"Audio Book. This is really a Tommy Carmellini book but Jake Grafton is in the book a lot so I guess it goes in the Jake Grafton series. Overall a pretty good book, not Carmellini's best but good enough. " — Jake (4 out of 5 stars)
"Audio Book. This is really a Tommy Carmellini book but Jake Grafton is in the book a lot so I guess it goes in the Jake Grafton series. Overall a pretty good book, not Carmellini's best but good enough. "
Dennis Boutsikaris packs his presentation with a dazzling variety of accents and characters of both genders. However, he is at his best as Carmellini. Boutsikaris provides a unique vocal identity with an expression and tempo that match Tommy's wiseacre attitude.
" The story was well developed and drew me into a late night of reading. "
" Yeah, it's got Jake Grafton, and quite a bit of him. Yeah, it's got action. But it just doesn't have the intensity and feel of the best Jake Grafton stories (Under Siege, Final Flight, Hong Kong, Cuba, Liberty, etc.) "
" ok but didn't live up to the first two Carmellini stories, which is a real shame. "
" This was a great spy/intelligence fiction book. I really enjoyed the first person perspective of one of the main characters. "
" Maybe I've just read too many of this kind of book but this one struck me as a plot just ticking along without anything to pull you inot the story. It didn't earn my interest. Not even enough to try to figure out details in the plot. "
" Very good read. I find myself getting more involved in this story than most. I walk away thinking about this one everytime I put the book down. "
" started it, but put it down. Not up to the standards of his previous books. "
" I enjoy this series and really liked this book. There was a good amount of suspense and the characters were well done. The ending was surprising. "
" Action book. The villains did lot of killing. But it seem the good mastermind predicted most of the moves. And the main villain was killed. (OPL) B "
" I am currently listening to this audiobook. "
" Better beginning than usual, ending a little predictable. "

" We enjoyed listening to this on our drive back from Reno. It had a thrilling ending. "
" The last (that I'm aware of) Jake Grafton novel. Decent, and it was nice to catch up with some "old friends," but there really wasn't anything at all new here to make it stand out. "Serviceable" comes to mind. "
" pretty standard. "
" Liars & Thieves "
" This was my first Coonts and will be the first of many. I found it to be riveting, well-plotted, well-written and full of interesting and colorful characters. Well worth your time and effort! "
" I was not impressed with the writing. "
" Enjoyed it very much as a book-on-tape to help the miles go by on a recent road trip. It is not my normal genre to read, but great for keeping one awake. "
" Holes in the plot. Enjoyable but predictable. "
" Excellent book. Some of the names are a bit difficult to follow, but I enjoyed the story and will likely listen again. "
" Not much here but excessive violence. 2 of 10 stars. "
" Pretty good thriller. Coonts is excellent at these kinds of stories. "
" A great escape from the world. I kept having to remember to breathe. Exciting, fast moving techno-thriller. "
" Full of action and suspense! "
" This is a typical but pretty good cia book. "
" This is another in the Jake Grafton series (starts with Flight of the Intruder). It is action packed, fast moving with, of course, violence. There is even some sex. I recommend Stephen Coonts works. "
" Even though fiction, this novel and those of the type make one thing clear, the war on terrorism is a fact of life that is here to stay. "
" A great thriller which keeps you in suspense from the first to the last page. Loved it!! "
" I like this author Just started reading. "
" Good characters, Coonts tends to write very moral characters Carmelini is an exception to this. He's a thief. I love outside protagonists. The 1st person portion of the narration rings true. "
" SOOOOOOOOOOOO boring. I probably stumbled into the middle of a series, but the protagonist was SO lame, it wasn't even worth finishing. Anybody want it? "
" This was a good read. It had a lot of action & it had it's funny parts. This was outside the box from what I usually like to read so it was a nice surprise. "
