Hammerheads

De: Dale Brown

Narrado por: Joseph Campanella

Off the coast of southern Florida, a deadly war is being waged that threatens our national security. Thousands of kilos of illicit drugs are dumped on our shores annually. But "business as usual" takes a different turn when Sandra Geffar, head of the U.S. Customs Department, and Ian Hardcastle, Commander of the Coast Guard, put their departmental and personal squabbles behind them and team up. In a daring plan to put an end to airborne smuggling, their operation— dubbed "Hammerheads"— proposes nothing less than to fight the Colombian cartel with the latest hi-tech weaponry available. But then the smugglers up the ante.

Abridged version

This version is the abridged version and far far too short. Many of the main elements of the story were skipped over

Fun Story

Pretty good book. Exciting stuff in it. Classic Dale Brown thriller about USA's war on drugs. I read/listened the abridged version and the length was just about right. The book contains a lot of characters and (abridged) it doesn't develop any of them very well--a trade off from lengthy discussion. And, I suppose it's a boy book: lots of fun explosions and much technical data.

Poor reading

Would you try another book from Dale Brown and/or Joseph Campanella?

I love Dale Brown, in a full book. Abridged leaves something to be desired. The reader is terrible. I know 8 year olds who could do a better job.

If you’ve listened to books by Dale Brown before, how does this one compare?

It was not his best

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Joseph Campanella?

Scott Brick, Dick Hill

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

It was too painful to listen to the whole thing.

Story incomplete!

This audiobook is incomplete. only the first three chapters is read. the rest of the story is not available. I will give hammerheads book as one of the best books I have read. Get this book.
BUT the audiobook is terrible! DONOT was your time on it. There is no reason that this book should be cut to three chapters. Take your time and give this a thumbs down.

Short

Way too short. There are huge plot holes. Not worth the money. Its not part of any series so you wont miss anything.
