The Spy

The Jed Walker Series, Book 1

By: James Phelan

Narrated by: Rob Shapiro

Jed Walker is the man you want watching your back.

A sinister group—code-named Zodiac—has launched a series of devastating global attacks. Twelve targets across the world, twelve code-named missions. Operating distinct sleeper cells, they are the ultimate terrorist organization, watching and waiting for a precise moment to activate the next group. It’s 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. 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. And he’s got exactly eighty-one hours until deadline.

Constant flipping of scenes is difficult

The story could be good, but listening to it and following along so you catch all the detail is hard because the author changes scenes many times in a chapter. One moment two people are talking on the phone and two paragraphs later a different pair of people are running through town. It could have been a little more organized I guess but Shapiro narrating it helps tremendously. Might get the next book, still debating.
