Armored

By: Mark Greaney

Narrated by: Adam Gold

A novel inspired by #1 New York Times best-selling author Mark Greaney’s Audible Original drama, Armored.

Joshua Duffy is a Close Protection Agent—a professional bodyguard—and he's one of the world's elite operatives. That is, he was until his last mission in Lebanon. Against all odds, Josh got his primary out alive, but the cost was high. Josh lost his lower left leg.

There's not much call for an elite bodyguard with such an injury. So, Josh has to support his family working as a mall cop in New Jersey. For a man like Josh, this is purgatory on earth, but miracles can occur even in Paramus.

A lucky run-in with an old comrade promises to get Josh back in the field for one last job. The UN is sending a peace mission into the Sierra Madre mountains in Mexico, an area so dangerous it's known as Espinazo del Diablo—the Devil's Spine. Only a fool would think they could broker peace between the homicidal drug cartels in the region, and only a madman would sign on to keep those fools alive.

Josh & Nic

Another great book by Mr. Greaney. Loved the new characters! Hope this will continue.

Loved this Book!

I absolutely enjoyed this book. The story unfolded in a way that was actually unpredictable. The narrator was engaging and I found myself having difficulty putting this book down. The book was a perfect balance of detail, story and feeling. I wish there was a follow-up title. I haven’t enjoyed anything as much since the Grayman.

Very exciting.

Lived it. Wish more was said about the main character in the mist of the book.

Another thrilling story by the Master of Thrills

It all comes together to tell a great story. there is an unexpected twist at the end which makes us a must read.

We’ll Done

Started a little slow for Mark Greaney, but I was glad I stuck with it. The characters were well thought out and the narration was excellent. This was a surprise for me because I didn’t expect to like this type of story. I think this is something anyone could like. I enjoyed it thoroughly and will give anything Mark Greaney writes a try.
