A Chris Collins CIA Thriller, Book 1

By: David F. Berens, John Hopton

Narrated by: Marc Vietor

Could you save the world if your world was falling apart?

Chris Collins is a CIA deputy director with a history of rogue missions. He's lost his wife, his career, and maybe his friends...but there are new "friends" around every corner. And along with the new friends, some powerful new enemies.

On a bitterly cold night in Washington DC, Chris Collins is heading home to open his favorite bottle of red, when his past walks right by him. A day later, his world falls apart. But he has no time to feel sorry for himself, as he soon realizes that evil forces are at work on an international scale and his country is under attack from within. There’s a job to be done.

In the midst of a personal crisis, he embarks on a global journey that takes him from the rugged coast of Ireland through the heart of Europe to the shimmering deserts of Morocco. He gets more than a little help from the mysterious stranger who keeps showing up in his life, but will it be enough to save innocent lives and bring some of the world's most powerful people to justice?

Includes "Rogue Enemy", a bonus story from the Chris Collins CIA Thriller series.

Good Action Adventure Listen

This is an action adventure story like Jack Ryan with enough twists and turns to keep you interested. Lots of travel, fighting, drinking, and escaping. If you like this genre, you will like this book. Narration is well done. Good plot and character development. Fun action listen!

Hard to Follow

It was hard to follow the plot. Couldn't sometimes understand what the main character was up to.

Atypical Spy Story

'Capitol Break' was a atypical but interesting spy story. It had a good number of twists an turns which kept me guessing who the bad guy really was. When I found out I was really surprised. Well worth a read.

Well worth a credit!!!

I listen to 2 to 3 books a week. I stumbled across this one and decided to check it out. it's by far one of the best books I've heard in a very long time. lots of action plot twists great lead character. and the narrator is awesome. I've downloaded the next in series already!!!

speechless

if this was my first exposure to the genre, i’m not sure what my expectations would be…since it is far from my first, i’m left with implausibly, imperfect situations that even more unlikely always work out. there’s cliche and then there’s wishful thinking and then there is this book. I would almost consider that it was authored as a parody- think weird al yankovic…

if I could return I would, but I can’t finish it either!
