Free Audiobook : The Deserter, by Nelson and Alex DeMille

When a Delta Force star named Kyle Mercer bolts from Afghanistan, he leaves behind a video that’s more questions than answers. "The Deserter" by Nelson and Alex DeMille follows Army investigators Scott Brodie and Maggie Taylor as they pick up his trail in the simmering wreckage of Venezuela. Scott Brick’s narration brings a gritty pulse to this audiobook, making every moment feel like it’s teetering on the brink.

Brodie’s a loose cannon with a quick mouth, and Taylor’s holding cards she’s not showing, setting up a partnership that’s as tense as the mission itself. They’re after Mercer, a guy who’s gone from hero to fugitive, and the deeper they go, the more the lines blur between duty and something darker. The DeMilles paint a vivid picture of a world where trust is a luxury and danger’s the default.

This isn’t just a chase; it’s a dive into what makes people break and run. The story hums with sharp dialogue and a restless energy, pulling you through a landscape that’s falling apart at the seams. By the end, you’re left with a rush and a handful of what-ifs, hooked on a thriller that’s got DeMille DNA all over it.
