The President of the United States is involved in the death of a woman of questionable character, and a thief witnesses the whole unsavory act. Following in its wake is a cover-up of enormous proportions, and a strain of people fighting for their lives and freedom.

I always have a difficult time reviewing audiobooks, probably because I am always doing other things while listening to them. So there is a big "distraction factor". However let me first say that this narrator was unbelievable! His voice held my attention, he didn't overplay the female voices in a cheesy sugar-sweet fashion as some male narrators may do. He had great inflection. I really enjoyed him as a narrator!

This book/audiobook has a great, complex storyline. It twists and turns, keeping me on the edge of my seat, never quite knowing where it will go next.

One drawback was that there were so many characters that I had a hard time keeping track of them via audio. However someone not so distracted while listening to the audiobook will probably have an easier time keeping up with everyone.

I loved this audiobook. Great storyline, great narrator, great audiobook overall.

Read this for the first time since I was about 12, loved it! The action is fantastic and the dialogue is funny. Slightly childish, maybe, but I'm a sucker for superhero stuff :P
