About this listen

The Chinese dragon is flexing its muscles. As its military begins to prey on neighbors in the South China Sea, attacking fishing vessels and scheming to seize natural resources, the US goes on high alert. But a far more ominous danger lurks closer to home: a Chinese sleeper cell has planted a nuclear weapon in the harbor at Norfolk, Virginia, the biggest naval base on the planet. The target: a secret rendezvous of the Atlantic Fleet aircraft carriers and their battle groups.

When the CIA director is assassinated and Jake Grafton is appointed to take his place, he gets wind of the conspiracy, but has no idea when or where the attack will occur. In the meantime, a series of assassinations, including an attempt on the life of the President, shake the country and deliberately mask a far more sinister objective. Can Jake Grafton and his right hand man, Tommy Carmellini, stop the plot to destroy the US Navy?

Tt takes its time getting there but the wait is worthwhile.
Some of the characters are familiar. Some are new. It's a good plot. I would like to think that we would do as well as the folks herein. Perhaps we would . I hope we'll never find out.

Fine

At age 70 author Stephen Coonts is getting better! His two releases this year are his best novels ever and are on par with the very best of the espionage thriller genre. First there was this novel The Art of War then Liberty's Last Stand. Both are in the Tommy Carmellini series. The suspense is intense and sustained. Narration Eric G Dove matches the high quality of the novel. I VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND this novel!

Remarkable, fantastic espionage thriller

Well done. Not disappointed. Performance was very good and sorry line was also well done.

Another nail biter

As I listen to these stories I realized that I miss the interaction between Jake and Toad. TOAD'S ROBIN TO JAKE'S BATMAN'S. I'm hoping that Tommy's Witt will come to past. Toad is like a younger brother. Smart, mouthy, sly, irreverent, and just plain KOOL. LZ - a fan

Stephen Coonts at his best! My favorite one sense Liars and Thieves. Narration was outstanding.

Thrilling story

Interesting story but just a few too many implausible pieces that you just have to go with. Still had some interesting twists and overall concept was interesting. Great quotes at the start of each chapter

Too many reminders that it is just a story

Some authors get stale on a story line. Putting Grafton as a supporting character snd using Tommy C to tell the story brings new life into Coonts latest books.

Better and Better
