Termination Orders

By: Leo J. Maloney

Narrated by: John Pruden

In the tradition of bestsellers by Robert Ludlum and Vince Flynn, Termination Orders introduces Dan Morgan, a retired black-ops agent who must return to duty to thwart a deadly international conspiracy.

Once a trained killer for the CIA, Dan Morgan has built a new life for himself. But when he receives a desperate plea from his former black-ops partner - reportedly killed in a foreign battle zone - he flies in to help. It should be a routine mission, extracting a human asset from the region, but it’s not - it’s an ambush. Now Morgan is running for his life, with crucial evidence in his possession. With his contacts dead and his family in danger, Morgan must take on a full-scale conspiracy in the highest echelons of a vast global network that plays by its own rules.

Leo J. Maloney spent over thirty-five years in black ops, accepting highly secretive missions that would put him in the most dangerous hot spots in the world. Since leaving that career, he has had the opportunity to try his hand at acting in independent films and television commercials. He has ten movies to his credit, both as an actor and behind the camera as a producer, technical advisor, and assistant director.

“For fans of spy thrillers seeking a bit of realism mixed into their novels, Termination Orders will prove to be an excellent and recommended pick.”( Midwest Book Reviews)

loved it!!

This book was great. I loved it. I will definitely be listening to the rest of the series.

A solid action story

I was pleasantly surprised. Fast pace action so I’m pretty much engaged in the story and action. I found a new series to exercise to.

Interesting series

The story is pretty good, it moves along at a pretty good pace. we'll see what the next book has to offer.

Great series

Just wish they would get the rest of them can't wait for more and they are out just not on Audible yet it's taking way to long

Worth the read

It took me a minute to get into the book, but found it entertaining, thought-provoking, and worth the read.

Could be happening now!

Book contained an interesting story which very easily could be happening now. Our government is not using the interest of the public to govern but using special interests to make many of the decisions. Leaders are deciding how to buy votes and secure money from special interests instead of leaving and governing for the people.

Should know more about the military

In the book Morgan flashes back to joining the Army and getting recruited by the CIA.
1. The Army has Drill Sergeants not Drill Instructors.
2. Drill Sergeants are not allowed to hit or touch recruits, let alone make them lick spit off a sidewalk.
3. Drill Sergeants are called Drill Sergeant not Sir or Officer.

Great

Well written - well performed - this audio book was much better than many of the more recent books that I have listened to recently

Black ops assassins and CIA traitor story

Fairly standard espionage with CIA traitor and corrupt politician scenario. Not very original from that standpoint.

Good but predictable.

well written.
good narration.
enjoyable characters
the only reason I took off a star because the "twist" at the end was predictable. Not that it was bad but you can see it a mile a way. As the character was introduced I knew where it was headed. (This could be that I just listen listen and read a lot of spy thrillers) Still very much worth listening to and because the characters are enjoyable I'll continue with the series.
