Publisher's summary

In a world violated by terror, the old lines have blurred. Meet the next generation of covert ops.

John Dempsey's life - as an elite Tier One Navy SEAL named Jack Kemper - is over. A devastating terrorist action catapults him from a world of moral certainty and decisive orders into the shadowy realm of espionage, where ambiguity is the only rule. His new mission: hunt down those responsible for the greatest tragedy in the history of the US Special Ops and bring them to justice.

But how does a man torn between duty and revenge walk the line and preserve his soul?

As Dempsey struggles with the games of spies, the case propels him across the globe in a desperate effort to prevent a new, horrifying attack on American soil.

Once, John Dempsey followed orders blindly. Now he sees behind the curtain, and the security of the civilized world rests on one question: Can a Tier One Navy SEAL adapt and become the world's most lethal spy?

Action-packed and a compelling story line

After listening to series' such as from Brad Thor, Mark Greaney, and David Baldacci, I was looking for another series that would sweep me away. This is it. I also love Ray Porter as narrator. He makes the story all the more worth listening to rather than reading.

Better the second time around

I guess the old timers is really getting to me. I didn’t remember listening to this book. As I relistened, it started coming back.

Rat Porter is in my top five so that part is easy..

The characters were all pretty good. The storyline was believable. What more can be said? On to book 2

Great story, excellent narrator!

Although I am new to the military universe, so I may not have that much experience to review a book like this, I enjoyed the story enough to search more from the authors. Ray Porter is great, I could easily feel the characters through his different voices.

Sometimes great, sometimes....

Enjoyed the book, however they need to refine their style, too much he said she said, we already know who is in the conversation especially after 8 hours, will get next one though so I guess here we go again...

Fantastic book

The author does a terrific job building this story.. This book is very hard to put down.very chapter. This book is filled with action, character-building, and just the right amount of detail to pull the listener into the book. Ray Porter does a superb job with narration. This is the best Audible book I have listened too. I will immediately begin listening to the follow-on book.

No magic show - just the real deal.....

Incredibly insightful book on the special operations group as a whole. No magical beings of any sort – just rough and tough mobile operators. Showing both sides of the operational world and the infiltration of time honored spy tactics... and this is coming from a former military personnel.....

Great page turner!

Loved it. Very realistic. This narrator was awesome. I could easily see this mission coming from the Pentagon.
