Homeland: Carrie’s Run Audiobook Summary
An edge-of-your-seat original prequel based on Showtime’s hit series Homeland
Beirut, 2006. CIA operations officer Carrie Mathison barely escapes an ambush while attempting a clandestine meeting with a new contact, code-name Nightingale. Suspicious that security has been compromised, she challenges the station chief in a heated confrontation that gets her booted back to Langley.
Expert in recognizing and anticipating behavioral patterns–a skill enhanced by her bipolar disorder she keeps secret to protect her career–Carrie is increasingly certain that a terrorist plot has been set in motion. She risks a shocking act of insubordination that helps her uncover secret evidence connecting Nightingale with Abu Nazir, the leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq. Determined to stop the terrorist mastermind, she embarks on an obsessive quest that will nearly destroy her.
Filled with the suspense and plot twists that have made Homeland a must-watch series, this riveting tale reveals the compelling untold backstories of the series’ main characters and takes fans deeper into the life and mind of one brilliant female spy.

[takitutaki.wordpress.com]Kiedyś natrafiłem na serial Homeland. Lubie teorie spiskowe i thrillery Ludluma, który umiał namieszać tak, że aż buty spadały, a człowiek nie wiedział gdzie się urodził i kto z kim, dlaczego i za ile. Homeland mnie zaciekawił. Niestety był to jakiś odcinek ze środka i stwi

To begin with, I am a nut about the Showtime series "Homeland," so when I saw this on the shelf in Target I just couldn't resist. In two days I finished this 350 page book, and I have to say that I enjoyed every minute of this read! This is not a book of high literary fiction, it is a book based upon the prequel years before the series. I have to say if you are a fan of the series you will certainly enjoy this book, and it certainly gives you insight into the life of Carrie "pre CIA." Loved it...but I am bias! Hope there is more to come!!!!!!

Intense. There were some very intense stuff in here that made me feel like I was watching Saving Private Ryan or American Sniper. The drive from the Bagdad airport to the Green Zone seemed so real. Every time I see or watch a depiction of war I have to just shake my head. I don't know how they do it.This is a great stand alone espionage thriller. I don't think you'd have any trouble with the characters if unfamiliar with the Homeland tv show. If you do watch the show, this is Carrie's first assignment as an analyst (spy). We learn a lot about Carrie's life before the CIA, family, and discovering her illness through short flashbacks. These flashbacks worked nicely to break up the action as it was pretty non-stop.I've read some reviews that claim the characters have a different tone/relationship than in the show. I don't agree. Carrie has the exact same voice and the others sound as they should considering this is before the craziness of the show. For example, David Estees meets her for the first time so of course he doesn't have the same annoyance with her yet as latter on.Highly recommended. For the secret code names if nothing else.

An adrenaline pumping whopper of a thriller. If you love the TV series, this one is for you. It has all the action and drama of the TV series and more. The characterisation of Carrie, the CIA agent, is excellent. You get to know the heroine with bipolar disorder and her tormented family background more deeply and empathise with her even more deeply. The novel brings alive the setting of jihadi-infested Middle East vividly. There is a scene where Carrie and her colleagues are getting from point A to point B with the imminent threat of sniper attack pulsating all along and you can actually visualize it like a movie playing in your head, nail biting, raw, visceral. Read this if you love Homeland, the TV series or even if you haven't had a chance to watch it yet!

I wasn't expecting to enjoy this paperback original but did I! The fast paced story is the prequel to Carrie and the CIA world she inhabits on TV's Homeland.it adds a clear insight into her bi-polar disease,her early family life and her relationship with Saul Berenson. The story was filled with riveting action and suspense. Thank you Good Reads for sending me Carrie's run and the chance to preview it.

This book sets the stage for the hit TV show "Homeland". I do not have Showtime, dammit, because if the show is as good as the book it is something special. A tightly written and fast-paced story that was hard to put down. It made me want to read more from this author. And get a Netflix subscription.
