Ready to Kill

Nathan McBride, Book 4

By: Andrew Peterson

Narrated by: Dick Hill

Best-selling author Andrew Peterson is back with a heart-stopping fourth installment of his wildly popular Nathan McBride series.

When a mysterious note referencing a top-secret US operation is tossed over the wall of the embassy in Nicaragua, Nathan McBride and his old pal Harv are called out of retirement by CIA Director Rebecca Cantrell and sent to Central America. Cantrell wants the situation resolved quickly and knows that Nathan is the man to do it; after all, he has a history with the place. The jungle he and Harv are about to land in is the same one that Nathan barely escaped with his life decades before, an ordeal that left him physically and psychologically scarred. To make it out alive a second time, Nathan will have to face down his own demons and square off with a ruthless killer who learned from the best, Nathan himself.

Awesome Series

This is one of the best series I have listened to in a long time. Dick Hill does an unbelievable job narrating the story. I recommend this series to anyone.

Good story but radio voices very irritating!!

The story is good and fast moving but the raspy radio conversations are very irritating and total uncalled for. Not sure why the narrator felt he had to do it!!

Definitely not the best of the series.

Too much intricate, minutiae detail about actions that have little, if any, effect in the plot. The whole story takes place over a few hour period, but the reader spends hours reading about a 30 minute sequence. The plot is very 2-dimensional and it would have been nice to have some of the recurring characters from previous boos. At least Harv is in this one (unlike the last).

Really enjoy Nathan and Harve

Would you listen to Ready to Kill again? Why?

Yep, though my Hubby probably wouldn't just because he doesn't. Action packed, good story, great relationship stuff, flawed hero. The problems of the miners are sort of global, though this takes place in Nicaragua. Other geopolitical issues are as compelling...hate to give too much of the story away. As always, Nate and Harve are up to their necks and not sure if their predicament is deliberate or an accident on the part of their higher up.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

You figure Nathan will probably not die, but nothing else is sure. Hard to know who to trust. Peterson does his research and the situations and locations seem very true.

Which character – as performed by Dick Hill – was your favorite?

Always like Harve and Holly.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Always a winner

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The ups and downs of the story, the hard hitting and softness of the characters kept me wanting more.

Any additional comments?

I am a big fan of this genre. I always have a book at the ready. This series of books is the most engaging and attention grabbing of all the rest.
