Resumen del Editor

Tucked away in a remote corner of North Carolina's Fort Bragg, behind rows of razor wire and heavily armed guards, lies the headquarters of the nation's most elite counter-terrorism unit: the United States Army's 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment Delta. Here, a brilliant new approach to combating terrorism has just been born. Its codename: The Athena Project.

The novels will follow an elite team of female warriors from their recruitment as top-level athletes, through their training, to their deployment on some of the most exciting and dangerous international assignments the fiction world has ever seen.

Brad Thor's listeners will be electrified as he employs his vast knowledge of covert operations and military intrigue to bring to life his most heart-pounding, globe-trotting thrillers yet.

Lack luster

If your a Brad Thor fan this particular book slightly misses the Mark. Definitely not his best book. I still enjoyed the story as it's a necessity to continue the complete series. I prefer to read the actual books and allow the characters to develop in my own mind, however, I could only find an audio version. The narrator was extremely painful to listen to.

Anticlimactic Ending

This book was definitely exciting and it held my attention. However, the exposition was odd because it started with its focus on a character that you don't see again anywhere in the book. The ending was totally abrupt and rather anticlimactic. Had I actually read the whole thing (rather than listened to it on a long plane ride), I think I would have felt as if I had wasted my time... Good story but I'd rank the actual writing structure as a 1 (out of 5).

A Different Direction

Would you listen to The Athena Project again? Why?

Yes, the story is similar but with the twist of female operatives and thus new characters

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Athena Project?

The interaction of the "man's comand" being pushed by women doing a job without the typical chain of comand

What about Elizabeth Marvel’s performance did you like?

Good control of voices for specific characters makes it easy to know who is talking

Who was the most memorable character of The Athena Project and why?

can't pick one over the cast

Great read.

We need more Athena team books. I love the tough and smart lady Delta team.

nice

a male voice is better for this series with all due respect I have heard some awesome stories narrated by ladies but this subject is more appealing with males. thank you very good thiugh

Great book

Went a different way with this one, I was pleasantly surprised. It doesn't compare to Scott as the lead character, but it was still good.

Different but good

while this is not a Scott Harvath book, it is still a good story. Lots of action and twists and turns. Definitely a good read for any Brad Thor fan.

Only okay

This was an okay listen, although it seemed pretty formulaic. The "all ladies team" was an interesting idea, but the author's understanding of how women interact with each other is very, very limited. The story was fine and the narration was fine. One thing: although this is unabridged, it sounds abridged to me. It has odd little jumps and if it truly is unabridged, then it has some editing issues.

It's not terrible

Its alright, but I definitely agree with some other reviews that have suggested Brad stick with keeping his main character as male. (Scot Harvath)

Reader

I do not care for a woman reader! It reminds me when my wife wanted me to listen to 50 shades of grey. 🤮
