This is a great read of a trilogy. It is a very intriguing read. That keeps you on the edge of your seat if your a thrill reader, this does keep you intralled. The Narrator does a great job. I do recommend it.

Awesome collection of compelling thrillers…
FALSE FLAG (BOOK 1)
I began this book thinking I would just go through a couple of chapters before bed – I was SO wrong. I was hooked from the beginning and had to keep going until I finished the last sentence. This is a great story that clips along as a brisk pace, it is filled with suspense and there are such interesting characters to fuel the action. The lead character, Frank, comes into some money and decides to take a bit of time to travel. What follows is an adventure filled with conspiracy, action, and first-rate globe-trotting excitement that will forever change the course of Frank’s life.
PANDORA RED (BOOK 2)
This is the second Frank Bowen thriller and it takes place about 8 years after the events of False Flag. During the intervening years, Frank has trained relentlessly for his field position with MI6 and had some adventures about which he reminisces briefly in this story which takes him to Central America and Cuba as he and his team search for a rogue data analyst codenamed Pandora. This analyst has uncovered a vast governmental conspiracy centered around covert intelligence-gathering and surveillance of the general public. At immense risk to her personal safety and at the cost of her career, this dauntless young woman makes a copy of the top-secret files outlining the plans for instituting this surveillance and makes a run for it. Reminiscent of the Edward Snowden saga, this is a fast-paced thriller featuring a lone whistleblower on the run whilst trying to get information to the masses about the government-sanctioned infringement of civil liberties and personal privacy. Our hero, Frank, is dispatched with a team of MI6 agents to recover the data and the analyst but nothing goes as planned and the adventure, danger, and suspense fuel a wild and harrowing ride to the very end.
GHOST ORDER (BOOK 3)
Jay Tinsiano gives us another fast-paced, action-filled thriller with Frank Bowen as the lead character. Rest assured that when Frank is called into play, the assignment, no matter how straightforward it may seem, will always go off the rails with high adventure and plenty of twists and turns to hold your attention from start to finish. In this story, Frank is tasked with escorting an asset from one location to another. That sounds easy enough, but the journey that follows is filled with unexpected dangers, intrigue, and players whose loyalties are not what they seem.
For those choosing the audio version of these stories, the narrator, Chris MacDonnell, gave a stellar performance in all three of these stories. His accent adds to the atmosphere of these spy thrillers but, additionally, he offers the listener a brilliant repertoire of vocal characterizations for the various individuals in the stories and he keeps the pace and cadence of his delivery consistent with the situations in which the characters find themselves. Well-written and beautifully narrated – what more can we ask for?
While I did purchase a copy of each of these books separately, I was provided with a copy of the audiobook collection of all 3 books by the author and I am voluntarily offering this honest and unbiased review.
False Flag, my first read from author Jay Tinsiano and it won’t be my last.
Pandora Red, my second read from author Jay Tinsian0.
host Order (A Frank Bowen Conspiracy Thriller Book 3), my third read from author Jay Tinsian0. Extremely well written, the characters, well developed, each book has been better than the last. I’m a character reader, I get into the characters. Who and what they are. Why they do the things they do. The things that make a reader get invested into the characters and thereby the book and this book does! I was given an Audible copy of this book & am voluntarily reviewing it. I was impressed and enjoyed the vocal variety & inflections of narrator Chris Macdonnell. I look forward to reading more in this series & from this author. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 – July 24, 2018).
This set is my first exposure to Jay Tinsiano’s writing and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
The first book of the three is a bit of a slow-burner as it contains a lot of scene-setting, but it does culminate in a very exciting conclusion. The other two books develop the central character, Frank Bowen’s, character both as a special agent, but also as a family man. They also get more exciting and adrenaline fuelled. I also really liked that there are great descriptions of some very exotic locations.
If you enjoy special agent thrillers then I can definitely recommend this collection.
I did receive a complimentary copy of this box set but have voluntarily written this honest review.
Frank Bowen Conspiracy Thriller Series: Books 1-3 by Jay Tinsiano and narrated by Chris MacDonnell is an audible book set I requested and the review is voluntary. These books are very intriguing and exciting with plenty of action and adventure. After the first book I wondered why Frank would even trust his guys to give him another assignment! Book two he ended up in yet another predicament because of them! Ugh! Each book is a few years apart so maybe he forgot but I don’t think I would! I don’t want to tell you why to spoil it! The third book was kind of payback or karma, lol! I don’t normally read or listen to shovels but I am trying to expand my horizons! I truly enjoyed these books.
Book1, False Flag, was a very intense politically thriller about a man set up as a terrorist while in Hong Kong. He was working for for the UK government at the time. The UK government is after him and the Hong Kong government. Soon Lots of governments have his picture. There is a lot of twists and turns, action, adventure, suspense, and a slight touch of romance in here. Fast paced.
Book 2 is Pandora Red and it is just as much a suspenseful thriller as book one. There are secret files that show how the UK is spying on it’s people. Everyone wants the file and will do anything to get it. It is the UK version of the Snowden files! Government never admits wrong doing and accuses the whistleblower. But the story here is totally different! Wild and action packed! Our guy must quit trusting his MI6 friend!
Book 3, Ghost Order, deals with transporting an American from point A to B, no airplane, and keep him alive. There are a lot of people wanting him. They don’t care how many or who the kill to get him. I liked this one best.
This was a great set and I probably wouldn’t have read it if I hadn’t made the effort to expand my wings!
The narration was wonderful, just like a British spy novel should sound in my head! Lol!
