Lion of Babylon

By: Davis Bunn

Narrated by: Paul Boehmer

Marc Royce works for the State Department on special assignments, most of them rather routine, until two CIA operatives go missing in Iraq--kidnapped by Taliban forces bent on generating chaos in the region. Two others also drop out of sight--a high-placed Iraqi civilian and an American woman providing humanitarian aid. Are the disappearances linked? Rumors circulate in a whirl of misinformation. Marc must unravel the truth in a covert operation requiring utmost secrecy--from both the Americans and the insurgents. But even more secret than the undercover operation is the underground dialogue taking place between sworn enemies. Will the ultimate Reconciler between ancient enemies, current foes, and fanatical religious factions be heard?

This is a favorite. I listen to it at least once a year.

Excellent plot and filled with information on Iraq and Iran that one does not regularly encounter in this type of novel. The characters are well developed and interesting. The international situation is surprisingly apt.

Pick this up. It will stay with you

Geniune surprise with this fast paced well written and thoughtful thriller. Bought the hard cover as a gift for a Colonel going through a tough procedure. He and my best friend's mother in law read the book and raved about it so I downloaded the audio. I actually rescheduled some of my two days just to listen to the whole book and will probably listen again. The narrator was exceptional and hopefully will be the same for anymore Marc Royce books. Give this a try you won't put it down and when your done. It hangs on to you.

Excellent! I love CIA intrigue! The reader did an excellent job of giving each person his/her own voice.

OUTSTANDING BOOK!

I was told by a friend about this book and I am glad he did. As the title of this review say, this is an OUTSTANDING BOOK. I highly recommend it.

Adventurous and heartwarming

Loved the storyline and how individuals learned to trust one another in the midst of unbelievable hardships.
