The Kremlin's Candidate

By: Jason Matthews

Narrated by: Jeremy Bobb

The “terrifically good” (The New York Times Book Review) finale in the New York Times bestselling Red Sparrow trilogy continues the dangerous entanglements of Russian counterintelligence chief Dominika Egorova and her lover, CIA agent Nate Nash, on the hunt for a Russian agent working in the US government.

Russian president Vladimir Putin is planning the covert assassination of a high-ranking US official with the intention of replacing him with a mole whom Russian intelligence has cultivated for more than fifteen years.

Catching wind of this plot, Dominika, Nate, and their CIA colleagues must unmask the traitor before he or she is able to reveal that Dominika has been spying for years on behalf of the CIA. Any leak, any misstep, will expose her as a CIA asset and result in a one-way trip to a Moscow execution cellar. Ultimately, the lines of danger converge on the spectacular billion-dollar presidential palace on the Black Sea during a power weekend with Putin’s inner circle. Does Nate sacrifice himself to save Dominika? Does Dominika forfeit herself to protect Nate? Do they go down together?

With a plot ripped from tomorrow’s headlines, The Kremlin’s Candidate is “both timely and timeless; an espionage tale that takes the reader behind and beyond the headlines of Russia’s assault on America” (Nelson DeMille).

If you are invested in the characters of the story....

Spoilers warning...........




If you are invested in the characters do yourself a favor, and don’t listen to book 3. The ending of this story was terrible and almost seemed like the writer was just ready to be done with this trilogy.

So, the story ends

An excellent story, even if it does end on a downer, with Nate possibly dead, his girl trapped in Putin's Russia. Hope more can be written about them.

Masterpiece!

Jeremy Mathews is a brilliant writer and Jeremy Bobby fits his his story hand-in-glove. Great character development and an addictive story. Mr. Mathews makes the world of espionage captivating and scary. Incorporating Putin into the story added a real world chilling element into the book. Nate, Diva et al will stay with me for quite a while.

The Kremlin’s Candidate is a Thriller

I couldn’t help thinking the reality of this story. The story had so many different aspects-political, thrilling, counter intelligence.
That kept me on the edge of my sest . I couldn’t put it down.

Great trilogy

Loved all three books and narration but was disappointed at the end of the third book. Had wished for a different ending.
