Private Sector

Sean Drummond Series, Book 4

By: Brian Haig

Narrated by: Joe Barrett

Wherever Sean Drummond goes, it seems that the JAG officer leaves a trail of political fallout in his wake. So when his superiors get an opportunity to loan him to a prestigious law firm, they jump on it, hoping he'll soak up the nuances of civilian lawyering. But almost immediately, dark clouds appear when Sean's predecessor in the loan-out program is murdered. Then Sean begins to sense something amiss with the firm's biggest client, a telecom behemoth with large defense contracts. Now, he must survive in D.C.'s buttoned-down lawyer culture long enough to stop the killer, and long enough to discover why his firm and its top client are willing to kill anyone who gets in their way.

Critic reviews

"In his previous Drummond novels, Haig proved he could compete on the espionage front with the likes of Ken Follett; with this outing, he matches David Baldacci for Beltway intrigue." ( Booklist)

Excellent storyline!!

Just when you think you have it figured out the story takes a turn in a different direction.

Bravo Brian Haig!

I don’t know how he does it. Of course, as a career military man, it is understandable how he has his finger on the pulse of all things army… But he was not a jag officer, and yet, coming from a soldier who was (As well as a special operations officer with both special forces tab and the Ranger tab) He sure hits the nail on the head when it comes to Sean Drummond. The insouciant wit of Major Drummond, the clever repartee, and the self effacing asides, make him one of my favorite action heroes. Naturally, for any of the thrill genre, one must suspend a degree of belief, nonetheless, Haig stays within the lane of “it could happen“ without too many swerves into oncoming traffic. As a mild criticism, I don’t believe I’ll ever get used to Joe Barretts voice As the guy behind Sean Drummond,but hats off to him with his other voices. He did a particularly good job with the female English secretary. One of those books I regret came to an end.

Drummond goes Corporate!

Interesting twists usual good humor and of course anothercomp l.j updated mb ess to sort out as only Drummond can! Enjoyed very much.

Brian Haig's relentless wit forced me laugh out loud in the most embarrassing moments.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The lead character, Sean Drummond, though sharing some fairly predictable traits with central characters of my most favorite series, excels in humor. Of course, Joe Barrett's timing delivers masterfully.

Which scene was your favorite?

After about a half hour of thought, I can't single out one scene. It is all hugely entertaining.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

That would be a delicious opportunity.
