Publisher's summary

From USA Today best-selling author Andrew Watts and Dale M. Nelson.

As superpowers race to control the world’s most powerful technology, Chinese and American intelligence officers play a daring game of spy versus spy.

Genius tech CEO Jeff Kim has just discovered that the ultrawealthy Hawkinson family stole his advanced AI prediction technology. This technology was his secret possession. A cornerstone in which he would rebuild his life’s work. But now he has serious competition. To solve his problem, Kim decides to reach out to a man he never thought he would speak to again. A Chinese intelligence officer named Liu.

Liu, a seasoned and capable MSS officer stationed in the US, is in charge of many of China’s most important economic espionage operations. And pressure from Beijing has been intense of late.

Chinese tech-industry advancements in AI are not progressing fast enough to stop an unprecedented economic collapse. As fears of an angry citizen revolt grow, Chinese leadership has ordered the MSS to gain the code to the new American AI prediction technology by any means necessary.

When Liu investigates the Hawkinsons' operation, he discovers some shocking revelations. The Americans have placed a spy in the Hawkinsons' inner circle. As a series of seemingly unrelated incidents come together in Liu’s mind, he develops one of the most ambitious espionage operations the MSS has ever undertaken.

For it to work, he will have to activate China’s own mole. The crown jewel of Chinese intelligence. A sleeper agent placed so high up in the US government, they will have access to all of America’s most classified information.

But CIA officers Colt McShane and Fred Ford have caught wind of China’s plan. And now they must find the sleeper agent before their own is identified and killed.

Which spy will be caught first?

Narrator

It was a pretty good story for most of the book. The last 20% either was written sloppy or mis-read. Calling characters by the wrong names. Saying they said things they hadn't. Also became a little disjoined and confusing.

Good Book, Odd Ending

Another well paced entry for the series. Very engaging characters and good action sequences keep you coming back. The ending gets a little ridiculous in the name of setting up future books and takes the storytelling back a step. Otherwise good read for fans of the series.

Very disappointing ending

After thoroughly enjoying the prior 2 books in this series, I was looking forward to this one and enjoyed it up until the ending , which I thought was terribly disappointing and a blatantly obvious effort to try to convince me to buy! the next book in the series...which I may not do.

Excellent addition to the series!

It seems like it was just yesterday when I finished reading Agent of Influence, the second installment in the Firewall series. but here it is eight months later, and I’ve just finished A Future Spy, the third installment in the Firewall series. I think I can say without hesitation this is my favorite installment in this series so far, the characters are really beginning to show their true colors making the scenes unfold in very unexpected ways. Colt and Ford make for an interesting team “lead” by Thorne who is finally finding less of the rules and more of get the job done. But the true star of this episode is Nadia. The authors have included a few elements that were sad to see, but in one case so transparent anyone except a lovesick sailor could see it from a mile away, and it made me wonder how many times it happens in real life. If you are new to the Firewall series this isn’t a book to pick up and start without reading the previous books, sure you could do it but there is so much back story missing that you wouldn’t get to know each of the characters as well as the underlying story behind why they are pursuing the Hawkins organization. So do yourself a favor if you are new to this series, start at book one and settle in for one heck of an action-packed ride.

The Firewall series has been one of my favorite series from Andrew Watts, and after listening to Michael Wolfe narrate this episode, I’m further convinced about this being my favorite series from Mr. Watts. Michael does an excellent job bringing Colt and Ford to life by giving each the distinct personality that is felt as you read the stories. Of course, he does an excellent job building the suspense that is inherent in this story and sets the listener on a course that feels like they are right there with each character involved in the action. Thanks to Severn River Publishing for providing me with an audiobook review copy of A Future Spy.
