Story
Marine pilot Brad Austin and his carrier-based F-4 Phantom group fly into the heart of enemy territory daily without fear, but the rules of engagement hinder them nearly as much as the North Vietnamese. Restricted from attacking the enemy's MiG bases, Austin and the other American pilots are vulnerable to attack without the ability to retaliate, a weakness that tragically leads to the death of Austin's wingman. Consumed by the need to avenge his comrade, Austin goes one-on-one with the enemy in a battle that ultimately proves in war there can be no rules.

The United States is under attack. From the sea and the sky, the devastating attacks come, crippling the US military's ability to respond. Thousands have been killed and injured. For President Cord Macklin, this is the greatest challenge of his life, greater than risking his life in the skies over Vietnam and greater than guiding the country through some of the most trying times. But none has been more trying than this. Below the sea, a predator stalks the pride of America's Navy: its aircraft carriers. Deadly and silent, this killer seems able to elude all efforts to find it.

Absolutely Incredible Writing
- By oAjCo on 28-02-16
Summary
From the bestselling author of DEFCON One comes an explosive techno-thriller.
While Congress debates the merits of continued funding for the stealth bomber, sinister forces have their own goals in mind. During a training exercise, a B-2 bomber disappears. When search efforts produce no evidence that the bomber crashed, the US Air Force has no choice but to acknowledge that one of its most secret and high-tech aircraft has been hijacked.
Recovery of the B-2 and its crew becomes the president's highest priority, and the Kremlin claims no knowledge of the missing aircraft. Finally, intelligence leads to what at first seems a very unlikely suspect: Cuba. But could the tiny nation pull off a theft of this magnitude? And what might its plans be for the highly sought-after aircraft? Getting the answers to these questions becomes the top-secret mission for CIA agent Steve Wickham, for without those answers, only one solution will remain: invasion. And if the US invades, World War III will certainly follow.

Reasonable story worst narration I have heard
What disappointed you about Shadow Flight?
The narration
Who was your favorite character and why?
Not really that sort of story.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
The narration was awful, accents were either completely over the top or laughably bad. I struggled to listen to parts of it which was a shame, because it wasnt a bad book.
What character would you cut from Shadow Flight?
none of them.

Good (if a little hammy in places) narration, does well to stay on top of all the accents.
It did feel like there were far too many strands of plot/viewpoint, so much so the story never really goes anywhere…and then it’s finished.

At least we know what Ralph from the Muppets is doing now
This review is based on the narration alone as that has made this audiobook unlistenable. The voices used are idiotic at best whilst on the most part very annoying. I have no idea what the narrator was thinking of when deciding on the particular voices. Another annoying point is why does every piece of hard wear used have to have a full description added to it ie what the finer detail of the engine of the Yak aircraft is?

This may have been a reasonable tale ? however the appalling narration made it unlistenable ! Someone had obviously told the narrator he could do a passable impression of John Wayne and he took it literally. General Parkinson sounded like a " miner 49er". Overall it began to grate on my eardrums.

Mediocre thriller
This book was OK, but nothing special. I have read very similar stories, but from better authors. For me, the narrative bounced around far too much between characters, and there were a lot of them! It looked for a while like the CIA agent Wickham was going to be the central character, but in the end, his story only took a small portion of the story.
The reading performance was very good.
I'm glad this book was included in my Audible subscription for free, because I would have been disappointed had I paid for it.

Couldn't listen all the way through
The narrator is so BAD I just cannot finish the book. He makes all his military characters sound like they are stupid hicks. The director let him get by with it, so both the director and the narrator should be fired. The narrators voice isn't anything much to begin with, but it gets much worse when he tries to do accents. Maybe if he just read the book and accepts that he knows nothing about accents, it would be tolerable. I think the story might be pretty good, but I just cannot get past how bad the narrator and his accents are.

Where to start. The story line was pretty good, but WAY to detailed. Describing every detail actually made this a hard listen. The narrator had the worst voices, His Russian was OK, but every voice sounded like a 1950 KGB general. Nearly every American sounded like they came from the deep woods of Tennessee, Very poor job.

Great story, Egregious narrator.
The narrator was distractingly bad, I say this as total truth and as in no way to be mean, but the narrator alone made the book almost unlistenable. He constantly spoke like he was doing a bad Clint Eastwood impression, or trying to suck in his gut. His other voices were all cartoonish and over done, and this is especially true of the accents. His accents and characters voices were so bad it made decent dialogue sound terrible. I think the story is worth reading, the dogfights were great and something I haven't heard before, but I can not stress enough that the narrator made the story profoundly hard to get through.

I listened for 2 hours, but just couldn’t keep going. The performance sound like a National Geographic show and the characters voices didn’t match at all what you would think for them from the words and story.
The story was OK and I could see where maybe it could have been interesting. The problem was that the military pilots would never have done what they did in the story. It is totally out of character.
Because of the performance and the first 2 hours of the story I shut it off and wrote my first review.
