Chameleon

A Black Box Ops Thriller

De: Remi Adeleke

Narrado por: Remi Adeleke

"Delivering authentic action from someone who has lived it, Chameleon is on target and scores a direct hit!"—Jack Carr, former Navy SEAL and #1 New York Times bestselling author

From filmmaker, memoirist, and former Navy SEAL Remi Adeleke, on the heels of his featured roles in the box office film Plane and in Fox’s Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, comes the first installment in the pulse-pounding Black Box Thriller series, featuring Nigerian-born and New York-raised Kali Kent and the top-secret Black Box program—perfect for fans of Jack Carr, Mark Greaney, and Brad Taylor.

When a mysterious former South African commando, Lucas Van Groot, begins taking wealthy hostages all over the world, it appears at first to be a typical ransom gambit. However, it soon becomes clear that his “Hostage Inc.” venture is manipulating worldwide stock markets and threatening global economic collapse.

Enter Black Box, the CIA’s elite, secret special operations branch—so surreptitious that not even the Director of CIA is fully privy to the unit’s activities. Black Box is composed of highly skilled agents who perform with precision:

• Chameleons who can transform into myriad characters,
• Ghosts who are specialists in stealth and surveillance,
• Wind operatives who are transportation experts, and
• Aberration agents whose specialty is deep cover for years.

Kali Kent, a Nigerian born and Bronxite Chameleon in the Black Box program, leads the hunt for Van Groot. Tracking this ringleader and his cadre of international criminals, the team discovers the South African mastermind is after a much larger prize and the race is on to prevent a worldwide tragedy.

Along the way, Kali will have to face the demons from his childhood and reflect on his emotional path that made him the Chameleon that he is today.

It’s ok but the narration is terrible

Ok story nothing ground breaking. The narration is just horrible. It’s impossible to follow. They should have had someone other than the author do this one and it would have been more bearable.

Must Read

What an excellent action thrill ride. It was so worth it. I was caught off guard with the way the story would go from childhood to present day. I thoroughly enjoyed it all. The twist and turns were great. And took place at the appropriate times. If you enjoy action thriller with an edge, this is an excellent choice. Looking forward to book 2 in this saga.

Looking for a thrill ride? THIS IS IT!!!

I won't spoil it for anyone, but you'll know this one is special from the beginning. We'll just say the story starts with a nice surprise!

For those that enjoy the author reading their own work, this one is for you! You get to hear this story with the inflection points and the full emotion behind the words since the author himself narrates.

Before this review turns into a book of it's own suffice it to say this is a MUST HAVE in your library!!

Can’t wait for the next one!

Listening to the story feels more like being inside of a movie. Great story and can’t wait for the next one!

Gripping story with excellent narration

I loved it! Great story! Solid characters (the heros, villains, and everyone else), and excellent writing! I loved the “Genesis” chapters and the way they provided an “origin story” in the middle of the main plot (and the connections between the two). I thoroughly enjoyed the author’s narration, especially the Nigeria accents. Having already read Remi’s autobiography (Transformed) as a former Navy SEAL, I knew he would do this genre justice, and he certainly did! I’m really hoping for a sequel!

Amazing

Story it’s top notch, easy to follow, and keeps you engaged throughout. I highly recommend.

Worth The Time

A great story by an even better person. Worth the time to give this a listen.

non stereotypical female here!

this is such a great read! I heard about it ..actually I heard the author talking about it on Fox News so of course immediately went to audible and ordered it. at the beginning I thought I wouldn't be able to understand it with the author's voice but I came to absolutely love it! I especially loved when he spoke in the Nigerian accents! And yes, I love the intense Black ops spying, fighting in it even!

Great start to a series!

Really enjoyed listening to this book. Can't wait to see the next book in the series.

HALO to HIHO

I always wanted in on the fun. Listening to this audio book is like living the moment. As a truck driver now, I was listening to this in the truck, to the hotel, the mechanic shop, and finished listening to it, back in the truck. Replay please.
