Savage Road

Fast-paced from the outset, this audiobook features Hayley Chill, an agent of the Deep State, who wears many hats. Chill is the primary handler for the U.S. president, a Russian spy who has presumably become a double agent. Now he fears his cover has been blown. Narrator Marin Ireland brings the brilliant and fearless Chill to life with an intense delivery that complements author Chris Hauty's distinctive dialogue. Ireland is especially effective in her use of inflection and accents to create an authentic-sounding cast of characters. While calming the president, who does not know whom he can trust, Chill must also uncover the source of cyberattacks crippling the nation. As the story unfolds, Chill takes charge, leading to an unexpected conclusion. D.J.S. � AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine
