This was the first of this series I've read. If there was a negative star rating, he would be at the bottom. I have well over audiobooks and listen to them continuously while I travel. Unfortunately the story of this book was very good but the narrative and intonation by the reader was so distracting that I ended up turning it off multiple times before finishing it. Need to hear more of this series using a different reader This book is action packed but with a new twist of revealing the innermost feelings of Colin, which makes him more real and complex.
The details are so precise that you can visualize everything—it instills a sense familiarity and makes you feel you as though you are there. As with the Viper, Cabo and Satan contract books, new characters, places, relationships and dire situations are introduced as the plot develops.
This book is an enjoyable, easy read and will keep you intrigued until from beginning to end. Their accent left it hard to follow. Took a while to get going but was entertaining.

In this saga, Pearce battles a Russian sniper who systematically takes out one world leader or business tycoon after another.
While doing so, Pearce confronts the dark side of his own nature as he survives one aerial combat scene after another. Narrator Randall Rocke delivers another stellar performance as he switches between male and female voices, speaks in the accents of various countries and cultures and maintains the high energy voice quality necessary for this action packed story.
What made the experience of listening to The Shadow Contract the most enjoyable? I wanted to keep listening to it for hours so that I could find out the ending. The narrator did an excellent job! The story was very suspenseful and the aerial scenes kept me on the edge of my seat. I also enjoyed the description of feelings that T.

As Pearce flies him back and forth to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, he learns the mysterious Saudi appears to be building an alliance with the head of the largest drug cartel in Mexico and Pearce stumbles upon a plot to assassinate the Vice-President of the United States and infect large portions of the west coast with a lethal biological agent.
