About this listen

If Zufar al-Massoud, the celebrated leader of the Salafist jihadists, accomplishes his planned terrorist act, Thanksgiving Day in the U.S. will forever be known as America's Day of Blood. He and his fellow conspirators will not only place multiple IEDs along the New York City Macy's parade route, slaughtering thousands of onlookers but will release canisters of sarin gas on the subway landings in both New York and Washington, D.C.

Hours later when America thinks it's all over, two fertilizer bombs planted at the Cowboys-Lions game at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas will kill hundreds maybe thousands more. But this will not be al-Massoud's only crusade. As he is also on a quest to avenge the murder of his brother, Asahif, AKA the Viper, by killing Asahif's assassin, Atticus Steed, at Steed's beach home in Antigua, he inadvertently shoots and wounds Steed's wife, Maria.

While she lies in ICU near death, Steed, who is himself now out for revenge but helplessly compelled to stay at Maria's side, engages the support of his old comrade-in-arms, ex-counterterrorist operative Bruce McGowan. Unbeknownst to McGowan, however, he is likewise on al-Massoud's hit list and must take necessary steps to protect his own wife, Adriana, from certain peril.

In this gripping cat-and-mouse sequel in the McGowan Collection series, McGowan and Steed once again team up to find and kill the dangerous al-Massoud before he puts his heinous plans of attack into action. Tick tock.

Addicting Series

I love The McGowan series Audibles. This is the fourth one I’ve enjoyed. I’m addicted to this series.
Bruce McGowan and Atticus Steed unite to fight a common enemy trying to kill them. McGowan and Steed killed The Viper, a terrorist operating in the USA. The Viper’s brother must avenge this death.

This jihadist is in line to replace his brother in an American-based terrorist organization. He is also implementing a Thanksgiving Day terrorist attack. When he isn't planning the attacks he goes after Steed and McGowan. These two men with a similar skill set make The Viper's younger brother’s task of vengeance nightmarish.

Some globe trotting. A lot of cat and mouse games. Non-stop action-packed thriller. Once I start a McGowan story I’m immersed in that world. The narration is well done with real sound effects peppered in.

A nice shift in the series

The story got a little bogged down with the data dump of backstory when Bruce came in scene. His corny attempts at humor were less distracting this time. I appreciate that. This book flowed more easily. I think combining the 2 strong characters (Bruce and Atticus) into the same book works well. It balances things out for me and makes a more pleasant read. Good narration.

too gross for me

i really like the author's previous series a lot. this one is just too gross for me. a lot of espionage novels are becoming that way, even with authors i have read for years, and i wish i could tell beforehand since i dont want to spend my money on audible or kindle books that i cannot read. i really want to return it, but its a big hassle with audible. their tags are completely useless and stupid. i have over 1500 audible books, some have been returned or archived because of this issue, or just written by someone who cant write well. if i could switch all those books to a better service, i would, but that doesnt exist.

I'm obviously in a minority on this issue, or most reviews are not real.
