Sledgehammer

A Short Story

De: Brian Andrews, Jeffrey Wilson

Narrado por: Stephen Lang

From New York Times bestselling authors Andrews & Wilson, Sledgehammer is a blistering, high-stakes thriller about redemption, sacrifice, and how far one man will go for family.

Mack Holland might as well have the word “former” tattooed across his chest. He’s a former Green Beret. A former CIA Ground Branch Team Leader. A former husband. A former father.

At least his dog, Blue, still appreciates him.

But when a black SUV with government plates crunches down the gravel driveway of his remote backwoods home, Mack’s quiet, post-operator life is shattered. The G-man who steps out brings news Mack never expected to hear: his daughter Lindsey, officially dead and buried for five years, is alive. And she’s being held hostage in Syria.

With his frozen heart suddenly ablaze with hope, Mack reassembles his old Counter Terrorism team from Ground Branch. The mission is nearly impossible but so is stopping a father on a rescue. As the team plunges into enemy territory, Mack’s resolve—and his aging body—are pushed to the limit. Because bringing his daughter home will cost far more than he ever imagined.

Outstanding

Great special ops short thriller, follows author's longer titles, but retains the quality he is known for.

Great story

Well written story with new characters. Really enjoyed the listen. Also appreciate how well the narrator performed.

Another Winner

The second short story I fully enjoyed. I’m 70 and that alone pulled me in on the intrigue. Keep up the good work gentlemen.

Andrew’s & Wilson

Any book by these gentlemen are excellent. Worth the investment and the time although, I must admit I like their longer books the most and Ray Porter as the narrator!

A short story that pack a lot of bang

From start to finish this was absolutely a 10 out of 5 . . . .really. So well written. From the adorable Violet. To the battle hardened Mac “The Hammer.” I right away thought of Billy Waugh. Billy was an American hero who was battling terrorist at age 70. The supporting characters were outstanding. The narrator …. Wow. Many audible books have a cast of readers but it takes a special person to narrate and make you forget that ONE person is reading all the parts. Stephen Lang did a beautiful job. Let’s not forget the story. Interesting, exciting and entertaining from beginning to end. I was expecting for someone to not make it to the end. I have come to expect that from Andrew’s and Wilson hahaha. As expected another great story. Well, well done!!
