The American Audiobook

" An interesting and fast moving genre novel. Good for a three or four mile walk on the treadmill and being suprised because the time flew by in an instant and you are tempted to go another mile just to see what happens next. "

" ketika baca buku ini, kok jadi ingat film2 hollywood, mungkin gak lama lagi memang benar2 difilmkan "

" Did not think this book was all that great. The plot is good, but the telling of said plot just falls flat. In my opinion the story really goes nowhere, and not a lot of things happen. The main character is introduced as this bad ass former special forces guy, and spy for the CIA. I feel like the entire book is basically him on the sidelines watching the events of the story take place. He beats up two scum bags (a la Jack Bauer) and that is about it. Are we supposed to believe that he is who the author has described him to be? I just did not get him at all. I found myself skimming a lot in the book. I even skipped right over the last 100 pages and read the last couple of chapters. I decided to skip over the main character saving the President from this lethal assassin because I just did not care enough about the story or characters. This is really a 1 star book but I gave it 2 stars because of the ending. The story continues in the next book but I am not ready to jump into it yet. "

" this guy really knows his job.. "

" Never heard of this author. Just found him by chance. I am glad I did. Good book "

" ok. typical secret govt agency saving the US from terrorism. "

" Pretty boring. Cannot remember reading this, even after reviewing the synopsis. It is on my list of completed books, though. "

" Very good book. I enjoyed it. It was a real page turner. Kept my heart pumping throughout the whole book. I wasn't going to bed until I finished it tonight. Not sure if there's a sequel but he left it open for one. I'll have to look into it. "

" Comments in the back of the book described it as Vince Flynn-like, and it's true. Plot to murder the president and two other leaders of foreign countries. Yada...yada...yada... "

" This was a fantastic thriller in the veins of the older Tom Clancy books or early Vince Flynn. Like most thrillers, there are several ridiculous plot lines but overall, very well written. "

" Started out to hoacky but in the end it reframed itself "

" Excellent start. Looking forward to more of Ryan Kealey. "

" Decent spy-type page-turner involving an American Al-Quida agent and a plot to assassinate the president. "

" This was one of my favorite spy books. I was saddened to learn of the young authors death. I highly recommend this book. "

" Good book with lots of action. Certainly made for a sequel! "

" I loved this book. It was so exciting and I totally didn't know what was going to happen. "

" abridged version left a lot out - but still good story "

" Pretty good read. The writing should only get better. "

" Read 129 pages - couldn't get into it. The first attack was gripping, but afterward it did not hold my attention. Won't finish it. "

" I didn't like Naomi, other than her the book was gripping! "

" Too soon departed, Andrew was destined for a brilliant future. "

" Britton is no Tom Clancy, but this was a good read. pretty predictable at times. "

" I don't normally read many spy thrillers, but I really enjoyed this one and will probably read more. "

" Semi-mindless but fun reading about a CIA agent trying to chase down the pupil-turned-nemesis. I bought it to read during a flight, and that's exactly the kind of reading it was. "

" Read via book on CD. 3.5 stars. Liked the author's writing style and story was engaging, but not a fan of the ending. However, plan to read the other Ryan Kealey books in the series that were done before the author passed away prematurely. "

" Typical for this genre...entertaining but not fulfulling "

" I read a lot of these books - spy, thriller, shot 'em up books. This one took me awhile to get into, which isn't normally the case. But once I got into it, I enjoyed it. At the end of the book I wanted to read the second one, which is always a good sign. "

" Anyone who likes this type of book should try reading Vince Flynn first as his books are pretty much just like this one but more suspenseful. Andrew Britton doesn't do too bad of a job here but I've definitely read better counterterrorism thriller books. "

" An ex-U.S. Delta Force vet is now an Al-Qaeda terrorist and is doing some really nasty things. A CIA operative, Ryan Kealy, is tasked to stop him. The ending was disappointingly predictable. This is Britton's first effort and he is now working on a sequel. "

" I enjoyed this book for the story but I really really wish that it didn't have such bad language. "

" A pretty good read, exciting most of the time. A very unconcerting scenario presented in the plot. I liked it overall. "

" Terrorist plot against U.S. leaders. Likable CIA maverick Ryan Kealey teams with ex-MI6 operative to get the bad guys. Reminescent of Brad Thor's Scot Harvath. "
