About this listen

A sudden family death and an old nemesis bring retired agent Mac Dekker in from the cold in this alpine thriller from New York Times bestselling author Christopher Reich.

Robbie Steinhardt lives a peaceful life. A fixture of his small alpine village, he tends cattle, minds his own business, and doesn’t dwell on his former life and the family and lover he left behind—back when he was Mac Dekker, CIA.

But when he learns his son Will died following in his footsteps, he needs answers. What mission took Will up into the alpine heights, and why is Ilya Ivashka on the same trail? Ilya—his close friend, his rival in love. Ilya, who framed Mac for treason and sent him into hiding.

Wiping away the years, Mac returns to the field to find the secrets Will hid and finds himself facing the Herculean task of stopping a terrorist plot that threatens thousands. But in a field of double agents, who can he trust?

Interesting plot with a lot of twists and turns. At the heart love of a women tares through the fibre of a life time friendship.

The book cover says it all!

Very well done and fun to listen to. My wife and I zipped through this book and enjoyed all of it. Gotta love Mac Dekker - someone who wants to stay out of the limelight (and even out of sight), but all of that changes when he gets word that something happened to his son - and then it's no holds barred. The author must have spent time in Switzerland - as his descriptions could only have been written by someone who is/was very familiar with the surroundings. Good story, Good Narration, Good overall. I would recommend this to anyone who likes fast moving action stories. We especially liked that there was no gratuitous violence.

Very Enjoyable Romp Through Switzerland

Too many different names for me, but that’s probably my issue. The story moved along well and was very interesting.

I had a hard time with the foreign names but a good story

This book just never really drew me in. The character development was decent, but sequences like the car chase were just too drawn out. It read like it was a book adaptation of an action movie.

Not a stand out for me

Really, really enjoyed this book. Great plot, suspense, and a mostly happy ending. Can't wait for the next one! The narration was splendid.

Fantastic!

Like the most well written spy thriller novels, you can’t take your ear buds out till the very end. I’ve read all of this author’s books and this is his best.

Well Written Thriller

I didn’t like American propaganda - Russians are bad, Americans are good no matter what they do

Good story, interesting plot

Where it took place was great. I will read or listen to another foot by this author

story

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

What started out interesting stalled in a middle that spent way too much time on setting the game board. And everybody seemed to know everybody else … which was hard to swallow given how many years Mac Dekker was out of the game. I think the biggest thing that made this fade into the background was using the same narrator as in several of his other series, such as Simon Riske.

Thus, this is another book with the same author, narrator, and single, white, middle-aged male MC with special skills, finding danger in Europe. I suppose I might get book 2 on sale and hope for improvement, but at present I can’t really summon the enthusiasm.

Serviceable
