Drone just seemed to Drone on and on and...

Would you try another book from Mike Maden and/or Jason Culp?

I have listened to Jason Culp before. He is not in my top 10 favorite narrators but he is not the worst either.

Would you be willing to try another book from Mike Maden? Why or why not?

I'm not sure. I found myself checking how much more time was left a little too often. I found my mind wandering but had to finish just because.

Any additional comments?

I purchased this book because I noticed that a second book in this series was just released and I have had this one in my wish list for a very long time but was hesitant based on some of the reviews I had read.

Unsatisfying Ending but Good Story

I had to mark this one down because I did not much care for the ending, but overall it was a good listen. I think in many respects when I listen to a novel of this variety I am thinking that there will likely be a sequel. I am almost certain, however, that there won't be one here. I don't think this one is set up that way. It's an interesting premise and there were only a few things that made me go "hmmmm." Definitely worth a listen, but likely not to be your favorite book.

Where is Maden's next novel?

Having run out of books by my favorite authors (Griffin, Clancy, Flynn, Demille, etc) to read, I was looking for something new to spend my most recent credit on. I came across Mike Maden's Drone. In an age where a large bit of our military capability has been outsourced to private military contractors, this book seemed to be incredibly timely and indicative of the world we currently live in. The story was riveting and kept a nice pace all the way through. I felt that the end was a little weak, but not enough to take away from the overall story. It was good enough that I hope we will see more from Maden, and his character Troy Pierce.

Clancy-like Story, New Action Character

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Mike Maden might be a successor to Tom Clancy. Drone is a terrific story with a great performance.

Jason Culp and Mike Madden

Excellent narrator and and book. I’ve listened to a boatload of Brad Thor and every Vince Flynn book there is. LISTEN TO THIS BOOK!! I can’t wait for number three.

Reader read this badly making a boring book worse.

I am going to return this book! Am into the 4th chapter and I can't get past the really bad job Jason Culp does reading this--it's like its a National Geographic documentary with every word seemingly over-emphasized, meticulously pronounced as if reading to school kids. The story just doesn't flow. I have never understood the reasoning of publishers in their selection of readers--for books on tape, that's often more important than the story. This is a decent story line and I would have gritted out if the reader was better.

Very good in every respect.

So nice to listen to a story that grabs you at the first word and holds on to you through out.

...high tech thriller that was edge of the seat!

...not surprised at all to how good Mike Maden’s Drone series is. Good friend said it’s a good series and he is dead on! Couldn't put it down! Lots of techno thriller stuff. Drone is book one of four in the series. Hope the others are as good as the first one!

Good Read

enjoyed the book, good story line and I look forward to reading the sequel. the author does seem to enjoy giving you vivid detail of folks being shot or blown up.

Great Story, Captivating

This book had very few slow points. it was action packed and well narrated. This book is a must.
