About this listen

In remote pockets of the Third World, a deadly virus is quietly sweeping through impoverished farming villages and shanty towns with frightening speed and potency. Meanwhile, in Washington, a three-word message left in a safe-deposit box may be the key to stopping the crisis - if, that is, Charles Mallory, a private intelligence contractor and former CIA operative, can decipher the puzzle before time runs out.

What Mallory begins to discover are the traces of a secret war with a bold objective - to create a new, technologically advanced society. With the help of his brother Jon, an investigative reporter, can he break the story to the world before it is too late - before a planned "humane depopulation" takes place?

As the stakes and strategies of this secret war become more evident, the Mallory brothers find themselves in a complex game of wits with an enemy they can’t see: a new sort of superpower led by a brilliant, elusive tactician who believes that ends justify means.

I struggled to start this, let alone finish it.....but I did. The rather unexciting start, followed by a mediocre middle and a tedious end, read by an uninspiring narrator, killed anything this had to offer.
If it comes up as a daily deal or a freebee it would do as wallpaper whilst you're painting a ceiling or mowing the lawn but don't waste a credit or £7.99.

Dull, Dull, Dull

I didn't have a problem with the narration, I thought Berkrot quite good actually.

You didn’t love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?

None that I can see.

Any additional comments?

Can I get a refund please?

Boring.
