Story4.5 out of 5 stars 771
It is April 1943, and Marine aviator Cletus Frade, Army demolition's wizard Anthony Pelosi, and communications expert David Ettinger are thrust again into the lethal nest of intrigue that is wartime Buenos Aires. A clandestine German vessel sets sail to resupply submarines in the South Atlantic...as a massive shipment of money earmarked for postwar Reich makes its way to South America...and a coup designed to topple the government reaches critical mass. In the midst of it all, the German-ordered assassination of Cletus Frade's father demands only one response: revenge.

My favorite author. W E B has had my vote since I was young. I listen too these series as I travel and have listened to them multiple times. This must have been one of Michael's first readings and I find it unbelievable the production staff ever allowed this to be recorded. PLEASE redo this one. I have heard Michael since and he does well.

W.E.B. Griffin's best-selling series, The Corps and Brotherhood of War, have captured the pride and glory of the military community. Now he reveals a city police force with the same unique blend of realism, drama, and action. Here are the brave men and women behind the badge as you've never seen them before - their hopes and fears, their courage and heroism, sparked by a single, shocking event: The killing of a cop in the line of duty.

Love the authors, hate the reader.

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Not really. The new reader ruined the experience
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Rene Auberjonois?
Scott Brick. The narrator of earlier books in this series. I see the condescending face of the guy from Benson every time he talks.
Could you see The Wheel of Darkness being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
Do not know

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 775
James Cronley thought he had done well - he didn't know he’d done this well. His first successful mission for the about-to-be-official new Central Intelligence Directorate has drawn all kinds of attention, some welcome, some not. On the plus side, he's now a captain; promoted to Chief, DCI, Europe; and in charge of a top secret spy operation. On the minus side, a lot of people would like to know about that operation, including not only the Soviets, but his own Pentagon, as well as a seething J. Edgar Hoover.

I was running the series. Love the author, really did not like the reader

The continuing story
How did the narrator detract from the book?
I listen to these books because I really like the author and his style of writing. The narrator was rough and did not pronounce the foreign word well. This detracted from the story

Yes, hoping it will have one.

Off the coast of southern Florida, a deadly war is being waged that threatens our national security. Thousands of kilos of illicit drugs are dumped on our shores annually. But "business as usual" takes a quite different turn when Sandra Geffar and Ian Hardcastle (heads of the U.S. Customs Department and the Coast Guard respectively) put their departmental and personal squabbles behind them and team up in a daring plan to put an end to airborne smuggling.

Would you try another book from Dale Brown and/or Joseph Campanella?
I love Dale Brown, in a full book. Abridged leaves something to be desired. The reader is terrible. I know 8 year olds who could do a better job.
If you’ve listened to books by Dale Brown before, how does this one compare?
It was not his best
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Joseph Campanella?
Scott Brick, Dick Hill
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
It was too painful to listen to the whole thing.

What disappointed you about Night of the Hawk?
I should know better to buy abridged readings of books I have read. They cut most of the story and it leaves it empty.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
Same as when I read it.
Would you be willing to try another one of Joseph Campanella’s performances?
No, It was pathetic

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 5,412
A movie director is charged with murdering an actress during sex, and then staging her death to make it look like a suicide. In a seemingly unrelated case, a loner is murdered, leaving the sheriff's department with no clues. One unsettling revelation after another leaves a retired FBI agent and an L.A. detective thinking they've unmasked a most frightening killer with almost inconceivable calculation.
