So, listen up folks! Prepare to be blown away by this electrifying international thriller. Written by none other than Sean McFate and Bret Witter, and narrated by the talented Jeffrey Kafer and Peter Berkrot, this audiobook is a rollercoaster ride you don't want to miss. Now, let's get into the nitty-gritty.
Our protagonist, Tom Locke, is no ordinary guy. He's an elite American mercenary working for Apollo Outcomes, the crème de la crème of private contracting firms. This dude knows his stuff when it comes to military and international affairs, let me tell you. But things are about to get real interesting for Locke.
Pulled out of his mission in Libya, Locke finds himself embarking on an unusual and risky assignment: a top secret black op in none other than Ukraine. His mission? To rescue an oligarch's family and execute a monumental assault that could change the fate of not only Eastern Europe but also the entire world. No pressure, right?
But hold your horses, my friends. This operation doesn't come without its fair share of complications. Enter Brad Winters, Locke's ambitious and mysterious boss. Winters is playing a high-stakes geopolitical chess game, one that involves some seriously influential power players. And let me tell you, one misstep could cost these guys everything, including their lives.
Locke, being the badass that he is, has meticulously planned this mission and hand-picked a team of trusted operatives. He's ready to take on anything that comes his way, or so he thinks. Little does he know that fate has a surprise in store for him.
In the midst of this high-octane mission, Locke crosses paths with his former flame, Alie MacFarlane. As a war correspondent, this lady knows how to take risks, and boy, does she make a move that puts both their lives in danger. Talk about adding a whole new level of excitement to an already adrenaline-fueled tale.
Locke may be a master at pulling off the impossible, but even he can't anticipate the betrayal and deception that lie ahead. The stakes are high, my friends, and if things go south, the balance of power could shift in favor of none other than Putin's Russia. Yeah, you heard me right.
