Narration ould be much better

Would you try another book from Andrew Britton and/or David Ledoux?

I've listened to all the Ryan Kealey series. Story wise this might not be the best but it's still pretty good. The narration left much to be desired.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Middle east settings have become so much the standard in this genre that there is little left to be educated on.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Wow! A lot.
Lack of inflection. Little distinction among characters and a somewhat sing/song cadence
Bring back Christopher Lane..

Did Threatcon Delta inspire you to do anything?

No

Any additional comments?

I think it would be a better read than listen.

Good story hard listen.

Would you consider the audio edition of Threatcon Delta to be better than the print version?

The print version is always better than the audio edition but reading at 75mph is difficult.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes the story was quite good.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The halting cadence and variable inflection of David Ledoux made me think that I had mistakenly downloaded William Shatner reads Tolstoy. Perhaps it is just me but I won't be getting another book in the series unless the narrator changes.

Disappointed from the very beginning

The narrator’s voice and performance was nearly unbearable. Britton obviously gave little concern to the main character and the story line. Like others I finished it because I bought it. Hard pass

Wrong narrator for this book

Would you try another book from Andrew Britton and/or David Ledoux?

The narrator for this novel David Ledoux is not a good choice as narrator of this book. Previous Ryan Kealy character novels were read by Christopher Lane and his voice is on target, but Mr. Ledoux has a "sing/song" way of speaking which I don't think fits the characters or settings of a Kealy novel

How did the narrator detract from the book?

His delivery was not compatible with the main character

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Yes

Any additional comments?

Use a different Narrator for Ryan Kealy character; Christopher Lane was very good.

I agree horrible narrator..

As the authors Mother I agree 💯 with everyone on the narrative , This is not a kids bedtime story! I'm wondering if we could ask Audio brilliance to have Christopher Lane to read it plus the Invisible that book was also read by a horrible narrator.. Sorry to everyone who wasted credits and time. Andrew would have been mortified.

All I can say is it's part of the series

I have read this book and completed it only because it is part of the series. This was the worst Ryan Keely book ever. This book dragged on was extremely slow and did not have the action that most Ryan Keely books have. I would only recommend this book to those who have read the other books of the series because I am a little bit of a purist and will read all of the books in the series. I'm glad I did not read this one first. I do, however, hope for a better book next time around.

Terrible narrator destroyed the story

Would you try another book from Andrew Britton and/or David Ledoux?

Loved every book by Britton about this character. The narrator destroyed the book. I am not sure I liked the story line going that far away from Ryan, but hard to tell when the narration was so bad.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

go back to whoever read the story before

What didn’t you like about David Ledoux’s performance?

Everything

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Can't tell

Any additional comments?

none

Philosophy

Too much introspection and philosophy and not enough action. Definitely not his best effort. Some insight in the inner thoughts of Ryan , our government and religious fanaticism.

Very annoyed

Would you listen to Threatcon Delta again? Why?

No, I almost turned it off because the narrator was so annoying. He sound like he was on the edge of his seat and so excited to be narrating

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

No, but it may have been the terrible performance. I have enjoyed the previous books in this series.

Would you be willing to try another one of David Ledoux’s performances?

NO

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I normally hate to stop listening but in the case of this performance it was only my desire to hear the end of the story that kept me turning it back on everyday

Any additional comments?

I have listened to over 250 audio books, some of them multiple times and have never taken the time to write a review before. I noticed that this seemed to be an in-house production of some sort and that may have been the problem, choosing a less than top notch story teller. I hope this is not the shape of things to come

Love the author, HORRIBLE Narrator!

I was excited to get this new release by Britton but the narrator is absolutely terrible and ruins the book. The author should sue whomever decided on this narrator, his audio book sales will suffer, I guarantee it!
