About this listen
Bonus: Includes a special preview of Rodger Carlyle's second novel in the Team Walker Series, The Shadow Game.
"Carlyle's political plot is intricate and stealthy. His novel is quickly paced, and the storyline overflows with...exhilarating twists. Thad Walker is the ultimate hard-edged military hero." --The BookLife Prize
--Robert Dugoni, Internationally Best Selling Author of the Charles Jenkins Espionage Series
America and China are developing secret weapons that will forever change the balance of power.
Young Navy analyst Chad Gritt discovers the Chinese are using an undetectable spying system, code named EEL, to monitor every American development, except for America’s most important secret: Arctic Angel.
The CIA’s analysts and whiz kids apply every cyber technique in their arsenal and still know nothing about the Chinese technology. Realizing that the only chance to unmask the threat is old fashioned field work, the CIA director recruits the eccentric former CIA operative Thadius Walker to help.
Young Chad Gritt and aging Thad Walker form Team Walker. Gritt is tasked with understanding the Chinese threat while Walker develops strategies to keep their adversaries from discovering the secret.
When cyber and clandestine spying ratchet up fear, the two countries launch covert military operations to force each other to reveal their secrets. Success means the winner will develop counter measures and failure cedes dominance of the Pacific Region.
A handpicked elite Chinese commando unit rises out of the sea before the American SEAL team arrives to protect a US remote military base disguised as an historical marine park. Can a strange mix of ‘park police’, scientists and women techno geeks led by a greying Air Force Colonel who has never seen combat defeat the elite Chinese commandos?

Three top secret research scientists are presumed dead in a boating accident, but the kidnapping of their families the same day raises questions the FBI and local police can't answer, leaving them waiting for a ransom demand that will never come. Central Intelligence Agency analyst Chris Leroux stumbles upon the story, and finds a phone conversation that was never supposed to happen. When he reports it to his boss, the national clandestine services chief, he is uncharacteristically reprimanded for conducting an unauthorized investigation and told to leave it to the FBI.
