Resumen del Editor

“One of the best thrillers you'll read this year.” (Lee Child, number-one New York Times best-selling author)

No one knows what CIA desk jockey Zac Miller is capable of - including himself - until a routine surveillance job becomes a do-or-die mission in the Middle East.

When a commercial flight violates restricted airspace to make an emergency landing at a closed airport in Iran, the passengers are just happy to be alive and ready to transfer to a functional plane. All of them except one...the American technology consultant in business class is not who he says he is.

Zac Miller is a CIA analyst. And after an agent's cover gets blown, Zac - though never trained to be a field operative - volunteers to take his place, to keep a surveillance mission from being scrubbed. Zac thinks it will be easy to photograph the earthquake-ravaged airport that is located near a hidden top-secret nuclear facility. But when everything that can go wrong does, he finds himself on the run from the Islamic Revolutionary Guards and abandoned by his own teammates, who think he has gone rogue.

Embarking on a harrowing journey through the mountains of Iran to the Persian Gulf and across Europe, Zac can only rely on himself. But even if he makes it out alive, the life he once had may be lost to him forever....

Reseñas de la Crítica

“A Ulysses-like odyssey... If only he'd run into a whirlpool and a monster, readers might mistake this adventure for a tale by Homer.... Let's hope for more Zac Miller adventures.” (Kirkus Reviews)

“A fine thrill ride... The writing is lean and propulsive, the characters offbeat and interesting." (Booklist)

"Starts with a bang, and then gets better and better....” (Lee Child, number-one New York Times best-selling author of The Midnight Line)

Great Plot, Characters and Narration!!!

I loved this and really hope it becomes an extended series. Very well done all around.

Borne Identity Revisited

$5 series sale. I read book 2 first out of order and it’s a good thing or I would not have continued with this series if I had started with this book one. Jonathan Davis is a superb narrator and he made this book, so if you are a fan of his like I am, do not miss Sandra Brown’s mean streak where I discovered Mr. Davises talents.
If you love the Bourne identity, you will love this book. Book 3 is it in Somalia and based on this book I don’t care to go there. Books set in Russia with thugs and the Middle East with their hatred of women rights, are not stories for me. l don’t care to hear stories with descriptions of how they debase women’s rights. For me that’s not entertainment it just piles on the injustice in the world. My favorite reviewers love this series so read Shelly and Wayne for their great take and decide.
Were my comments of help?

solid story and great narration

If you're a fan of action thrillers, then this book is for you.

The story flows smoothly and keeps you on edge while the narrator does a superb job of conveying the story and characters.

Jonathan Davis made the story!

Many truly unbelievable far fetched scenarios in my opinion. Still a good story. Will see what the next book brings.

Not a bad start ... but ...

Fast paced, interesting plot, decent character development, but unsatisfying ending hence the 3 stars overall. The story is pretty good and with new twist. Our hero overcomes one challenge after another, some more realistically than others but this is fiction. But the conclusion seems rushed, threads are left unfinished, the hero marginally successful, and the setup to create a series feels forced. Taken together it just left me unsatisfied.

I hope this book becomes a series.

a young spy cutting his teeth the hard way finds himself alone and fighting man and nature.

Great Reader BUT,,,,,,,

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, good story, well researched and start of what looks like it will have a reoccurring hero.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

The narration was annoying at times. The reader is very talented with great characterzations. His issue is he changes volume often. He starts yelling to create suspense or show excitement / danger, whispers to show show quiet danger. He does the volume changes often enough that you are constantly having to adjust the volume. Very annoying while driving and when using ear plugs at the gym.

a good read

very fast pace, on the edge of your seat thriller. just for fun and kicks

Engaging,, but who is Jake Keller?

Draws you in from the very beginning and keeps that pace throughout!

Jonathan Davis is a great narrator, but he really shines in this performance. His performance greatly enhances the thrill of the listen.

I gave a 4 star to story because “Jake Keller” is never mentioned, but yet, this book is the first in the Jake Keller series. Hmm…that’s a head scratcher.

I loved it!

I loved this, including the narrator, right from the audio preview. Just hearing the exchange between a pilot and an air traffic controller which was mostly numbers had a sense of mystery and excitement and drew me in immediately. Yes, I suppose some of it is a bit implausible, but in a way, that was fine. I think it's old fashioned good story telling where you let yourself be taken along for the ride. Also, there is constant intrigue where you're wondering who to trust and why things are happening the way they are, so your mind is engaged. Lots of interesting travel. It's fun thinking about what goes on in Bandar-e Bushehr, Iran, for example. It certainly ends leaving the opportunity for more and at my writing, number 2 is ready and waiting. Hope he keeps up this great work as the series continues.
