Publisher's summary

After the government’s first choice to design a secret installation is discovered and murdered by foreign agents, the president turns to a lonely widower from Pittsburgh to take her place. Stanley Bigelow’s unusual engineering skills and solitary life make him suitable for the work, but Captain Tyler Brew, the Navy SEAL overseeing the project, worries that the man’s age, weight, and lack of physical fitness will make him vulnerable to his predecessor’s fate. Despite round-the-clock protection by female FBI agent, L.T. Kitt, and a specially trained German shepherd from the witness protection program (Augie), the SEAL’s fears prove warranted. All while a terrorist offensive takes shape.

The Accidental Patriot is a story of citizenship and service; loyalty and love; and how personal transformation happens in unexpected ways.

WONDERFUL

I bought this audiobook some time ago and hadn't listened to it. I did over the past 2 days and thoroughly enjoyed it! A masterful mix of human interest, world events and even politics! I loved it!! Highly recommended.

Good Story. Mediocre Narration.

Enjoyed the story, but the narration was below par. The narrator has a pleasant voice, but he spoke too hurriedly, barely even pausing at the end of sentences. It made for some confusion at times. In addition, when he tried to speak with foreign-accented English, it was laughable, adding nothing to the story. If there are audio versions of other books in this series, I will still listen, but I can’t help but hope for better, more engaging narration.
