Publisher's summary

Noah Wolf is one of the world's most deadly assassins, completely devoid of emotion and conscience. These factors, which others would consider to be handicaps, allow him to evaluate situations instantly, and from a purely logical standpoint. His decisions and actions are never tainted by emotion or feelings, which frees him from any risk of fear or guilt.

When Team Camelot is handed an unusual mission to rescue the abducted daughter of a foreign president, Noah and the rest go into it with confidence, and are quickly successful. Back home, they are ready to celebrate, but something doesn't feel right. The mission was too easy, and there are indicators that someone may have discovered who they are and tracked them back to Neverland. Noah's house is entered while the team is away, and he is unable to shake the feeling that the mission was nothing but a ruse to expose E & E.

It doesn't take long for him to decide that they must return to the field, their new mission to track down a Russian counterpart of their own Allison Peterson. Nicolaich Andropov has marked Noah for termination, so Noah decides to use himself as bait to draw the man into a trap. Unfortunately, Andropov is known as a ghost, a man whose appearance is unknown, able to move in absolute secrecy and remain several steps ahead of any who pursue him. When Noah fails to recognize this fact, Sarah becomes a hostage and pawn in a battle to the death. There's only one tiny chance to save her, but it will mean Noah must go unarmed and alone to meet his nemesis. The game is on, with his own life and Sarah's as the prize.

Noah may have some feelings after all...

What other book might you compare Lone Wolf to and why?

Any other David Archer book. He has a very recognizable style.

Any additional comments?

Really good storyline, well thought out plot involving a staged kidnapping and rescue that goes s little to easy. That's because the instigator planned it that way to locate and eliminate Noah and his team. When Noah's girlfriend is kidnapped though, the man who has no feelings has something he can't name! Guess there's some humanity still in there after all. The end will confirm this as well.
This is perfect for people who are opposed to cursing because I could probably count on one hand how many curse words were used in the entire book.
Overall HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Another 5 star action thriller from David Archer!

Noah Wolf Book 2, Lone Wolf, is even better than Code Name: Camelot. This espionage thriller is as good as any of the genre. Noah Wolf, the protagonist, is a man without fear or emotion due to some events during his childhood, but the emotion part seems to be cracking at least as it relates to the female member of his Team Camelot. The team is charged with eliminating and eradicating enemies of the US. Archer does a great job of developing his characters. Adam Verner does a excellent job of narration.

This book has my HIGHEST POSSIBLE RECOMMENDATION. Also, consider listening to the Sam Prichard series by the same author. David Archer has established himself in the top tier of suspense and espionage thriller authors.

British Intelligence

M-sixteen? Really? Isn’t it called M-I-6? Surely the director of the recording sessions would have caught this.

Narration is third rate

I was surprised to learn that the narrator is the same narrator for all of the books. The voice for Moose sounded awfully like the moose from Rocky and Bullwinkle. The voice for computer whiz kid Neal was so pitchy that I couldn't take it. The Dragon lady's voice was too similar to Noah's at times. The Accents, particularly the southern accent, was terrible. The book was good, the audible book terrible. I feel bad being so harsh on the narrator but I was annoyed so often in the book that I have to be honest here.

Unintended hilarity

What would have made Lone Wolf better?

Better writing, better performance, a plot without such obvious holes.

Has Lone Wolf turned you off from other books in this genre?

Still love the adventure/intrigue genre but will not follow this particularly series and intend to return this first volume.

Would you be willing to try another one of Adam Verner’s performances?

Not on your life! You know those voice actors who are masters of nuance? Who can smoothly and believably transition among several accents - British, Russian, Middle-Eastern, U.S. southern? Well, that ain't this guy. All of his voices sound like cartoon characters. There were Dudly Do-Right, Boris Badenov, Yogi Bear and I think even Mr. Ranger. The cadence was all wrong. And then there were the mispronunciations, STELLA-toe for stiletto, etc. Verner has a pleasant enough voice and did not stumble (by which I mean he mispronounced words with confidence) but I think he would make a better "announcer" than book narrator.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disappointment. I use audio books for distraction during mind-numbing tasks, so I'm fairly tolerant if the writing or performance are not first class. But this was pure dreck,

Any additional comments?

In addition to the unskilled performance, the writing was poor. Dialog was stilted and uninteresting. Absolutely no humor here, folks.

Horrible

The story is not developed at all. The narrator is brutally amateurish in his voice alterations. And the characters are superficial. I have given up on David Archer.

Worse than a Soap Opera

If you like Soap Operas, you would probably enjoy this.. The story has potential, but it is written for a 12 year old audience.
The authors attempt at humor is cringe.. the characters are boring and shallow.
The narrator is just plain terrible, his accents are more suited to a comedy and maybe the Hardy Boys series. He is a very poor choice for this genre of book..
I tried, but I cant finish this book.. cringe city all the way!

2nd time same as the 1st

I listened to the 1st book and thought, the big mission wrapped up with no feeling of reaching a climax. I decided to try the 2nd book. Same thing, it's like I'm reading a simple historical account of events. There's no build up, no tension, no peak of success...
And there's the narrator. I've decided that I can't stand his accents. His accents are all over the place. He also reads with as much passion and emphasis as the emotionless main character.
Speaking of that, if I had to hear about the "lack of emotion" that Noah has, I was going to delete the book without finishing it... the book actually began putting me to sleep while driving.

repetitive. redundant. echo echo

I read the first in this series and thought it had some potential. I was wrong. This book is irredeemable after only the first half hour or so. The author tries in medias res, but then proceeds to bring everyone up to speed on what's happening at least three times. Haven't i heard this before? And it's not particularly dramatic, even. Then there's the clumsy exposition where characters carefully explain to each other things they already know, in tedious detail. Meanwhile the narrator, in the background, is explicating every tired trope of the genre as though they are freshly minted insights. This book was written as though for readers who have never read a book, or written by an author who has never read a book. Worse books have assuredly been written, but none leaps immediately to mind . . .
