Publisher's summary

When collegiate baseball phenom Chase Fulton suffers a freak injury on the field that shatters his dreams of becoming a Major League catcher, his future looks bleak until he’s recruited into quasi-governmental covert operations, where his training as an assassin and covert intelligence operative launches him into a world fraught with danger, intrigue, and unexpected passion.

As Chase navigates the Caribbean, he’s pursued by a beautiful Russian SVR officer who is trained and prepared to find, interrogate, and kill him if necessary. He learns exactly how deadly the realm of international espionage can be when duty and love collide.

Terrible book but good narration..


DNF at 64% (page 208 of 326) (3 hours and 30 minutes left of the audio)

Okay, Chase was kind of lame from the very beginning, but I kept going, hoping the book would get better. It didn’t! He saw a sniper on a water tower, and it was a woman and he fell in love and didn’t tell anyone that he’d gotten a good look at her. Now, this guy was a newly trained assassin and thought it was a good idea to lie to his handler, hoping that someday he’d meet this chick? Of course, he did meet her, the night she broke into his yacht and nearly cut his tongue in half while questioning him. (And of course, they were kissing the next day.) Who are you kidding? Dutch, his handler got there in time and after chasing Anya off he proceeded to sew up Chase’s tongue. Really?

This book could have been much better if the author would have left the silly romance out. Don’t get me wrong I read a lot of romances but that much romance doesn’t belong in a book about assassins.
And, since his love-interest is in the next book too I won’t give that one a try, hoping it would have better than this one.

No actual sex and the F-bomb was used 9 times.

As to the narration: Kyle Tait did a great job on the voices and emotions but even he couldn’t help the poor story-line.

Can’t wait for book two!

This was a tremendous start to a new series. Cap Daniels brings such realism and life to his characters, and the narration was a perfect match for how Chase sounded in my head. Really looking forward to the next installment! Highly recommended listen.

Just Right!

The character development is superb - no wondering who, why, or how.
The plot is believable, the narration is perfection, and the characters are enjoyable, interesting as well as their motivations being believable This is a straight-up, well-written, well performed action story. The main character has the right balance of accomplished talents and humility.
I'm ordering the next installment of the series!

Narrator was fantastic

Narrator was great. The first part of the book was good but I didn't realize it was more of a love story than an action book.

More please!

OMGosh, this book, even in its predictability, was awesome!!!!! I loved every single minute of it.

The opening sequence is so well-written and completely immersive into character psyche that when it shifted gears, I just knew I was in for a great ride. Loved it, loved it, loved it!!

Spies and covert operations and assassins and espionage were front and center. The storyline was not overly complex and it kept my attention until the very satisfying (for some) ending.

The narration was fun. Tait voiced Chase, a strapping twentysomething male, and Anya, a Russian SVR agent with very distinct voices and characteristics. There were a series of additional Russian bad guys and Tait's Russian was flawless!!!!!

I've already downloaded the next book in the series!

The Real Deal

Wow! I picked the right author, narrator, and book for my first ever audiobook to enjoy. And enjoy is the right word because listening to The Opening Chase was an absolute pleasure. What a cool experience! Kyle was “dead on” with his interpretation of the characters. But Cap Daniels gave him great material: “I know how to fly planes, trim sails, and kill people.” Chase’s character goes waaay beyond interesting! Great pace, twists, characters, and plot. What more could you want?

Birth of an American 007

This book had everything for me. Shooting, action, adventure, a little making whopper and of course, Baseball.

Such a great adventure as we meet a man who after being broken down, builds back up to be more than he ever imagined. From someone who had his whole life thought and planned out to someone who has to fight to ensure he is alive tomorrow. The story was engaging, the details many (and accurate as far as tech info etc) and the whole adventure one that kept my earbuds glued in my ears!

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
