Summary: The Invisible
Comment: I enjoyed reading this book; however, I expected AB (Andrew Britton) to close the loop on his previous novel, The Assassin. In addition, I expect sequels to reveal more about main characters; especially the protagonist(s). I learned nothing new about Ryan Kealey, John Harper or Naomi Kharmai.

Summary: An edge-of-the-seat narrative
Comment: THE INVISIBLE, the third installment in Andrew Britton's brilliant Ryan Kealey series, is perfect winter reading. Pick this one up when there's snow on the ground, a killer wind chill and you have the day off. You have nowhere to be anyway, so at least you won't feel guilty about staying put for several hours as you read the latest novel in what is arguably the most realistic thriller series going.
THE INVISIBLE begins with the sudden and violent kidnapping of a group of U.S. tourists in Pakistan. The instigator of this deed is Amari Saifi, a terrorist who has been on the U.S. most wanted list for several years. The incident causes Jonathan Harper, the Deputy Director of the CIA, to seek out and recruit Ryan Kealey for yet another mission --- to rescue the hostages and neutralize Saifi. Following the events chronicled in THE ASSASSIN, Kealey has been on a world-beating walkabout and wants nothing to do with Harper (or the CIA for that matter).
However, he is reluctantly drawn back in when Harper produces Naomi Kharmai, the woman who Kealey has been trying to forget, even though he can't. The opportunity to work with her and be with her again is too much for him to resist. But Kealey quickly comes to realize that Kharmai, like himself, is badly damaged, to the extent that her presence may jeopardize the mission.
Meanwhile, Saifi has upped the ante by making one of the boldest moves ever perpetrated against the U.S. --- she kidnaps the U.S. Secretary of State while on a diplomatic visit in Pakistan. Kealey now has a new priority: rescue the Secretary of State by any means necessary. Running a breathtaking gauntlet of violence and deceit, Kealey and his team find themselves stumbling erratically along a series of dead ends that results in a disastrous incident in Madrid but that produces their first real lead to locating the Secretary. Gambling everything on a last-ditch rescue, Kealey disobeys orders yet again to carry out what may be his most dangerous mission of all.
Britton continues his marvelous ways, combining meticulous research and an edge-of-the-seat narrative to make THE INVISIBLE, like his previous works, an event. It seems as if no one writes a book with a beginning or an ending like he does, and this latest thriller is no exception. The conclusion leaves at least two major threads unresolved for the future, and the reader will be anticipating more.

Summary: Good read, but ...
Comment: ... it, sadly, fosters the view that the lives of politicians are more valuable than the lives of innocent Americans. Just once, I'd like to see one of these books focus on the need to protect those who are not the well-connected.

Summary: THE INVISIBLE
Comment: I have been reading spy novels since a friend gave me a James Bond novel to read when I was in high school in 1964. I rate this book as one of the best that I have read over the years. The plot is full of suspense and the description of the characters and countries is second to none. I note that this is Mr. Britton's last novel due to his untimely passing. I shall miss his writing very much.

Summary: Where does it go from here?
Comment: Well, I have recently finished reading the latest book from Andrew Britton, The Invisible.I have to say, Andrew was most certainly a talented writer to have begun at such an early age. I agree with most others on here in that it is highly recommended to read the prior 2 books before picking up on this newest release.
I have come to enjoy the Ryan Kealey universe, and I feel I can place this series alongside Vince Flynn and Brad Thor's novels. I have to say though, the only reason this didn't get a full five stars was because I feel the ending didn't keep pace with the rest of the book, in that it felt unfinished. I don't want to give away any spoilers but I feel that in this book, as well as the prior two books, the character of Naomi is in constant turmoil, in that she is changing from one book to another it is like introducing a new character.
With Andrew's untimely death, I wonder where this series will go. I feel it can go on if they find a good ghost writer who can write in Andrew's style. It has happened with Robert Ludlum, hopefully it will happen here because I for one definitely can't wait to pick up the next copy to find out if the ending of this book is as it appear or if it is misleading us.That is all I will say about that so as not to give away any of the plot.
