Publisher's summary

A team of military contractors fights for its life in this high-adrenaline, full-cast drama from Mark Greaney, author of the Audible and New York Times best-selling Gray Man series.

Josh Duffy is staring into the abyss.

A decorated army veteran turned military contractor, his last mission went sideways, leaving him badly injured and his career derailed. Now, he’s working as a mall cop, trying to keep his family one step ahead of the bill collectors.

So when a chance at redemption - and a big pay day - comes his way, Duff eagerly jumps in.

The job - to ride shotgun on a motorcade of heavily armed and armored vehicles as they roll into Mexico’s cartel country. The mission - to find a notorious drug lord and bring him to the negotiating table with the Mexican government and the UN.

But Duff’s employer, Armored Saint, has a track record that’s sketchy, at best. And from the moment the motorcade hits the dusty roads, the danger only increases.

It's a suicide run - and for Duff, the violent forces of the cartels may not be the biggest threat.

NOTE: Armored contains scenes of violence and strong language and is intended for mature listeners.

Movie in your ears

I don’t normally bother with these reviews but this production was something else, more like a movie in your ears than anything I have heard for 30 years, not since the last of the radio plays. The story was strong, multidimensional and action packed, hard to put down. The performance’s where excellent. It’s going to be hard going back to a voice reading a book, even Jack Reacher read by Jeff Harding falls flat against this multidimensional production. Treat yourself, it’s a movie in your head and ears, give your eyes a rest and enjoy, and, I dare you to try and fall asleep, not going to happen.

Disappointed

I bought this because I love the Gray Man stories and the amazing things in the plots. This is a radio serial type delivery, not what I expected and I am sorry I bought it.

I hope Greaney turns out some more Gray Man. I might enjoy reading or listening to a regular delivery of this but am not willing to have it blasted at me like this item does.

Format used sucks

You said the book was 5hrs and change, listening to nothing and trucks and helicopters did not add to story line. Cast of thousands does not work either

What you'd expect from Greaney

Full cast productions are written more like a radio show script than a book. If you are expecting the typical dramatic delivery from Jay Snyder you'll be disappointed. He's the best reader on audible and he has a small role here. If a story is well scripted there's a lot to be said about a full cast performance. Most performances here were good. The story is full of tense moments and action. Although there's no central character on the level of the Gray Man, the characters are interesting and the story is full of edge of your seat action. Mark Greaney's storytelling is simply the best in my opinion.

Absolutely Fuckin Amazing!

As a veteran 11B team leader from OIFIII, this amazing work of art brought so many emotional responses from me. Something that an audiobook never has done. Mark is my favorite author, and he proves why with this. The writing is amazing and accurate. The cast did a perfect job. I've never heard an audiobook that had acting as good as this. All of you should be proud for doing such an accurate and amazing job on this project. You all did a great service to the men and woman of our military with this accurate portrayal. Thank you and I look forward to this new series!

Surprisingly GOOD!

At first I was not too thrilled with the enactment vs the usual narrative I have become accustomed to over the past 250+ audio books I’ve had the pleasure to hear. The story came alive as the actors came into the light, and the special effects really added a lot to the realism. I would recommend this book to anyone that likes Mark Greaney’s work, its really like being in a big movie theatre!

FANTASTIC AUDIO PLAY!!

As an avid Mark Greaney fan, I was excited to listen to a new original work. This was my first time listening to an audio play with multiple characters. Takes a sec to adjust to this new format, but beyond worth it!! Fantastic action packed ride that fans of Greaney are sure to love!! HIGHLY recommend!!!

Trendy has done it again.

WOW !!! what a great listen. Best format I've ever heard. A must listen everyone was great.

Excellent story and presentation

As usual, the research for this story was impeccable! The portrayal of operations and battle for private security forces was believable and moving. The characters were realistic and the story definitely held my attention. I highly recommend!!

What a ride

Every action/thiller needs to be performed like this. Like another company says "A movie in your mind" Please audible, have other books performed in this manner.

Super

Listen to the entire thing in a day. Love the multi cast performance. Wish it was longer.

Top notch drama

Great production and atmosphere, plenty of ambience and action throughout. If you like this sort of thing, you can't go far wrong with this one.

loved it!

super immersive experience, great storyline and I got a kick out of Jay Snyder's bad guy portrayal....

Great listening

Well worth listening too. If you like his grayman series you will enjoy this.

Exciting Plot

I don’t usually like an audio book with sound effects and cast but this was excellent. The story the voice acting and sound stage/ effects were excellent. I would recommend this book

Great listen

This full cast audio book is my first
Listen and I absolutely loved it .
You get the different characters which makes it a must better listen

Loved it!

I really loved this book. The story was very interesting and the narrators were great. Listening to the book with a full cast of voice actors was like listening to a movie. The sounds, storyline and narration all came together to make a wonderful book.

Annoying Background Noise

A big fan of Mark Greaney and story didn’t disappoint. However, constant background noise made it difficult to hear the story and deleting the book and downloading again didn’t help. Never had this problem before.

A book made better..

I was dubious about the full cast reading the book, but it was great, you can hear the bullets flying and get a feel of who the characters really are…a great performance.

This is AWESOME!!!

Story is the same brilliance we expect from Mark Greaney. But the fact that this is also narrated by a full cast makes this one of the best things I’ve listened to in a while.

The story has you hooked from the first 3 minutes and you’re in. For the next 5 hours you’re in for one hell of a story.

I found myself trying find more chores around the house so I could keep listening.

100% recommend.
