About this listen
The Trojans defeated Troy by hiding soldiers inside the belly of a wooden horse disguised as a peace offering. What if America’s enemies repeated that strategy?
As the Caliphate of the Middle East continues to crumble, ISIS turns their eyes to a new strategy to waging war. But what if ISIS was just a puppet - a pawn in a grander scheme to gain control of the West?
Traitors Within follows Michael Stone, a former Delta Force operator-turned-CIA spy as he uncovers a plot within our own government to smuggle dangerous extremists into the homeland. As Stone begins to unravel this web of secrets that spans multiple countries, will he be able to prevent the horrific acts of terrorism being planned? Is he already too late? Will this covert puppet master be able to pull off the next 9/11-style attack and start the next world war?
Traitors Within is the first book in the action-packed Michael Stone spy thriller series. If you like pulse-pounding twists from an author who used to hunt and track real-world terrorists, then you’ll love Rosone and Watson’s first foray into the spy-thriller genre.

In the not-too-distant future, the United States loses its status as a world Superpower. With the military cut to a barebones level and American leaders focused solely on the nation's internal struggles, the door will open for new powers to emerge on the world stage. In the wake of this power vacuum, China and Russia begin to flex their military muscles and expand their dominance in the world. They have the most up-to-date technological innovations ready for battle: railguns, unmanned drone tank vehicles, exoskeleton suits, and cyber warfare.

In 2006, when the Iraq War was all but lost, a new strategy was implemented - with combat troops across Iraq, the US would systematically hunt down every terrorist and insurgent group operating in the country. However, that strategy relied upon the success of a small interrogation unit within Task Force 134 to find, locate, and eliminate threats to peace and stability within Iraq. Interview with a Terrorist follows James Rosone’s true-life story as he joined the interrogation team to try and make a difference in the conflict in Iraq.

Long before the waterboarding controversy exploded in the media, one CIA agent had already gone public. In a groundbreaking 2007 interview with ABC News, John Kiriakou called waterboarding torture - but admitted that it probably worked. This book, at once a confessional, an adventure story, and a chronicle of Kiriakou's life in the CIA, stands as an important, eloquent piece of testimony from a committed American patriot.

Widely heralded on publication as a “must-read” (Military Review) and “important window on America’s battle with al-Qaeda” (Washington Post), Ali Soufan’s revelatory account of the war on terror as seen from its front lines changed the way we understand al-Qaeda and how the United States prosecuted the war — and led to hard questions being asked of our leaders.

Story
A landmark collaboration between a thirty-year veteran of the CIA and a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, The Main Enemy is the inside story of the CIA-KGB spy wars, told through the actions of the men who fought them. Based on hundreds of interviews with operatives from both sides, The Main Enemy puts us inside the heads of CIA officers as they dodge surveillance and walk into violent ambushes in Moscow. This is the story of the generation of spies who came of age in the shadow of the Cuban missile crisis and rose to run the CIA and KGB in the last days of the Cold War.

For months, he had sent shocking revelations from inside the terrorist network and now promised to help the CIA assassinate Osama bin Laden’s top deputy. Instead, as he stepped from his car, he detonated a 30-pound bomb strapped to his chest, instantly killing seven CIA operatives....

Kevin Fulton was one of the British Army's most successful intelligence agents. Having been recruited to infiltrate the Provisional IRA at the height of the Troubles, he rose its ranks to an unprecedented level. Living and working undercover, he had no option other than to take part in heinous criminal activities, including the production of bombs which he knew would later kill. So highly was he valued by IRA leaders that he was promoted to serve in its infamous internal police - ironically, his job was now to root out and kill informers.

One of an elite handful in the entire military with the authority to select targets and issue death orders, he worked in concert with the full human and technological network of American intelligence - assets, analysts, spies, informants - and the military's elite operatives to stalk, capture, and eliminate high-value targets in al-Qaeda and ISIS.

Traitors Within
Summary:
Although the book claims to be about Michael Stone, he’s only one cog in the machine of good guys and bad guys. The premise is terrifyingly realistic. Traitors have helped Isis slip terrorist sleepers into the United States and Europe through their refugee programs.
Additional Comments:
- I was in the middle of the book when the world had a pandemic meltdown. It’s not exactly a light-hearted read, but it is good.
- John Tanner does a decent job bringing the story to life. I always listen at 2 or 2.5 x speed, so I didn’t have any problems with the diction or flow. It’s always interesting when people complain about speed. Most audio apps have given people the ability to change things like that.
- The end is pretty open. They’re definitely angling for sequels.
- There are a lot of sections and characters that come and go. You don’t really get a chance to get attached to any of them. Michael is one of the central characters, but he’s less central than I like for a series like this (billed as being all about him).
- It’s pretty standard fare as far as thrillers go. If you like some of David Baldacci’s spy thrillers, you might like this. Baldacci’s better at character development, but Michael Stone fits the bill for standard spy guy. They even poked fun at this in describing him.
- While the book offers a fair look at a scenario like this, I can see it skirts very close to that line. People act irrationally when it comes to terrorist acts. Whether it wants to or not, the book points out some rather large gaping holes in national security when it comes to letting in a bunch of refugees. Balancing humanitarian efforts and security is a headache I’m glad not to claim.
- Content Warnings: Some violence; some language; no adult scenes
Conclusion:
If you can get past the horrible acts of terrorism that have to be described in order to have a book like this, you’ll probably like it.

abit disappointed
The novel is my first James Rosone I thought it'd be better has I heard great things about his outer novels. There was little mystery or try spycraft in the novel the authors just give you everything with hugh history at the start and show backstorys for chacthers of how they got into America. The only times I was suprised was st the endding.

Awful Narrator!
I really enjoyed the book. Except for the narration
Their narrator was awful!
Terrible!!! Stopping and starting and confusing the different voices and accents. I have read and listen to every James Rosone and Miranda Watson books. I cannot believe they let this narrator read their book to us. I am shocked that audible let this happen. Audible should be ashamed of themselves. And why did the book end so abruptly and without a sequel?

Perhaps the worst narration ever
I commend the authors on a solid story. The narration, however, is painful. The narrator seems fine during conversational parts, the narrative portions sound awkward and disjointed. Staccato. Galloping. Emphasizing the wrong words in a sentence. And often, he sounds robotic, as if a male Siri voice were reading. Did anyone listen to this before releasing this?
