GHOST by Fred Burton (unabridged) is presented by Blackstone Audio and comes with what is perhaps the best audiobook app available (see FEATURES, below).

Winner of the AudioFile Earphones® Award!

For decades, Fred Burton, a key figure in international counterterrorism and domestic spycraft, has secretly been on the front lines of counterterrorism. Now, in this hard-hitting memoir, Burton emerges from the shadows to reveal who he is, what he accomplished, and the threats that only an experienced, world-wise few deal with.

NOTICE: This app includes the exact same 5-star recording offered elsewhere at much higher prices. It was professionally recorded by Blackstone Audio’s Earphones® Award-winning narrator, Tom Weiner. You are not buying yet another amateur or volunteer narration. No clicks, background noises, throat clearing, mispronunciations, tinny voices or monotones will be found here.

“In the first five minutes youll be hooked….Tom Weiners deep voice maximizes the impact of the authors machine-gun present-tense style to create an aura of tension and awareness.”—AudioFile
