For Delilah, the Mossad's top seductress, the parameters of the assignment were routine. The contractor: MI6. The objective: infiltrate a terror network, this one operating out of London. The stakes: a series of poison gas attacks on civilian population centers.There's just one wrinkle. The target is a woman - as smart, beautiful, and committed as Delilah herself. And for a cynical operative thrust suddenly out of her element, the twists and turns of the spy game are nowhere near as dangerous as the secrets and desires of the human heart.

Publisher's Summary
NSA director Theodore Anders has a simple goal: collect every phone call, email, and keystroke tapped on the Internet. He knows unlimited surveillance is the only way to keep America safe.
Evelyn Gallagher doesn't care much about any of that. She just wants to keep her head down and manage the NSA's camera network and facial recognition program so she can afford private school for her deaf son, Dash.
But when Evelyn discovers the existence of a program code-named God's Eye and connects it with the mysterious deaths of a string of journalists and whistle-blowers, her doubts put her and Dash in the crosshairs of a pair of government assassins: Delgado, a sadistic bomb maker and hacker, and Manus, a damaged giant of a man who until now has cared for nothing beyond protecting the director.
Within an elaborate game of political blackmail, terrorist provocations, and White House scheming, a global war is being fought - a war between those desperate to keep the state's darkest secrets and those intent on revealing them. A war that Evelyn will need all her espionage training and savvy to survive, because the director has the ultimate advantage: The God's Eye View.

Well....It's okay. I guess.
I'm a Barry Eisler fan. But...
Every writer has his strengths and weaknesses. Unfortunately, this book highlights Eisler's weaknesses. He's very good at the action part, the suspense, the logic. He's not so good at characters. John Rain is/was a perfect vehicle for Eisler, as there isn't much deep thought involved.
That's the first problem with this story. The characters are one-dimensional. Maybe one and a half.
The second problem is the NSA/technology piece. I understand the overall premise. Maybe even agree with it a little. But when he gets down to describing the nitty-gritty details, it's all wrong. He didn't do his research.
Eisler needs a good friend (or a good editor) to tell him when he's riding his personal hobbyhorse too much, instead of writing fiction.
Overall, I'd say the book is okay for burning time, maybe a little bit entertaining. But if someone asked me for a Barry Eisler book, this is not the one I'd recommend.

Gratuitous Sex and Violence + Stock Plot
Was The God's Eye View worth the listening time?
No, not really. Eisler typically does pretty decent characters, but the characters in this book seemed stereotypical and hollow. The whole "person knows too much" + "will do whatever it takes to protect my kid" + "crazy NSA/CIA/Other TLA director bent on having all the power" + "2 dimensional bad guy who has redemption story at the end" adds up to a book that I don't feel is worthy of a credit.
I don't mind violence in books when it helps the plot, but Eisler graphically describes brutal killings in several places as a lazy replacement for taking the time to establish that the antagonist is a bad person - on top of that, because it's so clumsily done, you can see the redemption story coming a mile away.
I also don't mind sex in a book when it helps the plot. This book has 2 lengthy and graphic sex scenes that sound like they were written by a 12 year old boy describing what he thinks sex is like. It's awful. I endured the first one, but the second one had me hitting the 30 second skip button over and over until it was done. Scott Brick could probably pull off these scenes, but the author just sounded excited which was a little disturbing.
On to the technology - the NSA can suddenly use any camera attached to the internet to watch people. Can use the microphone of any device that has an internet connection, can track any person instantly as long as their phone is turned on, blah blah blah. Whether or not this is something that can be done on demand is questionable, but the plot reminds me of the movie Enemy of the State that came out 18 year ago.
If you want something pulpy and that you can ignore entire chapters and not be lost at the end, this is the listen for you. If not, there are much better ways to spend a credit.

Go ahead, read it...
Story started off slow and was lagging until closer to the end. Performance was decent but some of the male voices sounded too similar which was confusing at first until I figured out who was who. I wish all these audio books would use seperate narrators for male/female roles, because a man trying to sound like a woman and vice versa sounds ridiculous. And it's not the narrators' fault, they do the best they can. For some reason I imagined Manis as a Native American man, but it worked for me. Overall, this book is definitely worth reading if you're into CIA/spy/government stories and I like that it included many "real life" aspects. I think anyone who reads this will find it entertaining and thought provoking despite the voice issue, which is easily overlooked once you get into the story.

Author, heal thyself
The story itself was barely plausible but the reading made the experience excruciating. Mr. Eisler is a decent writer. I got this book because I enjoyed his John Rain stories. This, however, was not up to that standard and was made worse by Eisler's sophomoric reading. It probably would have been passable had he not attempted voices. They were beyond bad but did not reach the laughable sweet spot.

Could have been 5 stars, but...
This is a well written espionage story. Great characters and character development. Great narration.
Overall very well done, but has a lot of graphic sexual stuff that has no purpose other than satisfying people's need for verbal pornography. The sex does nothing to further the story and I found it rather distracting and overly graphic. When is audible going to come up with a content rating system?
If the author had left out the graphic sex and the sexual assault I would have rated this book with 5 stars...

Loved the Book! Loved the Narrator!
I think I may have a new favorite author! Well, 2nd favorite... Stephen King will always be my #1, but if all of Barry Eisler's books are as good as this one, he is a very close 2nd. I usually only listen to audiobooks when I get in bed at night and I set the timer for 30-45 minutes so the audio will stop shortly after I fall asleep. I couldn't put this one down (so to speak) and listened not only half the night, but throughout the day when I could as well. I finished the entire book (11+ hrs, I think) in less than 2 days. I can't wait to start the next one!
BTW, I read some reviews written by people who thought the sex scenes were much too graphic and didn't add anything, or have any relevance to, the story. I have to admit, the author/narrator did a very good job of creating a very detailed visual in my mind! If you're reticent or prudish about passionate sex, you can always just fast forward through those few short scenes. I do think that the scenes are very relevant to the story, however. The intense sexual desire and relationship the characters have with each other seems to be, in part, the physical expression of an underlying, deep longing to feel accepted and understood and needed by someone, and finding those things in each other is what drives them to make the choices they make. The author/narrator does a fantastic job of pulling you into the characters, making you feel that you know them on a deeper level and not just as some characters in a book.
Yea... I think I'm hooked! Keeping my fingers crossed that the next one I read or listen to is just as good.y

Good story but Eisler def upped the lewdity
I have listened to all Eisler's other works on Audible & greatly enjoyed them. With this book i listened to chap 26 & had enough. If I wished ti hear lewd words/descriptors such as heard in porn, I would have purchased that. This work, however, was sold as a spy/espionage novel. Eisler's lucky these are not rated as it would have an explicit warning on it... very discouraging...

Good thriller, excellent audio
Though I have got mixed feelings about whistleblowers to whom the author dedicated his book, it would be difficult for me not to appreciate his talent in constructing the breath-taking story, full of the action twists, expressive episodes and characters. So, putting aside the author's intended 'ideological' message, I think it is an exemplary thriller of its kind, not worse than any of Barry Eisler's John Rain novels. Last but not least, I simply love listening to his audio narrative.

Another Great Barry Eisler Story
I love all Barry Eisler's books and he is a terrific narrator (should do other books in addition to his own). This is another great addition to the list with a new character, Marvin (won't say more), who I hope to see in future stories. The story is action packed, moves swiftly, and takes on the issue of government over reach. You won't want to put it down till you finish.

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
I got about 2/3 of the way through this book and found that I was dreading returning to it. Yes, there is evil in the world but I don't need details of torture.

Unbelievable so probably true!
I've long enjoyed Barry Eisler's work - I like John Rain - but this stand alone novel is simply breathtaking! It's so incredible that it's very credible. It's so entertaining that you don't realise how factual it could actually be!
I can't think of anything to liken this to other than that Will Smith movie where 'they' were able to cyber track him and make his life a misery! Well this novel has bought that story bang up to date! I look forward to seeing this made into its own movie - as long as they don't change a word!
Barry Eisler is not only a talented author, but he is a fabulous narrator too! So much to enjoy about this novel!

Too much sexual violence
I found the story and the concept excellent but I found the level and the descriptions and the details of the sexual violence to be completely inappropriate. And unnecessary to the story. It felt like reading a novel that would be read by people who rather than watch violent pornography want to read about it. If you don’t enjoy descriptions of violent graphic sexual assault and rape you might find this book quite difficult to read even though the story is actually really good

Story
For months, Mitch Rapp has been steadily working his way through a list of men, bullet by bullet. With each kill, the tangled network of monsters responsible for the slaughter of 270 civilians becomes increasingly clear. He is given his next target: a plump Libyan diplomat who is prone to drink and is currently in Paris without a single bodyguard. Rapp finds him completely unprotected and asleep in his bed. With confidence in his well-honed skills and conviction of the man’s guilt, he easily sends a bullet into the man’s skull. But in the split second it takes the bullet to leave the silenced pistol, everything changes.

Story
If you've never read a Repairman Jack novel, this is the place to begin. It's 1990. A twenty-one-year-old named Jack has dropped out of college, leaving his old life behind to build a new one in New York City. Manhattan's rough edges are jagged enough to shred any unwary newcomer, but perhaps not one who is determined to stay off the grid, at any cost, in the busiest metropolis on earth. And to do so, he'll have to take jobs of a less than legal nature.
