A stunning new espionage book by a master of the genre, Beirut Station follows a young female CIA officer whose mission to assassinate a high-level Hezbollah terrorist reveals a dark truth that puts her life at risk.

Lebanon, 2006. The Israel–Hezbollah war is tearing Beirut apart and the country is on the brink of chaos.

The CIA and Mossad are targeting a reclusive Hezbollah terrorist. They turn to young Lebanese-American CIA agent, Analise, who has the perfect plan. However, Analise begins to suspect that Mossad has a motive of its own.

She alerts the agency but their response is for her to drop it. Analise is now the target and there is no one she can trust.

A tightly wound international thriller, Beirut Station is Paul Vidich's best book to date.

I think the character needed to be more organized to be believable. I also feel that the main character need to be a bit more of an intellect.

Disorganized

Narrator a bit monotone but with a pleasant voice and accent. Much of the dialogue, however, was read as if it were bullet points. Overall story was compelling. If the narrator was a bit more expressive, I would’ve enjoyed it much more.

Good story, ok narration

I don't know if the details were accurate, but then probably nobody does. I was active duty 3/2 3nd MarDiv, and the Marines who were blown up were only 2 rotations after us. We got a lot of briefings and I had friends who served in Lebannon and ME "peacekeeping" before and after and the murkiness and double dealing all seems true. In any case the author puts a human face on the events of the time. It's not the same as viewing a satellite photo, or reading a telex cable.
The narrator was awesome, she has a beautiful speaking voice that makes the story flow. She is now one of my favorite narrators.

So That's What That Was All About?

This is a Paul Vidich novel. That means it's well written, and I will leave others to comment further on that.

My disappointment is in the reader. I am NOT especially critical of readers and am fine with different accents, approaches, genders, etc. My complaint here is that the reader seems to take short breaks (all too often) when she may as well be reading an instruction manual. She'll be going along, reading as you'd expect, and then a few sentences just get read as if she just has to get through the words so a computer AI service will transcribe them and do some search... And then she'll return to reading with normal expressiveness. Maybe this is intended to achieve some effect, but whatever it is, it didn't hit it for me.

It was not enough to ruin the book for me, but it was definitely distracting. Really too bad.

Disappointing narration

Please don’t take note of the overall or story 3 stars. I could not listen to the narrator any further than the first nine chapters and the app requires stars on all three metrics. I just wanted to warn other listeners about this narrator. I’ve noted her name to ensure not to buy anything narrated by her in future. I’ll buy the paperback of this one.

The narration is terrible

The core of the story occurs during the 2006 attack by Israel on Lebanon following Hezbollah’s killing and kidnapping of Israeli soldiers. In the book the jaded CIA head of station in Beirut is critical of Israeli activities in Lebanon, by both the IDF and Mossad. The lead character, a stunning junior CIA officer gets caught up in intrigue between Mossad and the CIA. I’m unsure whether the author has firm political views on the topics the book addresses or whether his sole aim is to relate intrigue as a writer of a good spy-story. The book kept my rapt attention.

Interesting and dramatic

The story line was captivating, if somewhat predictable. However, the narration was so bad to the point where it completely distracted from becoming immersed in the story. The narrator sounded like she was reading a shopping list, devoid of any emotion or inflection. In addition, her mispronunciation of many words made it often difficult to follow what was being said. In future I will avoid any book that she narrates, regardless of how well the book may be written.

Terrible narration

Narration not very good-hard to tell what was conversation and what was just information.
