About this audiobook
For more than a decade, Ryan Kealey has been a key player in the war on terror. First, as a captain in the U.S. Army’s third Special Forces Group, then as a contract operative with the CIA. His actions have saved thousands of lives, including that of the U.S. President. Now once again, Kealey receives the call of duty—only this time, the odds for success are slim to none.…
Tensions between Pakistan and India are at an all-time high. To complicate matters, twelve American climbers have disappeared in the snow-capped peaks of Pakistan’s Hindu Kush range. The President is demanding answers, but neither government is supplying them.
As the conflict escalates, Brynn Fitzgerald departs Washington D.C. on her first official trip as acting secretary of state. Her goal is to serve as an intermediary between the leaders of both nations as well as to ensure all efforts are being made in the search for the missing American climbers. But when Fitzgerald’s motorcade is ambushed on the outskirts of Islamabad, her back-up team arrives to discover a disastrous scene: dozens are dead, including seven diplomatic security agents, and the secretary of state has vanished without a trace.
In the wake of the unprecedented attack, Kealey’s operation goes into high gear. Once again, he is joined by Naomi Kharmai, the British-born analyst who has taken on a daring new role with the Agency. But Kharmai is becoming as unpredictable as the man they’re going after, and as they work their way toward the target, it becomes clear to Kealey that anyone is fair game—and no one can be trusted.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Enjoyed it, but it’s not his best. That said, Britton is a solid author in the spy genre
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I can’t listen to the rest of the series because of the narrator. Describing action and death as if it was a children’s book is unbearable it’s very unfortunate.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I didn’t care for the narrator! Good story line though
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5It’s very long. The reader does a lot of voices and they are both distracting and annoying. The amount of emo angst is not what I look for in spy fiction. The ending takes a long time to get and then feels like it was wrapped up in quick sprint
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It was a good book, I enjoyed the story line. But the reader, when using alternate voices was almost unbearable to listen to. I️ felt like I️ was listening to Oscar the grouch and it was very distracting and made it hard to get into.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Too much narration and not enough interaction with the characters. I found myself knowing the narrator more than the people in the book.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5While certainly no masterpiece, Andrew Britton's The Invisible, his third novel featuring CIA agent Ryan Kealey, is an entertaining and page-turning thriller that successfully manages to grab the reader's attention and doesn't relinquish until quite a while after the last period has been reached. The events that shape the plot of this book are believable, and the political rammifications that too many fiction works ignore are successfully brought in to heighten the tension. The action sequences are exhilerating and leave one on the edge of their seat. However, I do find many faults with the often wooden characters, especially Naomi Kharmai, the British born agent whom Ryan Kealey fell in love with in the Assassin (Britton's previous book). She has been reduced from a believable character in the previous novel to an annoying hindrance (so much so, that it seems that Kealey would rather hang out with a female French agent, who is a little tougher and much more bearable). The two most believable characters of this story are Kealey's boss Jonathan Harper, and David Brenneman, the President of the United States. However, thriller novels are known for action and not characters, and on action, this book delivers. (Note: this review is just my opinion. If you have read this book and have a different opinion, you have the right to respectfully disagree).Side Note: This is the last book that Andrew Britton wrote. He passed away from an undiagnosed heart condition just three weeks after this book's publication at the age of 27. While Britton's works are still being published, they are all posthumous.
