From Publishers Weekly
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.

Ryan Kealey is on a mission to rescue the secretary of state, who has been kidnapped by terrorists in Pakistan. Under the loose aegis of the CIA, Kealey operates outside the rules, following his instincts. J. Charles keeps pace with the story's high-adrenaline plot. His characterizations reflect the subtle contrasts between the Washington chiefs and the field operatives, particularly Kealey. Delivering the intensity of the chase without overdoing it, Charles maintains the suspense without wearing it thin. He also makes judicious use of accents to increase the credibility of this thriller. J.E.M. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine--
