About this listen

To most people, Maj. John Rexford is a retired marine living in the Catskill Mountains of New York on disability. Even John's girlfriend, Maggie, has no idea he's really a CIA spook recruited in Afghanistan and assigned to kill enemies on US soil. With exemplary skills in hand-to-hand combat and small-arms weaponry, John Rexford completes a string of successful kills, eliminating terrorists and their money supply in the New York metropolitan area. With the FBI hot on his trail for these illegal assassinations, John must find a way to stop an international team of explosives experts from destroying New York City's aqueducts, killing thousands with chlorine gas, and burning the five boroughs to the ground. During his mission John runs afoul of a high-level underworld assassin who uses his mastery of yoga to silently strangle his victims. When the assassin discovers John's one liability - his girlfriend, Maggie - John will have to make a terrible choice between her life and the capture of her abductor. This tightly scripted story begins with a terrorist plot and gradually turns into a clash between two professional killers, with the lives of both John Rexford and Maggie hanging in the balance. As the characters collide with deadly force on the streets of New York in Cut and Cover, the line between right and wrong blurs, long-standing loyalties are questioned, and no one is really sure, even if they succeed, what the final outcome will be.

Basically a very boring story about cycling and over described meals. With maybe 30 pages of action. Plus the ending was terrible

Barely enough story for a novella.

Mostly realistic, but lacked something. Liked the performer and the humorous aspects. Loved the voice of Yoda. Not bad writing and no real loose ends left hanging. Liked alot of detail pertaining to the inner training of the martial mentality. Lots of good that would lead me to another Kevin Hurley novel.

It's the little details I liked

This seems like a storyline that I’d normally enjoy, but it is tough when the reader’s tone & inflections don’t match the story. I’ve never knocked a narrator before, but this one just doesn’t go with this story. Because of that, it’s hard to give a fair rating to the content.

Hard to stay engaged...

terrorist incident could happen. the author had a good idea and should have expanded on it but only staying on it for a little bit.

Tough start
I had to restart c1 6 or 8 times to understand I hadn't missed something. Also, felt like was reading page filler,, extraneous fluff as the content wad neither relevant nor intresting. I developed a real distaste for Maggie near the end, loved John BUT realized early that this was not intended to be a long series. which I prefer.
