Tragically this amazing young man who had put so much into his short life, passed suddenly in March Ryan Kealey has no doubt that the forces seeking to tip this teetering world into chaos are just getting better. Better equipped, better organized, and, most terrifying of all, more patient.
Ryan Kealey - 6. Ryan Kealey now knows he'll never really put the game behind him. He's seen too much, and the instinct is too deeply hardwired. But the game itself has changed. Between tense interagency "cooperation" that gums the works, and an overreliance on data Ryan Kealey - 5. Finally, we have the brilliant snake John Harper. Still managing to find ways of roping his long suffering subordinate back into the company, with his new promotion, Harper is at the top of his game, skillfully corordinating the search for the SecState with a consumate skill.
So, now we come to the criticism. I'll get to the point. Firstly, my suspension of disbelief snapped. In any other spy novel, the US government would not put their faith in two psychologically unstable CIA employees to go recover a V. The state the main characters are in would be grounds for confinement and serious counselling. Secondly, the treatment of the female characters in this book is a bit insulting to be honest.
The Invisible (Ryan Kealey, book 3) by Andrew Britton
They're either out of their depth, gung-ho and careless compared to the male characters or just plain weak. Considering book 2 had a strong, reliable female antagonist in the form of Yasmin Ransin who gave as good as she got with her sociopath partner in crime, it's interesting how Britton never did the same with any of his female protagonists.
I suppose it's also the depressing tone which has caused my negativity but then again, the Ryan Kealey series is supposed to be a tragedy. The "Invisible" does not reach the heights its fantastic predecessor did. The characterization combined with some of the most erratic pacing I have seen in a counter-terrorist thriller make what might have been a good premise into quite frustrating reading.
While the research is good, the tragedy of Ryan Kealey completes its arc and there are a few gems here or there, I really don't recommend it as much as the previous book. Jun 14, Herzog rated it really liked it Shelves: This series is very similar to the Mitch Rapp series though Kealy is not as capable as Rapp. The personal twists and turns in this book add as much drama to the story as the main plot.
Who is Ryan Kealey?
This is page turning, entertaining stuff just a notch below the best of this genre. Excellent love the character.
Dec 01, Vicki Elia rated it did not like it. Charles Every writer has an off-book. With all due respect to the memory of the late, great Andrew Britton, this one was a real looser. Ryan Kealey spends the majority of the story twisting in the wind over women, self-doubt, and emotional lone-wolf assaults on the enemy.
If he was a true CIA asset working at the highest levels, he'd be tossed to the curb. There is little action in this book, only lonely hearts club. The lengthy 15 hour audio tirad Audiobook Review Narrator: The lengthy 15 hour audio tirade is made unbearable by the narrator, J. Charles cannot do female voice nor accents or foreign languages.
Often, he can't even pronounce American English. A grinding, abysmal outing in this reading. It was so bad, I stopped and started again 3 times until I just gritted my teeth and finished it. For the writer that carries on Britton's legacy, please don't ever let J. Charles near your recording studio again. Oct 04, Hans rated it liked it.
That's worth the bump to 3 stars above. Actually was surprised with the plot change-ups that popped up throughout the novel, but I did find a lot of the writing covering the same details, over and over, repeating the same information.

There is also something that pops up often: I know that was meant to put a human face on the reasons why someone is playing the role they are, but it often seems like it's too much for the space. So I skimmed quite a bit. It is still much improved over the second book and seemed to be the book that sets up a longer term arc. I mean Kealey can't keep doing the same "pulled in for one last job" story if it needs to stay somewhat realistic. I am upgrading this book in the series from "mens formula fiction" to "thriller.

This is the third book by Andrew Britton in this series. They are much in the Clancy, Flynn, Thor genre. Overall they are well written and worthy of the time.

I'm concerned about continuing since I'm not sure about how much of each book was written by Britton before his untimely death after book 3. May 07, Jackie rated it really liked it Shelves: This is a completely timely novel of political suspense--the female Secretary of State is abducted after a terrorist attack on her convoy in Pakistan. This is VERY realistically written by Britton, a former Army combat engineer who is currently pursuing a double major in economics and psychology.
He paints an all too familiar and tense political picture from many angles, including inside the minds of the players on both sides of the action. He walks a fine line between technical and personal whic This is a completely timely novel of political suspense--the female Secretary of State is abducted after a terrorist attack on her convoy in Pakistan. He walks a fine line between technical and personal which will keep a wide range of readers involved and wanting more fortunately there is more--this is Britton's third book. This book has it's graphic moments, but they are important to the context of the story and not just to shock the reader.
There is a lot of gray in this book--the good guys aren't exactly wearing white hats and halos and the bad guys have some humanity mixed in with their hate. Sep 01, Dave rated it really liked it. This is the third book in the Ryan Kealey series I have read. Good lightweight action thriller with the CIA, washington politics, muslim terrorists and a rule-breaking action star as the protagonist.
Fun to read but somewhat of a guilty pleasure! I'm pleased there is none of the political speech-making that fills Brad Thor's similar books. Somewhat unnecessary need by the author to give brand names and model numbers of anything technical. I will certainly be reading the next book in the series so This is the third book in the Ryan Kealey series I have read.

I will certainly be reading the next book in the series soon! Apr 11, Lee rated it really liked it Shelves: The acting Secretary of State is in Pakistan attempting to pacify things when her motorcade is ambushed and she is kidnapped. With danger at every turn he must fight foes within and outside the agency to accomplish his mission.
Another good effort from Britton. Jul 29, Mark rated it really liked it Shelves: Kealey is dragged back into the "business" to rescue the Secretary of State from Pakistan Kealy just can't catch a break in his life outside of the "business" as he faces more personal tragedy Aug 08, Craig Leimkuehler rated it it was ok. Once again a lone agent with minimal support must save the day. I thought some of the medical passages got a little bogged down. I understand that first two of books by author were better so I may go back and check them out later.
