Nate doesn’t want to listen. He’s between missions and just wants to relax, not to travel hundreds of miles and hunt for the driver of the car that hit someone he doesn’t even know. But ignoring the call is not an option. What Nate had hoped would be a simple mission turns into something much more sinister, when he discovers a wide-reaching evil, festering in a small Northern California town. To confront it, he will need all the skills he’s learned working in the shadow world.

Publisher's Summary
Mila Voss is dead. That’s what the team hired to terminate her had reported, and that’s how her file had been marked. Dead. Six years now. So why did she suddenly show up on a hotel’s security camera in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania? Those who’d paid for her elimination are more than a little curious.
One person should know what happened—Jonathan Quinn, one of the best cleaners in the business, the man who’d been tasked with the disposal of her body. Only Quinn isn’t exactly easy to get ahold of these days, and he may not be willing to share the answer.

Wow!
Story - The Destroyed is an awesome espionage thriller. It is good from the first sentence, and the suspense and action never let up. There are no dull spots, no filler stuff, just great story from beginning to end. The book is not confusing or hard to follow, but you will need to pay close attention. There are lots of players and it alternates between two timelines that you will have to keep straight. There is violence and killing, but that is not the main thrust of the story.
This is Book 5 of the Jonathan Quinn series, but it's my first. I'm sure I missed out on some background information and history, but this story stands alone perfectly and the ending ties up everything nicely.
Narrator - I know Scott Brick is a favorite of Audible listeneres, and now I can understand why. He does a great job (and has a pretty sexy voice, too), but I withhold my 5's for great jobs done on more difficult performances.
Overall - Get this book. You will not be disppointed.

Another great Johnathon Quinn "cleaner" story
After the the #4 novel in the Johnathan Quinn series I wondered where Brett Battles could go next. Not to worry. Battles has Quinn's sidekick Nate take up the slack until Quinn can recover from his loss of anonymity and get back on the case.
I don't consider #4.1 to be next. Too bad Battles didn't begin the series with that novel "Becoming Quinn."
To my pleasant surprise, Battles brings back Peter and a lot of the story line is flash back to a case that Quinn had hoped would never come up again. As with all the Quinn novels, Battles takes you right up to the last few minutes wondering how Quinn is going to come out on top.
I only gave Scott Brick a 4 for his narration since I feel he failed to create the sense of excitement that these Quinn novels produce. At least they are exciting to me.
I only spend one hour a day listening to Audible books (my only source of audio books) and I find myself really looking forward to listening to the Quinn novels and dreading the "The End" of each one.
If you haven't listened to any of novels in the series, begin with either #4.1 or #1 and try not to rush through them faster than Battles can write them.

Good Spy Stuff
I thoroughly enjoyed Becoming Quinn, the novel that reveals how a rookie cop was recruited to become a professional cleaner. This was a good read with great suspense.
However I've been shying away from the novels centered around nearly super human characters. This book comes dangerously close.
Having said that, anyone who enjoys the Jack Reacher, Gray Man and Mitch Rapp series will love Jonathan Quinn series. You will not be disappointed.

Excellent addition to the Series
If you could sum up The Destroyed in three words, what would they be?
Action, Fast Paced
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Destroyed?
The Ending
What does Scott Brick bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Good job at changing voices with characters. You always know who is talking.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Really enjoyed it. Wanted to know what was going to happen next.
Any additional comments?
I would recommend reading the series in order, but definitely take time to get around to this one. Although The Cleaner, the first in the series, was good...the author's writing gets better as he goes along.

Brett Does it Again!
I'm not sure about the books outside this series but if you haven't followed Quinn's (anchor character) journey in this series (and you like a bit of well intentioned deviousness) then you're missing out. Battles is a master at taking story lines in different directions and crafting the evolution of characters. Mentor and 'student' become equals, but in a realistic (however surprising) way...to say any more would be too much information. Best value for money would be to read the entire series. I have and all were highly entertaining. Its frustrating trying to find well written espionage. They're usually either corny or unbelievable. As usual Scott Brick is perfect as narrator. Often narrators are distracting. Scott is a natural and always adds to the experience. I'm still curious about how an author can make you bond with a character that doesn't lose any sleep over killing. The 'means justifies the ends'? So, if you want to 'get even with the baddies' take a ride with Quinn. By the way: this book is for the ladies too. You won't regret it.

Great read and narration..
Love Jonathan Quinn!!! He’s always cleaning up someone, or killing someone, depends on the day, I guess. This was about Mila Voss, who was supposed to be killed years ago and Quinn was supposed to take care of the body, but it didn’t work out that way. She came back into the public eye and the killing came back into the forefront once again. There were so many twists and turns in this story you really had to keep track of who was doing what to whom.
It’s always such a treat reading about Quinn, Nate, Orlando and Daeng.
No sex and the F-bomb was used 6 times.
As to the narration: Not so good at the female’s voices but since there’s not but a woman or two in any of Jonathan Quinn’s books, it’s okay by me. He does a fantastic job of all the different voices of the men.

Another good story from Brett Battles
This is another good story from Brett Battles, with all the key characters returning, along with a new support from a monk. Also, Peter from the "Office" plays a bigger part in the story.
All in all, a very enjoyable read (listen)
I listen to these stories in my car whist driving and they certainly help the miles to fly by!
