Story
First Lady Anna Darmond has been kidnapped in a bloody gunfight. It's an unthinkable crime that, if revealed, could cause public panic, so hostage rescue specialist Jonathan Grave and his team must operate in absolute secrecy. But the mission is not all it seems. There are shadows in Mrs. Darmond's past. As Grave tracks the missing First Lady through a labyrinth of lies and murder, he confronts a traitor at the highest level of Washington power - and a devastating scheme to bring a nation to its knees.

The first victims are random. Ordinary citizens, fired upon at rush hour by unseen assassins. Caught in the crossfire of one of the attacks, rescue specialist Jonathan Grave spies a gunman getting away - with a mother and her young son as hostages. To free them, Grave and his team must enter the dark heart of a nationwide conspiracy. But their search goes beyond the frenzied schemes of a madman's deadly ambitions. This time, it reaches all the way to the highest levels of power.

Their mission: Find the dead man's teenage son, who's on the run - and off the grid - with crucial information that must not fall into the wrong hands. There's one problem: The boy's bodyguard is a security specialist with unusual talents, and she's not giving up without a fight.

It begins with a shocking act of vengeance. Barista Ethan Falk chases a customer into the parking lot and kills him. He tells police that years ago, the older man abducted and tortured him. Then Ethan's story takes an even stranger turn: He says he was rescued by a guy named Scorpion. Of course there is no record of either the kidnapping or the rescue, because Scorpion - Jonathan Grave - operates outside the law and leaves no evidence.

That way. It’s such a simple request that Nate doesn’t think twice about turning down the path Liz suggests. But when he finds the body, he realizes he should have known better. Liz has the habit of pointing him toward those who need his help, even if they're no longer living. His deceased girlfriend isn’t the only one pushing him to solve the woman’s murder. After his best friend Jar discovers the woman’s true identity, she insists they need to investigate. Nate is not as sure. The police are on the case, after all, and if he and Jar intervene, they'd only get in the way.

But then a farmer’s beautiful young wife is found brutally murdered, with a chilling calling card that suggests she’s just the first victim of a serial killer.

Publisher's Summary
The hostages are young: a bus full of teenagers on a church mission. The ransom demands are explicit: deliver three million dollars - with zero involvement from law enforcement - or all captives will be executed. But rescue specialist Jonathan Grave doesn't believe in ultimatums. For him and his elite team at Security Solutions, it's all about protecting the innocent. Now Grave must face the chilling possibility that someone within the U.S. government has a deadly secret to protect - one that could jeopardize national security like never before.

Jonathan Gave is awesome. Great series, great book
Where does Damage Control rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
It's ranked pretty high. As far as series go? I would rank it 3rd. First being Kack reacher and second being Jonathan Quinn.
What did you like best about this story?
The characters. The action. The passion. The malice. Idk. It was very action packed and entertaining. I like to listen to books I like again a few months later. This will definitely be getting a second listen.
Which character – as performed by Basil Sands – was your favorite?
Probably Boxers. He does his voice perfect. When he talks you can actually see his ominous size and strength. Love his sarcasm too.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Sure. But I never have that luxury.
Any additional comments?
I wish Basil Sands read the whole series. I won't even buy the other ones because I don't want them ruined by another narrator (who the reviews say is terrible). Ill just have to read them myself so they'll still have the same voices and personalities in my head.

Mexico to US -- or BUST
This is the fourth in a series of thrillers. The main character Jonathan Grave is one of those super human ex-military types who can take on a battalion of soldiers and win. His assignment is to exchange money for a group of people from a US mega church. Sounds easy but it doesn't end up that way. After a gunfight with the kidnappers, Jonathan, his team, and his PC (precious cargo) head north, running into many obstacles along the way. If you enjoyed the other books in this series you won't be disappointed with this one. If you are new to the series you will still enjoy it as it requires no prior knowledge of the characters. Yes, I would recommend this book to mystery/thriller readers. It's not edge-of your seat suspense but it's a good listen.

No real plot - mostly guns and violence
We had listened to the previous three books and were looking forward to an interesting plot and character development/exploration in this book. Instead we were treated to long descriptions of guns and violent ambushes and fights. If you like that kind of stuff, this book is for you.

Jonathan Grave is No Gabriel Alon or Mitch Rapp.
I love mystery, legal, and espionage thrillers. I read every Vince Flinn, David Baldacci, John Grisham, Nelson De Mille, and Daniel Silva, I can get my hands on. Now that I have read all of their books, I find it difficult to fill the time as I am a "chain listener". After my third Jonathan Grave, I found myself cursing and groaning out loud. "That's ridiculous!" "Stop lecturing. I can't take it." “How morally inconsistent can you make one character?" By this last, I don't mean that the character varies from book to book, his basic code seems to vary within a book, especially this one. At one point, he will be teaching his PCs (precious cargo. If I had a nickel for every time the author explained that!) to kill the bad guys without remorse and at the next he's angry because a prominent political figure was once a spy who murdered people. Come on, now! If any of the above authors are your favorites and you are looking for something similar, don't look here.

Could not stand the Narrator
To each their own, all I will say is that you should do a sample listen before buying the book. I have only turned in 2 books in 10 years and this is one of them. Too bad, seemed like a good story (I only lasted an hour).

When a male narrator does kids and women's voices.
What would have made Damage Control better?
Don't have the male narrator try to sound like a woman or kid. It sounds like pre-1960's tv where they'd sometimes dub an adult voice to a kid. Weird. I can't get it out of my head. I haven't listened to a lot of audible fiction so I don't know if that's the norm. If it is I'll stick to non-fiction. Ruins the characters - at least the kids and women.
Would you be willing to try another book from John Gilstrap? Why or why not?
Maybe. Story was ok.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Basil Sands?
No idea.
