Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

Publisher's Summary
There is evidence in the news almost every day: territorial disputes in the South China Sea, China's ongoing military buildup, cyber-attacks on the US government. It's this century's cold war...until it turns hot.
A CIA operative in Shanghai sends a message to Langley, and then goes missing. An inner-circle of Chinese government officials has set in motion plans to do the unthinkable - to invade the United States of America.
Lena Chou is one of the few US officials who knows the truth. Now, in order to covertly plan the US defense, Lena must put together a Red Cell, a group of experts who will plan how China could best attack it.
David Manning is one of those experts. But as the group creates a blueprint for war with China, he suspects that not every person among them is planning for America to win....

Asleep at the wheel
The characters in this book are the smartest, and brightest national security persons in the USA, but their powers of observation don't detect that they are surrounded by Chineese nationals. Imagine that, and it takes 2 chapters for someone to notice. The serniero is not very plausible, some of the solutions to problems remind me of the way college freshmen solved national defense problems dealing with problems in the 1960's. And sadly the theories in this book are about 56 years outdated...some interesting moments, but too few and none were revalations.
If you are just looking to burn off about 12 hrs listening time because you cannot find anything else here is a book.
Now the reader can make an interesting Australian accent in both a ship captain and pawn shop owner.

Ludicrous plot
Several Americian contractors find themselves taken away from their families in the middle of the night, flown to an island to work on a "CIA" secret project. They are so stupid they don't realise the danger they are in until too late. Several are also recruits for Chinese nationalist with no true values other than money. Unbelievable to think American people could be so gullible to fall so willing to give away their own country. Several concepts and programs are likely available in today's world.

Kept me on the edge of my seat
I listened to this novel while I was traveling through China. It was frightening to put in perspective how easy this could happen. The author has woven a tale of twists and turns that kept me guessing until the very end. If I had one wish it would be that I want to read what will happen next. I hope a sequel is available soon! The narrator was excellent at conveying suspense, intrigue and establishing character identity. His narration heightened the story and made me reluctant to put it down! I will search out other books he has done.

So Much Possibility, But Faltered on Delivery
Interesting premise for the plot. Decent character development but a bit shallow. The ending seemed rushed and of course incomplete. Like a TV show ending the season with a cliff hanger. While it might seem like a good move getting the reader or listener to grab the next book in the series, it also can frustrate the reader/listener, which was my response. In the end the book is ok. It isn't one I would recommend to friends.
