Former NTSB Investigator Jake Pendleton faces a dilemma as the line blurs between right and wrong. After his judgment comes into question, Jake is entrusted to his new mentor, an eccentric old man who sees beyond Jake’s flaws. A man who makes ‘toys for spies.’ A man known as The Toymaker.
Jake’s first assignment reunites him with Gregg Kaplan in a daredevil mission to rescue a fellow agent held captive in Yemen. He risks his life to stop the first attack of an al Qaeda mastermind. But now, with no one to trust but himself, can Jake stop the terrorist from destroying what is most precious to the free world? Unfortunately, more trouble comes his way as a killer from his past threatens something more important to Jake than his own life, leaving him to make the hardest decision any man ever has to make—Who to sacrifice.

PERFORMANCE - I don't understand why so many people complain about Scott Brick. It's true that he overdramatizes a bit, but I'm totally fine with it. I like his voice, and he definitely doesn't deliver a boring or monotone performance.
OVERALL - There's no sex or violence, and the violence is not gory or graphic. I recommend the book to anyone who's looking for an easy but exciting listen. It's not perfect, but I was thoroughly entertained.
I don't get all these bad reviews...

Is there anything you would change about this book?
Yes - I would try writing the plot without so many of the major characters being driven by revenge.How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
This appears to be an effort to write a novel that will be similar to those of Cussler, Ludlum, Baldacci and the like. However, most of the "good guys" were as unlikeable as the "bad guys". If readers are not bothered by the focus on revenge, then perhaps it is acceptable...but it is not for me. I would tackle the same plot without the almost total reliance on revenge.What does Scott Brick bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Scott Brick is a master at presenting many different characters, and I actually bought this because he is the reader. He is, in my opinion, one of the best readers of all, for audio books.Could you see The Toymaker being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
It probably would be chosen; it's gory enough that the special effects folks would have a great time. I can't imagine any star I admire that I would want to see in this film.Any additional comments?
As a result of this novel, I will be avoiding not only this series, but any books I see that are by this author. I love books full of international intrigue, craft, and philosophy, but the revenge thing really got in the way for me.Not my kind of tale.
