About this audiobook
In the history of espionage, there's never been one like him. But Major Sean Drummond never says die. Especially when an old flame begs him to defend her brigadier general husband in the biggest treason case in U.S. history. And even when Drummond is up against the fiercest prosecutor in the Army and fighting two murder charges. With an unconventional and beautiful co-counsel, Drummond plunges into an investigation that will unearth a damning array of secrets and cover-ups-and reveal a master manipulator who doesn't care who or what goes up in flames . . . as long as Drummond's client burns.

Reviews for The Kingmaker
77 ratings4 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Another great Sean Drummond story! Haig's stories never drag. There are very interesting characters, and lots of intrigue and humor.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5The author is probably unaware that the originail term "Kingmaker" referred to the Earl of Warwick, when he placed Edward IV on the throne of England.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Maj. Sean Drummond remains a very interesting character. While I enjoyed The Kingmaker, it wasn't quite as good as Mortal Allies, but that would be quite a lot to live up to. My biggest complaint with The Kingmaker revolves around the ending which, frankly, I didn't like. Oh, well. Still a very good story.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A perfectly serviceable thriller about a man who pulls strings in Russia (and the former Soviet republics) as well as the United States. Told from the perspective of a self-deprecating JAG officer attempting to defend his client from a charge of treason, this was a quick read.
