Before Prophet Drews can have a future, he must first put his past to rest. Prophet is a man on the edge, and he’s pulling Tom Boudreaux, his partner on the job and in life, right over with him. When his old CO calls in a favor, Prophet asks Tom to join the off-the-grid rescue. But the mission raises all of Prophet’s old ghosts: CIA assassins, the terrorist Sadiq, and, most importantly, John – traitor, former teammate, and Prophet’s first love.
To help bury those ghosts for good, Prophet and Tom gather the members of Prophet’s former SEAL team…and a spook named Cillian who’s been tailing Prophet for years. In the process, Prophet is forced to face his team’s shifting loyalties, ghosts who refuse to stay dead, and, scariest of all, his own limitations.
With everyone’s lives in danger, Prophet and Tom must unravel a tangled knot of secrets, including their own. Prophet must decide how much to reveal to Tom while Tom must decide how far he’s willing to go to help Prophet lay his ghosts to rest.
REVIEW:
Let me start off by saying How Much I Love These Books. I’m waiting not so damn patiently for the next book(s) in the series and it’s been quite some time. BIG HINT!!
It’s nice to get back into the storylines and the characters in this series and be put right back into the headspace of these characters.
Prophet is going through some stuff, let’s be real…Prophet’s life hasn’t been easy and it still isn’t easy. I like that fact that for Prophet, there is nothing he can do but fight. Prophet is not only dealing with this whole John thing…he’s also dealing with the fact that he’s going blind. He knows that it’s going to happen and the symptoms are coming more frequently. Prophet has to find a way to deal with the fact that he’s got people in his life who love him and would do anything for him.
Tom…damn I Love this guy. I love everything about him. I love how he feels about Prophet. I love that he’d do ANYTHING for him. I love that Tom is this really fierce about the people that he cares for. I really like the way that he’s stood up for Prophet and what he thinks is the treatment he’s rec’d from people that were supposed to care about him. I love that Tom is really finding his footing from when we first met him in the series. He’s way more confident and self-assured. I love that he’s grown so much and truly trusts and depends on Prophet. That he knows that for him…Prophet is the real deal and he’d do anything for him. I really like how Tom has stepped up to the plate and show that he’s more than just a pretty face. He’s dangerous in his own right and it was really nice to see him get down and dirty.
I have to say that once the story got started, it was really hard to stop listening when people or you know…work started to get in the way. It’s hard to be polite when you want to tell people to leave you alone because your boys are getting into some action and you don’t want to be disturbed. Trust me on this, as I got the look from my boss to be nice and stop giving people the evil eye when they spoke to me.
This audiobook has lots of action, suspense and romance that just kept you so invested in the story that I was sorry to hear it end and to know…that it’s over for now for these guys. I won’t see them again until a re-read or the next book comes out. So, I treasured every word spoken and got carried away on the continuing journeys of Prophet and Tom.
Narration:
Adam North is a new to me narrator and I have to say that for these audiobooks, he’s done a really great job. It took me a few minutes to get used to how each character “spoke”. The melody in which he spoke was really well done. I never felt that he rushed thru the story, he kept such good timing and the flow of his voice really just sucked me in.
I loved the accents done for both Tom and Cillian. Accents are hard to get across if not done correctly and I think that Adam Nailed Them.
I can’t wait to hear the next book done by Adam and hopefully he’ll have a great career in narration as he has a fan in me.
