Publisher's summary

Carl Logan was the perfect agent. A loner with no real friends or family, he was trained to deal with any situation with cold efficiency, devoid of emotion. But Logan isn't the man he used to be or the asset he once was.

Five months ago his life changed forever when he was captured, tortured and left for dead by Youssef Selim, one of the world's most violent terrorists. When Selim mysteriously reappears in Paris, linked to the kidnapping of America's attorney general, Logan smells his chance for revenge.

Pursuing his man relentlessly, oblivious to the growing trail of destruction that he leaves in his wake, Logan delves increasingly deep into the web of lies and deceit surrounding the kidnapping. Finally, he comes to learn just what it means to dance with the enemy.

Good characters and plot twists.

The plot was interesting and full of nice twists. I look forward to reading future Logan and Ryker books.

Enjoyable

I found Carl to be a bit of a "blubbering idiot" , stupid moves, how he didn't get caught and the way he got out of fixes, were all too good to be true. I prefer my books a bit more realistic. His torture issue could have been handled better in my opinion, when it was eventually revealed, it fell flat.

The characters are less than credible!

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The female character was (an FBI) agent was not in the least believable. It would have been a better read had the character been less the stereotypical emotional agent and more realistic given the role she was playing in the story.

Would you ever listen to anything by Rob Sinclair again?

Not at this point.

What aspect of Paul Thornley’s performance would you have changed?

His performance neither enhanced nor detracted from the story. Kinda blah...

Did Dance with the Enemy inspire you to do anything?

Not to read another of this author's novels!

Too Convoluted

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

The story is way too long and convoluted and in some parts, including the end is quite unbelievable. How can an FBI rogue agent accumulate 8 MIL to pay for a look alike terrorist plot to avenge a wrong? Definitely not my favorite.

Boring

A few changes and this could have been 5 stars

This book came so close in many ways to being a really great listen however the technical skills and craft of our hero Carl Logan just don’t match up to the billing as JIA’s ‘best agent’. The JIA’s best agent can’t pick a lock (handcuffs, doors), sneak in and out of buildings, come up with good attack plans yet supposedly survived years as a ‘covert’ operative - Common on – it just doesn’t make sense. And when a story has a ripple and a flaw it unravels part of the story line. Logan races like a bull in a china cabinet from one place to another and we are lead to believe part of the recklessness is due to PTSD and being out of practice for 5 months but it seems he also doesn’t have some basic covert operator skills to begin with – he only has the brute force skills. However, the character development is excellent, the plot has a number of interesting twists, and the pace is fast – it is hard to stop listening until jolted by a huge incontinency (like needing to break a window to get in through a back door rather than picking the lock). The skill set for the hero needs to match the billing if we are to believe he is the ‘best agent’ because without the consistency story line is glaringly flawed and ruins the story.

Excellent story

The story is intriguing, it holds one’s attention to the final page. It’s not what you expect. The characters develop extremely well. Really enjoyed it.

Never ending story!!

I think I would have enjoyed the story so much more if it wouldn't have gotten bogged down in such trivial details. It had a good plot, but it just kept going on, and on. I can't stop once I start a book. So I trudged through it!! Nope I wouldn't recommend this book unless you like lots of useless details.

poor story

very unimaginative plot, the action was unrealistic and the only reason I finished was a paid good money for it. I kept hoping it would get better, but it didnt.

Lots of action, no characters, no plot,

The book starts out without any introduction of the character, agency, or story.

The action starts immediately. We have no idea what's going on or why.

It's like being shoved into the middle of a lecture on Non-Euclidean Geometry and trying to catch up.

Sorry. I have better things to do with my time...
