Titus Ray Thriller book 0.5
by Luana Ehrlich
-From Goodreads- CIA intelligence officer Titus Ray tries to recruit a nuclear scientist in Tehran. Days later, he goes on the run from the secret police. Titus Ray has been in Iran for the past two years trying to recruit assets willing to feed him intel on the Iranian opposition. When he unexpectedly meets Amir Madani, one of Iran's premier nuclear scientist, he can't resist the opportunity to pursue him as a CIA asset. Although Chaman, a beautiful Iranian socialite, warns Titus to stay away from Madani, he ignores her advice and befriends the nuclear scientist. The consequences prove disastrous for Titus, and, as the secret police close in on him, he's forced to find shelter with a group of Iranian Christians, who risk their own lives to save his. One Step Back, a Titus Ray Thriller novella, is the prequel to One Night in Tehran, Book I in the Titus Ray Thriller Series. ASIN: B07C8FRL5R Can he stay alive long enough? I've actually heard a fair bit about the Titus Ray Thriller series but up until now I'd not read any of them myself. One Step Back was different from pretty much any other suspense novel that I've either read or listened to. Sure, there were plenty of similarities but this was the first one that I've ever read set entirely in modern day Iran with an embedded CIA agent as the hero. The narrative style was also a bit unusual in tone. Oh, and it shot holes in a few stereotypes that I must have unwittingly believed. | This Book received a 3.5 Bark rating. |
Overall the audiobook production seemed to be all right. There was a little background something in a small section but that was pretty much it. And I am so glad that they chose a male narrator for this audiobook! It made the listening experience so much better! In my opinion One Step Back was a quick, but good, introduction to Luana Ehrlich's Titus Ray Thriller series.
