OUTSOURCED by R. J. Hillhouse (unabridged) is presented by Blackstone Audio and comes with what is perhaps the best audiobook app available (see FEATURES, below).

“Listening to Hubers excellent reading adds to the pleasure of Hillhouses solid plotting and storytelling…” (Publishers Weekly)

When Camille Black is approached by the U.S. government to track down and eliminate a man accused of selling arms to Middle East terrorist cells, the quarry turns out to be her ex-fiancé. Battling her old feelings but fueled by his disloyalty, she sets off into the shadows of the War on Terror to find him.

Self-contained, this audiobook app is perfect for your commute, on a trip, or while relaxing. Based on a library-quality recording, this app was built especially for your iPhone and iPod Touch. No unreadable text, no endless scrolling on a tiny screen. The audio is of higher-than-normal quality, making for a great listening experience that will not tire your ears or grate on your nerves.

NOTICE: This app includes the exact same 5-star recording offered elsewhere at much higher prices. It was professionally recorded by Blackstone Audio’s Earphones®-winning narrator Hillary Huber. You are not buying yet another amateur or volunteer narration. No clicks, background noises, throat clearing, mispronunciations, tinny voices or monotones will be found here.

“Outsourced has set a new standard for the twenty-first-century spy thriller…A stunning and eye-opening story of the War on Terror." (Nelson DeMille, New York Times best-selling author)
