The Kingmaker

Sean Drummond Series, Book 3

By: Brian Haig

Narrated by: Joe Barrett

"Listen, Drummond, your client betrayed this country in ways too horrible to contemplate..."

In the history of espionage, there's never been one like him. But Major Sean Drummond never says die. Especially when an old flame begs him to defend her brigadier general husband in the biggest treason case in US history. And even when Drummond is up against the fiercest prosecutor in the Army and fighting two murder charges. With an unconventional and beautiful co-counsel, Drummond plunges into an investigation that will unearth a damning array of secrets and cover-ups - and reveal a master manipulator who doesn't care who or what goes up in flames - as long as Drummond's client burns.

Critic reviews

"Haig seems to get better with each book, and Drummond is a marvelously imperfect hero." (Library Journal)

Surprisingly enjoyable

The humor mixed with the inside information was a very fun read!! Loved the characters- Mr Haig does a great job!

Sean Drummond is forever bucking the big shots

This is the third book in the Sean Drummond series. I am so glad that this has finally been done on Audible. As with the other books in this series it has nail biting tension, action, humor, sarcasm and a Great espionage story. Brian Haig is in my opinion the best author for this genre. I am really hoping that since the series is being filled in that maybe he will begin actively writing again.
Joe Barrett does an excellent job narrating. His timing is perfect and he gets where to emphasize, especially the sarcasm.
This book is MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Thank You.

humor! Wonderful narrator

it was an interesting plot sprinkled with such humor. The narration was perfect. I highly recommend it.

As a “tabbed out” retired JAG and...love...

Certainly one of VERY few, I love Sean Drummond and Brian Haig’s witty, insouciant cynicism. Clearly the West Point Graduate and son of Alexander Haig knows his business and his clever, sarcastic protagonist always makes me grin. OK...Major Drummond’s Body Count might be higher than SEAL Team 6, but he otherwise keeps things within the realm of believability and as someone who has been there and done that, HIGHLY recommend. I intend to read them all. Although the narrator’s voice doesn’t quite dovetail with my estimation of Major Drummond, he does a First Class Job with character accents and voices. Nice job!

This was a lot of fun… but…

The book was a lot of fun… although credulity was stretched thin.
The narrator is great, but his Russian accent sounded more like he came from Cyprus.
Nevertheless… worth a listen.
