Flashpoint

The Troubleshooters, Book 7

De: Suzanne Brockmann

Narrado por: Patrick Lawlor, Melanie Ewbank

From unrelenting action to intense emotion, from high-stakes drama to breakneck pacing, New York Times best-selling author Suzanne Brockmann is a novelist who does it all. Flashpoint is an exciting thriller about men and women operating where agents of the US government cannot, where America's most ruthless enemies thrive - and where every step you take just might be your last.

Jimmy Nash has already lived two lives - and he can't talk about either of them. Formerly an operative of a top secret government agency, he has found a new job with a shadowy company called Troubleshooters Inc. Created by a former Navy SEAL, Troubleshooters Inc. helps anyone in desperate need - which provides a perfect cover for its other, more perilous objective: covert special operations.

Now Nash and a quickly assembled team of expert operators have come to the earthquake-ravaged country of Kazbekistan in the guise of relief workers. There amid the dust and death, in a land of bloodred sunsets and ancient blood feuds, they must track down a missing laptop computer that may hold secrets vital to national security.

To get it done, Nash does what he does best: break every rule in the book and manipulate those who can help him get what he needs. But this time Nash may have met his match in Tess Bailey, a Troubleshooters operative with all the right instincts - and zero field experience. The chemistry between them is immediate - and potentially explosive. Now these two professionals must play out their dangerous games in the world's most dangerous place, cut off from their own government, cutting deals with people they can't trust, and guarding forbidden passions that threaten to compromise their crucial mission.

A full-throttle adventure teamed with heated emotion, Flashpoint proves that Suzanne Brockmann can spin suspense unlike any other author working today.

Steamy Story

I don’t know how a story about fighting in a foreign land can be steamy but Suzanne Brockman did it. Great easy listen.

Another great installment in The Troubleshooters

If you're unfamiliar with The Troubleshooters, it would be fine to start with this one, but embracing the entire series from the beginning is really the way to go. Flashpoint is complex, scary, informative, and wickedly hot. This time we're in Kazbekistan, and the primary characters are Jimmy Nash and Tess Bailey. But as she always does, Ms. Brockmann weaves other characters' stories into her main plot line, and we spend time with several members of the Troubleshooters' Team and watch team leader Lawrence Decker encounter the beautiful but tragic Sophia Ghaffari for the first time. Patrick Lawylor and Melanie Ewbank do their normal pitch-perfect work. None of these wonderful books ends on a cliff-hanger, but Ms. Brockmann's world is so rich and complex that one is compelled to track down the next volume as quickly as possible. I for one hope the Troubleshooter world goes on forever.

Good, just different.

I was disappointed at first because the characters I've come to love in the Troubleshooters series are barely mentioned. It didn't take me long to become vested in these new characters though and love them too. I'm now looking forward to reading these new guys' stories. I gave the performance only four stars this time where I usually give them five, not because they weren't good, but because they read this one differently than they've read the previous books in this series. It was little things like pronouncing names differently than they previously had and giving Tom a new accent. (Tom and Cosmo do appear briefly in this book) they were still good, just different. That pretty much sums this book up, good, just different from the previous books.

Awesome!

Another great book by Suzanne Brockman. She definitely is a very talented author! Very suspenseful and yet romantic at times too!

Love the book
