Robert Ludlum's (TM) The Janson Command

By: Paul Garrison

Narrated by: Scott Shepherd

Paul Janson, a character first featured in Robert Ludlum's bestselling novel The Janson Directive, has a new goal: save the world, one operative, one mission, one redemption at a time.

Reformed from his days of covert-operations, Paul Janson has set a new mission for himself. Working in partnership with champion sharpshooter Jessica Kincaid, he rehabilitates disenchanted agents and helps them create new lives outside of the violent intelligence sector. These former operatives then form a network of support for Janson when it comes to his other job--Janson also takes on independent assignments. For a fee, he'll use his skills to resolve international crises. But only those actions that he believes contribute to the greater good of all.

Whether he's rescuing an American doctor from Somalian pirates, attacking militant thugs intent on murdering a West African public servant agitating for human rights, or hunting the money-lenders who capitalize on barbaric civil war, Janson stays honest with three simple rules: 1) No torture. 2) No civilian casualties. 3) No killing anyone who doesn't try to kill them. Yet with his commitment to doing what is right--while facing canny intelligence operatives, ruthless warlords, deep sea marauders, or brutal dictators--Janson finds that his most difficult task is figuring out if he's fighting for the good side.

Loved this book. the 2nd in the series I have listened to on audible.. didn't end the way I thought but accept it's end. the narrator is excellent and hope he narrates the next in the series. if you like spy stories you will love this one.

The many factions operating with own agenda

Relationships the dynamics between the individuals involved in the story. How many people are involved with/or without their knowledge.

A "Ludlum Like" Classic!

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

Paul did an excellent job! Can't wait for the next one. Each time a book is written about a Ludlum character I order it and save it for a special occasion, because as usual I can't put it down. The Janson Command was no exception. If you like Robert Ludlum characters and writing style this novel is a must read or listen.

Any additional comments?

Paul you need to write more espionage. This was an outstanding novel. I couldn't find any more on audible.

Couldn't have read it fast enough

Getting to read about Paul Janson again, after so many years, was just exhilarating. Garrison did an outstanding job writing this novel, and I eagerly look forward to getting to read more about Janson in the future. I recommend this book to any old Ludlum fans, it is a great read.
