Publisher's summary

A team of military contractors fights for its life in this high-adrenaline, full-cast drama from Mark Greaney, author of the Audible and New York Times best-selling Gray Man series.

Josh Duffy is staring into the abyss.

A decorated army veteran turned military contractor, his last mission went sideways, leaving him badly injured and his career derailed. Now, he’s working as a mall cop, trying to keep his family one step ahead of the bill collectors.

So when a chance at redemption - and a big pay day - comes his way, Duff eagerly jumps in.

The job - to ride shotgun on a motorcade of heavily armed and armored vehicles as they roll into Mexico’s cartel country. The mission - to find a notorious drug lord and bring him to the negotiating table with the Mexican government and the UN.

But Duff’s employer, Armored Saint, has a track record that’s sketchy, at best. And from the moment the motorcade hits the dusty roads, the danger only increases.

It's a suicide run - and for Duff, the violent forces of the cartels may not be the biggest threat.

NOTE: Armored contains scenes of violence and strong language and is intended for mature listeners.

Different approach from the usual Mark G.

Armored was different from the usual Greaney works I have read or listened to. Duff delivers with one leg better than most with two. didn't seem right Jay playing the bad guy, but his demeanor and approach in the beginning sold his role too early for me. having dealt with the same anxiety and disappointment, this listen hits home big time. thanks as always Mark.

THE MOST ENTERTAINING BOOK I'VE LISTENED TO!

I've been an avid listener to Audible for years, and love the Grey Man series... But what a great departure from the standard reading! When is the next one coming out!

Like a movie - except it's an audiobook

Love the action and the performances by the cast. A short story (it's only 5 hours) about a down and out of luck former infantry soldier turned private contractor, taking a job out of desperation that turns out just as you'd think. Oddly enough, the strange dynamics among the characters is not out of the norm for most conventional military units. I suspect the author served or was in close consultation with those that have served. Overall, I enjoyed the action-packed story, set in one of the most dangerous places on the planet: Mexico. The cast's performances, music, and sound effects brings the story to life that isn't always present when performed by a single narrator. My only issue was that sometimes, the characters were drowned out by the sound effects of explosions and gunfire, that to be honest, is perfectly normal in a fire fight. Nonetheless, a exceptionally entertaining audio book from Mark Greaney.

If you want action this is it

First and foremost, this is not a book. It’s more like a made for radio theatrical production. Once you realize that you can settle in and enjoy the story. I found it to be intense and action packed. I truly enjoyed the production.
