About this audiobook
“A high-energy tale that unfolds at a machine-gun pace…Betley has become essential reading.” —Booklist
A global conspiracy threatens America’s position in the current balance of power in this “story of action, history, and secrets that is as imaginative as it is compelling” (Steve Berry, #1 New York Times bestselling author) from the author of Overwatch.
Roughly two years after the events of Overwatch, Logan West and John Quick are sent to Alaska to investigate the possible presence of a Russian black ops team on a mission to steal American next-generation technology. The resulting violent confrontation triggers a global search for the stolen technology and threatens to pit the United States against China in a looming shadow war and technology race. As Logan and John—now joined by the chief of the CIA’s Special Operations Group, Cole Matthews—battle their way through Spain, the Mediterranean, and ultimately, across Sudan, an imminent threat arises at home that FBI Deputy Director Mike Benson must face and determine if it is part of a deadly global conspiracy.
As New York Times bestselling author Kyle Mills raves, “Betley continues to turn the screws with the relentless action, unbearable tension, and terrifying threats that we all loved in Overwatch. With Oath of Honor, he cements his position as one of the genre’s new stars.”

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great book! Can’t wait for the next one! Great characters with a gripping plot and settings!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Phenomenal storyline. Can hardly wait for the next book.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Can I start by saying that I hate it when an author decides it's a good idea to kill off one of the good guys??!! It's just not right and it breaks my heart. However, "Oath of Honor "was another exciting, action-packed read by Matthew Betley and I actually thought it was better than the first novel in the series, "Overwatch". I hadn't realised that Betley was a former marine officer when I read the first book, but it makes sense. His writing in authentic.Logan West and John Quick (brothers-in-arms) are fabulous characters and I love the humour they share. I was also impressed with a new female protagonist who appeared on the scene, Amira. Not only is she lethal and intelligent, she is a deadly assassin and I would love for her to have her own novel. I think her back story would be fascinating.With evil and danger all around, globe hopping, likeable characters and a rapid-paced plot, "Oath of Honor" was a fun, entertaining read.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Matthew Betley set the bar high with his debut action thriller, Overwatch, a year ago and now with his second novel, Oath of Honor, he’s completely blown the lid off the joint. Oath of Honor is one of the best thrillers I’ve read in the last year. Best in the last 5 years. The action starts on page one and simply doesn’t let up.The action starts when a piece of top secret equipment is stolen from the U.S. Government in Alaska. A high-tech piece of satellite hacking equipment that must not be allowed to fall into enemy hands. Logan West and John Quick are hot on the trail and once again are racing across the U.S., Europe and the Sudan in a race to stop a global conspiracy aimed at the United States and its interests. The involvement of Russian, Chinese and North Korean elements make it especially difficult to unravel.Betley excels with cinematic action pieces. Battles on a North Korean freighter, an off the books prison in the Sudan, a cemetery in Khartoum and a mining facility outside of Las Vegas are among the most thrilling. Painting a picture that propels you along and takes your breath away is an exhilarating experience. Betley does this time and time again. The pace of this story is so fast it may burn your hands.In Logan West and John Quick, Betley has created strong likeable main characters that make it easy to believe why others would walk through fire for them and why they do it for each other. He is also adept at adding new characters such as Cole and Amira who quickly become integral parts of the story and the team. As good as each of the first two books have been, the ending teases at much more excitement to come.Matthew Betley is no longer chasing the pack of thriller writers, he’s leading it. Oath of Honor is one of the most exciting books you’ll read this year. I can’t recommend it highly enough.I was fortunate to receive an advance copy of this book.
