Treason

A Novel

De: Rick Campbell

Narrado por: Michael Kramer

In Rick Campbell’s newest thriller, a military coup in Russia leads to a swift invasion of former Soviet territories—while the U.S. has been rendered powerless to respond.

In Russia, the military is anxious to assert its military strength and regain its role as a superpower. The Russian President refuses to greenlight a bold plan to disable American strategic nuclear capability and retake Ukraine and the Baltic States, fearing the potential consequences of involving nuclear weapons. But the generals won't have it and at the first opportunity, they overthrow the president in a military coup. Then they use a narrow window to initiate their bold plan—the Zolotov option—which will render all of America's B2 bombers and ballistic missiles useless. With the U.S. off the board, they swiftly invade Ukraine with an overwhelming force, an invading Army that even NATO can't hope to resist.

Now, it's game on. Without their primary weapons, the U.S. has to find a way to fight back on multiple fronts. If they're to have any chance, they'll have to overcome the malware that has grounded their ballistic missiles and planes, as well as secretly land a SEAL team to help rescue the imprisoned Russian President, and help retake control from the forces that are driving Europe into a continental war.

Rick Campbell, one of the finest young military thriller writers, returns with his biggest and boldest audiobook to date.

OUTSTANDING!!!!

Can’t wait for the next book in the series. Writing is top notch, you cheer for the characters, the plot is suspenseful. I recommend 1000%!!!!

Worst in series

This book seemed a bit dumbed down compared to the first four. I didn’t enjoy it as much because of this. I enjoyed the deeper tactical jargon from the previous books.

Excellent

All together it was an excellent continuation of the series. I hope more follows soon.

I started with this one.

I started with this book I knew it was a part of a series but I started here anyway. After I read it I didn't feel like I missed any part of the story. I have now gone back and bought and listened to all of them.

You can start anywhere in this series and not feel you missed out on something. Of course listening to them in order you see the development of each character. Rick has no real "hero" in this series it is based around the Sub, POUTS, NSA and a Seal Team. Which gives this series a different feel/read to it from all other thriller!

The Trident Deception Series

Plot: The Trident Deception Series consists of several full-length novels in the military genrè. A retired Navy author provides page-turning excitement of near-miss disasters in American conflicts, primarily with Russia. Suggest starting at the beginning of the series, as several characters - like the President, Chief of Staff, a navy seal, and a strong female lead traverse all novels written to date - will be more.

Liked: If you are a fan of The Hunt for Red October by Tom Clancy - you'll love The Trident Deception Series. All are nail-biting, page-turning stories. Some graphic violence; if you're a victim of wartime PTSD, these might not be for you. Clean reads, no sex, no objectionable language. Learned a bit about submarine tactics.

Not so hot: Audio speed is a bit slow for my taste; I bumped the rate to 1.4 on the iPhone.

Written by Rick Campbell, and narration is fine; there are several, each book in the area of 10-15 hours of listening in audiobook format, released from March 2014 to date by Blackstone Audio.

Recommended.
