The Adversary

Tier One Thrillers, Book 9

By: Brian Andrews, Jeffrey Wilson

Narrated by: Ray Porter

From New York Times bestselling authors Andrews & Wilson, The Adversary is the next heart-stopping installment in the Tier One series.

For John Dempsey, it’s a time of uncertainty.

As a new administration tries to piece together who was behind the assassination of an American president, Task Force Ember is a team without a target. Newly minted POTUS Kelso Jarvis is haunted by strange dreams of a house on fire, and Dempsey’s son, Jake—who has begun his own journey as a SEAL—can’t escape the ghost of the father he believes to be dead.

But when a routine intelligence-gathering mission in Taiwan goes horribly wrong and one of Ember’s own is captured, Dempsey’s frustration only grows. As Ember races to rescue their teammate before it’s too late, three of America’s strongest warriors—Dempsey, Jarvis, and Jake—must ask themselves if tomorrow’s adversary resides across the Taiwan Strait, or within themselves.

Jake needs to grow up

I loved the pace of the book and the final confrontation between John and Jake. however I think Jake is young and pissed as he should be but he has no idea why nor does he care why jack became John. I hope he matures enough to finally hear John Dempsey out.

Hard decisions for ultimate outcomes

Nothing it was a solid story of Love of your country to the Destruction of your Family. Hard choices Dennis

It’s EMBER

The story tracked well. Had all the great characters and hallmarks of an A&W book. The denouement leaves me wanting something different. It could be just me though. I am looking forward to the next installment.

Best Tier One to Date
