Altered State of Affairs

Steven, a freshly minted Army Ranger with big ambitions, is eager to take down bad guys—and maybe charm a few bad girls along the way. His first mission: locate a Soviet master scientist hiding in the rugged French Pyrenees before a sadistic terrorist beats him to it.

On his journey, Steven encounters a traitor in a field of red poppies, a stunning Mossad black-ops agent, mouthwatering cassoulet, and Cindy, a telepathic, eyeless doll. As Steven races to prevent catastrophe, he discovers that nothing is as it seems—least of all, himself.

Spanning decades, this story follows Steven’s journey from adolescence in 1960s Cleveland Heights to the grueling rigors of Army Ranger training at Fort Benning. With non-stop, death-defying action, rich Israeli cuisine, and the triumphant yet tragic history of the Jewish people, Steven must rise to the occasion as an atypical hero. And maybe, just maybe, win the heart of that beautiful Mossad agent… after saving the world from a horrific weapon of mass destruction.

This audiobook is brought to life by Charlie Thurston, an award-winning narrator celebrated for his exceptional performances, including his work on 'Demon Copperhead.' Thurston’s masterful narration elevates the story, immersing listeners in Steven’s world of danger, intrigue, and unexpected humor.
