The 9th Man

By: Steve Berry, Grant Blackwood

Narrated by: Scott Brick

From New York Times bestselling author of the Cotton Malone series comes a thrilling, action-packed historical adventure that sends Luke Daniels on an international manhunt for the truth about the assassination of President John Kennedy.

Luke Daniels is in London, between assignments with the Magellan Billet, when he receives a frantic call from an old friend. Jillian Stein is in trouble. She made a mistake and now her life may be in danger. She needs Luke’s help. Immediately. Racing to Belgium Luke quickly finds that she was right. A shadow team of highly-trained operatives are there on the hunt. Intervening, he finds himself embroiled in a war between two determined sides — one seeking the truth, the other trying to escape the past — a war that has already claimed one life and is about to claim more.

Thomas Rowland is a Washington insider, a kingmaker, problem-solver, but also a man with a past. For him everything turns with what happened on November 22, 1963 in Dallas, Texas. What history has recorded is wrong. There is more to the story, much more, and Thomas Rowland is at the center of that terrible reality. But forces are working against him, and Rowland will do anything to keep the world from learning what actually happened on that fateful day, including killing Luke, Jillian and anyone else who might be a threat.

In a race from Belgium, to Luxembourg, to the bayous of Louisiana and the Wyoming wilderness, to a final confrontation in the Bahamas, Luke Daniels confronts a series of shocking truths which not only rewrite history but will forever change his own life — as he comes face to face with the ninth man.

The book kept you guessing

It took me a long time to see the end coming. It was very entertaining.

Finally, a story that doesn’t have to have a cuss word in every sentence. I appreciate that.

this book makes you think

I remember this tragic part of history. I also know of some of the "theories" peoplehave put out there. this one, well it's more beekeeping
believable than most others, like I said "makes you think"

I usually love Scott Brick but…

I thought the story was pretty good and kept you on your toes. Although I usually love Scott Brick as a narrator this time he was a little bit too much… kind of overly dramatic! Sometimes that made it hard to concentrate on the story.

Great story and reader

This book is excellent. A lot of the information is true and a lot of it is fiction. I didn’t want to put it down.

Radder lungs. Still giggling about that!

Good listen. Love Scott Brick and why I got the book. Luke is a likable character and will most likely listen to more of the series.
