An Alex Hawke Novel

De: Ted Bell

Narrado por: John Shea

Dashing counterspy Alex Hawke must rescue a kidnapped American scientist as the United States and China move dangerously close to all-out nuclear war in this adrenaline-fueled thriller in the New York Times bestselling series that combines the hallmarks of Clive Cussler, Tom Clancy, Ian Fleming, and Daniel Silva.

When an elderly professor at Cambridge is murdered, a victim of bizarre, ancient Chinese torture, Alex Hawke teams up with his Scotland Yard colleague and friend Inspector Ambrose Congreve to find the killer. But the death is only the opening move in a tense and lethal game of geopolitical brinksmanship.

In the United States the president has begun behaving strangely. Is his mental health deteriorating—or is there something far more sinister behind his questionable moves? The answer is crucial, for tensions are mounting between China, North Korea, and the U.S. And China has launched fighter jets and a mega submarine vastly more sophisticated than any seen before—military technology that leapfrogs anything the U.S. and Great Britain possess.

With the situation edging toward an unthinkable abyss, Hawke must pull off his most daring mission yet: infiltrate the China and neutralize the source of their advantage . . . or risk witnessing World War III.

Starts Slow, Ends Well

I mostly enjoy the Alex Hawke series and this one was ok. Seems like thriller writers got together and all decided to use the Chinese as protagonists for the last 2 years or so.

For whatever reason, this one was bouncing back and forth between a few three story threads all the time which got sort of irritating. When it started to flow together about 3/4 the way through it finished well.

I can never quite get into John Shea's performances. It was ok, but it seems like he's done better in the past. Something about his Stokely Jones really grates on me. His job was made easier because his main Chinese bad guy and his daughter all speak with British accents. Ok, but not great.

loved it can't wait for the next one'

keeps me on the edge of my seat and you hated that the book had to end

Excellent story from start to finish

I have read every book in the hawk series-and have thoroughly enjoyed each and everyone. This may be my favorite. But this is the first time I actually listened to one on audiobook. And I was a little disappointed with the narrator. I've listened to around 40 other audiobooks with other narrators that seem to have a better range of male female and other character voices. But it may also be because I've had all these other characters in my head and this is the first time I've heard someone else's rendition of what they would sound like. I highly recommend the book.

they just keep, keeping me engaged

making my way through the whole Alex Hawke series and continue to be very pleased by the twists and turns in the unfolding of the stories.
