Story
When Ensign Deke Mallory is deployed to the Mediterranean at a crucial Cold War juncture, the fledgling Navy fighter pilot falls for a winsome Spanish girl - and under the spell of a rogue Navy Ace whose mutinous plan to flame their MiG tormentors violates the president's peace initiative. But the real threat to peace is lurking off-stage, in Bosnia-Herzegovina, where a ex-Nazi SS unit has gone to ground with an insidious ruse guaranteed to trigger the superpowers' "mutually assured destruction".

Good story - horrible narrator
Reviewed: 02-05-07
As far as I can tell, this story is great, BUT listening to the narrator is almost painful. He reads with almost a flat monotone, when it's not a monotone, the words or syllables are accented wrong. No differentiation between characters, terrible phrasing, dialogs between characters are extremely difficult to figure out, the sentences just run right into each other, with barely a breath. And when he DOES take a breath, it noticable, and there's even occassional "lip smacking".
Take some advice, and DO NOT download this book. What really upsets me, is I bought all 3 books and they are ALL narratored by the same guy.
I have over 200 audible books, and this is my first disappointment.
