About this listen

On the streets of Washington, D.C., a brilliant scientist, the brains behind a revolutionary fighter aircraft prototype in development by the Pentagon, is snatched by masked thugs and disappears. Now five years later, an elderly professor at Cambridge University has been murdered, a victim of bizarre, ancient Chinese torture. Alex Hawke teams up with Scotland Yard former Chief Inspector Ambrose Congreve to find the killer, but this death is merely the opening gambit in a tense and lethal game of geopolitical brinksmanship.

In the United States, the president's behavior makes many question his fitness for leadership. Is his mental health deteriorating, or is there something far more sinister at work? The answer is crucial, for hostilities are rapidly escalating between China, North Korea, and the United States, as China launches a vastly advanced fighter far more sophisticated than any seen before, military technology that might leapfrog everything the U.S. and Great Britain now possess.

With the situation edging closer and closer to the yawning abyss, Hawke faces a female Chinese mastermind and assassin named Chyna Moon. He must infiltrate enemy territory and neutralize their advantage...or risk the outbreak of World War III.

Starts Slow, Ends Well

I mostly enjoy the Alex Hawke series and this one was ok. Seems like thriller writers got together and all decided to use the Chinese as protagonists for the last 2 years or so.

For whatever reason, this one was bouncing back and forth between a few three story threads all the time which got sort of irritating. When it started to flow together about 3/4 the way through it finished well.

I can never quite get into John Shea's performances. It was ok, but it seems like he's done better in the past. Something about his Stokely Jones really grates on me. His job was made easier because his main Chinese bad guy and his daughter all speak with British accents. Ok, but not great.

Excellent story from start to finish

I have read every book in the hawk series-and have thoroughly enjoyed each and everyone. This may be my favorite. But this is the first time I actually listened to one on audiobook. And I was a little disappointed with the narrator. I've listened to around 40 other audiobooks with other narrators that seem to have a better range of male female and other character voices. But it may also be because I've had all these other characters in my head and this is the first time I've heard someone else's rendition of what they would sound like. I highly recommend the book.

Almost lost me as a loyal listner!!!

Mr. Hall introduced Alexa, Hawks son, in the last 2 books only to begin Book 9 as if Alexa and his mother never existed. I told my wife how I really liked the series and how Mr. Hall, with the addition of Hawk's son, had given the story a deeper meaning. But that I was VERY disappointed because, several chapters in, it look like he had erased Alexa and his mother completely out of the series. I was so upset I was on the verge of stopping the book, asking for a credit refund and giving Mr. Hall a large piece of my mind!!! My wife said not to be so quick and I'm really glad I listened to her. A couple of more chapters and he finally "mentioned his son". But not until further in did he really bring you Alexa and Ms. Church into part of the plot line. From that point on I was HOOKED again and loved the rest of the book. if you too really like the depth Alexa and it's story line adds to the quality of Hawk's life then keep listening and you'll be very pleased.
Now I hope it won't be too long before the next book in the series comes out. I wait with baited breath!!!!

Awesome stories and narration

I don’t usually write reviews but I feel inclined to do so. Although sometimes a bit far fetched, I love these books and always look forward to the next one. John Shea is my favorite narrator of all times. He really brings the characters to life with his wide range of talent. Keep on keeping on, gentlemen!
