Summary

 The latest thriller from bestselling author, Andy McDermott. For fans of Tom Clancy and Matthew Reilly.

Adam Gray is the ultimate spy... As the lead agent of the US government's top-secret Persona project, he is its most valuable weapon in the War on Terror. Experimental technology enables him to take on the personality - and memories - of anyone; be it a Russian arms dealer, a high-stakes gambler or a nuclear scientist. Whatever secrets they know, he knows.

But the most dangerous secrets of all... are his own.

When Adam hunts a terrorist plotting to murder millions, he begins to realise that, although he can delve into the minds of others, his own memories are a mystery. Hidden in his past is the key to a deadly conspiracy - and its masterminds will stop at nothing to conceal their crimes...

I didn't have any expectations on this book and I was pleasantly surprised to notice that I liked this book better story wise than the other books from the same author. I enjoyed listening the book and I wish there was another with the same characters.

Much more entertaining than I expected

Although I've been a member for some time mainly due to not cancelling my trial, this is the first book I've finished! couldn't put it down. I'ts encouraged me to catch up on the many unread books in my collection.
Well read by Tim.

Gripping!

Overall a good story albeit a bit long.
The performance by Bianca was disappointing. The majority of English speaking people do not have an accent like that portrayed.

A good book but.....

Would you listen to The Persona Protocol again? Why?

It's a good action romp

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes- if I ever had 16hrs non-stop available .

Any additional comments?

If you can suspend disbelief & buy into the book's conceit then this is a great action romp. The idea is that US intelligence has invented a device that can transfer all the memories, attitudes & thoughts I.E 'the Persona' of any individual, into the mind of a specially trained agent, then use the info obtained to thwart terrorism etc.

I've read the other reviews, many of which ridicule the Narrator. I say, give him some latitude, he did a pretty good job considering the challenges he confronted.Yes his 'English PhD woman Chemist' voice ( & a major character ) was rather 'lady Penelope from thunder-birds' but ,sadly, quite a lot of her lines were 'oh gosh! or similar even though she is a gal with balls. More importantly he had to convey, Russian, Afghan &Pakistani accents in variety as American. There is a big cast of Northern, Southern, Black, white, Young, old Junior, powerful, sympathetic & unlikable characters etc to differentiate. I reckon he did a pretty good job as I always knew who was speaking.

The criticism from others that the hero's voice changed each time he had a new 'persona' implanted seems to miss the point of the book/device. When our hero has absorbed the foreign persons brain then, of course, he will speak/sound as well as thinking like them until he returns to normal/himself. If his team hear him speaking differently then so should we.
Go for it! I had fun & was gripped. Who doesn't want the good guys to prevail?....but who are the good & who are the bad?.

Jolly good Spy-Fi

Enjoyable to listen too but the story of planting someone mind into another person, can it be done. I feel that it may have runs its course with the main story line but the main character, must be inline for another book or two.

James Bond, I’m not
