Could you save the world if your world was falling apart?

Chris Collins is a CIA deputy director with a history of rogue missions. He's lost his wife, his career, and maybe his friends...but there are new "friends" around every corner. And along with the new friends, some powerful new enemies.

On a bitterly cold night in Washington DC, Chris Collins is heading home to open his favorite bottle of red, when his past walks right by him. A day later, his world falls apart. But he has no time to feel sorry for himself, as he soon realizes that evil forces are at work on an international scale and his country is under attack from within. There’s a job to be done.

In the midst of a personal crisis, he embarks on a global journey that takes him from the rugged coast of Ireland through the heart of Europe to the shimmering deserts of Morocco. He gets more than a little help from the mysterious stranger who keeps showing up in his life, but will it be enough to save innocent lives and bring some of the world's most powerful people to justice?

Includes "Rogue Enemy", a bonus story from the Chris Collins CIA Thriller series.

This is an action adventure story like Jack Ryan with enough twists and turns to keep you interested. Lots of travel, fighting, drinking, and escaping. If you like this genre, you will like this book. Narration is well done. Good plot and character development. Fun action listen!

It was hard to follow the plot. Couldn't sometimes understand what the main character was up to.

'Capitol Break' was a atypical but interesting spy story. It had a good number of twists an turns which kept me guessing who the bad guy really was. When I found out I was really surprised. Well worth a read.

I listen to 2 to 3 books a week. I stumbled across this one and decided to check it out. it's by far one of the best books I've heard in a very long time. lots of action plot twists great lead character. and the narrator is awesome. I've downloaded the next in series already!!!

Well worth a credit!!!

if this was my first exposure to the genre, i’m not sure what my expectations would be…since it is far from my first, i’m left with implausibly, imperfect situations that even more unlikely always work out. there’s cliche and then there’s wishful thinking and then there is this book. I would almost consider that it was authored as a parody- think weird al yankovic…

if I could return I would, but I can’t finish it either!

Good Lord it is like it was computer generated it is so rote and predictable.

cliché after cliché

Probably the most boring thriller ever. Story never went anywhere. The narrator wasn’t bad but there was no energy to give it any excitement.

Boring!

this was terrible and couldn't wait for it to end...and not in a good way.

NO GOOD!

I get the sense that the author was trying for a Jack Reacher/Gray Man vibe. The story is random incomprehensible violence interspersed with a bit of a spy story. Less story than violence as well as bouts of drinking competitions with other spies.
Glad it was free. Couldn't even finish it.

absurd

I think it was written for 12-year-old boys. I was expecting something more thrilling and not as childish. some of the things that the main character says does not make sense. when the character goes to buy a gun in Cuba he spends $300 with somebody to tell him where to go get the gun. then when he goes to get the gun the price is too high he ends up killing the guys because they want his watch. nothing like making a bloodbath when you're a spy. then they kill the guy in the club and Sue just happens to have $5,000 in her purse to buy a car an old Chevy and then they get chased by a Lamborghini great writing for a 12-year-old boy to ingest. have you ever tried to shoot a gun out of a Lamborghini I don't think so especially on a bouncy Road in Cuba. just awful I tried to give it time to see if the writing got better it just got worse sorry - the main character was getting out of DC and a kid on the train recognized him - master spy - no - they have girls prisoners and the bad guys shoot up the barn and lose all that money - on and on - Totally unexceptable and total waste of my time

Bloody awful and awfully Bloody
