I first want to thank Netgalley , Brilliance Publishing and Amazon for allowing me to listen to this Audiobook in exchange for an honest review.
I have only read one other Lee Child Book. It was part the Reacher series. I was curious what this new book would be like. This book was an interesting take on a Political Thriller/ Espionage type of book. Involving a Mathematics professor from the US sent on a mission to solve an Algorithm. During this short stories there was some twists in that in order to perform the mission Professor Tyler needed to get in trouble to actually get behind enemy lines so to speak.

This story read like a spy thriller it was well written and kept the fast thriller pace in its short story format. For a first time short story I would give it 4 stars. I kind of wish it was a little longer and that the ending allowed this to launch into a series where professor Tyler continues to help the US Government as a spy type with the CIA or some other Alphabet Agency.

An undeniably propulsive, ingenious thriller that follows a mathematician named Nathan Tyler. Nathan is about to attend a conference in Moscow where tensions are running high and Americans have been issued an advisory. However it's the call of the White House. And now as their plan is executed, certain events could forfeit their own moves.

His task is to meet the genius Russian mathematician and get the relevant information. Until things begin to take a different shape. Will Nathan be able to save himself and complete the mission?

I absolutely devoured this book. It was pulse pounding and the plot execution is masterfully crafted. The twists and mounting tensions between trust, uncertainties and negotiations were suspenseful and intriguing. Lee Child's books are always a welcome relief of fast-paced narration and high stakes anticipation. And this book certainly checks the box for being a riveting and enthralling thriller.

I'd really recommend Eleven Numbers to all the thrill seekers and spy fiction enthusiasts.
