About this audiobook

Striving to become Australia’s greatest spy, Jared Pond goes on frivolous missions around the world, and keeps failing in spectacular ways.

Pond, Jared Pond. Australia’s greatest spy and womanizer, according to himself. Equipped with a secret government pill that makes him immune to toxins, Jared carries out missions across the world for the Australian Prime Minister, Scurry Morrissette.

In his line of duty, Jared faces off against Russian spies, the Yakuza, Norse religion zealots, Malaysian drug smugglers, French aristocrats, Tajikistani rebels, Somalian pirates, and monocle-wearing lunatics.

Unfortunately, the missions invariably end up in failure, when Jared bumbles around the world as the luckiest and most clueless agent the world has ever seen.

Will Jared achieve his goals, and will the Pond Train reach its destination?

I'm not quite sure Why this author doesn't just write in his own language ! To maintain having books translated into English and then have them read by, one assumes, a pal or FOAF who "speaks english great!" is possibly doing a great disservice to the Author ! Audio Books are a "listening experience" beyond listening to Radio or Podcasts, in that the "Listening Reader" usually isolates themselves with earphones. This makes it essential for the Narrator to be almost Unintrusive, creating a "space" wherein the "Listening Reader" can "project" images created by the written word! The usual exception to this "rule" is when the narrator is a skilled Actor (Radio, Animation and Theatre actors are - usually! - the Best!) Listening to a well-acted book narration is a Great experience – when done well. Anything Else is practically an "assault on the senses" – Hearing in this case – and is one of the fastest ways to kill an author's career ! So, Not For Me in Any Form!! 😮‍💨☘️POD🍀🤯
