Dragonfly

By: Tom Lowe

Narrated by: Michael David Axtell

Sean O’Brien knows that his close friend, Dave Collins, isn’t a man who asks for favors. After three decades as a CIA officer, Collins learned self-reliance from the best school in the world - the streets. However, after five years out of the agency, he stops looking over his shoulder.

And then the assassinations begin.

One by one. Five of the CIA’s best former officers. Dave Collins’ old colleagues. Local police can’t protect retired CIA officers from ghosts of their past.

Dave’s life is on the line, and they are coming for him. Ghosts don’t leave tracks. They leave bodies. But to get close enough to kill Collins, they’ll have to get through one man who also learned survival from the streets and combat - Sean O’Brien. Dave Collins has been there for O’Brien.

And now it’s time to return the favor.

Good

The story is good and most of the time the narration is as well. In the last book I remember there was a place name mispronounced and the same happens here. However, I would trade an occasional mispronounced name if in the last two books there was not a new narrator. I am very familiar with Tarpon Springs since it is about 30 minutes from where I live. The mispronounced Tarpon was driving me a little nutty. Twists and turns and an interesting story.

Great series!

I have listened to all of this set except the last. I will start that today. Then I will have to wait for MERMAID to come out in audible.
Hope there will be many more. Love Tom Lowe and Axtell.

Excellent read

A fast paced, engaging book. I love the characters in this series and how the author continues to make them evolve, helping the reader get to know them better.

Revenge Best Served Cold

See Shellys review for good in-depth details. This was on the two for one member sale. Great use of a credit to listen to a good narrator. Sins of the father are the focal point of this adventure mystery. Love every scene little Maxine is in. I thought this was a little longer than I personally like. The moral of the story, never give up.
Were my comments of help?

Terrorist PayBack

I have been a big fan of Tom Lowe and Sean O'Brian from the beginning of the series. This is my first audio version and found it quite satisfying. The story revolves around a threat to the life of Dave, one of Sean's good friends who lives at the marina shared by Sean. An ex CIA operative, Dave's past catches up with him as a seemingly middle eastern terrorists is out to assassinate Dave and his former associates. As Sean gets involved, a well paced story moves along at an enjoyable pace.

My one minor complaint about the listen was Mr. Axtell's incorrect pronunciation of Tarpon Springs, a city I once inhabited. He insisted on calling it "Tar Pawn Springs" instead of the the correct "Tar PIN Springs" throughout the listen. I cringed every time I heard it said. If Mr. Axtell continues with the audio versions of Tom Lowe's work, I would advise him to investigate correct pronunciations of the area. Many are quite different than what they appear phonetically.
