The Spy

The Jed Walker Series Book 1

By: James Phelan

Narrated by: Adrian Mulraney

A sinister group – code-named Zodiac – has launched devastating global attacks. Twelve targets across the world, twelve code-named missions.

Operating distinct sleeper cells, they are the ultimate terrorist organisation, watching and waiting for a precise attack to activate the next group. It is a frightening and deadly efficient way to stay one step ahead. And cause the most chaos.

For ex-CIA operative Jed Walker, chaos is his profession. On the outer, burned by his former agency, he is determined to clear his name. Stopping Zodiac is the only way. Desperate to catch the killers and find the mastermind, he can't afford to lose the next lead, but that means that sometimes the terrorists have to win.

Ultimately, it all comes down to Walker: he's the only one who can break the chain and put the group to sleep . . . permanently. It's exactly eighty-one hours until deadline.

Spy thriller

Fast moving spy thriller. Ends on a cliff-hanger, of course. Jeb Walker is an interesting character. Not a "must-hear" but I'd listen to more in the series.

Actually it's very,very good.

Much better than I expected and that is not saying enough about how much I enjoyed this novel.

Terrible Performance

I think it is a good novel, but its difficult to get through with this narrator. His Australian accent does not go well with the storyline and he mispronounced too many words to count. I get pulled out of the story too often with this guy. I wish the rest of the books were done by someone else. Not sure I will make it through this series, and thats sad because the writer did his job well.

This is a tough one. Strong story poor performer.

I struggled every minute. stopped listening 3 or 4 times. I'm glad I finished, but if the same performer does the rest of the series, I'm done.

Smart yet stupid hero. The Nicolas Sparks of the action genre

Walker is so smart then he miles the most stupid mistakes. He doesn’t tell anyone around him what’s going on and wants to be the lone hero. The problem is, if he had told heather story, there would be no story. It was an agonizing read. The plot contrived and made no sense. Dead bodies line up without any repercussions. The bad guy killing people with efficiency but dies to a tied up man...The ending was awful. I know he wants to sell more books but it added insult to injury.

I won’t buy anymore of this guy’s books
