Dark State (Dramatized Adaptation)

Jason Trapp, Book 1

By: Jack Slater

Narrated by: full cast

If you come after the CIA’s most feared assassin, there’s one cardinal rule: Don’t miss.

America is under attack. Thousands lie dead after simultaneous strikes across the country. The day will come to be known as Bloody Monday.

Jason Trapp, codename ‘Hangman’, was a covert operative whose feats became the stuff of legend. He was the tip of the spear—the man his country unleashed when all hope was lost.

Six months ago, someone sold him out. The Agency listed him as killed in action. He lost everything—and everyone—he held dear.

But Trapp’s not that easy to kill. As his country reels from the deadliest terrorist attacks it has ever witnessed, Trapp’s personal vendetta leads him right back to where he started: duty to his country. The violence, the terror, the assassination of his partner… It’s all connected.

And now the Hangman is coming for the guilty.

Adapted from the novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music!

Hell of a first Start

Honestly went into this as just a listen to while working. Ended up buying all the way to book 5. The story is about what you'd expect from a high budget Hollywood movie with excellent voice cast.
If your wanting a high action with a thrilling story this is the book and even series for you

Movie for Your Mind

Really enjoyed the dramatized adaptation and how it enhances the visually descriptive elements. The combination of the storyline, writing style, and unique performance made this surprisingly one of my favorites.

Weak

I found the dramatization quite annoying. You just need one person like Ray Porter who could do all the voices quite distinctly. Did not find Jason trap to be a particularly compelling hero, and in general didn’t really even like the story
