In a world violated by terror, the old lines have blurred. Meet the next generation of covert ops.

John Dempsey's life - as an elite Tier One Navy SEAL named Jack Kemper - is over. A devastating terrorist action catapults him from a world of moral certainty and decisive orders into the shadowy realm of espionage, where ambiguity is the only rule. His new mission: hunt down those responsible for the greatest tragedy in the history of the US Special Ops and bring them to justice.

But how does a man torn between duty and revenge walk the line and preserve his soul?

As Dempsey struggles with the games of spies, the case propels him across the globe in a desperate effort to prevent a new, horrifying attack on American soil.

Once, John Dempsey followed orders blindly. Now he sees behind the curtain, and the security of the civilized world rests on one question: Can a Tier One Navy SEAL adapt and become the world's most lethal spy?

Tier One is blacker than the CIA, blacker than Seal Team 6, Blacker than any other SpecOps groups. After the predictable beginning, you know, the loss of his entire Tier One team, Jack is given the opportunity to seek out those responsible. He is invited to join an even blacker group, but can this new team create cohesion? Can they trust each other to have their six? Will Jack be able to fit in and remain in the group, or will his hot-headedness and sense of right mean his being let go? Can he trust his own handlers?

Even while this new team is delving into the past, and forging present relationships, current and future events take the team into new terrorist plots which they must unravel and take down before they can unfold.

The story is chock-full of bad guys, surprises, plotting and counter plotting, turn-arounds, and very hard decisions. There are sad deaths to mourn, enemies to hate, and motives to question. And in the midst of this seriousness, there are even some very human chuckles.

The characters are well-rounded, conversations believable, actions and responses credible. The writing is up there at the top of the game--it can join the best authors. And then with the impeccable Ray Porter narrating, you have a treat for your ears and mind.

Definitely authors to keep track of, (Brian Andrews is the author of the Nick Foley series under the name Alex Ryan) and looks to be the start of a great new series.

better than many in the genre!

I enjoyed the book and it's characters.Ray Porter gave his usual outstanding performance. Look forward to the next in the series.

Well Done!

The story lines may be from Operational Commanders' fantasy life and dreams but scenes & dialogue could have come only from those who had actually 'been in the area'. The authors had me deep enough into the story that they had referred to the TOC so naturally that I didn't realize they hadn't defined it at first. (TOCs differ by agency and purpose -- but these authors "know whereof they speak") It' s fun and well done ... deserves a BZ.

Would you consider the audio edition of Tier One to be better than the print version?

Haven't read the print edition. Doubt it though.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Great character development. Twists and turns, yet kept on point and re-developed to finish the story. Fast paced, can't wait for the next one.

What does Ray Porter bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Not a "perfect" narrator but VERY good. Kept the characters separate and believable.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Hold on to your ass!

Any additional comments?

Looking forward to more from this Author and Narrator - good stuff - some cliche stuff but not enough to slow the pace.

Loved it front to back.

this is the second time I've listened to this and it's even better the second time around! I was able to absorb details that I hadn't the first time pure adrenaline!

Even better the second time around
