The Shadow Contract

The Colin Pearce Series, Book 4

De: Chris Broyhill

Narrado por: Rob Reider

For the last year, an elusive assassin, code-named The Shadow, has evaded counter-intelligence and law enforcement agencies around the world.

During that time, 50 people have been killed with long-range, precisely-placed shots taken from the assassin’s .50 caliber rifle. The CIA knows the assassin is using a private jet to travel between targets, so Pearce’s handlers call on his unique talents to help them get close to the killer. They send him to Paris as a contract crew member on a Dassault Falcon 7X, and Pearce comes face to face with the deadly assassin in a guise he never sees coming.

From a posh martini bar in London to the playground of the rich and famous in Saint Moritz, Switzerland, to the streets of Edinburgh, Scotland, and the shores of Lake Tahoe, California, Pearce is caught up in a rapidly moving adventure that puts him into the cockpits of several aircraft and forces him to confront a ruthless killer who plays upon Pearce’s own inner demons. Along the way, Pearce will have to deal with the carnage he creates with his own hands and the death that seems to occur around him. And he’ll be forced to decide if he can live with the consequences of it all. If he stays alive that long.

Outstanding & Action Packed!

If there had been any more twists and turns, I would have become a pretzel! The story continues to turn all the way to the end. Loved the aviation sections, but I'm really into that. Chris Broyhill has a great main character who is very multifaceted and totally believable. He's at home in the cockpit, AND behind the rifle sight.
Having not read the previous books, I'm always concerned that I'm missing something. This book stood very well on its own. There was a couple of references to the previous stories late in the book, but they didn't affect the story's development. Can't wait to listen to the next one.

Rob's voice characterizations were great and helpful. As I always do to be transparent, Rob Reider is a very good friend of mine. I was concerned that the first time I listened it would distract me, but that simply wasn't the case. Whether you've heard him before or not, you'll enjoy listening.
