Awesome

Again. Awesome job to everyone who put this audio book together. If I had one’s complaint it’s the books are draining my bank account but it’s money well spent

Great story.

Hopefully there’s more to come in the saga. The author sure left an opening for a continuation.

Growing unbelievable

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Now that I finished the entire series, I am thinking that this series should have have ended successfully at three or so.

Overall a pretty good book.

How could the performance have been better?

Someone else could narrate it. If you have ever listened to Lou Diamond Phillips, you can't stand listening to Dick Hill. He can't do voices very well IMO. They all sound like they either live in Savannah or a combination of there and somewhere in the NE US. Everyone sounds like the same sarcastic person. Yuck

Not the best but good

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This book was the low point in the series for me but at least it wasn't narrated by Scott Brick, Mr. Predictable.
The story was good but if you take out all of the plot from the previous books this was short a few pages.
After reading the reviews for the next two books I think I will stop at this one. Charlie Castillo is a great character but the lack of new story is more than a bit disappointing. Did I mention that at least this wasn't done by Scott Brick?

Would you recommend Black Ops to your friends? Why or why not?

Yes I would recommend this book because it wasn't narrated by Scott Brick.

Which scene was your favorite?

When he meets the defecting agents.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No.

Any additional comments?

Great performance by someone other than Scott Brick. Did I mention that Scott Brick narrations make me want me to plunge hot ice picks into my ears?

Too much time reviewing events in previous series

All the books in the series are enjoyable, and lots of twists, turns and action.
However, too much time is given to the history in previous books in the series.

Entertaining, Slower Paced!!

Great story. I’d read it prior to purchase here and it was true to the book. Overall a great listen.
The only issue I had was with the emphasis and/or inflection of certain sentences and paragraphs. The reader seemed to not only mispronounce words but place emphasis on certain passages that changed the meaning of said passage. It was minor.
Overall, great story.

Charlie's Last Op?

Book 5 in the series, one wonders how much fun a bunch of malcontents can have in one 18 hour novel? Familiar places: DC, South America, Africa and Europe with many hours of flying in between. And, finally, the DC bureaucracy catches up with him. I did not think that it would last, but it's a really fun read watching Charlie make a fool of the DCI and the DNI. On to book 6.

Have to wait 3/4 of book to pass for any action

Read the title that I posted long drawn out and boring to listen to before any action takes place
