About this listen

Mila Voss is dead. That’s what the team hired to terminate her had reported, and that’s how her file had been marked. Dead. Six years now. So why did she suddenly show up on a hotel’s security camera in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania? Those who’d paid for her elimination are more than a little curious.

One person should know what happened—Jonathan Quinn, one of the best cleaners in the business, the man who’d been tasked with the disposal of her body. Only Quinn isn’t exactly easy to get ahold of these days, and he may not be willing to share the answer.

Wow!

Story - The Destroyed is an awesome espionage thriller. It is good from the first sentence, and the suspense and action never let up. There are no dull spots, no filler stuff, just great story from beginning to end. The book is not confusing or hard to follow, but you will need to pay close attention. There are lots of players and it alternates between two timelines that you will have to keep straight. There is violence and killing, but that is not the main thrust of the story.

This is Book 5 of the Jonathan Quinn series, but it's my first. I'm sure I missed out on some background information and history, but this story stands alone perfectly and the ending ties up everything nicely.

Narrator - I know Scott Brick is a favorite of Audible listeneres, and now I can understand why. He does a great job (and has a pretty sexy voice, too), but I withhold my 5's for great jobs done on more difficult performances.

Overall - Get this book. You will not be disppointed.

Excellent story.

This was the first Brett Battles book for me, and it was very good. If you are a fan of Lee Child, DeMille or some of Ludlum's excellent early work, I am sure you will like The Destroyed. I am looking forward to Battle's other work. As usual Scott Brick is fantastic as the narrator.

This guy is good! Really really good!

I have over 1600 books in my audio library most of which are serious. This is got to be one of the best series I've ever read! The auther has an amazing mind within attention to detail and Scott brick is awesome! Start from the beginning of the series you will not be sorry the books just keep getting better and better!

Excellent addition to the Series

If you could sum up The Destroyed in three words, what would they be?

Action, Fast Paced

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Destroyed?

The Ending

What does Scott Brick bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Good job at changing voices with characters. You always know who is talking.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Really enjoyed it. Wanted to know what was going to happen next.

Any additional comments?

I would recommend reading the series in order, but definitely take time to get around to this one. Although The Cleaner, the first in the series, was good...the author's writing gets better as he goes along.

Did not miss a beat

The Jonathan Quinn series keeps humming right along. As ever, The Destroyed is a great action story with interesting characters. This was near impossible to put down until I read the last page.

Brett Does it Again!

I'm not sure about the books outside this series but if you haven't followed Quinn's (anchor character) journey in this series (and you like a bit of well intentioned deviousness) then you're missing out. Battles is a master at taking story lines in different directions and crafting the evolution of characters. Mentor and 'student' become equals, but in a realistic (however surprising) way...to say any more would be too much information. Best value for money would be to read the entire series. I have and all were highly entertaining. Its frustrating trying to find well written espionage. They're usually either corny or unbelievable. As usual Scott Brick is perfect as narrator. Often narrators are distracting. Scott is a natural and always adds to the experience. I'm still curious about how an author can make you bond with a character that doesn't lose any sleep over killing. The 'means justifies the ends'? So, if you want to 'get even with the baddies' take a ride with Quinn. By the way: this book is for the ladies too. You won't regret it.

Good book and narration!

This was a good book. I really liked it. The back and forth was interesting. I wouldn't want to listen that all the time, but in this case it was okay. Save Mila Voss!

Again, action, intrigue and great characters.

The narration is excellent. I love Scott Brick, he does such a great job on all the voice and has a very sexy voice.

Solid next step in the Quinn series. Good action with a good back story to hold interest.
