Great Pulp Thriller!

Vincent Zandri may have created the character of Sam Savage as an Air Marshall, but this is 100% non-stop action. I loved how the author incorporated real places and events in the book Tunnel Rats. Those details really made the story that much more believable, and added to the imagery. This is one fast heart-pumping listen, that I could envision so much with. Andrew B. Wehrlen added to my enjoyment with his stellar performance. He gives the various characters distinguishable voices. I requested this review copy audiobook and have voluntarily written this review. I will definitely listen to more books by this author and narrator. I'm curious to hear if anything more develops of Sam and Cyndi's relationship.

Fast paced

Tunnel Rats A Sam Savage Sky Marshal Thriller: Fast paced, action packed. It's got everything you want in a thriller and Vince Zandri packs a lot of it into his books.
Great narration - It is paced to the action and the narrators voice is enthusiastic and suits the quips and one liners of the book.
A great fun read, Sam Savage will become a favourite of mine.

A quick, action-packed story........

Tunnel Rats is a novella length, action packed story featuring Sam Savage, a former Army Ranger and current air marshal. He is temporarily assigned to follow and gather intel on Channy Linn, a suspected terrorist with a new and more homicidal version of the Viet Cong. Sam is joined by a covert operative named Cindy about whom he knows little and isn't certain that he can trust. Sam and Cindy quickly dive into action when they are captured by Channy, and the story takes all kinds of unexpected twist and turns before reaching a surprise conclusion. I really enjoyed the character of Sam because, although he has much training and skills, he recognizes that he doesn't have any experience with covert operations and willing defers to Cindy's superior knowledge in this area. He is all tough guy, but he is also very down to earth and realistic, and he has a bit of a sarcastic wit that kept this story from being too heavy.

Andrew B Wehrlen delivers an amazing performance. He has a deep, slightly raspy voice that was perfect for Sam's personality. His narration flowed so smoothly that I listened to this novella in one sitting without realizing so much time had passed. I would absolutely listen to another audiobook narrated by Wehrlen in the future.

Tunnel Rats was an Excellent Listen!

I loved listening to Tunnel Rats. This was a straight through listen for me. An excellent thriller, Tunnel Rats was non-stop action without being overdone. Right from the start it had me hooked. The setting was great with some historical references to POW's of the Korean and Viet Nam wars. But getting to the story, it was exciting with well-developed characters, especially Sam Savage. Now his last name Savage might sound a little cliche but it works so well. As an air marshal/ CIA operative his character was strong but on the other hand subtle. I also liked the supporting characters which there were only a few but Cindy was good. The character Cinny however was sinister. This audiobook worked for me and at the end it mentioned some other books written by award winning author Vincent Zandri that I'd love to listen to.

Andrew B. Wehrlen's narration was spot on. He had the perfect voice for Sam Savage. He was Sam Savage. He had the right voice inflections which made it sound as if he were telling you a story from his own experience. I would definitely recommend this audiobook.

Good mile-high view of Sam!

A new action hero arrives on the scene. Our protagonist, Sam Savage is an air marshal. A former Army Ranger, Sam appears to be much more than an airlines security agent. I wasn’t aware that air marshals undertook intelligence missions, and engaged in spycraft. This seems more in the arena of CIA spooks. What do I know? Anyway, Sam is put on the trail of a New Viet Cong terrorist. The story follows Sam and double-agent heroine Cindy through Bangkok, Thailand, Cambodia, and finally into the deadly Viet Cong tunnels of Vietnam. The characters are well defined, and the action is fairly consistent. Not a bad start, although I hope for a deeper plot line if we hear more from Sam Savage. This appears to be a stand-alone novel although it could be the introduction to a new series.
