Imprisoned in Nicaragua, an NFL star must escape to the United States to warn the government of an impending terrorist attack - before the sinister forces of the international intelligence community silence him forever.

Jamie Skylar is not a political man. His life has always been about football, and that single-minded dedication was justified when, after he finished setting school rushing records at Brown, the New York Giants gave him a lucrative contract to join their crew of bruisers. But more important to him than football is his sister, and she needs him now.

An American undercover operative masquerading as a journalist in Central America, Beth has just learned of the Nicaraguan army’s plans for an attack inside the United States, codenamed Operation Thunder Clap. She invites her brother to visit her, intending to have him smuggle out the government’s sinister plans. But when she is murdered and Jamie is imprisoned, the running back will need all his strength to escape and warn the United States.

The only problem was chapter 6. There were repeated sentences, some heavy breaths, Long unexplained pauses and even a burp at 9 minutes and 20 seconds!

Exciting story

I appreciate this is a free book but if I was the author, I would be angry. There is literally no editing at all, do you hear the narrator repeat the same lines over and over and at some point, the narrator stops to burp mid narration. The burp occurs during chapter 5

I am a huge fan of Jon Lands work and this story did not disappoint. A little over and hour in the narration goes pear-shaped for a whole chapter. It sounds as if it is the raw tape from the reading without any editing. Full of repeated sentences, half spoken dialog, burping and clearing of his throat. But just for that chapter (and a minor bit here and there during the rest of the book) and it was weird. I found it amusing others might find it unlistenable. If you can bear that one mistake than the rest of the book was fun to read.

Great story by Land. Odd production narrator's reading.

Several sections of the reading where the listener had to listen to the reader redo a passage until he was happy with how it sounded. Someone needs to quality control chapter 6 especially.

It’s interesting to hear the actor try some of the lines 3 or 4 times. I even heard him take a drink and at least one time he belched and then read the line again. Wow! Production values?

Good plot, but the poorly edited audio was laughable.
