Tony Wolf/Tim Buckthorn, Book 1

By: J.D. Rhoades

Narrated by: George Newbern

An undercover FBI agent has been exposed—while a traitor hides within the Bureau in this heart-pounding crime thriller by “a knock-em-dead writer” (Anthony Neil Smith, author of Slow Bear).

Tony Wolf, a troubled man and the FBI’s most esteemed undercover agent, is back after mysteriously vanishing without a trace. A specialist at infiltrating criminal organizations and taking them down from the inside, he lives his life in the shadows.

But when he’s forced into the open during the rescue of two kidnapped children, Wolf becomes caught up in a massive federal manhunt. Faced with a traitorous agent and a ruthless, renegade biker gang he has crossed paths with before, Wolf finds himself in danger. And when he realizes that the double agent is helping the gang, Wolf sets out on a lethal mission to uncover the truth, no matter the cost.

George Newburn Is Great

George Newburn makes all books and genres better.
I will always listen to anything he narrates.

unfolding intrigue, that's what I wanted to say but you want 15-word minimum

I say what I had to say above I mean I think it's a shame to be penalized for going 15 words I keep talking and I still see the 15 word minimum down there so what else do you want me to add

Great narrator

Grounded, connected performance. Ability to play a range of characters with nuance. Pacing was spot on.

Once again a flawless performance

Not for the weak heart as the story contains fairly gore details and the narration is so well executed that you’re completely immersed into the story and can smell, see and feel each event.

Pretty predictable, simplistic dialog

George Newbern's performance was good, as usual, but the story itself was pretty weak. Extremely predictable, and the dialogue from the police officers, especially the FBI, I thought was juvenile. I just didn't believe the authenticity of any of the characters or the story, so I stopped listening about halfway through.
