Publisher's Weekly Review
J. Charles use his extensive theatrical experience to inject some life into the audio version of Britton's third adventure of rogue CIA agent Ryan Kealey. While there are some tight action scenes, the setup is so predictable and cut from such worn fabric that nobody could do much with it. Still, Charles adds a bit of zest to Kealey, a degree of believability to some key female characters and to the "invisible" of the title, a terrorist called Amari Saifi, who has abducted several Americans in Pakistan. Despite Charles's best efforts, listeners will probably feel they've heard it all before. Sadly, the 27-year-old Britton died (of an undiagnosed heart condition) just weeks after the release of this novel. Simultaneous release with the Kensington hardcover (Reviews, Jan. 7). (Mar.)

Booklist Review
Britton's third novel is a smoothly written, suspenseful story of international intrigue. Ryan Kealey, ex-CIA agent with a troubled past, is called out of retirement to find out whether two seemingly isolated events are connected: the kidnapping of tourists in Pakistan and the abduction of the U.S. secretary of state. Ryan is reluctant to take the job, even more reluctant to resume contact with a woman he once cared about deeply. As he hunts for the notorious terrorist leader who may be behind the incidents, Ryan realizes quickly that his own life is at risk. Britton is exciting and unpredictable but without ever crossing the line into B-movie clichés.--Pitt, David Copyright 2008 Booklist
