Publisher's summary

To a trio of muggers, Red looks like just another suburban dad. But when they demand his wallet at knifepoint, something snaps. In the blink of an eye, two muggers are dead, the third severely injured, and Red doesn't remember a thing. Once an elite member of the Det, a secret forces outfit whose existence is beyond classified, Red thought his active service was over. But his memory is coming back - and a lethal killing machine is returning to duty....

Facing an unthinkable nuclear threat, a volatile international power play, and a personal attack against his family, Red has no choice. He must rejoin his old team, infiltrate the enemy camp, and complete the biggest mission of his life.

Critic reviews

"David McCaleb has a real winner here. Recall is a smart and well-plotted thriller, a fantastic read that I could not put down. Red Harmon is a guy I'd want on my side." (Marc Cameron, New York Times best-selling author)

This was a struggle to listen too.

This book had good elements but never really came through on anything. The characters were good but the plots and the never ending rambling dialogue was too much. The narration was bad too. He was so boring and uninspired sounding.

fun story line

Having been a Marine helo pilot in Vietnam for two years including four months as a ground FAC, there was much familiar sounding action; except for the carrier landing--I was carrier qualified--that was a bit of a reach.

Just OK

Seemed hard to track or get into for me. I didn’t care for the narrator.

I found the realism just wasn’t there…

dialogue

This series has well developed characters and a detailed plot. The pacing is near perfect. I like the family dynamics that are interspersed with the espionage and military action.

Reader was boring. Matter-of-fact

Reader was boring. Matter-of-fact. Story was okay, but not enough to overcome the yawner performance.

Terrible overall

Wish I had more hands because two thumbs down just isn't enough. Story lacked development and the reader was monotone. The book could be better with a reader who gave an but of life to it. Terrible overall!!!

Red Ops Recall

Storyline is weak. Hard to follow.

The narrator is terrible.

Pass on this author’s series.
