WOW...my first David Slaton Assassins' series and it was awesome....i mean AWESOME!!!Right from the very beginning I was drawn in and the action didn't stop. I had the pleasure of listening to the Audio and I can't say enough about it other than I will go and read all the Ward Larsen books I can. 5 Gold Stars from start to finish. I can't wait for the next one.

4.25 Stars ⭐️

This is another series that I have loved from the very beginning. We have followed David Slaton and his family through thick and thin and let's just say that he has not always gotten the best end of the deal (and that is after giving his everything, and almost his life for the United States many, many times).

David was an assassin. He started off with Mossad and through the various situations, has ended up as an "off the books" contractor for the CIA. As we have come to find out, the CIA is not known for its loyalty and would have gladly left him out to dry several times if not for his CIA handler.

This book has a terrorist attack that almost kills the President and they have to invoke the 25th Amendment while she is in the hospital. No one knows if she is going to pull through or not. At the same time, there is tremendous pressure to find and take out the group that those in charge think is responsible - The Trident. David is chosen, then threatened, then pretty much blackmailed to take the job. Things take off from there.

As usual, there is non stop action, major drama, some betrayal and definite intrigue. There is a mole somewhere and somewhere VERY high up in the US government. Can they figure out who before he is the one who is eliminated?

I was awarded the Audio ARC, so I listened to this completely on audio. P. J. Ochlan has been the narrator since around the third book in the series and he did his usual good job with the narration.
I found myself definitely immersed as David ends up trapped in enemy territory....but no spoilers...

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to listen and review this ARC. The opinions above are mine and mine alone.
