Publisher's summary

A former Delta Force commander, Brad Taylor proves with this breathtaking debut thriller that Vince Flynn and Brad Thor have company.

A collection of top operatives, the Taskforce was commissioned by the highest levels of government, kept secret from the media and even Congress. The best of the Taskforce bunch, Pike Logan, knows the greatest threat to American security is one or two idealogues. Unfortunately for them, they’ve just crossed Pike’s path.

great story... ummm confusing narration

A two narrator format can work really well, it didn't here though. At introduction they tell you one of the narrators will be the voice for the main character, great, check. except that should have an asterisk- not always. That's where it got confusing and distracting which is a shame, the story is really good.

I really tried to like it... I really did.

Well the story itself is not bad. The voices are awful... meaning it’s like a GI Joe adventure cartoon with the narrators . It’s a bit over the top abs I found it rather annoying. I struggled through it. Over all not a bad story... truly... but the narrators... could do without them...

Not worth the hype

Jennifer was a constant annoying brat who controlled Pike like a puppet. The story was completely unbelievable. And what happened to Lucas.
This series gets a lot of great reviews but it’s off to a bad start. I’ll try 1.5 and see how it goes.

Jennifer should have more guts

You either kill the enemy or they come back after you. Jennifer may be cute but I have no patience for a woman like that. I doubt that a real soldier would put up with her very long. I didn’t and I’m a woman! She isn’t as bad in later books but sigh…..

Good story, disappointing storytelling

Any additional comments?

The story was interesting, but it was hard to get past the voices telling the story to appreciate it.

Narrator got better as the story progressed

Most unusual narrator. Everybody sounded like the Midwest US -- Guatemalan, Arab, Bosnian, everybody. It was disconcerting at first, but you got used to it.

Horrible narration

Would you be willing to try another one of J. D. Jackson and Neil Kaplan ’s performances?

not on purpose

Any additional comments?

The narrator had a strange cadence to his speech and added emphasis in unusual places. It was distracting.

First book from this offer, great read

this is the first book of this author that I have read. I was engaged throughout and plan to read the next book in the series. I recommend it.

Great Story, Not So Good Narration

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The story as written is a good story and kept my attention.

What other book might you compare One Rough Man to and why?

I would compare this book to ones by Lee Child or Vince Flynn.

How could the performance have been better?

The narration is the biggest reason for the low number of stars. I do not mind two people reading the book but the way this was done interfered with the story itself.
