About this listen
USA Today best-selling author Ward Larsen's globe-trotting, hard-hitting assassin, David Slaton, returns for another breathless adventure!
In a Syrian palace, the presidents of Russia and Iran undertake a clandestine meeting. No staff or advisors are permitted in the room. No records are kept. By necessity, however, there are two witnesses: the interpreters. The Russian, Ludmilla Kravchuk, returns to her hotel room burdened by what she has heard. When her Iranian counterpart is murdered before her eyes, Kravchuk fears she is next and goes into hiding in Syria.
The CIA gets word of the defection. Desperate to uncover the purpose of the meeting, they task their newest off-the-books operator - legendary assassin David Slaton - to undertake a daring rescue. Deep inside Syria’s war-torn borders, what Slaton finds is a plot that will tear the Middle East apart. And one that only he can stop.

Trey DeBolt is a young man at the crest of life. His role as a Coast Guard rescue swimmer in Alaska offers him a rewarding job and limitless adventure. Then a tragic accident alters his life: during a harrowing rescue, his helicopter goes down. Severely injured, DeBolt awakens in a seaside cabin in Maine, thousands of miles from where the accident occurred. His lone nurse lets slip that he has been officially declared dead, lost in the crash. Back in Alaska, however, Coast Guard investigator Shannon Lund uncovers evidence that DeBolt might still be alive. Her search quickly becomes personal, but before she can intervene, chaos erupts.

Ryan Drake is a man who finds people who don't want to be found. Once a British soldier, he now works for the CIA, leading an elite investigation team that tracks down missing agents. But his latest mission - to free a prisoner, code-named Maras, and bring her back onto US soil within 48 hours - is more dangerous than anything his team has attempted before.

Another fantastic adventure
I really love listening to David’s adventures and his thinking of what to do next. The characters are really neat to ‘get to know’. And P.J.s narrative of it makes it all come to life so much more. I listen to my collection of these books many times. Like visiting with friends. Much better than tv or movies. Though these would make a good movie. Especially the drones.

Amazing extraction
I love these assassin series by Ward Larson. Each story is exciting from start to finish. PJ Ochlan is an exceptional narrator. His skill with foreign accents is incredible.
The protagonist, David Slaton is a houdini and his feats of carrying out his spy missions are somewhat unbelievable, but with each adventure you will be rooting for his success. In this adventure David is sent to extract an interpreter from a dangerous area.
How he does it is incredible. The characters in this story are endearing and brave. You'll root for their safety as they follow David through dangerous territory. Great story look forward to the next one.

Very Entertaining
I have read all of Ward Larsen's David Slaton books and found them all to be well written fast moving and hard to put down. Ward is one of a few people that does an excellent job of thriller books on a consistent basis like Tom Wood, Mark Greaney, Gregg Hurwitz, Alex Berenson, and a few others. I think the Amazon ratings for this book are not that accurate as I would give it a 4.8 or 4.9 rating and not a 4.5. Don't hesitate to read this book, it is great and the narrator for the audible book also does an excellent job.

Fun Read!
Good pace, story and action. Another great adventure from Ward Larsen. Looking forward to the next one. However, considering the Hamas attack on Israel a couple days ago- the west’s intelligence services certainly aren’t as effective in real life….

Predicable
The story was predictable and the narrator was weak and uninteresting. I will not purchase the next book in the series.
