    About this audiobook

    Nick McDonell found instant acclaim for his first novel, Twelve, which he wrote at age 17. Here McDonell pens a fascinating thriller that Publishers Weekly likens to "le CarrE's better works." American intelligence agent Mike Teak recently graduated from Harvard. His first assignment involves delivering supplies to Somalian freedom fighter Hatashil. But moments after the exchange, Hatashil's camp is destroyed, and Mike starts to suspect he was a pawn all along.

      There is a good story in here but oddly the book is both too long and too sparse. McDonell is a good writer but this is not the best book he is capable of writing. I'm not disappointed that I read it; I am disappointed that it did not live up to the potential revealed in parts throughout it. The plot is too clever by far, and characters are invented solely to further plot development. A pity because if the characters had been fleshed out, humanized, the book would have been much better.

      I find it hard to believe that this book was written by a 26 year-old. It is very sophisticated both in its content and style. McDonnell uses alternate narratives centered around students and former students at Harvard and one in particular who has become involved in covert activities in Africa. it speaks to broader themes of being an outsider and belonging in the Harvard of influence and secret societies as well as what one does with a Harvard education.
