Trojan Horse

Sasha Del Mira, Book 1

De: David Lender

Narrado por: Mel Foster

International finance, oil profiteering, espionage and a race to stop a terrorist plot are the backdrop to this love story between an exotic spy who longs for a soulmate and a life-saturated financier who’s a recent widower.

Daniel Youngblood is a world-weary oil and gas investment banker who’s ready to hit the beach, when he’s hired by a Saudi Prince for an OPEC deal where he can net himself $25 million as a swan song. At the same time, he meets and falls in love with Lydia, an exotic European fashion photographer, who he later discovers is really a CIA trained spy with a shocking history with the Saudi Prince. She convinces Daniel to enlist in what becomes a race for the lovers to stop a Muslim terrorist internet plot to bring down the Saudi royal family and cripple the world’s oil capacity, all before they wind up dead.

Where does Trojan Horse rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

In the middle

Any additional comments?

I wish the book would have gone more in depth about Sasha's background. She seemed to be such a badda$$ with a firearm, but where did she learn how to use one. I think there was a reference to her shooting when she was younger, but she seemed to have tactics. That would have made the story a bit more realistic.

By far the worst novel I've listened too.

What disappointed you about Trojan Horse?

Character development was almost nonexistent. I couldn't get grasp the story without knowing the characters.

What didn’t you like about Mel Foster’s performance?

His voice didn't seem to match the story or tell it well.
