    About this audiobook

    From #1 New York Times, #1 Wall Street Journal, and #1 Publishers Weekly bestselling author, Brad Thor, comes Blowback.

    Scot Harvath’s counterterrorism career has just crashed and burned—thanks in part to a ruthless senator with her sights set on the White House. But when the war on terror takes a chilling turn, the president has no choice but to secretly bring Harvath back inside. Deep beneath an Alpine glacier, an ancient weapon designed to decimate the Roman Empire has been unearthed—and a shadowy organization intends to use it for America’s downfall. Racing across Europe, Harvath must secure the ultimate instrument of destruction before it brings the United States and the rest of the world to their knees.

      We all know they George is a legend and has narrated more audiobooks than anyone. I have tremendous respect for him. Respectfully, it’s time for him to give up being the main narrator and perhaps take on an accompanying role. He is 86 and it shows in his voice. He sounds like a very old man with a quivering voice and “wet” pronunciations of words beginning with P and B. It becomes distracting and annoying to the extent that I don’t want to finish the book. No different than other narrators who pronounce “asked” with “ast”. We all love and respect George, but it’s time.

      Was an ok book. I’ve enjoyed other Thor books more as they’ve had more action and suspense. This was slower developing and moderated the crescendo I prefer.
    • 5/5

    • 5/5
      Outstanding! Another intriguing novel that made me feel as if I were about to hear the name Mitch Rapp at any moment. Wait, I did hear that name - well done! Of course this narrator proved yet again to do a wonderful job!
