Legends

A Novel of Dissimulation

De: Robert Littell

Narrado por: Grover Gardner

It's a deadly dilemma for Martin Odum: both remembering and forgetting his past are dangerous options. A discharged CIA agent turned private detective, Odum is struggling through a labyrinth of memories from past identities, "legends", in CIA parlance. Is he really Martin Odum? Or is he Dante Pippen, IRA explosives specialist? Or Lincoln Dittmann, Civil War expert? Or another, hidden legend?

When Stella Kastner asks Odum to find her missing brother-in-law, Odum's ex-boss from the CIA shows up to order him off the case. Odum takes it anyway, embarking on a search that leads him around the world battling mortal danger and psychological disorientation.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Wonderful writing and a great sense of fun make this another winner." (Publishers Weekly)

it's a good story but

I don't care for the narrator. His attempts at accents with which I'm familiar sound gratingly false. I can't rate his Russian.

great twist and turns

The way the different legends entangle

Robert Littell is a master of spy stories.

Excellent in all ways. Much deeper than I thought it was going to be. Well done!

Outstanding Reading

I have listened to all of the author's books including the 40 hour Company. Along the way, I developed a true fondness for both the author and Scott Brick who was the reader on the previous books. However, the interpretation by Grover Gardner on this one was truly exceptional and fit beautifully with this almost tongue-in-cheek spy vs. spy book. Jumping among time periods and locations and following a lead character who keeps changing "Legends" does require a little effort, but it is an effort well worth it. It is certain not a formula production.

perfect for a long train ride.

loved it, nodded off in places and will have to go back and review. If you are into spy stories you will enjoy it.
