The Weavers of Meanchey

The Unit 1 Series, Book 2

By: Allen Kent

Narrated by: Paul J McSorley

A 45-year-old letter reveals a threat that is still very much alive.

When a letter to a CIA operative suddenly shows up 45 years after the contact who sent it disappeared in Southeast Asia, Unit 1 agent Adam Zak is assigned to investigate a group of Chinese children who the missing informant had discovered in a remote village in Cambodia, receiving an American education.

An adventure that spans from the jungles of Cambodia to the notorious streets of Bangkok.

Zak's search to determine who the children were and why they might present a security risk to the United States takes him into the heart of Bangkok's notorious red light district, through the jungle temples of Cambodia's Angkor Wat, and into the volatile secret world of computer network security.

Who were the children the villagers called "Weavers", and why does the economic future of the United States depend on unraveling their web of secrecy?

Wonderful story

Loved the story and characters.

Crisp description bringing clear sense of places and people.

A Sleeper Cell

Although it took some time for me to become invested in this story, I was glad that I stayed with it until the end as it became better after the initial set-up. I liked that the story traveled to several places like Cambodia and Bangkok. I was entertained by Unit 1 Agent Adam Zak's intelligence and ability to think on his feet. I was intrigued by the machinations of the different federal agencies and the intricacies of cyber security. I thought Paul J McSorley's narration was fine, although at times his performance was a little mechanical especially during the informational narrative portions.
