Summary

A shocking act of sabotage draws a retired spy into a deadly conspiracy in an explosive thriller by an Amazon Charts and Wall Street Journal bestselling author。

After three decades in counterintelligence， Brad Trasker is retired， disillusioned， and dealing with a tragic loss。 Spy games are behind him until he attends the launch of a next-generation aircraft。 When the project of innovative aerospace CEO Kylie Connor explodes on the tarmac―nearly killing her in the process―Trasker is pulled back into the line of fire。

The mystery of the sabotage quickly deepens。 All Kylie’s data has been wiped from the server。 One of her engineers has disappeared。 A seed investor has died in a suspicious car accident。 And a cold-blooded murder raises the stakes even higher。

To discover who’s pulling the strings behind a dangerous conspiracy， Trasker needs to find a motive。 Corporate espionage， revenge， or something he can’t yet see？ Targeted by assassins， he finds himself overmatched when he realizes he can’t trust anyone―including Kylie。 Too long out of a game he no longer understands， Trasker must adapt or die。

Twist after twists。 I already suspected the culprit on the first hint。 Yet， it is still an interesting read。

Michael Bullen ，

Decent premise and writing other than the very repetitive memory techniques used by the protagonist。 It gets irritating quickly。 Not likely to pick up the next book in the series because of it。

Pamela Rohrer ，

The references to The Time Machine， the Time Traveler and memory palace were very annoying。 Plot was good but very slow getting to the end。 Was very happy when done reading。

Amy Grubb ，

I had high hopes for this one， but it feels more like book 2 than a first book where you get to know the main character。 The story is good， but more disjointed than some of the other series。

Review of Night Owl A very involved plot。 At times， I had difficulty keeping up with where the plot was headed， but the end of the book cleared everything up。

Very good read！This book is different in that the hero is "elderly"。 Not the age of the usual action hero！ I thoroughly enjoyed this novel。 Action， suspense， and intellectual games around！ Very good read！This book is different in that the hero is "elderly"。 Not the age of the usual action hero！ I thoroughly enjoyed this novel。 Action， suspense， and intellectual games around！ 。。。more

Having read many of the author's works， I was intrigued to see this new character and dove in。 I will admit that it took quite awhile to warm to the protagonist。 My main irritation was the memory placing technique his "former"？ spy mother taught him。 My eyes glazed over several times trying to get through those parts。 Thankfully the longest of those inner dialogues were in the early chapters and I began to finally get pulled into the story。 By the end I knew I would be looking forward to more of Having read many of the author's works， I was intrigued to see this new character and dove in。 I will admit that it took quite awhile to warm to the protagonist。 My main irritation was the memory placing technique his "former"？ spy mother taught him。 My eyes glazed over several times trying to get through those parts。 Thankfully the longest of those inner dialogues were in the early chapters and I began to finally get pulled into the story。 By the end I knew I would be looking forward to more of Trasker's adventures。 。。。more

Excellent bookIt was a hard to put down read。 The ending was unexpected。 I would recommend this book。 Looking forward to the next one。

A page turner if there ever was one。 Excellent ， taut techno-thriller。 Andrew Mayne spins a tale of sabotage， industrial espionage and dark doings。 The action ranges from the proving grounds to the heights of power， with some shady detours along the way。

My first book by this author and it turned out to be a spy thriller - my kind of book。 The main character is Brad Trasker who has had a career in espionage but is now retired。 However events occur which draw him back into the business。This was a fast paced story with so many tricks and turns that I really had to concentrate to keep up。 Trasker was able to call in favors and use his extensive knowledge from the past and this ultimately saves his own life。 I particularly enjoyed the character of T My first book by this author and it turned out to be a spy thriller - my kind of book。 The main character is Brad Trasker who has had a career in espionage but is now retired。 However events occur which draw him back into the business。This was a fast paced story with so many tricks and turns that I really had to concentrate to keep up。 Trasker was able to call in favors and use his extensive knowledge from the past and this ultimately saves his own life。 I particularly enjoyed the character of Trasker's mother and I hope she plays good sized roles in future books。 Of course it was all unbelievable and over the top but all the best books in this genre are！ I will be looking out for more by this author。Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book 。。。more

I may have found a new thriller author to read…

MMM not sure if this series from the author works for me。 In general I like Trasker and his McGiver way of doing things but I don't really like the 'industry' and his continued working with Kylie Connor to save the world MMM not sure if this series from the author works for me。 In general I like Trasker and his McGiver way of doing things but I don't really like the 'industry' and his continued working with Kylie Connor to save the world 。。。more

This book is a bit formulaic， but that adds to the enjoyment。 The main character is complex and intriguing。 Supporting characters can be difficult to keep track of at times。 But， overall a solid， fun read。 I look forward to the sequel。

Patrick Moore ，

Exciting story Very interesting story。 Lots of action and suspense。 Good characters and good storyline。 This ess a great read and very enjoyable。

3。5 starsThis book was just fine， but nothing to gush over。 It definitely grew on me， I didn't love the beginning in fact I stopped reading for a little bit to finish another book。 I feel like this book reminded me of reading The Naturalist series， though I think I like Theo better than Trasker。 The Naturalist series was good， but very middle of the road for me。 It was something I would read when I didn't really have anything else。 I feel like I will be reading the Trasker novels while waiting f 3。5 starsThis book was just fine， but nothing to gush over。 It definitely grew on me， I didn't love the beginning in fact I stopped reading for a little bit to finish another book。 I feel like this book reminded me of reading The Naturalist series， though I think I like Theo better than Trasker。 The Naturalist series was good， but very middle of the road for me。 It was something I would read when I didn't really have anything else。 I feel like I will be reading the Trasker novels while waiting for the next Underwater Investigation or Cray and Blackwood books。 Trasker is retired from his work in counterintelligence and is trying to get back into the civilian world， but when tragedy strikes at a presentation of an aerospace company， Trasker is pulled back into the world of spies to try and protect the CEO Kylie Connor。 The first part of this of this book was a solid 3， the story was interesting， but the way Trasker was written was a bit annoying and it really took me out of the story。 To remember his surroundings and the people around him， Trasker uses a memory palace。 This became way over done， when each thought was to tell us where in his memory palace he was putting everything。 This did ease up a little towards the middle of the book and that helped， but it really did take me a little bit to get into the book because of this。 The story does pick up and become more interesting and I did end up giving it a 3。5， but I feel just mid about it。 It is a series and the end does set up the next book， maybe I didn't like it as much because it is the first book in a series and it's meant to set up the characters？ I will probably try the next book in the series to see what I think， but my hopes aren't too high。 。。。more

excellent， clean & precise！excellent， clean & precise！ No fluff。 loved the new character Trasker。 Looking forward to the next edition as soon as it comes out。

Jaime Perez ，

DifferentEnjoyable reading， and interesting characters， although the main ones are somewhat stereotyped and exaggerated。But there is some novelty in the story， and the memory tricks of the hero。I will most likely read another book from this author。

Amber ，

great This read was worth the wait！！ When I first start reading I take awhile to get into the rhythm of the book。 Sorry Andrew that’s just me 。 I ready for the next one

Donny R ，

hard to stop listening The story line was hard to stop listening to from the very beginning。 Changes in direction and speed made the listening consuming！

A。L。 Awtrey ，

A great thrillerWell paced， interesting characters， and an amazing twisty plot。 Just what I needed for a cold rainy day。 Loved it！

Night owl to a snake in the grassA interesting story a plane of weapon whatever you wanna call it to a sneaky snake in the grass 。loved it and kept me interested in the twist and turns。

Kathy ，

My second book by Mayne; not one dull moment。 I was not sure at first， the technical jargon and actions were hard to understand with my little experience with aviation。 But I persevered and I am so glad I did。 Twists and turns abound and I began to understand some of the technical aspects。 Another winner。

Nanette Mitchell ，

great spy novelLoved getting to know more about Brad Trasker and the excellent spy he was and is being forced back into the game。 Enjoyed the fact his mother had been a spy。 Great pros and action

Frank Cook ，

It's book one of a new series。 I usually don't like my villains to be too big， but I've read all of the author's other series and I'll continue reading this one。 It's book one of a new series。 I usually don't like my villains to be too big， but I've read all of the author's other series and I'll continue reading this one。 。。。more

A Very Good Mystery ReadThis is the first book I have read by Andrew Mayne。 The book is a page turner and has a well based plot。The only annoying thing is the main character using a memory system that is referred to too often。

David Bryan ，

Trasker At His Almost BestTrasker says he has lost a step or two as his world evolves， yet he helps solve this conspiracy。 I really do not like secret agent super heroes。 In this novel our hero does a lot， but it stays in the realm of possibility。 If this series is going where it appears that it is， then the next episode could be very exciting and bringing present day retribution。

Marian Cartee ，

Full of intrigueIf you like espionage and drama you will like this book。 The characters are well developed。 A very action packed book and a good read。
