About this listen

An electrifying new thriller series for listeners who love Vince Flynn and Brad Thor! Former marine officer Matthew Betley introduces fearless soldier Logan West in this action-packed, globe-trotting, edge-of-your-seat debut.

Former Marine Force Reconnaissance officer Logan West emerges from a blackout after drinking away the worries of his ruined marriage and PTSD, an all too familiar scene for the recovering alcoholic. But he wakes to more than a killer hangover: A professional mercenary has been sent to capture him. After an embattled showdown, Logan impulsively answers the dead man's ringing phone, triggering a hasty rescue of Logan's estranged wife and a global race against the clock to track down an unknown organization searching for an Iraqi flag central to a planned attack in the Middle East - one that will draw the US into a major conflict with Iran.

Logan and John Quick, Logan's former platoon sergeant who has also been targeted by these shadowy mercenaries, are contracted as "consultants" to assist the FBI as part of a special task force led by Logan's close friend. From the plains of the Midwest to the Alamo and mansions in Northern Mexico to the war-torn Al Anbar province, the battles build in scale and scope and pit an international team against mercenaries and former Special Forces operators employed by the world's largest private security contractor, whose owner has a shadowy personal vendetta of his own.

Meanwhile Logan is battling his own demons, unable to shake the trauma of the ambush that his Force Recon unit suffered at an insurgent torture compound in Fallujah in 2004. Mixing thrilling, you-are-there fight scenes with high-stakes tactical maneuvers and complex, fully realized characters, Overwatch is up to the minute and impossible to pause.

Can’t wait to read more!

Tom Clancy better watch his back because Matthew Betley is on the scene with his political, military thrillers! My next listen will be book two in the series.

Betley's first novel and hopefully his last.

Someone had recommended this novel and said we would love the Logan West character. Boy, were they wrong.

I had to suspend belief with all the BS that made it dound like the US Govt is so efficient and brilliant when it comes to terrorism. All the "good" guys are incredible and everyone else is a moron who can't shoot straight. Plot was laughable and much as I generally love these type of books, it just was silly and there were many times when I thought, when will this nonsense end? I respect the US and really like Americans, but come on, who believes this nonsense?? I actually cringed many times when listening to it. Shocked to see some people gave it 5 stars. Really??!!!
Hopefully, Betley improves as this is his first novel. My question is how did this get into print? Are there that few writers of this genre left out there???
