À propos de cet audio

The fourth installment in the critically acclaimed Cordell Logan series, The Three-Nine Line brings the sardonic pilot all the way to Vietnam

It’s been over forty years since they were released from the “Hanoi Hilton"—a prisoner of war camp in Vietnam—and three American soldiers and ex-prisoners finally return to Vietnam. As part of an effort by the US government to settle a major trade agreement, these three men have agreed to make peace with one of their most brutal former captors—a guard they dubbed “Mr. Wonderful.” But when Mr. Wonderful is murdered, the three former POWs are the primary suspects and the multi-billion dollar deal threatens to unravel.

Enter Cordell Logan: pilot, still-aspiring Buddhist, and former military assassin.

Working with a newly formed covert intelligence unit, Logan arrives in Hanoi to identify the real killer before the trade agreement implodes. But he soon discovers a vexing and increasingly dangerous mystery that will take every ounce of ingenuity and resolve to unlock. Risking his life like never before, Logan must discover who killed the guard and why, and fast.

The Three-Nine Line is a classic, pulse-pounding work and an excellent addition to a thrilling series from award-winning author David Freed.

Adequate Thriller. Awkwardly Upbeat.

The underlying plot in this David Freed offering is well-conceived: three former American POWs are held in modern Vietnam for the suspected murder of a sadistic "Hanoi Hilton" prison-guard - potentially scuttling an International Trade Agreement. The story is populated with somewhat stereotypical but believable characters, the vocabulary & prose are acceptable, and the overall scenario is plausible. This story is well-planned &  executed nicely.
Unfortunately, Freed injects far too much sardonic banter among his IC operatives (having our best and brightest debate for 5 minutes which unpalatable flavor of burrito to order is kinda ridiculous)
..and the author makes it clear that his protagonist - former Special Operator 'Cordell Logan' - is a cynical smart-ass with cartoonish "loose-cannon" instincts & balls (and is laughably unqualified to impersonate a Psychology Professor and solve an internationally sensitive murder).
If you can set aside logic, the mystery is fairly predictable but "not bad" - it's consequently disappointing that Freed revels in eyerolling familiarity and colloquiallisms that take the reader/listener out of the illusion of reality.

On the good side, Ray Porter turns in an excellent performance. Yes, he reads too slowly (listen at 1.10X), but even given the stereotyped dialogue - from angry Communist Police Officials, underage hookers, and Pigeon-English-spouting Asian street-toughs - Porter delivers believable voice-acting. He also demonstrates solid diction, timbre, cadence, and tone. The exemplary narration strives to save a weak literary effort.. and nearly does so (if you really want to read 'The Three-Nine Line', choosing this audiobook version would definitely be better than a text iteration).

Despite great quality standards, however, this recording only rates 5.5 stars out of 10. If you can get it as a 'Plus' selection, it's not crazy to download it and give it a listen (it provided sufficient entertainment for a couple of quiet afternoons), but paying a Credit would be debatable.
