About this listen

Taskforce operators Pike Logan and Jennifer Cahill are used to putting their lives at risk, but in The Polaris Protocol it's Jennifer's brother and countless more innocents who face unfathomable violence and bloodshed. Pike and Jennifer are in Turkmenistan with the Taskforce - a top-secret antiterrorist unit that operates outside US law - when Jennifer gets a call from her brother, Jack. Working on an investigative report into the Mexican drug cartels, Jack Cahill has unknowingly gotten caught between two rival groups. His desperate call to his sister is his last before he's kidnapped. In their efforts to rescue Jack, Pike and Jennifer uncover a plot much more insidious than illegal drug trafficking - the cartel that put a target on Jack's back has discovered a GPS hack with the power to effectively debilitate the United States. The hack allows a user to send false GPS signals, making it possible to manipulate everything from traffic signals and banking wire transfers to cruise missiles, but only while the system's loophole remains in place.

Loved the book…..

But I did not appreciate the last 10 mins or so. I want my protagonists to be better than that.

A very entertaining book

I'm not much of a reader. However, I very much enjoyed this book while driving and walking the dog. Two thumbs up.

IF IT DON'T FIT DON'T FORCE IT

What made the experience of listening to The Polaris Protocol the most enjoyable?

The narrator and the action.

It's not that the narrator was that extraordinary and just knocked me clean off of my feet. It's just that I thought he had a voice that was perfect for this genre. Some narrators have voices that can seem like a character all by itself. Henry Strozier's narration didn't interfere with the story. I like that. It was perfect in a nondescript way.

And I really enjoy books that read like movies. There are some really good action sequences in this book and that's what kept me going.

Would you be willing to try another book from Brad Taylor? Why or why not?

Yes. I love a good series that allows me to really get to know the characters. I think I'd like to get to know Pike and Logan a little better.

Have you listened to any of Henry Strozier’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No. This was my first.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

"Wanted to?" Not necessarily.

Could have? Possibly - while taking a nice long road trip.

Any additional comments?

This book was enjoyable. I only gave it three stars because the storyline felt forced. I'm not a fan of books where family members of secret government operatives end up involved in some sort of deadly international event that requires the operators to go off the grid trying to save their lives. Those story lines never feel real to me for some reason - probably just a matter of personal preference.

*POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT*

And then I have mixed feelings as to the likelihood of Pike and Logan being romantically involved in real life. On one hand, I can totally understand how two people can become attracted to each other in the workplace; most people spend at least eight hours of their day at work - some more than others. We interact constantly with our co-workers and pheromones are don't discriminate. I GET IT!

However, in Pike and Logan's line of work, I think its a bit of a stretch to think that a romantic relationship between a team leader and a subordinate would be so well received by the team members. I think its dangerous and a transfer would be in everybody's best interest.
