Traitor

A Novel

De: Jonathan de Shalit

Narrado por: Jacques Roy

This “smart, thought-provoking, rising crescendo of suspense” (The Real Book Spy) pits the intelligence of one man against one of the most successful spies ever to operate against American interests.

When a young Israeli walks into an American embassy and offers to betray his country for money and power, he has no idea that the CIA agent interviewing him is a Russian mole. Years later, the Israeli has risen in the ranks to become a trusted advisor to Israel’s prime minister and throughout his career, he’s been forced to share everything with the Kremlin.

Now, however, a hint that there may be a traitor in the highest realms of power has slipped out and a top-secret team is put together to hunt him down. The chase leads the team from the streets of Tel Aviv to deep inside the Russian zone and, finally, to the United States, where a most unique spymaster is revealed. The final showdown—between the traitor and the betrayed—can only be resolved by an act of utter treachery that could have far-reaching and devastating consequences for all of humanity.

Excellent

How to catch a mole. This story is a good and proper espionage thriller with a mighty twist. I could not put it down. An excellent choice of narrator gives a definite credence to the story.

This book is fractured

The book has several smalls stories that just never seem to go any where and then when you to the point where the book book should have some action it just fizzles out.

Too many shortcuts

The special intelligence team sets out to investigate...and boy are they lucky! First clues (which require giant leaps of faith) pay off. Disgruntled ex-spies talk (more than once).....The writing wasn't terrible, but the author was a tad lazy when explaining how the puzzle pieces came together.

Traitor Really?

Story of the deception, overshadowed by long winded narrative of a happenstance capture. But, to end with another super-spy the Viper😝😝😝. Setup for continuation story-line.

What a book

Brilliant and subtle, almost nothing in it is like anything else, hard to put down, the kind of book you wish wouldn’t end. Till the next one!
