Summary

NAME: Patrick Coonan
CODENAME: Delta
OPERATION: Red Mushroom
ANNOTATIONS: A breakdown in the strategic balance during the last decade of the Cold War prompts the Kremlin into launching an elaborate plan to insert a "dirty bomb" in the island of Manhattan, and blow it off the face of the Earth in in the event of nuclear war. Marlon Berkowitz, a retired special forces colonel, is selected by the U.S. State Department of Defense to shape and lead The Quadrille, a shadow-network of expendable undercover operatives tasked with the elimination of all Soviet nuclear saboteurs operating on U.S. soil. The colonel's first recruit is a man he is most familiar with; Sgt Major Patrick Coonan, a young U.S. Ranger sniper who no many kill missions he is given, always comes back for more.
A SOBERING FAST-PACED THRILLER IN THE STYLE OF IAN FLEMING'S 007, AND DONALD HAMILTON'S MATT HELM.

There is a need for a new narrator…

I received this audiobook for free in exchange for an honest review.

I must say that the narrator, Dustin Konrad, did not do this story any justice. The story didn’t fail because of him, but his lack of English (or American), didn’t help. Words like “Greenwich” or “Quay” were beyond him and detracted from the telling. Also, his delivery was slow, plodding even.

The story of itself was good, but not great. I can see why it was aligned with Le Carré, it has the same pace and the same diversity in characters but, because it is a short story, the characters all seem squashed together to quickly play their part so that they could be dispatched to make room for the next character. Therefore, in parts, the story seemed rushed and unfinished.

This was episode one of a much bigger story. It shows promise and I shall look out for subsequent episodes, but I would hesitate to purchase it if the same narrator is used.
