About this listen

The CIA is looking for walking contradictions. Recruiters seek people who can keep a secret, yet pull classified information out of others; who love their country, but are willing to leave it behind to head into dangerous places; who live double lives, but can be trusted with some of the nation's most highly sensitive tasks.

Michele Rigby Assad was one of those people.

As a CIA agent, Michele soon found that working undercover was an all-encompassing job. The threats were real. The mission was a perilous one. Trained as a counterterrorism expert, Michele spent over a decade in the agency - a woman leading some of the most highly skilled operatives on the planet, secretly serving in some the most treacherous areas of the Middle East. But deep inside, Michele wondered: Could she really do this job? Was she in the right place at the right time, or had she misunderstood what she thought was God's calling on her life? Did she have what it would take to survive?

The answer came when Michele faced a life-or-death choice - one that had secretly been the plan for her all along. In Breaking Cover, Michele has at last been cleared to drop cover and tell her story: one of incredible struggle; of thwarted plans and expectations; and most of all, of discovering a faith greater than all her fears.

Inspiring and worthwhile.

The fact that the author is the narrator brings the story to life. Faith and trust in God makes this account precious.

Mediocre

There is very little operational detail here. Quite a lot about moving to “country redacted” and other places. Out of respect for the author and her service to the USA, I listened to the last 3 hours which goes on about religion and and the author’s faith. Not my thing.
As for the narrator of the audiobook, it was read waaay tooo sloooow. I listened at 1.25 just to make sound it like normal speech.
