Publisher's summary

Francesca Clark-Bartlett, wife of the American Democratic Party’s presidential nominee, seeks more power than she already has. Meanwhile, the attractive yet naive Melissa Iverson wishes she had never inherited her family's vast fortune.

After they both become entangled with a 44-year-old, womanizing British intelligence agent, the two women find themselves in a web of deception and mystery. Threatening letters, dark family secrets and connections to persons of power all tell them that the path they tread is wrought with danger.

Daniel Kemp's Once I Was A Soldier is a thriller brimming with international intrigue, and a story of poignant self-reflection.

Book 2

The story line is good and the narration is very clear. It is worth my time listening to this audiobook from beginning to end.

The right mix

This book just worked for me. It had just the right mix of lot, action, character development, sexy times and humor. All supported snd brought to life by a well-fitting narrator!

I received this audiobook for free in exchange for a review. (But I do a number of these and few get five stars!)

A very interesting story, and great voice.

I was recommended to read/listen to this book by a good friend of mine. And I must say it's a very interesting story unlike any I've heard before. I find the in-depth use of English words to be engaging and stimulating while the plot unfolding makes it challenging to turn off.

The story can get a bit racy at times which I find to add to its mystery and excitement. it also keeps a nice flow, you don't find yourself drifting off in thought or the like as the engagement of the book and flow of things will keep you interested and desiring more.

The narrator did a fantastic job and homage to the story, I hate to say that a audio book can easily be made or broken based off the narrator, and in this case they could not have picked a better one, his ability's to pronounce the English words sourced in this book, were fantastic while always having a clear and easy on the ears voice that demands interest and attention.

I would recommend this book and look foreword to feature works from both parties.

Excellent!!

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the Audiobook: "Once I Was A Soldier". The story was captivating, but what I especially enjoyed was the British narrator ‘s voice. His British accent, pauses in just the right places, and cadence made me feel like I was right there, and I was totally immersed in the story. For me, the narrator was the "frosting on the cake"!
Congratulations to Daniel Kemp and his narrator, John Gowing tor creating a winner of an audio book!! Can't wait to hear the next one!!

Amazing story teller!

This book was great, the narrator is what really makes you get into what really is going on! The emotion that is given while he speaks is better than what my mind would have sounded like if I had read the book myself! I enjoy listening to stories and reading them. This is a great audiobook to listen to, take a listen!
