About this listen

With her back against the wall, everything’s on the line for Bianca St. Ives. She’s either going to save the world - or die trying.

It took one hell of an effort for the authorities to finally get the jump on master manipulator Bianca St. Ives, but now that they have, it’s far from the capture she expected. Instead of taking her in, there’s an offer on the table, a one-shot deal that would allow Bianca to walk away scot-free as if they’d never found her. And all she has to do is run one last mission - the kind she might never return from. But if Bianca wants to go back to her normal life in Savannah, it’s not like she has a choice.

An intelligence operation is already under way in North Korea, one that’s poised to end the country’s existing tyrannical regime for good. But first, the US need one of their own to go undercover as the female hacker who recently stole top secret intel from NORAD. Enter Bianca. After everything she’s seen, Bianca knows feeding fake information directly into the belly of the beast is about as dangerous as it gets. It could mean torture or endless imprisonment - assuming she survives. But it might also ignite the kind of chaos that forces a revolution. It might just change the world. Besides, if Bianca has to go down, she’s gonna go down swinging…

hooked on this series

This is a 3 part series and it is addictive, fun, has humor, action and suspense. I loved every minute of those books. The heroine gave me life! She is a badass who is relatable on so many levels. The supporting characters added richness to the story and were wonderfully constructed. The relationship with her father, new love and friends was beautiful. Doc is one if my favs. and though I wanted to hate her father, I was still enamored with him. He had so many reasons for what he did and why he was the way he was.Will not regret this. Searching for more titles from this author and type this review!

Robards’ Guardian series pure entertainment

I immediately started the third book and am happy I did. The electrifying adventure continues with Bianca St. Ives and her entourage. Karen Robards picks up from the end of Book #2 and we are treated to more dangerous and complexellent action. They zigzag all over the globe, all the while including twisty turns, jaw-dropping and sexy surprises, with oh, so much more! Listen intently. You want to devour every second of this intricate winner. Never a dull moment. As always, Julia Whelan’s precise vocals make this an exciting listen. (I mean, who can narrate gunshots with perfection?) Julia can, that’s who! How does she do it? I anxiously await Book #4. Please with narration by Whelan, a must. These three audiobooks flow at a perfect pace and absolutely must be listened to in order: Book #1 “The Ultimatum,” Book # 2 “The Moscow Deception,” Book #3 “The Fifth Doctrine.” So highly recommended I can’t stress it enough. Worthy of treasured credits. An awesome nod to Robards, Whelan and Audible for making this available. Here I am again, on the rooftop, screaming, “Epic, I say! EPIC! EPIC! EPIC!”

Ingenious!

What an amazing story. The plot, characters, dialogue, descriptions and narration are all awesome. It's my favorite of the series because Colin and Bianca are working together throughout the book. Thank you, Ms. Robards.

Author, Karen Robards, did an amazing job!

Karen Robards did an amazing job in researching intelligence tactics, deception and self-defense moves. This thriller is so captivating. The intrigue and details of the story are convoluted and captivating. I love the way she ends each book with the introduction to the next one. The ending of book three leads me to believe there will be a book four! Please let it be so!!! Highly recommend.
