About this listen

Jason King and Will Slater, the two most lethal operatives in government history, are out on their own.

They’ve been through their personal journeys into hell, but they unite in New York City as brothers in arms. So begins a vigilante crusade against the city’s morally bankrupt inhabitants.

But their private war doesn’t last long. Sometimes you can’t escape the past, no matter how hard you try. They’re revisited by old government contacts with an agenda, and soon enough they’re fighting tooth and nail to prevent the destabilization of the entire country. Outnumbered, overwhelmed, beat down, battered, broken - it's just another day at the office.

good story, writing can use improvement

I enjoyed the story but the dialogue writing needs improvement and the ending ignores some of the characters main concerns.

Really dark black ops.

For me, this is a well written fictional Bond type assassination story. Very complex and twisted at times. The main characters are also complex but not perfect.
Kevin Kenerly only got four stars. I know pronunciation is often a regional or national in its sound. What really bothered me was this narrator used a hard G sound on all words ending in G. To wit the word "young" ending with the hard g sound.
To me very disconcerting.

Action packed book that is deeply engaging!!

Initially, I thought this book would end as quickly as I started listening to it. However, after continuing through the story it was deeply engaging and the shared spirit of King and Slater was developed excellently. I look forward to continuing this series. For all the adventurous readers out there this would be right up your alley!!

Head-On Action

Brilliant!! This is the 1st Book in the Series that I have "read". It's an Exceptional "Series' First Offering". Well written, non-stop action, exciting themes, "real" heroes and villains, etc. Brilliant!!

King, Slater, et al, are amazing Super Operators, capable of the Battling and Beating the Bad Guys. K&S then Recover from Injuries, Get Stronger, then Deal With the Next "Closest Alligator". They embody the Best Traits, and maybe a few weak ones, of Captain America, the Amazing Hulk, Nick Fury and Mitch Rapp!

Respectfully, IMHO many (most?) in your "audience" are Veterans (America's REAL Heroes). But, few were/are "Top Tier" Operators. We live vicariously through your stories and think "Maybe, I could ...".

Respectfully, We, the audience" need an "Early Slap, Back into Reality". An EARLY disclaimer reminding us, mere mortals, about the REAL dangers posed by near- and long-term "closed head trauma". Avoid and prevent all head trauma. If experienced, take prompt action, seeking Medical Evaluation and Care immediately.

The "Basis" for my input and concern is two-fold. 1) First, CURRENT Medical Database Documents "Serious Short- snd Long-term Effects of Concussions, Closed Head Trauma (CHT), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), etc. 2) Second, to a lesser degree, personal experience following my Navy career (30+ years ago) plus the health of Brothers, living and passed.

Thank you for your consideration. Please forgive my grammar and spelling issues.

Good potential, but a little lacking

The narrator and story both were lacking a little for my preferences.

The narrator used two main voices for males, and one for females in the book. The problem is that his male characters either sounded like they were trying to do a wise-guy impersonation or a or a hardened thug impersonation FOR EVERY OCCASION. It didn't matter what the situation was or how the conversation was going, and it didn't stay consistent with the character. That kept taking me out of the story and trying to figure out who was supposed to be talking.

The story itself has potential to be interesting, but there are a lot of small story holes that add up. Things like saying the two main characters are extremely tight with each other but then having one not know if the other drinks. It's not a major plot hole, but there's a lot of smaller ones like that and they add up to be distracting.

Four stars is not a bad rating I LIKED THE BOOK

In today’s world everyone thinks badly of less than five star rating. If that’s the case, why even have one two three or four stars?

I really liked them characters in the book and the narration was strong. Just a different story than I’m used to. Solid book
I recommend

Good audio for a weekend trip

History is great for us that like action, suspense and that sort of thing, nothing to think just listen and laugh. I'm sorry but the performance was not something I liked, I listened for the story but the narration almost threw me off. I respect Mr Kenerly but I don't follows his tone. Off to book 2
