Summary
When an oil tanker is hijacked by a novice band of Somali pirates, it's a near impossible problem to solve in one of the most remote and dangerous places on earth.
A team of negotiators, security, and maritime experts are called in with one job to do, save the lives of the crew.
Can this "A-team" of experts do so? Can they prevent a massive environmental disaster, rescue the ship, and its hundred-million dollar cargo? There are reputations to be made, or lost....
The Ransom Drop, a true-to-real-life military suspense thriller that reveals the secrets behind the resolution of Somali piracy. It's factually correct, fictionally fantastic, and written by a guy who delivered some of the largest ransoms ever paid at sea.

Fast paced and interesting
I could not stop listening - the author knows what he is talking about and has written a taught and insightful novel. The reader hit the mark too and I spent 10 great hours enjoying the book.

Highly Entertaining Thriller
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to The Ransom Drop. Not my usual genre but I was captivated. This book had all the realism of an eye opening documentary, nicely married to an engaging and gripping storyline, not to mention a great cast of characters…CNN meets Netflix in an audiobook! Well deserving of the Audio Book Reviewer’s Choice Award. Can’t wait for Jungle Heist!

Military Thriller and More
A group of inexperienced Somalian pirates steals an oil tanker. A team of experts is charged with locating and recovering the oil tanker. Of course, the pirates being novices does not make it any easier but rather more deadly in completing the ransom drop. There is much more to this than meets the eye and the team is about to find out just how complicated and deadly things are going to become.
The author, Rob Phayre has written a thrilling non-stop action-filled story that will keep the listener captivated. Each character is well developed, the plot twists are excellent and at times leaves the listener wide-eyed. The dialog was authentic as well as the action and plot. This is one of those stories that will keep niggling at the back of your mind. Phayre has experience with ransom drops and real-life pirates which makes his ability to weave a story around the facts in an entertaining and vivid manner possible.
The narrator, Ian Fisher, gives a good solid performance with unique voices and accents that accurately reflects each character’s personality. He speaks clearly and with a steady cadence that helps move the story forward. Fisher injects the right amount of intenseness and suspense keeping the audience on the edge of their chairs.
This is a book that captivates and keeps the listener engaged from beginning to end. If you enjoy military thrillers, suspense, and intrigue, this is it!
The production and quality of this audiobook were perfect. I encountered no issues.
