Better Brad Thor listen
With failing eye sight, the audio is the answer and this book is an easy, pleasurable entertainment. Enjoyed the narration, the pace and better continuity than some of his work. Plot is entertaining while unrealistic . . . but then this is fiction. No regret about downloading this one!

The First Commandment - wow... WOW
Any additional comments?
Brad Thor has taken his creative writing craft to a new level. He certainly stands out with the likes of Vince Flynn and David Baldacci for creating an edge of the chair novel that is guaranteed to grab you and never let you go. George Guidall provides a terrific narration. I have enjoyed all of Brad Thor's novels to date, but First Commandment is definitely a stand out.

Good Story Line
If you could sum up The First Commandment in three words, what would they be?
Entertaining; satisfaction;
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
Seemed like everybody was out to stop Scot, and the way he was able to continue to move about to complete his personal mission without support from the person who owed his life to
Which scene was your favorite?
When the off duty cop acted on a hunch and stopped the bombing of the bar
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Knowing that our government acts pretty much the way the book laid it out if they want you out of the way
Any additional comments?
Needs to focus on the garbage happening within the current administration as there's plenty of storylines he can continue the series with

Would you consider the audio edition of The First Commandment to be better than the print version?
Big fan of Brad Thor. This book no different than the others. Fast moving, good story, great naration.
Have you listened to any of George Guidall’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Yes. Another great job.

Great action
This book is non-stop action with a good plot. Vince Flynn readers will enjoy it. A rogue agent trying to take out the bad guys anyway he can. How can you beat that?

Standard fair, good brain candy
Where does The First Commandment rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Its just a good fun time. It isn't serious literature, but a good spy novel.
What does George Guidall bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Seriously, George Guidall could read the phone book and I would listen to it. The guys voice is gold!

Great Book!
The books just keep getting better and better. Once I start in on one, I can't put it down and it until it's completed. It seems that each new book is in direct relation to what is happening in our world affairs now.
