Many of the familiar characters in a totally different light

A totally different direction for the characters, but still holds the same plot twists. They keep this storyline interesting.

Politically incorrect thriller

Anyone who enjoys Tom Clancy -- and techno-thrillers in general -- has to love Patrick Robinson, despite his politics. I have loved all his books, and will continue listening to them; although I don't think he and I would get along. In fact, we would probably come to blows. Still, he invents such exciting, (almost) believable plots that I can't stay away. I fear that Patrick Robinson's books should carry a warning label about habit-forming tendencies. We know that the good guys (us) will always come out on top, in the nick of time; rendering the harrowing, white-knuckle ride not only bearable, but even fun, like a roller-coaster. With "To the Death," I enjoyed Erik Steele's narration. He expertly handles the characters' many accents, ranging from various American, to near-Eastern, to English, to Scottish. Listen to "To the Death" for the fun of it, and disregard the politics.

Wholly cow,

I’ve enjoyed this series up to this book, it took a long time to get through as I had to keep taking breaks from this narrator. This was not his cup of tea.

A good story helps the time pass on a long boring drive

Erik Steele is a talented voice actor. One of the best. A bad reader can ruin a good story. Mr Steele does a wonderful job bringing the story to life. The fine-grained details on locations help make the story more vivid. You become sucked into the plot, not being distracted by a very poor attempt at an accent. I’ve listened to several Patrick Robinson novels. I regularly have a four hour drive. Keeping my brain submerged in a great story greatly helps the time pass. I’m sure I’ll continue on through his other novels.
