After surviving a clandestine operation that went tragically wrong, Matt Drake escaped Syria with his life, but little else. Now, to save the life of another, he must return to Syria and confront his biggest failure in a stunning thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of Tom Clancy Target Acquired and Hostile Intent.

Defense Intelligence Agency operative Matt Drake broke a promise. A promise that cost three people their lives and crippled his best friend. Three months later, he's paralyzed by survivor's guilt and haunted by the memories of the fallen. Matt may have left Syria, but Syria hasn't left him.

In the midst of his self-imposed exile, Matt is dragged back into the world of espionage and assets that he tried to forget. A Pakistani scientist working for an ISIS splinter cell has created a terrifying weapon of mass destruction. The scientist offers to defect with the weapon, but he trusts just one man to bring him out of Syria alive—Matt Drake.

It’s a suicide mission—one man against an army of terrorists. Still, with stakes this high, Matt has no choice but to try. He’s going in on high alert, but he’s blind to his greatest vulnerability. His most dangerous enemy is closer to home—not on the battlefield, but in the Oval Office.

Good, engaging storytelling but not a huge fan of the narration, especially for this genre. A bit overdramatic and a general lack of distinct voices unless they were with a foreign accent. At times, it was hard to tell who was speaking. Would love to hear what Porter or RC would do with this.

Great story, mediocre narration

A little slow in the beginning but picked up and until the end. Excellent listening. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

A truly outstanding story read by a truly outstanding narrator. This was my first Don Bentley book and it did not disappoint in any way.

Outdtanding

All the main characters suffer from trauma-induced anxiety; they are overly dramatic and overreact to every situation. This guy is the Evel Knievel of Spy novels. Broken ankle, wrist, concussion, a gunshot wound, and still manages to steal a tractor. This book won’t blow you away, but it’s still good to pass the time. He never saves anyone; they tend to die just before he can save them. The book almost becomes a top-tier spy novel, just like the main character's attempts to be the hero.

Everyone is sad
