The Night Crew

By: Brian Haig

Narrated by: Christopher Lane

Lieutenant Colonel Sean Drummond, a cocky US Army lawyer who's not afraid to be blunt, finds himself up to his neck in a case he didn't ask to take.

Five US soldiers, tasked with guarding Iraqi prisoners, stand accused of committing depraved atrocities against their charges. Drummond is assigned to defend one of them: a hardscrabble young woman who is either incredibly naive or deceptively evil...and whose incriminating photos made the case an international scandal.

Drummond and his cocounsel, the fiercely antiwar Katherine Carlson, have a complicated and combative history, but they can't afford to get distracted now. They must determine what drove five young patriots to fall so far to the dark side of human nature. As Drummond uncovers evidence that his client has been used as a pawn in a secret strategy involving torture, he realizes he's caught up in a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of government. Breaking down the US military's formidable stonewalling could destabilize the government and put his life at risk - but Drummond's not the type to back away from a good fight.

Good story

Like all other Brian Haig books, exciting and interested look into the world of the JAG corps. Personally, I liked Scott Brick better as a narrator. But Mr. Lane does a fine job.

Unheralded master of plot & dry wit<br />A MUST READ!!<br />

I have read every Brian Haig novel and each has had me chortling and sometimes foot stomping in laughter from the dry quips, politically incorrect, but always right on target observations. His characters jump right off the page, whole and endlessly fascnating. His plots lead the reader through unexpected detours, each illuminating his fabulous grasp of the human psyche and contemporaneous political issues. I was despondent to read that he would cease writing because the publishers wanted more sales. I hope he self publishes on Amazon, because there is not a greater talent out there with his truly remarkable and unique talent.

I didn't figure out who done it.

story deals with an army Jag attorney and a civilian attorney representing a female soldier who was involved in atrocious Acts during her time in Iraq. The author takes a look at what factors contributed to the behavior . and then there's the Whodunnit which I didn't see coming. it's a book with a credit.

Duty Honor Country

Sacrifice is the word of the day. This story, showcased the talent of the author, and as the cost was under $10, such a great deal and entertainment.
Audible started with my fave Scott Brick, but went forward with Joe Barrett and it was such a pleasure to hear Joe perform Sean Drummond. My fave of this series Private Sector as the wit was bark out loud material.
Note: I do use the 1.25x speed to match the author’s intent.
This narrator is good, make no mistake, but he failed to give the Sean Drummond sarcastic flare that narrator Joe Barrett performed. Mr Lane did in fact perform the serious parts every well and did justice to this story.
This is worth your listening time.
Were my comments of help?

Quite cliche..

The author had at times a refreshing and informative vocabulary and at other times a rudimentary one. The story itself was filled with cliche characters with expected personalities. Decent story, good reader though.
