Falconer Narrator: Dina Pearlman Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 01-30-18 Publisher: Audible Studios Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: There's a reason she swore she'd never go back Four years after Ivy "Holly" Wood's dramatic escape from Terradox, the once-hostile romosphere's new hotel and leisure development is thriving. But while adventurous guests from all corners of the Earth marvel at the awesome wonders of the Terradox Resort's artificial environment, a deadly threat looms large. When it becomes clear that an unimaginable risk offers the only hope of preventing an unimaginable disaster, responsibility for the safety of the many innocent civilians stranded on Terradox once again falls on Holly's shoulders. A familiar crew joins Holly in her task, dismissed by others as a suicide mission, but the alarming view from their Karrier's window might soon make them wish they hadn't. Compared to this, surviving the untamed Terradox wilderness was a walk in the park.... The Fall of Terradox is a direct sequel to Terradox, from the author of the international best seller and Audible.com Best of 2016 finalist Not Alone. Members Reviews: Really, really good book. Read both Terradox books in sequence. Read as fast as I could. Could hardly wait to find out what happens next. Loved all the characters. Looking forward to the next book. My thanks to Craig for taking me out of a dull existence for a while. I'm 79 and don't have much to do except read. Hate TV. OK story with good characters The use of "Romotech" in the story was intriguing and I would have preferred more description and inclusion regarding what it is and how it works. Maybe AI nanotechnology, quantum computing. Rimotech would have been the most interesting character in the story. Great I really enjoyed reading this book thank you for writing this boon Good read It kept me guessing. It was suspenseful. I would recommend this to any one especially science needs. . . . Fasten your seatbelts and get ready for action! I just finished reading an ARC copy of The Fall of Terradox and I am so excited to review this awesome book. To all of the readers of the first book, Terradox, just a word of caution...you will recall that the action started really quickly in the first book. In this second book the author gives a bit of background to bring us up to date before launching into a new adventure. I urge you to read the early chapters with this in mind. Once the action starts in this book you will feel compelled to keep reading. At many points I actually wished for a break from the action so that I could eat or go to bed. Iâm not exaggerating...this book is really that good! At around halfway through the book it appeared that success had been achieved, and problems solved, and I could take a break from reading, but I still had the second half of the book left! What now? As you read, you too will recognize this point. Take a deep breath, turn the page and keep reading because this story is about to become really intense! I found myself totally immersed in the lives of the characters throughout the book. At many points my anxiety level was off the charts! The scenes and storyline were so well written that I often felt as though the events were factual reporting.

Change Agent Audiobook by Daniel Suarez

Title: Change Agent Subtitle: A Novel Author: Daniel Suarez Narrator: Jeff Gurner Format: Unabridged Length: 15 hrs and 2 mins Language: English Release date: 04-18-17 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2720 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: New York Times best-selling author Daniel Suarez delivers an exhilarating sci-fi thriller exploring a potential future where CRISPR genetic editing allows the human species to control evolution itself. On a crowded train platform, Interpol agent Kenneth Durand feels the sting of a needle - and his transformation begins.... In 2045 Kenneth Durand leads Interpol's most effective team against genetic crime, hunting down black market labs that perform "vanity edits" on human embryos for a price. These illegal procedures augment embryos in ways that are rapidly accelerating human evolution - preying on human-trafficking victims to experiment and advance their technology. With the worlds of genetic crime and human trafficking converging, Durand and his fellow Interpol agents discover that one figure looms behind it all: Marcus Demang Wyckes, leader of a powerful and sophisticated cartel known as the Huli jing. But the Huli jing have identified Durand, too. After being forcibly dosed with a radical new change agent, Durand wakes from a coma weeks later to find he's been genetically transformed into someone else - his most wanted suspect: Wyckes. Now a fugitive, pursued through the genetic underworld by his former colleagues and the police, Durand is determined to restore his original DNA by locating the source of the mysterious - and highly valuable - change agent. But Durand hasn't anticipated just how difficult locating his enemy will be. With the technology to genetically edit the living, Wyckes and his Huli jing could be anyone and everyone - and they have plans to undermine identity itself. Members Reviews: A terrifying look into our future I really enjoyed Daemon by Daniel Suarez so when I saw that Change Agent was coming out, I had to get it. I pre-ordered it from Audible (something I rarely do) and the day that it arrived I was lucky that I was just about to finish the last book I started. Change Agent is a story about Kenneth Durand an Interpol agent who is mysteriously changed into someone that he is not. Not just a small change either, but a full change. So much so that he quickly realizes that he is a wanted man and that this will forever change the way that the police will be able to solve crimes. There are two authors that I read that remind me of Michael Crichton. Douglas E Richards and Daniel Suarez. Suarez is able to weave what is going on today with what he thinks will come in the future and it's terrifying. I work in a technology firm and he's not wrong with what he's thinking. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of what was written in Change Agent comes true at one time or another. Durand as a character allowed the reader to follow along with someone as their own opinions of people and things they fought for so long was changing. Kenneth grew many times throughout Change Agent and really became one of the more dynamic characters I've read in a long time. The overall story was one of the best I've read this year. It kept me wondering throughout and I honestly couldn't put this book down. I kept saying "one more chapter" late into the night. Each chapter brought me closer to the end, but I promise that this book will have a hold on my mind for a while. A fast-paced technothriller on par with every Crichton novel I've ever read, maybe even a little more terrifying.

The Punch Escrow Audiobook by Tal M. Klein

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/91/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Punch Escrow Author: Tal M. Klein Narrator: Matthew Mercer Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 42 mins Language: English Release date: 07-25-17 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 600 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: It's the year 2147. Advancements in nanotechnology have enabled us to control aging. We've genetically engineered mosquitoes to feast on carbon fumes instead of blood, ending air pollution. And teleportation has become the ideal mode of transportation, offered exclusively by International Transport - a secretive firm headquartered in New York City. Their slogan: Departure...Arrival...Delight! Joel Byram, our smartass protagonist, is an everyday 22nd century guy. He spends his days training artificial-intelligence engines to act more human, jamming out to 1980s new wave - an extremely obscure genre - and trying to salvage his deteriorating marriage. Joel is pretty much an everyday guy with everyday problems - until he's accidentally duplicated while teleporting. Now Joel must outsmart the shadowy organization that controls teleportation, outrun the religious sect out to destroy it, and find a way to get back to the woman he loves in a world that now has two of him. Critic Reviews: "Narrator Matthew Mercer is perfectly cast as smart-ass Joel Byram. One can almost see Joel's facial expressions as he navigates a world in which he's been duplicated in a teleportation accident. This futuristic story is made Monty Python-like by Mercer's outstanding voicings. His version of the synthesized voice of the 171-year-old founder of a religious cult is beautifully mechanical. His rendering of the two Levantine spies' accents is marvelous. And his depiction of the transformation of a hardworking science guy into full-fledged mad scientist is spot-on. Many characters, many voices - one terrific performance." (AudioFile) Members Reviews: Sci-fi that makes you think It is the year 2147, and the safest way of transportation is teletransporting. There are some religious fanatics trying to boycott this since they believe teletransportation is killing people. Joel Byron works training AI's to make them more 'human'. His marriage is in danger, so Joel and his wife plan a trip to Costa Rica. During the teletransportation there is a terrorist attack and something fails when it is Joel's turn, resulting in him remaining in the the departing room... but there is also a copy of himself that appeared in Costa Rica. After the incident, the transport company is trying to kill Joel, but why? And is this related to his wife's job, since she is working for the transport company? I thoroughly enjoyed this book! This is one of those sci-fi books that makes you think and will stay with you for a while after it is finished. What is it that makes us human? Is cloning or duplicating a way of creating human beings or just an aberration? These and other related questions popped in my head while listening to this book, after seeing the implications involved in the teletransporting proposed by Klein. The book is written in first person, from the point of view of Joel, the one who stayed at NY, and the one who first realizes that he is being chased by the transport company. It is written as a memoir, in which he relates what happens to him and where he puzzles together the events affecting the other characters. Apart from Joel, the characters are not fully developed, but as he is talking to us, it is easy to connect to him and understand his actions and motivations.

Chasing Shadows Audiobook by Tom DeLonge, A. J. Hartley

Title: Chasing Shadows Subtitle: Sekret Machines Series, Book 1 Author: Tom DeLonge, A. J. Hartley Narrator: Paul Costanzo Format: Unabridged Length: 17 hrs and 44 mins Language: English Release date: 11-29-16 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 457 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: The witnesses are legion, scattered across the world and dotted through history, people who looked up and saw something impossible lighting up the night sky. What those objects were, where they came from, and who - or what - might be inside them is the subject of fierce debate and equally fierce mockery, so that most who glimpsed them came to wish they hadn't. Most, but not everyone. Among those who know what they've seen and are forever changed by it are a pilot, an heiress, a journalist, and a prisoner of war. From the waning days of the 20th century's final great war to the fraught fields of Afghanistan to the otherworldly secrets hidden amid Nevada's dusty neverlands - the truth that is out there will propel each of them into a labyrinth of otherworldly technology and the competing aims of those who might seek to prevent - or harness - these beings of unfathomable power. Because, as it turns out, we are not the only ones who can invent and build and destroy. Featuring actual events and other truths drawn from sources within the military and intelligence community, Tom DeLonge and A. J. Hartley offer a tale at once terrifying, fantastical, and perhaps all too real. Critic Reviews: "Twisted. Explosive. The best thriller of the year!" (Faith Hunter, New York Times best-selling author) Members Reviews: Brings it ALL together. Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes, highly. Whether they are into the mass of conspiracy theories this book offers or not, it is an interesting listen on it's own merit. What other book might you compare Chasing Shadows to and why? Gosh, any book that references Area 51, Roswell, alien technology, and government coverups. This one has it all! What about Paul Costanzos performance did you like? Consistency, creativity and clarity. Had it all. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? The Truth is Here! Any additional comments? This is a very sharp debut of what looks to be a powerful series. Clearly derivative in some aspects as it deals with material that has been widely covered. That said, this is a unique and fascinating take on this, and I enjoyed it a great deal. Looking forward to the rest of the series. Recommended! Easily the best UFO related fiction I have read Any additional comments? This is easily the best UFO (UAP) related sci fi I have read, and to think it comes from a punk-rock rockstar. Cleverly mixes UFO lore with an engaging story that often hints at being based on real life events or situations. The only negative is the narrator does not do voices or put accents of the various nationalities of the characters.

Dogs of War Audiobook by Jonathan Maberry

Title: Dogs of War Subtitle: A Joe Ledger Novel Author: Jonathan Maberry Narrator: Ray Porter Format: Unabridged Length: 18 hrs and 35 mins Language: English Release date: 04-25-17 Publisher: Macmillan Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2524 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: Robots are no longer science fiction. Autonomous, programmed to react like animals: fast, relentless, deadly. From microscopic nanobots to massive self-guided aircraft. This technology is here, it's assessable, and it's dangerous. What's even scarier is that almost anyone can get their hands on it. A freelance terrorist uses the latest generation of robot dogs to deliver WMDs into cities across America. Sophisticated military weapons systems turn on their human masters. A technological apocalypse is coming, and we may be too late to stop it. Joe Ledger and a newly rebuilt Department of Military Sciences square off against this new and terrible threat. Dogs of War pits Joe against a merciless new enemy and an army of techno-terrorists in a race to prevent a global destruction. Let loose the Dogs of War. Members Reviews: I ask again What IN THE ACTUAL HELL is Nicodemus?!?! Jonathan Maberry needs an entire related series dedicated to this talking point Mayberry plus Porter is always magic While the plot is not aliens, zombies, or crazed geneticists Dogs of War is read beautifully by Ray Porter and written in an engaging rhythm by Mayberry. Always impressed by these two, and halfway through the book I'm very impressed. Authors: never hire anyone but Ray Porter! Not the Best in a FANTASTIC Series If you could sum up Dogs of War in three words, what would they be? Not That Great What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!) I don't think the ending was very surprising... Unless I missed something What does Ray Porter bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Hes fantastic enough said. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes. The Joe Ledger series is one of my favorites. Don't get me wrong this is a good book. That being said it has to be one of my least favorite of the series. It seemed somewhat phoned in. There where way too many long unnecessary deviations, and the bad guy/s weren't that interesting in the end. I couldn't stop listening until about 3/4 of the way through and then I started to get worried. I don't want to spoil anything, but if all these bad guys knew each other than why the heck didn't they just work together instead of each doing their own thing? That is kind of why I feel this book was phoned in. That being said it had a lot of potential and the build up is pretty good, but it doesn't pay off. Now I put this series upp there with Mitch Rapp, Scott Harvath, and Pike Logan especially. A not so great Joe Ledger book is still a good book. This one just felt very disjointed and had so many missed opportunities. Again its still a Joe Ledger book, and if your a fan I wouldn't hesitate. Any additional comments? The next book will be really good. I have no doubt, the author had to get this one out of his system and tie up some of these loose ends. Who let the dogs out? I skipped meals, drove the long way home and did what ever I could to hear this book and to finish it. I was so caught up in the story, in the action. It is like a drug, and I want more! More SMS, more How, more Bug, and who or what is Mr. Church....I am ready for more! the only books that illicit an emotional response I love audible books but this series by far my favorite in the many books I've bought.

Waking Gods Audiobook by Sylvain Neuvel

Title: Waking Gods Subtitle: The Themis Files, Book 2 Author: Sylvain Neuvel Narrator: full cast Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 2 mins Language: English Release date: 04-04-17 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1231 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: In the gripping sequel to Sleeping Giants, which was hailed by Pierce Brown as "a luminous conspiracy yarn...reminiscent of The Martian and World War Z", Sylvain Neuvel's innovative series about human-alien contact takes another giant step forward. As a child Rose Franklin made an astonishing discovery: a giant metallic hand buried deep within the earth. As an adult she's dedicated her brilliant scientific career to solving the mystery that began that fateful day: Why was a titanic robot of unknown origin buried in pieces around the world? Years of investigation have produced intriguing answers - and even more perplexing questions. But the truth is closer now than ever before when a second robot, more massive than the first, materializes and lashes out with deadly force. Now humankind faces a nightmare invasion scenario made real, as more colossal machines touch down across the globe. But Rose and her team at the Earth Defense Corps refuse to surrender. They can turn the tide if they can unlock the last secrets of an advanced alien technology. The greatest weapon humanity wields is knowledge in a do-or-die battle to inherit the Earth, and maybe even the stars. Editorial Reviews: Editors Select, April 2017 - Sylvain Neuvel's mind-blowing debut ended on a crazy cliff-hanger that hinted at some kind of warp in the space-time continuum (because I totally know what that means, btw). So I've been dying to jump into book two to start unraveling this, but instead we open on a completely separate mystery: A second giant 20-story-tall robot (for lack of a better term) has materialized seemingly from thin air in the center of London. We're a full 10 years from where we last left off, and no one can yet explain that huge issue from the end of the first book. So basically I feel like a frustrated and fictionally crazed dog chasing its tail, but I don't mind, because I'm back among friends - since the whole gang of the original brilliant multicast is back - and once again Sylvain Neuvel is baffling me in the best way possible. Emily, Audible Editor Members Reviews: THE KNOWN IS FINE, THE UNKNOWN INFINITE Talking, talking, talking I liked book one and was slammed by a couple of voters out of the gate. This book I don't understand what people liked about it. I found it very boring and their was way too much discussion. Full cast is great All Too Short Any additional comments? I still cannot figure out why so many people hated the first book, I mean, i really liked it and I'm unnecessarily picky. Now this book is even better, even though it's a bit of a different flavor. To recap, the first book was about the mystery of the "sleeping giant" and moved at a sedate pace filled with tension and the unknown. Waking Gods however has a sense of urgency as the repercussions of the mystery of the first book comes to a head. Here, the mystery that drives the plot is something more insidious, but nothing obvious. The unknown is really the most dangerous enemy of all. It so often feels like I've seen it all, so I don't tend to give very many five star reviews these days. This book did a pretty great job surprising me and making me just completely lose track of time.

Influx Audiobook by Daniel Suarez

Title: Influx Author: Daniel Suarez Narrator: Jeff Gurner Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 45 mins Language: English Release date: 02-20-14 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 6514 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: What if our civilization is more advanced than we know? The New York Times best-selling author of Daemon - "the cyberthriller against which all others will be measured" (Publishers Weekly) - imagines a world in which decades of technological advances have been suppressed in an effort to prevent disruptive change. Are smartphones really humanity's most significant innovation since the moon landings? Or can something else explain why the bold visions of the 20th century - fusion power, genetic enhancements, artificial intelligence, cures for common diseases, extended human life, and a host of other world-changing advances - have remained beyond our grasp? Why has the high-tech future that seemed imminent in the 1960s failed to arrive? Perhaps it did arrivebut only for a select few. Particle physicist Jon Grady is ecstatic when his team achieves what they've been working toward for years: A device that can reflect gravity. Their research will revolutionize the field of physics - the crowning achievement of a career. Grady expects widespread acclaim for his entire team. The Nobel Prize. Instead, his lab is locked down by a shadowy organization whose mission is to prevent at all costs the social upheaval sudden technological advances bring. This Bureau of Technology Control uses the advanced technologies they have harvested over the decades to fulfill their mission. They are living in our future. Presented with the opportunity to join the BTC and improve his own technology in secret, Grady balks, and is instead thrown into a nightmarish high-tech prison built to hold rebellious geniuses like himself. With so many great intellects confined together, can Grady and his fellow prisoners conceive of a way to usher humanity out of its artificial dark age? And when they do, is it possible to defeat an enemy that wields a technological advantage half a century in the making? Members Reviews: Solid to Silly to Inane At the opening the premise was solid; there is a secret government organization responsible for monitoring and controlling global technological innovations. It is very powerful and deeply off the books. Then, just when you have bitten a big bite of the apple, enter the dark forces that mimic the evil characters in a Marvel comic sans the mutant superpowers (our antagonists use technology to that end). Eventually the entire sic-fi thriller degrades into silly dialogue and revenge-driven mania. This audiobook should only be downloaded in those desperate moments (from your Wish List) when you are late for work and your iPod is empty. If you have the time, search around for a more viable futuristic battle of good vs. holier-than-thou-technocrat. INSCRUTABLE DEVICES, MACHINE PARTS, INSIGNA WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WE DON'T KNOW, UNTIL WE KNOW Once I got through the first two chapters, which was full of pseudo sounding science talk, I loved most of the book. It was very entertaining, shifts gears a lot, and a reminder of many classics. I WILL HELP YOU, BUT I WILL ALSO HAVE TO TRY AND KILL YOU. The story has lots of elements of classic Science Fiction. While listening there were times when I was reminded of the following: This Island Earth, From Here To Eternity, Prisoner, Project 731, Buck Rogers, Colossus, Mary Poppins, and even Anime. The book does change gears a lot, and the book in the end does not sound like the same book it was in the beginning.

Title: CyberStorm Author: Matthew Mather Narrator: Tom Taylorson Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 18 mins Language: English Release date: 01-09-14 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2985 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: Sometimes the worst storms aren't from Mother Nature, and sometimes the worst nightmares aren't the ones in our heads. Mike Mitchell, an average New Yorker already struggling to keep his family together, suddenly finds himself fighting just to keep them alive when an increasingly bizarre string of disasters starts appearing on the world's news networks. As both the real world and the cyber world come crashing down, bending perception and reality, a monster snowstorm cuts New York off from the world, turning it into a wintry tomb where nothing is what it seems. Anyone who enjoys insightful, cutting-edge fiction mixed with action and adventure won't want to miss CyberStorm. Members Reviews: Yes - satisfied a craving I have a weakness for disaster, plague, famine, EMP, earthquake... coping and surviving the challenges books. "One Second After," "Alas Babylon," "Jakarta Pandemic," "The Road," and "77 Days" are all books I have really enjoyed. I have purchased a bunch of other books looking for similar and often end up with over-the-top preppers, zombies, profanity and violence. Although definitely not perfectly written... a slow start, some unbelievable events and a tell instead of show ending... "Cyberstorm" will still be part of my much enjoyed list. It is set, mostly, in a New York apartment building as a cyber attack takes down communication, feeds misinformation, crashes computers... heat, water, power, shipping, radio, TV are all gone... of course, in the midst of a series of winter storms. You get to know the neighbors from the old couple with tea and biscuits, to the criminal, the prepper, the friends, the kids and the doorman as they deal with the ensuing and long lasting chaos. Of course, technology and "hackers" are both the villains and stars. Language is clean, minor sexual innuendos, some intense violence and un-witnessed cannibalism. Probably PG-13 read but R if made into movie. Have fun. I love that it is complete... no next book to buy to learn the ending. Days of Our Cyberstorms Im shocked there are so many 4- and 5-star reviews of this book. Rather than it being a story bending perception and reality where nothing is what it seems, its more like a soap opera or a Lifetime Original Movie with all the high drama between the narrator and his wife. Hes a beta-male whos married to a bitch. He says things like: I met her gaze but then dropped my eyes, giving her that space, or She glared at me, and I shrank back. Their rather icky relationship issues extend through the first 26 audio chapters (there are only 65 total), until they quickly and blandly resolve everything. And since theyre not very likable anyway, it really didnt matter. When the internet goes down and the blizzard begins, followed by outages of the citys power and water services, nothing that happens afterwards is unexpected. However there isnt a lot of action in the way this story is told. We get a tremendous amount of internal rumination from the narrator, including detailed descriptions of several dreams he has (dreams are the worst!).

But their best efforts have still failed to derail the completion of the wormhole gateway that would give the insidious extraterrestrial invaders access to the planet - and doom humankind as helpless slaves of the Kasari hive mind. The Smythes and their intrepid allies - including the mentally altered humans, The Enhanced - stand ready to beat back the Kasari onslaught once and for all. Not by mortal combat, but with scientific cunning. Still, the success of their plan depends on a daring stealth mission into the heart of the aliens' nerve center on Earth. And multiple threats lie in wait - including the ruthless Kasari commander, a brutal double agent with a deadly vendetta to settle, and the alien entity Khal Teth, who wears a human face but is ready to strike with monstrous force. In this stunning conclusion to the Rho Agenda Assimilation by the bestselling author of The Second Ship, the small but fierce band of altered humans and Earth's resistance fighters face their greatest opportunity to stop the Kasari. But with the remnants of humanity and a battered Earth caught in the cross fire, can they secure a victory without sacrificing everything they're trying to protect? Members Reviews: Great Book to end a Great Series Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes, great series to read What did you like best about this story? As an engineer I like to read a lot of sci-fi to exercise my imagination. This book does not disappoint. Lots of far out there ideas and technology that I really enjoyed. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? YES absolutely Fantastic! I have read and re-read each of the preceding books because I love the story. It's the same old telling of normal people who are given extraordinary power, but with an honesty and truth that sets it apart. It is wonderful to see these folks become the best, and sometimes worst, they can be and how their indomitable will prevails in the end. the story telling masterfully weaves together a story with so many moving parts that it seems they must crash, but inevitably work together synergistically. loved it, thank you! What a great series. Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Wonderful adventure, great story, great characters. Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? You could make a little guess at how the story would go but the ending was a surprise! What about MacLeod Andrewss performance did you like? Instead of only voicing the characters for what they said each section that was about that characters was done in their voice, it really helped keep track as the story does jump around alot. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yep. Keep me up too late a few times. To be honest I did not want it to end so I stopped listening to it for too long. Any additional comments? The only books that really did not hold me where the Ripper back story books, I guess it was the scifi missing not sure, you can skip those and no real loss, we all know Jack is a bad A$$. A dismal end to a great series hated it. utterly disappointing in every way.

Jake Shepherd is piloting a flight to Seattle when out of the blue, his aircraft falls from the sky. The power-grid across the United States crashes, leaving all computerized machines crippled, sending the country into a disastrous tailspin. Alice Shepherd is working the emergency room when hundreds of injured people pour in needing help. With no electricity, resources are limited - once the back up generators fail, the hospital will not be able to handle the influx of patients being brought in, guaranteeing that all hell will break loose. Everyone is speculating and panicking. No one knows what really happened. The only thing everyone can agree on is their simple, convenient, technological world is gone. Everyone is left to fight - kill or be killed. Survive or die. Members Reviews: Being naive wont save you! I have never wanted a main character to take a bullet as bad as I did for Alice and Sofie! The stupidity written in too these people are whats wrong with society! It was a hard book to get in too, I really liked where it was going but the lack of realization with the characters made me wish it was over! I hate to be this critical, it would have been appropriate for this book to come out 5+ years ago before the post apocalyptic trend took off but this was a novice and poorly executed book, the lack of research in the subject matter was evident. If the author would have read the emp commission report it would have stopped a lot of the errors in the book. It was worth it for something to listen too but cant say that I would recommend it. I was given this copy for an unbiased review by the author. It did not influence my opinion at all. Could have been much better I love books like this and this one starts off with a great idea. Its follows 3 characters: Jake, the father/husband to the other characters and is the pilot of a plane that crashes. Alice, the mother/wife and an ER nurse in Texas. And Sophie who is in Boston and daughter to Alice and Jake. The character development could have really used some work. The story is great. The action scenes are good. But you don't get attached to anyone in the book. You don't learn much about them just that they are surviving this EMP attack, you get snippets here and there. I don't know if the other books elaborate on this but sadly I won't give them a try to see. This story has so much potential. The story follows each character as they try to make it home and survive each of their unique situations. Again so much potential but if fell just a little short of being a great story. If the characters were developed more and more personality put into them it would have been fantastic. Scott Ellis did a wonderful job reading this and I will listen to future works by him. I requested and was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review with my honest opinion. Incomplete story The best thing that can be said about this story is that it's trite and cliche. The most glaring deficiency is the lack of character development. Some of the crash survivors aren't even described at all, nor are they involved in any dialog. It also seems implausible that their injuries aren't more significant. Worst of all, this story is unfinished.

Title: Nexus Subtitle: Nexus, Book 1 Author: Ramez Naam Narrator: Luke Daniels Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 12 mins Language: English Release date: 07-25-13 Publisher: Angry Robot on Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1949 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: "Nexus is the most brilliant hard SF thriller Ive read in years. Its smart, its gripping, and it describes a chilling reality that is all-too-plausible. Ramez Naam is a name to watch for." (Brenda Cooper, author of The Silver Ship and the Sea and The Creative Fire Mankind Gets an Upgrade) In the near future, the nano-drug Nexus can link mind to mind. There are some who want to improve it. There are some who want to eradicate it. And there are others who just want to exploit it. When a young scientist is caught improving Nexus, hes thrust over his head into a world of danger and international espionage, with far more at stake than anyone realizes. Members Reviews: This guy might be great one day The good: * Excellent opening, chapters, starting at a californian rave and spreading across the planet. * Fresh idea of post-human intelligence; The Silicon valley trans-humanists übermenschen are dismissed in a single line in favour of more subtle, collective models of mind enhancing technology * some fun parallels between various religions and various approaches to posthuman intelligence (theravada buddhism and christianity mostly) * very contemporary flavour of technological speculation; more or less, some ravers port linux to run on brains, and consequences ensue when wider society gains interest in the diabolical applications of the technology. Absolute candy for today's crypto-nerds. The bad: * characters feel a little flat. The cast might be laudably multinational, but most characters substitute an ethnicity for a personality: Japanese sensei skimming stones while talking in metaphors... Loyal magical negro who would sacrifice everything to help the white protagonist... revolutionary Russian immigrant who write political tracts about how american security obsession is eroding liberty. etc. The privileged white male protagonist is a little too bland to be relatable; the female secret agent is a little better, but the childhood trauma reliving scene (won't say any more to avoid spoilers) was a little forced and clean-cut to keep me convinced * very filmic violence; Every time someone falls over, their gun lands just out of reach and there is always time to step on their hand before they reach it, and so on. Plot would be improved if every character in this book invested in some velcro straps. * plot is rip-roaring but not satisfying; while the philosophical themes the author starts with are hella fun and could really go somewhere wild, most of the action thereafter is driven by the more traditional plot mechanics of a covert military team doing covert military things with lots of filmic violence Overall I enjoyed this book, but found the earnestness and unidimensionality of the characters a bit of a drag, and the plot was gripping enough, but without doing the subject matter justice. This feels like a first novel. I'm excited by a lot of the world the author has built, and the author is presumably still honing his craft; interested to see where he is going with his career. p.s. the reader was enthusiastic but *ooh*, some of those accents were a little awkward. SERENITY PACKAGE Nuts and Bolts I like tech books for the wonder of science and what it can accomplish. I don't care to hear about how everything works. This book concentrated on the nuts and bolts too much for my tastes. As mentioned by other reviewers, the characters in this book are flat.

Mind's Eye Audiobook by Douglas E. Richards

Richards Narrator: Adam Verner Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 37 mins Language: English Release date: 05-05-14 Publisher: Douglas E. Richards Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 509 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: When Nick Hall wakes up in a dumpster - bloodied, without a memory, and hearing voices in his head - he knows things are bad. But they're about to get far worse. Because he's being hunted by a team of relentless assassins. Soon Hall discovers that advanced electronics have been implanted in his brain, and he now has two astonishing abilities. He can surf the web using thoughts alone. And he can read minds. But who inserted the implants? And why? And why is someone so desperate to kill him? As Hall races to find answers, he comes to learn that far more is at stake than just his life. Because his actions can either catapult civilization to new heights - or bring about its total collapse. Extrapolated from actual research on thought-controlled web surfing, Mind's Eye is a smart, roller-coaster ride of a thriller. One that raises a number of intriguing, and sometimes chilling, possibilities about a future that is just around the corner. Members Reviews: Great Premise - Started Great, Fizzled Out This book started great. Like really great. It was all action, interesting concepts about what it would be like to surf the Internet with your mind, and have ESP to boot. To be on the run, and confused about what was going on. As the hero figures things out, so do we. Then suddenly, it's a really cliche romance novel. I put up with that to see what happened, the romance angle wasn't TOO bad, pretty cringey and totally slowed the pace right down, but not awful. Then the book wrapped up with about 15 different twists all of which where obvious as soon as the preceding one or two where revealed. And there was like two whole chapters where the heroes and villain explaining in great monologues exactly every little supposed detail of how they double and trip guess each other. Oh the villain is supposed to be a chess genius - it didn't come across as plausible at ALL. Then it was wrapped up into the neatest most perfect gushy bow ever. The genre shifts are just so jarring, and the ending was just so rosy it was painful. Narration was good, premise was excellent, started well. A great shame. Defenitely worth the credit! Really fast pace and engaging story with great characters. I accidently read the sequel first without realizing it was a sequel and enjoyed it. Reading this first novel added some missing context but both work as stand alone stories too. Technology of the future? A man wakes in a dumpster with no memory of who he is or how he got there. If that's not bad enough, he soon discovers people are trying to kill him. So begins "Mind's Eye," a techno-thriller from Douglas Richards. Our hero soon learns he has other capabilities, like being able to read people's minds and being able to surf the web with his thoughts. Through his mind reading, he learns his name is Nick Hall. By being able to access his assassin's thoughts, Nick is able to counter their efforts and escape their clutches. He also learns he has been a guinea pig for cerebral implants which give him the web surfing capabilities. But reading minds seems to be a double edged sword. He has no way to turn the ability off and as long as he is near other people, he receives a constant chatter in his brain.

Members Reviews: best ever well written and the narration was superb. I recommend this book you will not be disappointed. Amazing! If I could write books it would be exactly how JL writes. Amazing book as always! Love the technical details, the writing style, the scavaging for supplies, the weapons, the story, everything! I need book #3 STAT! Maybe throw in a movie deal or at least Netflix or Prime original? Loved it J.L. Bourne knocks another one out of the park. I wasn't sure what direction he would take after the first book, but once I got in to the story I was hooked all over again. I find that I power through Mr. Bourne's books faster than other authors because of how immersed I am in the story. I highly recommend this and the first book. Excellent The format and structure alone make this one worth your time throw in the fact that it is an incredible story and you have the best 9 hours of your day. wow A stunning story! Fantastically written and performed. The depth of knowledge of the subject matter truly shines through chapter after chapter.

Falconer Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 119 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: Audiobooks 1 and 2 in the American Prepper Series Society will collapse in days... and that's the good news. Former Special Ops and survivalist Simon Redfall has lost everything: his wife, his fortune, and his future. Despite being hunted by angry mobs and his own bankrupt government, Simon attends the first ever, pay-per-view execution in Washington, DC. When red storm clouds appear and begin to spread their potentially toxic rain across the planet, the mysterious weather phenomenon grounds all travelers and threatens to take down the grid, sending civilization back to the Stone Age. As society tumbles into chaos, Simon joins a group of like-minded preppers to unlock the secrets behind a terrifying global conspiracy. What he and his band of freedom fighters soon learn will put their lives at risk, and the lives of everyone else on the planet. For humanity, time is running out. When the red rain stops falling, it will be too late to stop what's coming next. Rated R for violence, language, sexual situations, and bloodshed. Members Reviews: Enjoyed! Good read! I throughly enjoyed these books! Def worth the read! Narrator ok liked him not keen on his woman's voices but interesting and different storyline! Can't wait for #3! Keep up the good work!! Little Prepper instruction I was hoping for some Prepper instruction. None here this is a book of fiction. wierd, but good. a little far fetched for a prepper book, but enjoyed it none the less. kept me entertained. Not what I was expecting I'm not sure what I was expecting, but it wasn't quite this. The narration was very good and the characters did what I really like and that's to stay true to their character, whether you like them or not. I guess I just wasn't expecting the story to be quite so unrealistic. One man controls the internet , one man controls everything made for the department of defense, the government controls TV and phones, etc. I like my post apocalyptic stories to be rooted in a little bit more realistic terms. It was entertaining though and well paced. I'll probably get the next in the series because of those reasons as well. Great job by Gary Tiedermann This story is interesting and spell binding at times. Some of plots are a bit far-fetched, but they make for a more enjoyable listen.

Pattern Recognition Audiobook by William Gibson

Title: Pattern Recognition Author: William Gibson Narrator: Shelly Frasier Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 23 mins Language: English Release date: 10-31-17 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 14 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: The accolades and acclaim are endless for William Gibson's coast-to-coast best seller. Set in the post-9/11 present, Pattern Recognition is the story of one woman's never-ending search for the now.... Cayce Pollard is a new kind of prophet - a world-renowned "coolhunter" who predicts the hottest trends. While in London to evaluate the redesign of a famous corporate logo, she's offered a different assignment: find the creator of the obscure, enigmatic video clips being uploaded to the Internet - footage that is generating massive underground buzz worldwide. Still haunted by the memory of her missing father - a Cold War security guru who disappeared in downtown Manhattan on the morning of September 11, 2001 - Cayce is soon traveling through parallel universes of marketing, globalization, and terror, heading always for the still point where the three converge. From London to Tokyo to Moscow, she follows the implications of a secret as disturbing - and compelling - as the 21st century promises to be.... Critic Reviews: "Pattern Recognition is William Gibson's best book since he rewrote all the rules in Neuromancer." (Neil Gaiman, author of American Gods) "One of the first authentic and vital novels of the 21st century." (The Washington Post Book World) Members Reviews: Unexpected storyline. Very Engaging Coming off of two previous dystopian future/bio tech laden Gibson novels, I guess I expected this to follow suit. Not the case. I purchased it off title alone and didn't read a synopsis before diving right in. Totally loved it. Multi faceted mystery novel. Gibson's writing style for this is a bit jarring at first, but once I adjusted it flowed quite nicely. The main character's inner monologue I found to be very similar to my own so her character became very real to me. Also being from New York and living in Manhattan during 9/11 it was easy to put myself in the settings being described surrounding the event. Also love his attention to the details. Helps paint a very clear picture. Would recommend to fans of his and those interested in mysteries and globetrotting. Amazing followup to the Bridge Trilogy I don't think this book is for everyone, least of all those who prefer Gibson's cyberpunk works. But if the Sprawl trilogy was an origin, you can see the way the Bridge trilogy led to this book. A shift to more subtle science fiction, a focus on the essential weirdness of the present. It's a wonderful book. Just not for me Just not for me. Believe me, I hate to say anything negative about the great writing of William Gibson. However, I just could not get into this book through the first three-quarters. I thought it ended well, but had a hard time getting there. CPUs and Fashion Allergies a little too much for me Very pretentious and esoteric. The plot is inconsequential to the self-absorption of the main character, to the point where you either don't care about the characters or feel manipulated. I think if you enjoy William Gibson, you'll enjoy this, but it was just *too* Gibson-y for me. (I was laughing at the main character when I should have been concerned for her.) It *is* an interesting time capsule from the year following 9/11. My Favorites I'm a fan of Mr. Gibson's works in all their varied forms and flavors. The Blue Ant stories are my favorites. I especially enjoy the concept of CPU's.

It was not common to awaken in a cloning vat streaked with drying blood. At least Maria Arena had never experienced it. She had no memory of how she died. That was also new; before, when she had awakened as a new clone, her first memory was of how she died. Maria's vat was in the front of six vats, each one holding the clone of a crew member of the starship Dormire, each clone waiting for its previous incarnation to die so it could awaken. And Maria wasn't the only one to die recently.... Members Reviews: clever concept and plot structure The author did a good job simultaneously unwrapping both the mystery of "who done it" and the mystery of the science-fiction of her world. I was also impressed to notice after finishing the book that the author did the narration. That almost never works. I'm glad I didn't notice that earlier or else I would never have bought the book but the author did a great job! A locked room murder mystery in space Maria Arena is one of the six crew members of the generation starship Dormire. Like the other five crew members, she's a clone. Clones at this time have some specific rights, and some specific limitations on their rights, compared to non-clones, who are simply called "humans." While waking up in a cloning vat isn't unusual, it is unusual to to wake up covered in blood, and to have no memory of how you died. It's even more unusual to discover you and four other members of the crew have been murdered, and the sixth crew member, the captain, is lying in the medical bay injured and in a coma. But her new clone has been awakened, too, making one of them an illegal copy. They've been en route nearly twenty-five years, and the mind maps they presumably made in that interval have all been wiped. One of them is a murderer, and they have no idea which one or why, and they have no memories of the quarter century of time they've spent in space together and the events that may have led up to the crime. After that, every additional piece of information they get makes things worse. They have a cargo full of passengers in cryogenic storage, nearly two centuries to go in their journey to the world they're to colonize, and oh yes, it turns out they all have motives for murder, and criminal records that successful completion of this trip would have wiped out. They aren't, as they were told, a crew carefully selected to be successful together. And the ship's AI is turning them around, to head back to Earth, where they could all be executed. Generation starship, clones, strong AI, and a murder mystery where everyone is a suspect. Can they solve it before the return to Earth is irreversible? Or before whoever the killer is does it again? It's a very character-driven story with the sf elements, cloning, AI, and centuries-long star travel, all essential to the plot. All the characters are flawed; they've all done bad things in their past. And they all have real strengths. Highly recommended. I bought this audiobook. Mind mapping and clones Mind mapping, clones, criminals, artificial intelligence, political manipulation and a murder mystery all tied into one.

Bray Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 26 mins Language: English Release date: 11-21-17 Publisher: Richard Bard Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 20 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: The Wall Street Journal number one best-selling author Richard Bard, who entertained fans with his wildly successful Brainrush thriller series, now unleashes the heart-pounding series finale in a two-book ride that will take your breath away. Jake Bronson's family and friends are mourning him. They'd watched as he sacrificed himself so their lives could return to normal. But normal wasn't to be. The megalomaniac whom Jake had killed during his suicide assault left a legacy of videos that damn Jake and everyone associated with him, leading to a price being put on their heads, dead or alive. They go to ground, unaware their every move is being tracked by a new breed of young, tech-savvy jihadists about to unleash vengeance on America's homeland - with Jake's family and the unsuspecting citizens of Los Angeles in their crosshairs. As the jaws of the terrorist trap begin to close, Jake's eight-year-old son, Alex, faces a threat of his own. He carries a burden only his lost father would understand. A journey that begins as he follows in his father's footsteps leads him to a group of terminally ill orphans. One of their siblings has been abducted by child traffickers. Alex can't ignore their cry for help, and the unlikely alliance of youths embarks on a nothing-to-lose rescue mission that has little chance of success - all while unearthly visions demand his attention. But the bloodthirsty outcry against Alex's family and friends reaches beyond those who wish them harm, as do the visions that reveal their dark secrets to Alex. Help is on the way.... An "international thriller with soul." Ideal reading for fans of Michael Crichton, Clive Cussler, James Rollins, Marcus Sakey, Michael Grumley, Brad Thor, Dan Brown, Matthew Reilly, Tom Clancy, Robert Ludlum, and Vince Flynn. Members Reviews: RADISHING;) Worth the wait, and continues the children shall lead them theme started in the prior, and builds upon it... Hurricane pace, freight train plot, and simply superb characters... Read it straight through w/o pause, and starting on the next as soon as I hit submit on this review;). Although goes w/o saying Ill say it anyway Irrefutably excellent narration... Another enjoyable installment This one focuses mostly on the young son Alex, his connection to Jake and leaves it open for the upcoming conclusion where the bad guys are planning to get them all. The adults of the group and their story faded out about halfway and the story honed in on Alex and his new friends' mission to "save". I kept expecting it to segway back to Tony and the elders but it didn't. I could see how the story could have been 'combined' making this the final book, which would make it significantly a longer than the others so a sense of cohesion could have been lost and may be part of why the story evolved as it did. Overall, it played it out well so a solid 4 - my review may be just a little over analytical. :) ...it was an enjoyable experience especially with RC Bray performing. If you like action adventure with some Sci-Fi mixed in you will surely enjoy. I look forward to the last entry and then more, hoping with the same mix of action, adventure and the 'paranormal' from Mr. Bard.

But the world's vast new government continued its quest to make extraterrestrial contact. And now, as a new gateway is activated to welcome the Kasari, whom world leaders take to be benefactors, only the Smythes stand a chance of countering their planet's invasion and subjugation by a race of ruthless conquerors. Years after their failed first mission, the Kasari have returned, bearing irresistible promises while concealing insidious plans to enslave humanity. But not if the Smythes - along with fearless CIA agent turned mercenary Jack Gregory and his partner, Janet Price - can help it. From the world's last stronghold, they take the fight to enemies both earthling and alien - even as their comrades-in-arms join the warrior Koranthians in battling the Kasari on a far-off planet. But the greatest danger lies within Earth itself, where an ancient artifact prepares to summon doom from another world. Members Reviews: What happened to this sequel? I really enjoyed the first book in this series. So much so that I made a mistake I usually don't make: downloaded the next two in the series. Well, this second book is not a sequel. For one thing, it starts DECADES after the first one...so it keeps having to explain the huge discrepancies in quick but annoying asides. For another, there is very little that connects the two books--the characters might have the same names but they are so different from their first-book personas that I have to wonder if the author had this failed book in some drawer and simply changed the names of the main characters and released it as a sequel when her first novel became a success. I couldn't finish it; it was so boring. Incredible Performance! MacLeod Andrews is BACK!! I have enjoyed each book series centering on these characters first introduced in the Rho Agenda. Each book's evoloving plot line and surprising twists keep me heavily invested and interested while at the same time offering answers and satisfying conculsions without big cliffhangers. I am still very eager for the next addition! This was a great addition I highly recommend it to fans. Enjoy! Resurrected Ripper Rises First of all, if you haven't read any part of this series, stop right now, you cannot start here. This is a direct continuation of Assimilation Book 1 and indeed all prior seven entries. It's a great series, go back to the beginning and give it a shot. For series readers: Book 1, The Kasari Nexus, was a bit of letdown. Not bad, but not up to series standards. I listed several reasons why, but it wasn't until halfway through this book that I understood the one overarching reason: not enough Ripper. Coming directly after the Inception trilogy that was all about Jack Gregory, finding him relegated back to minor player was (there is no other word for it) a letdown. Book 2, all the Ripper you can handle, and more. I don't want to give anything away, but about 40% of this book is about Jack Gregory and Khal Teth/Anchanchu, and it is out of this world, literally and figuratively. You did not see this coming.

Forced onto a chair with a noose around his neck, Wallace briefly reconsiders his mostly lonely life before the chair is kicked out beneath him and his world fades to black. Then he gets lucky and manages to escape his apartment, just ahead of his assailant. Bloody, barefoot, and with at least one broken rib, he has no choice but to run for his life. With no idea who would want to kill him, he makes it to the hospital and files a police report, but it soon becomes clear that as far as the authorities are concerned the only threat to Wallace's life is himself, and he is placed under suicide watch. When his would-be killer strikes again, Wallace realizes he will have to figure out who is hunting him and stop him on his own. The pendulum of fate swung briefly in his favor, but it's only a matter of time before its momentum carries it to the other side.... Critic Reviews: "Adam Hamdy's high-octane cat-and-mouse psychological thriller offers relentless suspense, quicksilver pacing and characters with surprising depth." ( Shelf Awareness) "As a suspense-filled thriller and a warning to civilization about its dependency on technology, Pendulum by Adam Hamdy succeeds beautifully." ( New York Journal of Books) Members Reviews: Overkill I agree with all those who said that it's impossible to put the book down. It is, because it is very fast-paced, even though it's very long. I'm not giving it five stars because of several factors: there was a great deal of overkill (literally) throughout the book, and it is impossible to believe the two main characters survived mentally or especially physically. There were also loose threads. At the part of Riker's Island, I actually checked to see I was reading the same book as I had been -- that part seems totally out of place. The relationships between the main character and both Connie and Ash both needed to be fleshed out more, Connie initially and Ash at the end. Finally, almost all of the other characters (except Bailey) seemed little more than placeholders. That said, it was still a very good read. A book that will punch all your buttons I don't think I've ever read a book that provoked so many feelings. It was difficult to read the start of this book, as the characters developed it became a very good book. As the plot was revealed, the novel became nearly great. When a author goes to such great lengths to answer every question, to solve every problem, it is tremendously disapproving to have a very late issue unresolved. Despite the slow start, this book was a 5 star for me until the epilogue, but then that is just a single readers opinion. Detailed and intriguing I want to read this again. I will read it knowing the outcome to see if I could have foreseen it. Very intriguing. Great read!! This book was very good. The characters were believable and likable. The plot was intriguing with many twists and turns. It was difficult to put down and kept me guessing till the very end. I would recommend this book to my friends and I gave it five stars for the bookâs enjoyment. I liked this book. A little hard to get into, but it grabbed me and held on. I will buy the next on the series.

Jones Narrator: P.J. Ochlan Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 34 mins Language: English Release date: 05-09-17 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 22 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: Charles Forbin has dedicated the last 10 years of his life to the construction of his own supercomputer, Colossus, rejecting romantic and social endeavors in order to create the United States' very first Artificially Intelligent defense system. Colossus is a supercomputer capable of taking in and analyzing data rapidly, allowing it to make real-time decisions about the nation's defense. But Colossus soon exceeds even Forbin's calculated expectations, learning to think independently of the Colossus Programming Office, processing data over 100 times faster than Forbin and his team had originally anticipated. The President hands off full control of the nation's missiles and other defense protocols to Colossus and makes the announcement to the world that he has ensured peace. However, the USSR quickly announces that it too has a supercomputer, Guardian, with capabilities similar to that of Colossus. Forbin is concerned when Colossus asks - asks - to communicate with Guardian. The computer he built shouldn't be able to ask at all. Members Reviews: A wonderfully thought out story The (newer) cover on this book really caught my eye. I picked this up on Kindle when it was 99 cents a while back not realizing that it was an older technothriller. When I saw that Tantor Audio was going to bring this to life on audio, I had to listen to it. Throughout my reading of this book, I kept thinking to myself "was this really written in the 60's?" There were so many pieces that made this feel like it could have been written in the 80's or early 90's. It reminded me of Crichton in that way. He was able to write about things that just became normal technology way before they were popular. Sure the "teletype" is the only dead giveaway that it was written before desktop and laptop computers took hold, but honestly, if they changed the word teletype to desktop or mainframe or anything -- you wouldn't be able to place this as far back as it was written. Even the way that the United States (now Canada and the US combined) was run felt like it was ripped from the headlines of today, not 50 years ago. The book itself was really believable which made it even scarier. I found myself thinking, oh yea, this is definitely plausible and honestly should be on the mind of every single engineer who is working on AI in some for or another. I've read other books with an AI who does things that are not expected and this was definitely as enjoyable as those books. I can tell that Jones was way ahead of his time in the things that he was scared of. The narration by P.J. Ochlan really lent itself well to this audiobook, he was able to voice this in a way that really made it feel like I was there while all of this was happening. Combine that with Jones' incredible insight into what computers might become and you have a great technothriller. If you enjoyed this review, please vote for it! Every vote helps. If you'd like to see more books like this please check out BriansBookBlog DOT com. A great computer-takes-over-the-world story! This story is a favorite of mine. I remember seeing the movie in the 1970s with Eric Braeden and Susan Clark. It is a true classic.

Title: Kill Process Author: William Hertling Narrator: Jane Cramer Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 44 mins Language: English Release date: 06-28-16 Publisher: William Hertling Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 597 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: By day, Angie, a 20-year veteran of the tech industry, is a data analyst at Tomo, the world's largest social networking company; by night, she exploits her database access to profile domestic abusers and kill the worst of them. She can't change her own traumatic past, but she can save other women. When Tomo introduces a deceptive new product that preys on users' fears to drive up its own revenue, Angie sees Tomo for what it really is - another evil abuser. Using her coding and hacking expertise, she decides to destroy Tomo by building a new social network that is completely distributed, compartmentalized, and unstoppable. If she succeeds, it will be the end of all centralized power in the Internet. But how can an anti-social, one-armed programmer with too many dark secrets succeed when the world's largest tech company is out to crush her and a no-name government black ops agency sets a psychopath to look into her growing digital footprint? Members Reviews: IT'S NOT ABOUT THE MONEY I GROK IT I really enjoyed this book. I could have loved it for the tech, which it is chock full of. I could have liked the education we got on how men abuse and how they premediate their abuse. I could have really gotten in to the black ops and the government conspiracy. I might have liked learning what it is like to live one handed. You have to carefully plan eating at restaurants for one. It is very hard to cut steak or even eat a sandwich with one hand. I might have enjoyed the shark tank aspect of starting a business and keeping it going. These were all good reason to love or like the book, but for me it was Angie. ANGIE Angie is the main character. At first I did not think I was going to like her, since she had made herself judge, jury and executioner. Using her super abilities as a hacker, she finds abusers from all over the world and finds ways to kill them, such as hacking the computers in their cars. It is scary the harm that can be done through computers in this day and age. One guy had even managed to rape girls through the internet. He would find a way to blackmail them and then force them to pose and do things in front of their computers. Even though Angie was killing scum bags, it still bothered me. That is only the first hour. Later she starts her own business to compete with a facebook type company. She has some weaknesses, such as being an introvert and hating men, after having suffered from an abusive marriage and than their is the one hand thing. She does not use these as excuses. I love how this shows just how hard and how much work it takes to start a business. She must raise money, she must overcome her PTSD and she even has to fight the government. The cards are constantly stacked against her, but every time she gets knocked down she does not cry, she gets back up and fights. I gained a lot of respect for her and she was a character worth my time. NO cookie cut out here. I strongly recommend this engaging, scary, motivating book. Great on Many Levels A story about the monopolistic practices of Facebook and Google type companies mixed with a a tech assassin, a super hacker, and the emotional damage done by men who like to dominate and abuse their partners. It is exciting, makes you realize how much social media seeks to manipulate us, and shows how little privacy we have in the modern world. Very different from his other novels which were mainly about AI. Would make a great TV series.

Astronaut David Dixon's first mission to space goes horribly awry when a gunfight breaks out on a Russian space station. He finds himself making an emergency landing from orbit and becomes the most wanted man on Earth. Desperate to unravel the plot he's found himself in, he takes his pursuers on a wild chase from space to the backstreets of Rio and beyond. Dixon's survival relies on his skills as a pilot and willingness to do whatever it takes, from crashing a passenger jet into the Mexican desert to pulling off an incredible heist in Low Earth Orbit. Members Reviews: A SciFi Thriller that won't let go My mistake was starting this at night. It took a real effort of will to pause when I did because I had to sleep. Once you start this roller coaster, you won't want to get off. Great setup for a series. I hope Andrew writes the sequel! This is the best original scifi I've read in years. The science is very believable and doesn't bog down the story. Dan Dixon is an everyman you route for from the beginning. This is a self contained story that really enjoyed. The ending was thin but everything was wrapped up, and I actually didn't guess the ending before it happened. Thanks for surprising me Andrew! If you want a great hard SF thriller that you can't put down and demands a sequel, I recommend this book. Amazing it took 30 minutes to get used to the dramatic reader and then I was hooked Amazing once again All of Andrew Mayne's books are great and this one did not disappoint! It's the Martian but in space and instead of the world wanting to bring Mark home they want him executed as a terrorist. The action and "I can't wait to hear what happens next" were Non-Stop. <> Totally awesome I've read all but one of Maynes books offered on Audbile and this was easily the best. And that's saying something because I thoroughly enjoyed the others. Enjoyed those. LOVED this one. And let's give credit where it's due-the narrator. He was excellent! Anybody that can deliver a character's sarcastic and acerbic remarks and them their own is the mark of a fine reader. Ok Maynes, we need more books, stat. And keep the great heroes and heroines coming. Non-stop and action-packed This book was full of action from beginning to end and kept me idling in my car unable to turn it off. I felt like I was listening to a weird things fan-fiction (which is a good thing) because of the scenarios the lead character kept getting himself into and the way he uses science to get himself out of. Everything in this book was meticulously thought out to always respect realism instead of taking a narrative or literary short-cut to get us a similar result. <>

Title: Immortal Life Subtitle: A Soon to Be True Story Author: Stanley Bing Narrator: Stanley Bing Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 49 mins Language: English Release date: 12-05-17 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 20 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: An ancient mogul has bought the power to live forever, but the strong young body he plans to inhabit has other ideas. The battle for immortal life begins. Immortal life. A fantasy. An impossible dream. For now, maybe. But as we speak, the moguls of Big Tech are pouring their mountain of wealth into finding a cure for death. Don't tell them they won't succeed. None of these titans is richer than Arthur Vogel. This inventor, tech tycoon, and all-round monster has amassed trillions (with a T) and rules over a corporate empire stretching all the way to Mars. The newest - and most expensive - life extension technology has allowed him to live to 127 years, but time is running out. His last hope to escape the inevitable lies with Gene, a human being specifically created for the purpose of housing Arthur's consciousness. The plan is to discard his used-up old carcass and come to a second life in a young, strong body with all appropriate working parts. But there's a problem: Gene. He may be artificial, but he is a person. And he has other ideas. As Arthur sets off to achieve his goal of world domination, Gene hatches a risky plan of his own. The forces against him are very, very rich, extremely determined, and used to getting what they pay for. The battle between creator and creation is joined as the two minds wrestle for control of one body. This story is real. The tech is in development. The sponsors are the titans of industry well known to you. Eternal life may very soon be at the fingertips of those who can afford it. Mixing brisk action, humor, and wicked social commentary, Immortal Life imagines a day just around the corner. Welcome to a brave new world that is too familiar for comfort - and watch the struggle for humanity play out to the bitter end. Members Reviews: a bit immature in nature This was an interesting tale but many details were like the telling of a story that a middle school boy would put together. This is horrible. I found this slow, boring and the story was horrible. The narrator put me to sleep. Don't bother. Really Disappointing An earlier Audible review (which I did not read until it was too late) characterized the writing as immature, and that is spot-on. I listened to this book based on a pretty good review in a publication I trust. Wow, what a disappointment. The concept had promise, but the story development is so poor I re-read a chapter to see if I missed something. The dialog sounds like it was written by a high school burnout (lots of dude in the script). I was embarrassed for the author, who is also the narrator. Someone (editor, publisher?) should have prevented him from publishing this book without a serious rewrite. What a waste of a good premise. Really disappointing. Dont waste your time with this one.

The Utopia Chronicles Audiobook by Matthew Mather

Title: The Utopia Chronicles Subtitle: Atopia, Book 3 Author: Matthew Mather Narrator: Luke Daniels Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 04-25-17 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 75 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: Robert Baxter once reveled in the intoxicating delights of Atopia - the man-made island where humans lose themselves in a world of boundless virtual realities. Now, Bob has returned to immerse himself in this mind-altering, consciousness-sharing refuge from the eroding Earth. But something is very wrong. Bob feels a tidal wave of doom cresting above the pleasure dome that is Atopia. As alternate universes perish, the salvation of all he loves - and all that exists - rests with Bob alone. To save the future, he must journey to the farthest edge of the past, where existence itself began and Atopia's deepest secrets may lie. Yet even the knowledge Bob ultimately gains may not be a match for an enemy as powerful as a god, and as all-consuming as death... Members Reviews: Muddy conclusion This final conclusion of the Atopia series sees Robert Baxter existing and crossing between multiverses while trying to stop an evil that is destroying entire universes. The scope here is obviously quite large, covering universes and time. Bob works to solve the mystery of "the destroyer" and save the Atopia he once knew. There is a lot of time and universe jumping, lots of philosophical wanderings, and many questions about good vs. evil, humanity vs artificial, etc. The story was quite entertaining and the plot kept on a good pace. On the negative side, often times things were a bit confusing and not well explained, and the author decided to take a very anti-Christian stance throughout the book which probably wasn't necessary. For these reasons, I give it a 3.5. For the audiobook, the narrator did a super job without any missteps. Love... This series is amazing! Some people complained it got too philosophical but I think it's fantastic! And Luke Daniels' performance is exceptional as always!! Love love love! Awesome This book perfectly sums up the trilogy of The Utopia Chronicles! I enjoyed every second of it. I recommend it for anyone and everyone. Different Very different from the first two books in the series. It does an excellent job of towing everything together. It was confusing but stick it out and get to the end. Definitely worth the read. Too Esoteric for Me I enjoyed the first 2 books for n this series quite a bit, but the last one becomes almost an exercise in philosophy. Not enough plot to really keep me interested.

Title: Ninth Cycle Antarctica Subtitle: A Rossler Foundation Mystery Thriller, Volume 2 Author: J C Ryan Narrator: William Andre Gensburger Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 09-05-17 Publisher: JC Ryan Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 18 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: Was there a human civilization in Antarctica in the past? Will we ever know? In November 2002, a special US Navy SEAL team is sent to Antarctica to locate and rescue a film crew that has become lost. No trace of them is found, except for film footage of strange artifacts buried under the ice. Everyone who saw the film is warned to never talk about what they have seen - ever again. More than a decade later in Boulder, Colorado, Professor Charles Summers is intrigued by the discovery of a 16th century map showing the coastline of Antarctica so accurately, that when NASA investigates the maps, they find that they must update their own current maps! But this map predates any record of the discovery of Antarctica by 300 years! Who drew those maps and when? Did they see Antarctica without its icecap? Did humans live on Antarctica before? But, Antarctica has been under its icecap for 200 million years! Is it possible that beneath the ice we will find the remains of an impossibly ancient civilization? The Rossler Foundation arranges an expedition to Antarctica to search for evidence of such a civilization. The Orion Society immediately mobilizes their resources to infiltrate the expedition. Will their treachery and hunger for power stop this expedition from reaching its goals? Is there an ancient city under the ice of Antarctica? Ninth Cycle Antarctica is the second book in the Rossler Foundation Series, it is a full-length audiobook, a stimulating thriller about an attempt at uncovering true human history in the face of adversity. This adventure takes listeners back into the mysteries of the Rossler Foundation, which began with JC Ryan's best-selling audiobook The Tenth Cycle. Members Reviews: Volume 2 This is the second book in JR Ryan's 'Rossler Foundation' series . I wish I listen to the first book so I can understand more of the story I received a free review copy from AudioBookBoom. Not Worth It I found the "Ninth Cycle Antarctica" to be a bit slow and not very compelling. About 3/4 of the way through, the book started to pick up but as quickly as it got interesting, it ended anti-climatically with clear intentions of there being another book in the series. I don't prefer to read a second book just to get an ending to the first book I read so I won't be reading on. That said, the narration was quite good. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher. Interesting idea loooong execution So this is the second book and since I hadnt listened to the first I was a little confused but not so much as to ruin the story. However the story seemed to drag for the first 1/2-3/4, then it got interesting, and then it felt like it wrapped up quickly. I love the adventure isolationist stories but a little faster paced. To be fair it may have been better with a little background from the first story. It was also in need of some editing, as the narrator repeated himself at times. Again not all that distracting tho. The narrator also sounded like he was more reading rather than acting with run on statements and normal pitch throughout. Overall not horrible, not wonderful, but somewhere in the middle.

Punishment does. In a time when prisons no longer contain inmates behind concrete and steel, the convicted serve their time while asleep, rehabilitating in virtual reality while blissfully unaware of their crimes. Roger Parker is a professional prison breaker, skilled at navigating these strange penal dream worlds and extracting those imprisoned there - for a price. Parker wants out of the game, but a powerful senator, desperate to save his son, convinces Parker to pull one last job. The clincher? An opportunity for Parker to find his wife, herself interned, lost somewhere in a treacherous, time-shifting Manhattan cyberscape. As Parker and his team make their hallucinatory journey between worlds, memory and motive lose coherence and integrity, and the clock begins to run out: internal security detects the breaker, and sets out to remove him - permanently. Unable to rely on his perceptions, unsure of the truth or even his very identity, will Parker break out... or be broken? Members Reviews: Better than Inception & The Matrix Combined What made the experience of listening to The Memory Agent the most enjoyable? It has the same feel you get when you watch Inception. You try to follow these characters as they delve into various virtual prisons and it's confusing, but in a fun way. I absolutely adored this book and Mr. Delaney is someone I'm watching from now on. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Memory Agent? Just keeping up with the narrative was so much fun. Some readers may find this taxing, because they don't want to think when they listen to/read books; I, on the other hand, found it to be enjoyable and it helped my mind get a work out! What does James Patrick Cronin and James Foster bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? See, both of these narrators are amazing and I thought they did an incredible job. However, I still don't get why there needed to be two. I thought it would explain it in the book (it may have), but I missed it if it did. That being said, I liked the two narrators and I wouldn't necessarily change it. I just wanted to know the reason why. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? This question always gets me! Before I try (and fail) to do this, I will say that if they don't make this into a movie, I'll be sad. It has it all and it better be picked up by someone great! Okay, I've tried several times to come up with something, but I can't. I'll let Hollywood come up with something great! Any additional comments? If I'm being completely analytical here, I'll say that, no, this book didn't have the best characterization. There was one hole that I found (not a big one and it'd be easily remedied). I don't want people to see my review and wonder why I'm raving so much. Honestly, this book was like watching a Christopher Nolan movie (one of his good ones, at least), and you don't always get that with books. I felt right in the action like I was watching a screen. I loved this book, and I'm hoping more people will find it as thrilling as I did. Whoa! I see that another reviewer posted "confusing, but in a fun way". I think that's the feeling I got from this book. I loved it.

But unlike other true crime stories, not all of these murders have been committed...yet. Members Reviews: A must read This book is another success for the author. I enjoyed the continued story of Damien Drake as well as Chase Adams. They are both characters battling demons from their past but continue to grow and push forward in the face of adversity. Most people can identify with them after all we all have regrets. This book is fast paced and well written and I couldn't put it down. I genuinely enjoy everything this author has written and would highly recommend reading anything by him. Great Book, great series, great author This book was hard to put down, so I didn't. The only thing that would be better is If Patrick Logan could write a little faster. The characters are flawed yet loveable human beings. The story is fast paced and keeps you guessing until the end. I thoroughly enjoyed this book by Patrick Logan I thoroughly enjoyed this book by Patrick Logan. I have read several of his books and they are right my alley. I call them psycho babble serial killers. Damien and Chase make a spectacular pair. I am a little disappointed that they will be split in future endeavors. Keep writing and I will definitely keep reading. Kudos. if you are into murder mysteries you won't be disappointed. Read the first two in the series first ... Couldn't put it down, can't wait for the next in the series. I don't want to give anything away, if you are into murder mysteries you won't be disappointed. Read the first two in the series first though. :) Good book Good character development. I just cannot stand the horrible editing. It was better in the then the other one. Besides that a good read.

Members Reviews: A great near-future thriller! Enjoyed this one a lot! From the author's fascinating incorporation of synesthesia to likeable/believable characters and thought-provoking plot, there's a lot to like here. I'm looking forward to the sequels. a great story and a great narration if you are sci-fi lover this book will capture you you won't be able to put it down and stop it because the book is very good I love this very much and enjoyed the narrator quite well I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review." My review This is differently a different kind of book, but I really liked it. It takes place in the future and tells of three people who believe that the choice of procreation shouldn't be left up to individual people, but rather a select group of people. There's gun fights, car chases, ling lost family and love. Entertaining and enjoyable Overall a very entertaining, engaging and enjoyable story. Even though it is an interesting, original and creative story it was very confusing in the beginning. Stick with it. It's worth it. The unfamiliar setting of South Africa, the difference in words/slang used, the back and forth in time periods and the "altered" world in which the story takes place all added to the confusion. Despite being confusing in the beginning it's like watching an Indie film, you have no clue what is going on but little by little things start to come together. The story moves at a slower pace in the beginning and as things start to make sense it picks up pace as you are drawn deeper and deeper into the story. Before you know it you are so caught up in the story you can't stop listening. I do have to say it was about chapter 13 before I was completely drawn into the story. From that point on I wanted to listen in one sitting and was irritated anytime I had to pause the book. It is definitley a series I will continue with. Good cast of interesting and well rounded characters. Kirsten(Kate) and Seth(Sam) are both interesting characters. Keke just about stole the show though. She was just one of characters that has personality that jumps off the page. There were a couple of times I wanted to shake some sense into Kirsten. When you find out youre a target, hurry up and leave, you dont stop and take a few minutes to..can't say or I'd be giving some of the story away. This is the first time I have listened to Roshina Ratnam narrate a book. She did a fantastic job with the narration. Nice voice that it easy to listen to for long periods of time. Her voice fit the characters. Clearly spoken with a nice smooth pace. Really good character voices. Both male and female. She was able to bring the characters and the story to life.

Dubeau Narrator: Amy Landon Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 31 mins Language: English Release date: 01-24-17 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 32 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: The Life Engineered begins in the year 3594, when humanity is little more than a memory, a legend of the distant past - destined to reappear. Capeks, a race of artificial creatures originally created by humans, have inherited the galaxy and formed a Utopian civilization built on the shared goal of tirelessly working to prepare for their makers' return. One moment a cop dying in the line of duty in Boston, the next "reborn" as a Capek, Dagir must find her place in this intricate society. That vaguely remembered "death" was but the last of hundreds of simulated lives, distilling her current personality. A robot built for rescue and repair, she finds her abilities tested immediately after her awakening when the large, sentient facility that created her is destroyed, marking the only instance of murder that the peaceful Capeks have ever known. For the first time in their history, conflicting philosophies clash, setting off a violent civil war that could lay waste to the stars themselves. Dagir sets off on a quest to find the killers and finds much more than she sought. As the layers of the Capeks' past peel away to reveal their early origins, centuries-old truths come to light. And the resulting revelations may tear humanity's children apart - and destroy all remnants of humankind. Members Reviews: Brilliant Completely engrossing. I only stopped listening to sleep. This was so original and despite the length, felt completely epic. I'm sure there's the chance my perspective is limited, but I've never read a story like this. Please give it a try and decide for yourself. Very interesting story with a good rhythm Can't wait to get more stories in this universe and to see how the characters evolve. Will life created by man inherite it's flaws? This book has a few mysteries piled on top of each other in a unique setting filled with unique artificial life forms. It starts with a murder mystery that occurs almost immediately after the construction of the main character, Dagir, and moves on to a bizarre cover up about the artificial race of Capeks' very long existence. This setting is very inspired and very thought provoking in certain ways. The book plays with the ideas behind the creation of artificial life at the hands of humans. If we were to create sentient machines why would we do it? How would such beings view the universe and how would the marks of humanity affect their outlooks and priorities? What would their societies be like? These questions stimulate the imagination alongside others in a way pleasing to fans of science fiction. The narrator, Amy Landon, does a great job and just makes the audiobook pop in personality. Her cool and flexable voice was perfect for Dagir. Dagir had humanity, yet was a machine and needed a narrator that could relay that level of complexity to listeners. While "The Life Engineered" is not exactly the most lengthy of audiobooks at roughly six and a half hours, there is a lot of obviously thoughtful detail put into it. It is highly recommended to listeners who enjoy science fiction focused on the concept of sentient machines and want a story told from a unique perspective of a unique iteration of those concepts.

In the second book, the fight to reclaim the town of Porter is attempted. Tank is still trying to find Lea and take revenge on her parents. It's a fast paced story with lots of action! Great post-apocalyptic adventures! Excellent adventure! The author is extremely knowledgeable about the subject matter(s) and spins the yarn with the proper BELIEVABLE story-telling expertise. The best thing about Lee West's fiction is that it's so realistic! I'm an avid reader and have been so for about 62 years and I've already read the first 2 books of the series but I have yet to think: "That can't really happen!" about any of the situations presented or the solutions to the problems. I hope they continue to come! Resist and Evade Lee west Book two in the series. After the chaos of an unknown EMP strike, a gang " the New Order" has taken control. Brutal, mostly escaped convicts. The local police, veterans and locals courageously take the battle to them. Full of action, this is an extraordinary tale of bravery and the will to survive. An exceptional read!! Awsome Book was well written and held my attention. Would recommend to anyone. I can hardly wait for the continued story of this family. I'll buy Book 3 I'm impressed with the tenderness of the story describing spousal love as well as family attachment.

Countless legends and stories share the same hunt: extend our lifetimes beyond the impossibly brief moment we have. Hanson imagines life beyond those legends and stories - a solar system where humanity has discovered the secret to immortal life, at an extreme cost. What horrors await a society that rests an economy on the most scarce resource man has ever known - eternal life? Join The December Protocol in following three characters uniquely affected by the most amazing technological change humanity has ever experienced.

Marcus, a man brought to his knees by that emperor of all maladies, cancer, willing to pay the ultimate price for perfect health through immortality. The December Protocol rockets the listener into the late 24th century and raises thrilling questions about how far mankind would go to preserve the most precious gift we've ever received: immortality. Members Reviews: 12 hours felt more like 6. This is one of those books that I was sad that the ending came so quickly. It raises the question, "How much is your life worth compared to someone else?" It makes you think while keeping you engaged.

I love this series and I hope Rebecca Cantrell will continue to write more books on Tesla's adventures. Worth the credit and the waiting!

In fact, the evidence points to a connection with an "accident" that downed Patriot Airlines Flight 63 in Bermuda with fatal consequences for all on board. As the accidents investigation chairman of the pilots' union, Captain Hart Lindy will find himself reluctantly drawn into the National Transportation Safety Board's inquiry only to discover that someone is going to great lengths that include murder and kidnapping to prevent the facts from being exposed. But who? And why? These are the questions Lindy will need to answer in order to get at the truth about what really happened to Flight 63. His task is complicated by his own personal demons, including the horrors of past airline crash investigations, as well as having to walk a diplomatic tightrope with an eccentric FBI special agent who is barely tolerating NTSB protocol, and an ambitious female NTSB investigator with eyes for Hart. Written by a veteran airline pilot and aviation analyst, Paper Wings will keep you up in the air and on the edge of your seat in first class. You'll want to keep your belts fastened while in flight! Members Reviews: Spellbound!! Wow! As a flight attendant for the author's airline and a South Florida resident, I was spellbound for various reasons. The plot twists kept on coming and the details too close to reality for comfort. Kind of makes you scratch your head and think "hmm, I wonder if...". I truly enjoyed it and hope Captain Abend keeps up the good work. 6 Stars! I knew I'd like Paper Wings because I've been reading Les' column in Flying Magazine for years. But man, I could not put it down. Suspenseful from the start and when I read the last page, I was sad it was over. Good reading I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The combination of aviation details and murder/mystery suspense made for an enjoyable read. I would recommend this book. Five Stars Compelling. Keeps you guessing until the end and then leaves you with "what if". This is not a book that I would ever read ... This is not a book that I would ever read. But, his wife is a friend of mine. I bought it.. I read a few pages. No, not going to read it. Went back and read a few more pages and I was hooked. I would get so wrapped up in a chapter. And "Bam" we are into something else in the next chapter. Now, I want to know what is going to happen in the next chapter. I just got so wrapped up in the book, I would read any time I had a chance. My husband started it before me. So, he knew what was coming up for me. This book was a mystery book that I could not stop until I got to I read the whole thing! 5 stars from me.

Long Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: Ripped straight from the headlines! A country in chaos. A government obsessed with power. A series of coordinated attacks on the largest cities in America. Bradley Adams, a former Army veteran, and prepper, is swept up in a web of lies following a politically motivated work place shooting. When martial law is declared, his life descends into a series of nightmares from which there may be no escape. This is the story of a man dedicated to defending his family, his home, and his country. Members Reviews: Wow straight out of the headlines! What made the experience of listening to Drums of War the most enjoyable? Really enjoyed the fact that this book feels like what's going on in the country right now! Liked the interjections of news people giving reports and updates which again really sounded like what we are hearing today. Also liked the fast pace of the story. What did you like best about this story? The fact that you think things are happening for one reason but they are really part of a bigger plot behind the scenes. Can't wait for next book....oh and people die that you don't' expect to die. What does Todd Menesses bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Nice pacing, great with differentiating the voices and characters....easy to follow. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Wanted to but I usually listen while on my long train commute. Any additional comments? This one is worth a credit, no matter which side of the political fence you are on but remember it's only fiction....right? Okay story, narrator kinda not so much. Decent Story. Really nice how the author used current economic and socio-political climate in the book. Very plausible premise. Narrator leaves a bit to be desired, but still better than Kevin Pierce.

Title: Nearest Night Subtitle: Plague Wars Series, Book 5 Author: Ryan King, David VanDyke Narrator: Artie Sievers Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 08-03-16 Publisher: David VanDyke Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 21 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: When a friend disappears, Skull must track him down. When Spooky's family is sent to a death camp, he proposes a suicidal rescue, and only Reaper can lead it. Bogged down in a war with the rebel state of Alaska, at odds with Canada and meddling in Mexico's politics, the Unionist-controlled USA proceeds down an ugly path toward fascism, tyranny, and genocide. Politics, assassination, and propaganda form the backdrop for a race against time to rescue hundreds of dying Edens held deep within the American heartland. Members Reviews: Characters to die for in continuing saga of high adventure and entertainment! Once again, this Plague Wars story entertains! "Nearest Night" really ought to be referenced as Book 4.5 (sandwiched between "Apocalypse Austin" and "The Demon Plagues") as it picks up immediately after the new fascist U.S. government's reunification of Texas after war redefines boundaries, shows readers just how well the 10th Mountain Division fares in the frozen tundra of Canada against a resistance comprised of Alaskans and the rise of a new President and Vice President who are Unionists. Thank goodness Jill 'Reaper' Rapeth and Skull are back in action - my favorite PW characters - as are Reaper's Rangers and 'Spooky' Nguyen. Fearing that there may be Edens who have no ability to tap into virtue ("Psychos") among the Free Communities, Cassandra puts Reaper in charge of Spooky's attempt to rescue his family and to keep a close eye on the wet-works master who may or may not be trustworthy. Skull is on the hunt to free Larry Nightingale from a possibly-disastrous fate at the hands of Dutch extremists who consider anyone infected with the Eden Virus non-human and thus, a major threat. As the world devolves into chaotic factions motivated by control, power, tyranny and genocide in a fast-paced and gritty dystopian landscape, the need for the specialties of those loyal to Daniel Markis become even more evident. This is a finely crafted bridge of a story that fans of the series will love. For those who pick this up as their first read in the series, you will be wanting more when you hit the final page. VanDyke and King have created a fantastic mix of characters in a fun, twisted adventure that includes elements of military action, science fiction, political drama, social commentary and pure entertainment. Realpolitik by U.S. Fascists The world teeters forward in the post-apocalyptic fallout from Texas. Politics become dirtier, the lunatic fringe in both camps gain traction. Realistically rendered, a dystopian cynicism colors the interactions between Skull, Spooky and Reaper as they set out to liberate Camp Pleasant- a task made almost impossible by betrayal. One of their team might be a Psycho mole for the Unionists and CIA... This book fills in the holes in the timeline between books 4 and 5 and makes the U.S. flag need two extra stars... From Sea To Shining Sea From Landbridge To The Pole... this book satisfies my feelings for EMPIRE! Intricately webbed, gripping... Wow. All the twisted webs. There are too many to count. Virtue effect or not, no one, I mean no one is truly innocent in this story. Each individual has their own desperate agendas and circumstances.

For thousands of years, the truth about human history has intentionally been suppressed and exploited. For decades, scholars have been saying that the truth about human history will be found inside the Great Pyramid of Giza, but up till now no one has ever been able to find it. Those who tried have been ridiculed and persecuted. Will Daniel Rossler and Dr. Sarah Clarke be allowed to uncover the real and true message? As they come closer to the truth, skepticism out of the academic community is replaced by evil and malicious adversaries, dumping them into a very hostile world where violence, deceit, and duplicity become their daily companions. The mysterious Orion Society with its deranged and psychopathic members, the CIA, the Marines, the Mossad, and even the president of the United States become involved. Not all of them have good intentions. The Tenth Cycle is a full-length novel, a provocative technothriller about human history, conspiracies, and an ancient society with power and money that will stop at nothing to reach their sinister goals. This fast-paced thriller adventure is the first book in J C Ryan's Rossler Foundation Mystery series. Members Reviews: Bad audio, but book worth purchasing Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? I would definitely recommend the print or electronic version of this book to a friend. The story is fun, action packed, and fast paced. However, I wouldn't recommend the audiobook because the narrator's voice (I'm not sure if it's a weird accent or a lisp) kept pulling me out of the story, and tarnished my experience with this story as a result. Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? Absolutely! I felt like I barely had a chance to catch a breather before the characters were thrust into more action. How could the performance have been better? I'm not sure if the performance could've been improved by the narrator as the problem was his voice. However, the book could've been performed better if it would've been done by a different narrator. Do you think The Tenth Cycle needs a follow-up book? Why or why not? Yes, this story has more threads than Souja Boy has stacks. Another book could easily be written. Any additional comments? I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Interesting! This book has a very good story. In a way, different way to see men's evolution. It's really enjoyable. I highly recommend it. This book was free for an honest review. Dan Brown -ish Where does The Tenth Cycle rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? I read a lot of mystery and thriller books every month and most of them turn out to be pretty meh. This book was an exception. The synopsis promises an action packed book and then the book actually delivers on that promise. Apart from a few dull moments, the story is fast paced and never bored me. The suspense is well crafted and every chapter makes it more n more thrilling. It all comes to a head in the end and climaxes with a satisfying ending. What about William Andre Gensburgers performance did you like? The narration was one of the good points of this audiobook. Andre delivered an awesome performance, with a distinct voice for each of the characters.

Burkey Narrator: Derek Shoales Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 18 mins Language: English Release date: 09-13-17 Publisher: Enigma Series LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 15 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: When a Brazilian industrialist hires the R-Group, the world's most elite information-gathering unit to track the disappearance of his daughter - a dangerous - but quiet hunt begins. But just finding her doesn't mean all will be well. The team in Switzerland follows the leads from South America to Mexico and the Caribbean, but the data trail is leading nowhere. Sometimes the most important clues come from unlikely sources. By chance, two members of the elite team vacationing in Mexico cross paths with Carlos and Juan's fly-by-night operation. Cloaking their "moving business" from satellite surveillance, their unique talent for relocating drug lords targeted by the Mexican authorities, along with their cash, gold, artwork and other assets, was legendary. These are Bad Boys, so-called entrepreneurs, whom even the most generous observer would question the legality of their business model. Can the R-Group assemble the pieces of the puzzle without international consequences? Will the brothers stop running outside the law long enough to do the right thing? Can you hide from your past and still enjoy the present? Is the heiress hiding in plain sight or gone forever? And can the brothers rein in their contempt for societal rules and leave behind the sweet deals long enough to save a life? The Enigma Rising continues the award-winning Breakfield and Burkey's series, overcoming opportunistic cyber-crime in the high-stakes world of information brokering in the 21st century. With its strong cast of characters, this engaging techno-thriller of lost-and-found - and lost again - will take you on an incredible journey into the dark side of technology. Members Reviews: Thriller but not technothriller The R-group is hired this time to find the daughter of a powerful man. Petra and Jacob travel to Mexico and there they meet Carlos and Simone, which rapidly becomes Petras friend. But Carlos and his brother Juan are mixed in some dangerous stuff. I really enjoyed the previous book, so I was looking forward to this one. Even though this is the second book in the series, it is not a continuation of the previous book and could be read standalone. If the previous book was very technology centered, the same does not happen with this one, which is something I missed. We get to know better Jacob and Petra, but even like that they didnt feel fully fleshed to me. Petra started a sudden friendship with Simone that felt completely artificial to me. The conversations the girls had did not feel natural at all, so I disliked this part. It was an entertaining thriller, but for me not at the level of the previous book. It felt slowly paced at some points, and the girls conversations were definitely skippable. This book is narrated by a different narrator than the first book. Derek Shoales does a good job with accents and voices, but the book is so loaded with accents that it becomes a bit tiresome after a while. Not Shoales fault, he did very good a differentiating characters and keep things consistent. I received a copy of this book in audio format from the producer in exchange for an honest review. Felt like a short stretched to make a full book. The second book in this tech series felt like a slight misstep in some aspects. It felt like it would have worked better as the initial part of another book, or a short.

Luna Valencia is the founder of the hottest artificial intelligence startup in history. She's about to become incredibly rich and powerful. But just when she's about to take her company public, her world begins to fall apart. On the day of her startup's IPO, a stock exchange shooter plummets Luna into a downward spiral toward a threat more menacing than she ever imagined possible. Faced with losing her company, her entire world, Luna searches for answers to a series of terrifying accusations. Failing to uncover the truth could destroy her company...but success would get her killed. Big Data is a fresh approach to the artificial intelligence sci-fi thriller. If you like fast-paced action, heart-stopping tension, and tech-filled worlds set in the near future, then you'll love Lucas Carlson's latest novel. Discover the AI twist today! Members Reviews: We keep worrying about AI taking over... Luna Valencia has created a platform that allows almost anyone in the world to have access to a supercomputer. This allows for great strides in almost everything that uses technology. It's everywhere, helping to make the world a better place... for now. On the day of their IPO, someone comes into the NYSE with a bomb strapped to their chest hoping to talk to Luna, to tell her about something she had no idea about. What follows is a technothriller where Luna and everyone around her is in danger at every turn from an invisible antagonist. The narration by Robyn A Roth was well done. She gave the main character a great voice, and the others in the book were secondary characters. There's nothing wrong with that at all as the story revolves around on person. The audio quality left me a little upset. Listening to this in the car wasn't too bad, but if you listen to it on headphones there is a faint fuzzy background noise throughout the entire book. There were a few times that it went away, but only for a few words. I'm not sure if the narrator or the producer/production company is to blame for this, but if it's possible to clean it up, it might be worth the effort. Lucas Carlson knows how to write. Big Data kept me interested from beginning to end, grabbing my attention and never letting it go. It's one of those books that the first chapter has you looking down the rabbit hole and the last chapter has you realizing that you've been reading the book all day. Honestly, it reminded me of a mix between Joseph Finder and Michael Crichton. Big Data is extremely rooted in plausibility. It's just one of those stories that you read and think, well, let's hope that we're not shortsighted and ignore all of the warning signs. I genuinely started this book and had a hard time putting it down. If you are familiar with other Carlson's other Startup Thriller "The Term Sheet", you won't be disappointed. And if you're new to his storytelling -- this is a great story to jump into. Non-stop action interweaving technology and the real world. Big Data Excellent! Easily as good as The Term Sheet.

Rath's Rebellion Audiobook by Piers Platt

Title: Rath's Rebellion Subtitle: The Janus Group, Volume 5 Author: Piers Platt Narrator: James Fouhey Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 7 mins Language: English Release date: 08-02-16 Publisher: Piers Platt Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 106 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: After he's found guilty of murder, Rath is saved from a death sentence by a mysterious new ally. His newfound friends have a daring plan to rekindle an old revolution, and they want his help. If it all works, Rath could clear his conscience at last, and pay his debt to society. But starting a rebellion will put him squarely in the sights of Beauceron and Paisen as they rush to prevent the looming war. And even Rath's best-laid plans can go astray.... Members Reviews: If you are a fan of Rath, this is a must read! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Love Rath, love the book What was one of the most memorable moments of Rath's Rebellion? The awakening Which character as performed by James Fouhey was your favorite? Rath Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Rath's new understanding Any additional comments? Its hard to love a serial killer but time after time you must with Rath!!! Book 5 delivers! Book 5 takes us well inside Rath's psyche and introduces us to new decisions and new situations that will leave you questioning if you really know Rath as well as you think you do. Great story! Political agenda? I enjoyed the other books in the series so much that I was looking forward to this one. Unfortunately it sure seemed like there was a liberal agenda that the author really was pushing through this book. The storyline on this book was definitely not as good as the others and developed way too fast. I hope the next one is better because it's starting to look like the good guys i.e. the police finally have someone on their side that can compete with the bad guys... Loved it I love the diversity and depth of the characters. The intro of Six was my favorite storyline, followed by the ex-Guild members. I love how it logically showed how people that are allies can be on opposite sides. Only criticism would be the ending seemed a bit rushed, and villain actions seemed lucky and stupid at the end. Always in the wrong place Rath's Rebellion is the 2nd installment of Piers Platt's 2nd trilogy of the Janus Group. Following his trial, Rath is broken out of prison by the mystery cabal encounter previously. Rath now finds himself involved in a revolutionary group, equipped with the super weapon Paison has previously stolen for them with an intent of bringing down the Federacy. At the same, Dazi is moving in on busting the Neopuritans, while the Neopuritan Senator Fos is busy inserting into himself deeper into Senate double dealing. Beauceron and his new girlfriend are slowing sleuthing their way into the action from a different direction. The sci-fi elements are all in line with previous volumes. The plot is a bit more complex with more independent players with varying objectives (compared to the 1st trilogy); the characters are largely one dimensional, crudely rendered, and somewhat transparent. Rath continues in his quest for absolution, but can also be annoying gullible. The narration continues to be well done with an excellent range and distinction of voices for both genders. The pace makes for an easy, fast listen.

Primary Protocol Audiobook by JM Guillen

Title: Primary Protocol Subtitle: The Dossiers of Asset 108, Book 2 Author: JM Guillen Narrator: Joel Richards Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 27 mins Language: English Release date: 12-22-16 Publisher: Irrational Worlds Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 17 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: Eldritch abominations are invading our world. Only Michael Bishop and the Facility stand against them. With none of his cadre at his side, Michael Bishop, Asset of the Facility, awakens in a labyrinth of forsaken darkness with faceless assassins in close pursuit. He has few memories and fewer weapons and is running for his life fighting against inhuman horrors from another world. It seems as if Asset 108 will soon be dead, all without remembering his true nature. Then things grow difficult. Soon Michael and his allies are lost in a dark, forbidden city in a world where the stars are bent and strange. He is without any of his reality-twisting technology or upgraded neuralware and is pursued by mad fanatics, worshipers of the tentacled aberrations that plot against the nations of man. Even this is not the greatest danger, however. There are twisted plots between the abominations, schemes of which Michael and his cadre are simply pawns on a vast board. Soon they will take part in an attack that will change the very fate of this entire twisted realm, all in exchange for a whispered oath: a promise of a way home, back to the rational world. But can the cadre trust the creatures they are bargaining with? Will the technology offered actually be capable of taking them home? And what of the mysterious lost Asset and his cryptic warnings? In distant worlds beneath strange stars, promises are easily broken, especially ones made by inhuman foes. Members Reviews: An Entertaining Mash Up Of Multiple Genres. Primary Protocol is the 2nd story that features the asset, Michael Bishop. The 1st was called Rationality Zero. In both stories, Bishop is an agent working to protect our reality from aliens who definitely dont have our best interest at heart. In Primary Protocol, Bishop wakes up in an alien facility without his memory and must work toward solving that dilemma as well as how to get home. If you like a well-told story that features elements of mind-bending science fiction and Lovecraftian horror, then you must check out Primary Protocol. If you havent read/listened to Rationality Zero, You can still enjoy Primary Protocol, but in the case of this series, you will be more satisfied if you start this series in order. Finally, this audio book was provided by the narrator at no cost in exchange for an honest review, courtesy of Audio Book Boom.

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher. A Great Sci-fi Fantasy adventure This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review. This was a great book with everything I like in my Sci-fi. I think I'll have to get the first book in the series to become more familiar with the lingo used to describe the portal jumps and some of the tech used but why not.

The Kafir Project Audiobook by Lee Burvine

Title: The Kafir Project Author: Lee Burvine Narrator: Seth Andrews Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 10-25-16 Publisher: Anaximander Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 234 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: Astronomer and TV science guy Gevin Rees just landed the interview of a lifetime with the world's most famous physicist. Remarkable, because the eccentric genius is notoriously reclusive, and he's already dead. What happens next forces Rees to run for his life from not one but two deadly assassins and global powers desperate to bury what he's just uncovered. Mind-blowing technology and solid evidence that would rewrite religious history and challenge the faith of billions. Members Reviews: Well written and narrated. This was my first book by Lee Burvine. I found it well written and it wove an engaging tale sprinkled with science and history that kept me in the story. The narrator, Seth Andrews was a superb choice. I could listen to that man read a phone book with a voice so smooth. Skeptical, yet pleasantly surprised. I love science fiction, ironically Time Travel with secular undertones. I highly recommend this novel. Riveting start to finish What did you love best about The Kafir Project? Current themes, science Who was your favorite character and why? Gevin Reese, no doubt. Smart, insightful Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes, but didn't have the opportunity Any additional comments? Seth's narration was outstanding. Disappointing What disappointed you about The Kafir Project? The sci-fi concept referenced by the title was merely the McGuffin of a mediocre intrigue plot and not a central part to an actual sci-fi story. It could have just as easily been the secret formula for Coca-Cola that the action revolved around and the story wouldn't have changed at all. What was most disappointing about Lee Burvines story? Aside from missing its opportunity to focus on the myriad of possibilities of what happens when the actual events of religious history are revealed, the story was instead a series of repetitive episodes of the protagonists being pursued, captured and escaping from bad guys. What three words best describe Seth Andrewss performance? Seth Andrews was good with the character dialogue but the non-dialogue portions of the story sounded more like the movie commentary for hearing impaired audiences than it did normal story-telling. What character would you cut from The Kafir Project? The various evil operatives and Burvine's painful digressions into their motivations and psyches. Conspiracy theory elements of the story could have worked better if the threats remained more shadowy. Burvine instead overly detailed his bad guys going so far as to give them back stories and switch parts of the narrative to their point of view. They held up the plot more than advanced it. Any additional comments? Arthur C Clarke's "The Light of Other Days" is a much better sci-fi novel on this topic. It actually explores the ramifications and reactions to the central sci-fi concept. Store brand Dan Brown If you like the Dan Brown (Angels and Demons) mix of fact and fiction I expect you'll like this too. I've heard better stories but this is really good and the action just comes back to back. I do love that there are times in the story where the author could have added another action scene and the characters braced themselves but it passed as just a coincidence like so many experiences we have everyday.

Title: The Ice Chasm Subtitle: Harvey Bennet Thrillers, Book 3 Author: Nick Thacker Narrator: Mike Vendetti Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 01-20-17 Publisher: Turtleshell Press Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: The holy grail of science and computing... A technology worth killing for... Has been created. For years, computer scientists have been working on a single, massive project. It was said to be impossible. Humanity itself may hang in the balance, and a single corporation controls its fate Artificial intelligence is everywhere - in the cars we drive, in the appliances in our homes, and in the computers we use for work and pleasure. But this "intelligence" is lacking in one simple, yet major, way. It is not human. Near the McMurdo Station on the continent of Antarctica, a signal is seen and intercepted by a telecommunications company. They don't understand what the signal means, but whoever sent it is illegally using the company's restricted technology and satellites. Harvey "Ben" Bennett and Juliette Richardson are approached to join an expedition to Antarctica to find the source of the signal, and bring back whatever technology is hidden there. After trekking through the Amazon Rainforest and narrowly escaping death at Yellowstone National Park, Ben has little interest in yet another dangerous mission, but there is one reason he accepts the job: Draconis Industries, the company that was behind the mass genocide at Yellowstone and the heinous crimes in the Amazon. Together, Ben and Julie, joined by new teammates Reggie and Joshua Jefferson, must visit the coldest continent on Earth to uncover what Draconis Industries is trying desperately to keep hidden. Members Reviews: Interesting story. Lots of action. Terrible editing. With great respect for indie writers/publishers, I have to say the huge number of typos and simple grammatical errors in The Ice Chasm were distracting. When I buy a book, even an indie book, I expect text that shows evidence of at least rudimentary editorial attention. I agree with others' assessment that The Ice Chasm is the most interesting story line so far in this series. But at least in the Kindle edition, editorial quality control has led to an amateurish product. What a ride!! I have read the other two Harvey Bennet thrillers that Nick Thacker has written and they were great. Ice Chasm however is way above those two. Watch out James Patterson, Daniel Silvia and other thriller authors. There is a new guy in town! This book was so good I literally could not put it down. You have no idea what is going to happen next and are totally surprised at the twists and turns this book takes. How Harvey and the rest of the crew get out of the predicaments they end up in. You're sure they are dead, but Nick gets them out in the most unique ways. I am very much hoping that there is another book in this series. It was left either way. You can literally see Nick grow as an author from The Enigma Strain to The Amazon Code, then Ice Chasm. Keep up the good work, Nick. Don't miss one of the best thriller series out there. Another 5***** Thriller from Nick Thacker The frozen, windswept landscape of Antarctica is the setting for the exciting third book in Nick Thacker's Harvey "Ben" Bennett earthly sci fi trilogy.

Archaeologist Gail Turner stumbles upon the most incredible find in living memory, a find that the ruthless Seth Mallus will do anything to get hold of. Caught up in a web of deceit, kidnapping, and murder, Gail struggles to unravel the mystery of the Amarna Stickman as the world around her descends into chaos. With startling data from NASA raising more questions than answers, she is ultimately faced with a revelation that shatters everything she thinks she knows and who she is. Members Reviews: Full of surprises! Held my attention all the way through and not a cliff hanger that leaves you needing to buy the next book for satisfaction. Excellent if you are into Egyptian history, still interesting even if you are not. Great bed time story! You'll fall asleep quickly! This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? People with a greater attention span than I. My thoughts kept wondering off. The narrator's voice just droned on and on and on. Would you be willing to try another one of Anne Flosniks performances? No. Definitely not. Any additional comments? I wanted to try a different genre. This was not for me. By chapter 14 I was bored and looking for a refund, which wasn't available. Oh well. I won't be buying any more from either this author or the narrator.

Title: The Enigma Ignite Subtitle: The Enigma Series, Book 3 Author: Roxanne E Burkey, Charles V Breakfield Narrator: Derek Shoales Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 26 mins Language: English Release date: 12-18-17 Publisher: Enigma Series LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: As the world's biggest powers compete for superiority, it's not larger weapons or greater numbers of soldiers that top their wish lists. Instead, it's the latest and greatest technological advances: nanotechnology, dynamic programming algorithms, and drones, working together to build the next generation of military communications. When a professor at a Texas university begins researching ways to improve animal husbandry and boost global food supplies, her results catch the eye of inquisitive engineer Keith Austin Avery, whose interests have nothing to do with solving world hunger. But as Avery works on potential new uses for this technology, his research draws the attention of a powerful terrorist group, with traumatic results for him and his subcontractor Eilla-Zan Marshall. Now it;s up to the members of the R-Group to find the terrorists and their captives, using all the data and analytics at their disposal to leverage each and every piece of information. The fast-paced third installment of the Enigma Series has R-Group's Jacob working closely with a powerful and talented team, with results that incorporate a satisfying balance of technology, surprisingly sensitive romance, and the blurred lines that surround the age-old conflict between good and evil. Members Reviews: I could NOT put this audiobook down The Enigma Ignite is an invigorating listen. I could NOT put this audiobook down and found it extremely aggravating when I had no choice! The authors put an interesting spin on nanobots that is unusual, unique and fascinating! Petra and Jacob are together again but play a smaller role in this story letting others take center stage. Professor Su Lin in her quiet life to improve animal husbandry and with her assistants' help makes a discovery that everyone wants at any cost! Otto and his crew of experts combined with new characters strive to keep the deadly work from the wrong hands while also thwarting the evil terrorist hell-bent on wreaking havoc on the US. Su Lin puts Jacob and others in a major tailspin as they race against the clock to save her. The authors Charles Breakfield and Roxanne Burkey are amazing authors! They know their audience and know the genre inside and out! They have built a cohesive and captivating group of people that their readers are invested in. Their dialogs are realistic as are their characters. I cannot wait to see where Breakfield and Burkey take us next with the earth-shattering endings and beginnings that are going to take place in the next book! Derek Shoales did a great job of narrating the story. His voice fluctuated appropriately, he spoke clearly and with some of the characters spoke them with conviction (i.e. the terrorist). I enjoyed his voice and tone throughout the book. Anyone who loves thrillers and mysteries with an amazing TWIST this is the book for you!!! There were no issues with the audio quality or production of this audiobook. Audiobook was provided for review by the publisher. Please find this complete review and many others at my review blog. [If this review helped, please press YES. Thanks!] Too unrealistic The ridiculous descriptions of technology throughout this story are becoming tedious. And the plot isn't particularly believable either. The characters are very colorful although a bit flat and stereotypical.

But little does she know that the house comes with an unsavory history, one that is a bit too close to comfort; especially when an old university friend looks her up and introduces her to a mysterious and odd American lecturer with a family history connected to her house. When Sam Cleave assists the agents of MI6 to gather intelligence on a corrupt Dutch financier, he finds out that the embezzler is in fact a member of the council, the veteran society managing the Order of the Black Sun. With his investigation of the man, Jaap Roodt, Sam finds out that Nina's life is in danger. She stands in the way of the completion of the Longinus, a fierce and deadly biological weapon set to destroy the world and facilitate the Nazi ritual to bring back the Old Gods by means of the manipulation of advanced physics. Sam needs to find her before the council's assassins do. To obtain the arcane information needed to complete the Longinus, the Black Sun sends Dave Purdue to retrieve it from a place that might or might not even exist - The Library of Forbidden Books. While looking for the deadly codes he needs to collect, Purdue is reunited with Sam and Nina, who are fleeing from the assassins of the council while accompanied by Nina's old university friend and the strange American lecturer. But when they all team up to find the knowledge held in the legendary library, they realize that not all of them have the same intentions for the information contained therein. Which of them have nefarious agendas? And which of them are honestly trying to avert the release of the dreaded biological agent? It is a question that can only be answered within The Library of Forbidden Books.... Members Reviews: Good Plot but Weak Writing & Poor Formatting Makes Library of Forbidden Books a Difficult Read This fictional novel is targeted people to people who enjoy technothrillers. What was the Amazon Rank on the date this review was published? 4,092. Is this a book that I can read without having to read others first? This is the eighth in the series, but it is okay as a stand alone. I also am grateful that the writer did not end with a cliffhanger. Are there a lot of typos/misspellings, grammatical errors or other editing failures? Typos are infrequent but the editing for layout and readability needs improvement. Is this a fast, easy read or is it more of a leisure read? The Library of Forbidden Books is a story for leisure reading. What sort of language does this writer use to amplify the points made? UK Adult English. This is one of those rare works that includes more f-bombs (48 to be precise) than the combined total of other foul language (40 by my count). My biggest pleasure or disappointment was? The paragraph formatting created great difficulty in reading. Second on the list was that the writer tells us everything, rather than let us see it through the characters observations, thoughts and deeds. I tried to provide an excerpt so the formatting issue could be displayed, but Amazon would not permit inclusion in the format I wished to provide. Bottom Line: The writing is okay.

Darusha Wehm Narrator: M. Darusha Wehm Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 11-09-16 Publisher: Scriblotech, Inc. Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: Storefronts busted, businesses destroyed, accounts frozen. No one knows who's behind the rash of vandalism in the virtual world, Marionette City, or how to protect themselves from becoming the next victim. Andersson Dexter has a new lease on life. Things are looking up for the newly independent investigator, when he picks up what seems like an ordinary case of vandalism. Soon Dex discovers that what appears to be a run of the mill case may be linked to a series of more sinister events which could jeopardize the very existence of the virtual world, Marionette City. Join Dex and the rest of The Cubicle Men team on his most complex case yet. Members Reviews: A Stylish Cyber Sci-fi Novel The Beauty of Our Weapons by M. Darusha Wehm is the third novel in the author's Andersson Dexter series and proved to be as an enjoyable read as the previous two books. And once again, this book overflows in a fascinating futuristic world mix that blurs the line between the virtual and real. This time around, the author switches it about a bit with a plot centering on the crime of cyber hacking/vandalism instead of murder. Our intrepid detective, Dex, investigates a case of a mysterious hacker, who has inexplicably altered the in-world virtual meeting space of a religious group. The ensuing investigation uncovers more acts of cyber-vandalism and a disturbing trend that could mean trouble for Dex and his friends. I found The Beauty of Our Weapons a bit quieter than the first two books, though no less satisfying a read. The focus on character development shines stronger in this book, with introductions of new intriguing people and the bringing back of old familiar faces. It also had a surprising, but pleasant, return to one of the subplots from the first book, which I thought closed; this creative twist opened up a fresh dynamic that hopefully will explored further in more books. I also liked the plot evolution at the end of storyline that promises to shift the characters out of their accustomed world and into a new adventure. As usual Ms. Wehm has created a story you can jump into and characters to embrace, with interesting insights on society; her books reflect on today's current state and probe any possible future. The Beauty of Our Weapons is an easy recommend, as is the entire series. read more Darusha! Another great read. No confirmed purchase because I found this author on podiobooks ! Entertaining and insightful _The Beauty of Our Weapons_ is a fast paced thriller with insightful ideas about the nature of crime. Dex and the cubicle men solve crimes, and what they find calls into question the very nature of their, and our, society. Darusha has another great book.

With the mysterious 737 trailing smoke, Donovan and Michael watch as the stricken aircraft makes an emergency landing on a frozen lake. As the Boeing breaks through the ice and begins to sink, a figure escapes into the frigid water and manages to climb up onto the ice. Donovan reaches the lone survivor and discovers it's a young woman. Just before she blacks out, she whispers a dire warning, "Don't let them know I'm alive they'll kill everyone." Seconds to Midnight plunges Donovan Nash and the Eco-Watch team into a fight for their lives. While Donovan searches for answers at the bottom of a frozen lake in Canada, his wife, Lauren, runs from operatives embedded in the top levels of the Russian Government. With communication in the Northern Hemisphere crippled by the massive solar storm, Donovan, Michael, and Lauren battle for each second, as the clock ticks toward a possible Armageddon. Members Reviews: Narrator Spoils this Book! As usual, this latest Phillip Donlay/"Donovan Nash" thriller was a great yarn HOWEVER, it was totally spoiled by the narrator. Rocke's depiction of the various characters was painful to listen to at the very least and simply dreadful most of the book. Further, his attempts to distinguish various accents failed completely and most of the time, it was impossible to tell which character was supposed to be "speaking". Without doubt, the worst Audible narrator of all Audible books I've bought in the many years I've had a subscription. Having read or listened to this entire series of books, I was dreadfully disappointed! BEWARE! Exciting spy thriller Philip Donlay gives us another exciting story. The characters are well drawn and believable. The action pulls the reader into the adventure and the action never stops. The narration is excellent. The narrator is easy to listen to and provides the right amount of emphasis, never getting in the way of the story. He also does very credible accents. Audio books are a newfound option for me and I have been surprised at how easy it is to 'read' a book in this way. First time listener This is the first time I have listened to an audiobook and I found it very easy to follow along. I do not know how narrators are supposed to sound but this particular one definitely kept the story interesting and his transition from character to character was smooth and effortless. In regards to the actual story, this is my particular favorite genre and it kept me interested throughout.

Title: Blackout Author: Marc Elsberg Narrator: Luis Moreno Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 37 mins Language: English Release date: 06-06-17 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 14 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: A terrifyingly plausible, million-copy selling debut about an international blackout perpetrated by a hacker attack. One night, the lights go out across Europe. The electrical grids collapse on an epic scale and unleash a devastating chaos in the total blackout. And unbeknownst to the general population, nuclear reactors are starting to overheat. When a former hacker and activist who knows a thing or two about infiltrating networks starts investigating the cause of this disaster, he soon becomes a prime suspect. As threats to the United States start to emerge, he goes on the run with a young American reporter based in Paris, racing desperately to turn the lights back on. Because if they stay off, tomorrow may be too late. Members Reviews: Good story, not so good translation Great story, fast moving, entirely too plausible. It was originally written in German, and I really wish I'd read it in German because the translation was just awkward. Dialogue like the American saying 'I'll rustle you up some clothes'. So that's how they think we speak. There was other stuff, not big or bad, just enough to make me pause every so often and say huh? Exciting Scary, a reminder of our reliance on technology and the destruction that can be caused when not functioning on a mass scale. Required reading!! Although fiction, brings to light the very real possibilities and vulnerabilities in our power grids. I hope our elected officials take time to read this book and consider safeguards. Five Stars easy to read thriller with interesting insights into current power grid internals and fragility of our civilisation Credible, makes you think Easy read, very credible, makes you think.

A seemingly random murder alerts scientist Dan Clifford to a global conspiracy that stretches from the halls of Washington to the Honduran coast. Illegal undersea activities have unwittingly uncovered a primordial secret that is wreaking havoc on aquatic life and the local human population. When the CDC and the full resources of a US "threat interdiction" team fails to uncover the source of the devastation, Dan and a brilliant marine biologist, Rachel Sullivan, must race to unravel an unimaginable, ancient mystery in the murky depths. It's up to them to stop this terror before a determined multinational corporation triggers a worldwide extinction event - the Seventh Sun of ancient myth. Members Reviews: Fun read It was pleasant to read a book in which the 'hero' was not a person with an undercover background or exceptional physical skills. The storyline is believable and well presented. A few of the transitions and side stories are a little clumsy but overall the book was exciting and entertaining. but fell in love with his style of writing and have been devouring ... I have been strictly reading James Rollins novels for the past four or five years - not much time to read, but fell in love with his style of writing and have been devouring his work ever since. I think I ran across this on one of his social media feeds and preordered it right away. The pacing was different that what I have grown used to, but it was a great read! Very fun book! Excellent mix of science, intrigue, action and suspense. I loved this book and look forward to more by Kent Lester. It had an excellent mix of science, intrigue, action and suspense. I'm looking forward to see what Kent comes up with next. It appears that he did a lot of research for this book because it seemed quite plausible while also keeping you guessing. Excellent initial novel! I could not put it down! I received my copy last week and settled down an afternoon to begin reading, in lieu of a nap. That afternoon turned into an evening and morning and afternoon the next day, as I could not put it down. The last time I remember doing that was a vacation many years ago when I picked up a paperback "The Hunt for Red October" by some guy named Tom Clancy. I hope Mr Lester will keep up the good work in his books to come! Five Stars Very good book.

The Terminal Experiment Audiobook by Robert J. Sawyer

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/91/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Terminal Experiment Author: Robert J. Sawyer Narrator: Paul Hecht Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 16 mins Language: English Release date: 03-28-08 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 367 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: Robert Sawyer has won many awards for his science fiction, which is praised for its blend of high-tech mystery and suspenseful pacing. Members Reviews: Incredible Absolutely perfect. This was quite simply one of the best books -- sci-fi or otherwise -- I've read in a long time. Yes, there's a fascinating sci-fi plot involving the creation of digital simulations of the protagonist's brain, and they stir up a fascinating mess that will delight any lover of intelligent science fiction. But it's the complex, fully fleshed-out characters, lightning fast pacing and genuinely compelling writing that got to me the most, which is why I strongly recommend this book to lovers of great novels as well as to lovers of great sci-fi. While not a deeply devoted sci-fi fan myself, I do enjoy science fiction novels, and I think the few dozen best books in the genre are as good as the best books of ANY genre. But sci-fi gets a bit of a bad rap among mainstream readers, because it does seem like far too often the "sci" gets in the way of the "fi," particularly in the hands of less skilled practitioners, making some of them feel more like interesting textbooks than thrilling novels. But The Terminal Experiment manages to do both, and I find that to be very rare. When it all DOES come together in one book, like it does here, it more than repays your time spent reading it, re-reading it, and writing long recommendations to fellow readers in hopes that they, too have been looking for just such an ideal book. Very highly recommended. fa Please see review from David, from Glenview, IL; he's said it very well. Only thing to add: I hesitated about this listen because, judging from some of the publisher's comments, etc, I feared the religious overtones might be strong, obnoxious, and pro "intelligent design." I was very wrong! This book is full of ideas, debates about ideas, and great fun. If you like great sci-fi (as opposed to fantasy -- when will they stop being lumped together on the shelves!) I believe you'll enjoy this read. Are your moral choices bound? Part (not inconceivably far in the future) sci-fi, part murder mystery.. with a sprinkling of morality (and what ifs...) Most summaries you will come across talk about the character's striving to "capture/reproduce" a soul - and the choices (or rather inevitable paths) that distinguishes life and the afterlife. I see this as a study of morals... what would you do if you were "you" but immortal or incorporeal. How would this change your relationship with others.. the world.. your morals and self beliefs? Peter Hobson (main character) wants to study life after death so creates copies of his own personality (captured with advanced sensor and stored on a computer): - one is a control, - one simulates immortality and - one simulates incorporeality Unfortunately, they "escape" and one of these "souls" starts to murder people in Peter's life. All clues start to point to Peter.. We follow Peter's quest to track down the killer and are introduced to what we may wish to do, but are bound by our imposed morals, ties to our corporeal self and fear of mortality . Would you actually kill someone if you could not be caught.. if you were immortal..

She's leaving the city to fulfill her dream of rural tranquility when she gets carjacked by a man who shouldn't exist. When RCMP officer John Kane kills her would-be abductor, Aydan thinks her troubles are over. But Kane's investigation implicates her in an international espionage plot, and criminal charges become the least of her worries when she's targeted by the very spies Kane suspects her of aiding. Pity her enemies. Because nobody's tougher than a middle-aged woman who wants her dream back. Contains coarse language, moderate violence, and sexuality. The story can stand alone but will be more enjoyable if read in order. If Janet Evanovich's quirky humour met Robert Ludlum's taut thrillers, the Never Say Spy series would be their love child: racy, fun, and action-packed! Books in the series: Book 1: Never Say Spy Book 2: The Spy Is Cast Book 3: Reach For The Spy Book 4: Tell Me No Spies Book 5: How Spy I Am Book 6: A Spy For A Spy Book 7: Spy, Spy Away Book 8: Spy Now, Pay Later Book 9: Spy High Book 10: Spy Away Home Book 11: The Spies That Bind More books coming...

Members Reviews: Meh What would have made Never Say Spy better? Better narrator. The plot was OK, but the narrator didn't carry off the male characters well. The hero, Kane, came off sounding annoyed with everyone and everything, while Hellhound sounded like he was from the backwoods of Kentucky. Her inflections were out of place also. The main character's sarcastic or flippant remarks fell flat.I spent a lot of time listening to the main character whine about being hungry and demanding to be fed. She also spent a lot of time doing "yoga breathing." Based on what was happening to her, the freaks out seemed inappropriate, while at other times, the fact that she wasn't seemed odd. I know that there are people who are totally prepared for every eventuality, but between her ubiquitus backpack and waist pouch, she had everything covered from clothes to food, to tools. If she needed a three-sided, hexagon-shaped buber tuber lancing tool, voila! She had one. It's no wonder Kane didn't believe she was a spy. It's an interesting plot and the author unfolded it well. I'm not sure if I'm willing to force my way through the narrator to listen to more of this series. Would you be willing to try another book from Diane Henders? Why or why not? Yes, but only if someone else reads the book. How did the narrator detract from the book? She couldn't act. If she'd just read the book without changing her voice for the different characters, it might have been better. In several places, her attempt at being flippant didn't work. I'm not even sure that's what the author intended because it seemed out of place. You didnt love this book...

The only way to get Weaver out is to volunteer to go back inside the prison himself. But the clock is ticking - Falken will only have a few days to find his friend and help him escape. While he's back on Oz, he'll have to follow the rules to the letter. One step out of line, and they'll both be stuck in jail...forever. Members Reviews: Toto We're Not in Kansas Anymore! Return to Oz Falken Chronicles book 3 Piers Platt We kind of got set up for this book with the ending of Escape from Olympus, we just didn't know how he was going to save Weaver. So in this book not only do we find out how Falken saves Weaver (to be fair it really isn't him that does itâbut I digress..), and we find out exactly what happened to him after he got out of Oz from the first book, which was absent in Escape from Olympus. I'm consistently amazed at the picture Mr. Platt paints in his words about the different planets he has produced in his books. He is so complete and descriptive you almost feel like you are there with the characters. Now THATS writing! So once again Mr. Platt wrote an awesome series that took me nigh by 4 days to finish 3 books!! No, they're not YA quickies or romances that you can just flip through either. You actually have to think at times. They're just that good! Alas it looks like we're through with Falken for now. But knowing Mr. Platt i'd not be surprised to see what Falken comes up with next :) This is really not a stand alone book so please read books 1 and 2 first! An excellent tale There may be more tales from the bird-man. But if this is the end of the road, it was a nice one to travel. Falken goes back in to Oz to help his old friend as he reconciles with his past. But can Sef show remorse for a crime in which he believes he's innocent? Of Re-read Quality! I have read all of his books and can only wait for the next. They have all been of exceptional quality which cannot be said for far too many offerings lately. Put him on your automatic buy list. You will not be disappointed. Great read! Piers is a solid writer. I'm only on book 2 of the series, but previously read the Rath series which is why I bought these. Good story, interesting characters, easy read, perfect for the beach. I am looking forward to his next series! very well done Very well done. I thoroughly enjoyed all three books

Members Reviews: Good Story, Choppy Narration Received a free book offer from the author. I enjoyed the story very much. However the narrator spoke with a choppy forced method causing a slight distraction from the critical moments of the story. Looking forward to getting the next book in the series. omg soo exciting!!! I looved it!!! packed full of action. it was intense at times. oh man, that ending totally took me by surprise!!! I'll be getting the next book for sure. I'm so glad I found this one. highly recommend Great book Story is great. Love the end twist. My only disappointment was the narrator who was a little monotone for my tastes.

Title: Amerita Author: Martin Medina, Luke Medina Narrator: Kathleen A McLean Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 45 mins Language: English Release date: 06-13-17 Publisher: Kathleen A McLean Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 10 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: Year 2051 - World War III left America in dystopian economic ruin. Support for the Democrat and Republican parties has dwindled, and the Meritism Party has gained unwavering support from 70 percent of the populace. Currency has been replaced with Personal Merit. The goods and services citizens are allowed to possess are dependent on their objectively calculated productivity within the society. Careers that do not contribute to food, shelter, clothing, sanitation, education, health care, technology, art, or sport have been abolished. These abolished professions include investment banking, marketing and advertising, career politicians, and many others that were dependent on capitalism. Luke Medina, a Merit Agency Investigator, fights to uphold all that Meritism has accomplished. The Capitalist Party desperately conspires to bring back class divisions and a society of economic inequality based on a fiat currency. #amerita #meritism For the working class, Amerita represents a new utopia. For others, Amerita is a dystopian nightmare. Meritism manifesto: We, the working women and men of our beautiful and plentiful land, declare in one voice to revoke all credence to economical systems based on subjective monetary representations of individual Merit. We, the contributors of food, shelter, clothing, sanitation, education, health care, technology, art, and sport declare our vocations as necessary for advancing society. Vocations that do not contribute to the advancing of society are deemed not worthy of recognition. We, the laborers, believe the productivity of every valid vocation is objectively and accurately measurable. We, the mentors and parents of future generations, believe in equal education, equal nutrition, equal health care, and equal opportunity for all. We, the people of the new Meritocracy, declare objective recognition of Merit for all. Members Reviews: Entertaining; explores "meritocracy"; advanced YA What did you like best about this story? It realistically, although a smidge simplistically, portrayed how people might react if the US were to change to an actual meritocracy. Now I want a prequel and a sequel This was a fun listen on my commute this week. I enjoyed the story and the concept. I love other people's idea of how they envision the future. It really makes you question whether or not this is a society you would want to live in. It left me wanting to find out what happened before and after this story takes place. Will listen to more from this author. Nothing but another dose of SJW crap What would have made Amerita better? If the storyline wasn't about shoving social justice -- and incorrect history of the US.The "history" used is not true history, it is the SJW rewrite of history.. I tried to get to the end.. got to an hour left, and that was it.. I couldn't take it anymore.. Based on the description, it looked to me like a book about capitalism being suppressed, a dysfunctional society emerges, then capitalism prevails. The society the book is espousing is not a society that will or can work, yet the author(s) push it like it is, and it's a fair society.. without pointing out any flaws... What aspect of Kathleen A McLeans performance would you have changed? Don't know.. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Anger. Pure anger.

When an FBI agent learns the truth, will she arrest him or recruit him? Spamming inboxes provides Baxter Cruise with easy college money after his parents die. But when he trips over the corpse of a murdered professor, his cozy world explodes. Avoiding the police, Baxter's professor friend, goes on the run. Is he afraid? Or was he the hitman? When a student asks Baxter for help on a project, Baxter finds out that his friend was working for the cartel. Drug running isn't in the same league as spam, but unless Baxter agrees to finish the project, they'll kill him. While an FBI agent hunts the professor's brutal assassin, every angle of her investigation points to Baxter. He's hiding something, but he's in too deep to trust her with the truth. The cartel needs Baxter's robotics expertise for a single lethal project. After that, there's no reason to keep him alive. Kidnapped from his ivory tower to work on weapons of destruction, he just wants to go home. It's not Baxter's war. But he's the only one who can stop it. Recommended listening order: All of my thrillers race through the same story world, so characters from one series may appear in the others. You can listen by series or by the order of publication. The Masters CIA Thriller Series: -3 Lies -The Masters' Key-Dead Storm The Cruise FBI Thriller Series: The Fender Hacker Thriller Series: Members Reviews: Complicated But Interesting I was given a copy of this book in return for an honest and unbiased review. Talk about complicated characters! Baxter Cruise is a student of robotics, paying his way through school with his spamming business, not a pure hero. His teacher is not a wonderful person either, but when the teacher goes missing, Baxter looks for him and winds up in a dangerous world. It was quite an interesting technological adventure and I am looking forward to other books in the series. Patrick Nolan was excellent with the delivery of the story Great Thriller! I was pulled into this book from the very beginning. I really enjoyed how fast paced this story was. Although the characters were not perfect, they were endearing. This book is a standalone listen, yet it is listed as part of a series. My review is not a synopsis of the book, but rather my opinion of it. I leave it up to the professionals to write the synopsis as they are much more eloquent. I was voluntarily provided with this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator. Regarding the narrator, I thought that Patrick Nolan did an excellent performance was able to put so much emotion and tension into the book that one would not get just reading it. This was the first book by either author or narrator that I have listened to, and I will look for more by them as both are very talented. So glad I took the chance I typically don't read or listen to books like this but the summary peaked my interest so I decided to give it a try. I am so glad that I did. I enjoyed every twist and turn. The narrator did a good job. I was provided this title for free in exchange for an unbiased review. Engaging thriller Would you listen to Ocean of Fear again? Why? Yes! I loved the story and the characters.

What could go wrong? Clever and ruthless terrorists want it at any cost. A high-stakes cat and mouse game ensues with apocalyptic danger at every turn. Follow Sam Sunborn as he teams up with a real Einstein to give birth to an invention that could change the lives of everyone on the planet forever. Sam wants to help people through his invention, but lands up having to defend it and his family from the Leopard, a driven and demented terrorist, whose mission is to rein chaos and destruction on the Western World. Using the latest technology and a battle of wills and wits, Sunborn and the Leopard engage in an epic global clash. What disasters befall the innocent in the Leopard's wake? Can Michelle Hadar, a lowly grad student, and Rich Little, a talented Homeland Agent, possibly come to the rescue? Mysteries and surprises abound in this fast-paced thriller. Charlie's 20 year background in tech, degree in philosophy and love of fast-paced thrillers are the brew that created Not So Dead. He lives in New Jersey with his wife, Amy, and has two sons, too far away in California. Members Reviews: the characters all fully developed and detailed Sam Sunborn is a quirky nerdy techno guy who, along with members of his team, comes up with digitizing personalities of people. Why? Well, when we lose a loved one isnt it better to have some form of them present than nothing at all? And what could that hurt anyway? It would provide thousands of children, parents, friends and more with an everlasting connection to the deceased. Perfectly harmless and helpful that is until terrorists become involved. The Leopard is a terrorist; hes always one step ahead of Sunborn and the team of US agents representing all the secret agencies. Sam along with digitalized Frank Einstein and Rich Little of Homeland Security go toe to toe with this dangerous and demented terrorist, fighting to protect the US and their allies. With help from an unlikely person, Sam and The Leopard come face to face with only one winning. This was one of those solid thrillers with the characters all fully developed and detailed giving the listener the illusion that everything was transparent however, the twists and turns in this book will leave you sitting there wondering what the heck just happened! Then youre like OMG no freaking way . Charles Levin crafted a unique story that draws in the listeners completely. Work and bedtime and other activities made stopping the book difficult for me I wanted to keep listening. Levin is a storyteller that plays his audience like a violin he knows just the words to keep you interested and keep the book moving forward at its breakneck pace of action. I see the potential for more and I hope he doesnt disappoint. The narrator, Daniel Greenberg, performed the book very well. Each of his character voices was unique and specific. The voice he had for The Leopard was perfect as was the rest but The Leopards stands out. He got the better than thou attitude and self-appointed doomsayer perfect! This is a good book for anyone interested in thrillers, espionage, and sci-fi. Theres a little bit of everything in this book! Audiobook was provided for review by the author.

Title: The Ridiculously Simple Survival Book Author: Ron Foster Narrator: Dennis Adkinson Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 11-06-17 Publisher: Ronald Foster Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: Terrorists have taken down America's electrical grid in the simplest way possible, they shot holes in it. The same as they had previously tried on the Silicon Valley in 2013 that most people in the know said was a trial run to destroy America. The attack, which nearly took out power to parts of Silicon Valley, has been called "the most significant incident of domestic terrorism involving the grid that has ever occurred" by the nation's top electrical utility regulator. The destruction continues and mayhem ensues as hackers use cyber-attacks to further destabilize the world and take down the nation's infrastructure. Joe and Mary are just common citizens caught up in the chaos with their two teen age kids as society collapses. They don't have a clue how to survive the famine and the violence ahead except for a very brief survival manual a prepper friend gave them that has been languishing with the rest of the unwanted Christmas gifts of years past. Could this small text containing nothing more than basic preparedness advice be their salvation? As terrorists both foreign and domestic play cops and robbers with the authorities by using snipers and small team military style raids against water, power and gas, the family reads what they should do to survive with no supplies. The government says the lights will be back on in eight weeks, but eight weeks of no food and water in the big cities will tip the scales toward eternity as the grim reaper sharpens his scythe. Millions will die by famine, disease and violence, the Jones family says, not them, but wish they had bought a gun before now. Members Reviews: A great little novella on Survival and Preparedness! A+++ I've enjoyed Mr. Foster's work for years now, and this little novella is another great release. I always walk away from the read with some little tidbit of information or two that I hadn't yet fully considered or investigated. Great job, and keep up the good work! Good read from the start Something I usually don't think about in making Prep's, just how under prepared most people are. It is hard to imagine that some of the most basic of survival skills can't be done by so many people. Mr Foster has a great way of telling stories that also teach basic and more skills to survive when you have no skills at all. Good read every body should read this and his other books Well Well,I had high hopes when I first started this book . I even wondered if it was actually written by Mr Foster because the language and writing was so good. It was like his real education was coming out or he may have had someone else writing for him. But then after several chapters there was the author I was use to. Makes me wonder about two different ones writing it. It seems like an unfinished book to me. It just stops in the middle of the story. Five Stars All of Ron Foster's books are great reads and very useful information

The Forty-Minute War Audiobook by Janet Morris, Chris Morris

Title: The Forty-Minute War Author: Janet Morris, Chris Morris Narrator: Tim Welch Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 12-12-16 Publisher: Perseid Press Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 10 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: Janet Morris and Chris Morris are the creators of numerous novels, stories, and works of nonfiction, as well as the editors of the Heroes in Hell series, winner of the Hugo Award. Janet is the only science fiction writer invited to participate in the Rolex fiction program, Chris is an accomplished singer-songwriter and narrator, and the Morrises are widely known for their nonfiction work on national security topics such as nonlethal weapons and Russian technology as well as their fiction and music. The Morrises' joint fiction novels include The Forty-Minute War, The Sacred Band, and The Fish the Fighters. Critic Reviews: "After Washington, D.C. is vaporized by a nuclear surface blast, Marc Beck, wonder boy of the American foreign service, prevails on Ashmead, covert action chief, to help him fly two batches of anticancer serum from Israel to the Houston White House. From the moment they establish their gritty relationship, life is filled with treachery and terror for Beck, who must deal with one cliffhanger after another during the desperate days that follow. This novel shocks us with a sudden, satisfying ending." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Prophetic in a particularly eerie way Any additional comments? Here is a thriller that not only has no dull moment but is also prophetic in a particularly eerie way. The writers-Janet Morris and Christopher Crosby Morris-wrote this back in 1984 (a year that to me signifies a projection into the future, because of the dystopian novel by English author George Orwell, which was published about forty years before.) In the not too far past in history, we had the Hundred Years War; then the Six Day War; and now a war is fought within Forty Minutes. Here, the writers bring us right into the cockpit of a plane as a takeover is underway, a takeover that in many ways, seems to project into the events of 9/11. Tim Welch, the versatile narrator chosen for this project, has two dozen titles for sale in a number of different genres on Audible. Being a public speaking professor at the State University of New York speaks to the depth of his experience. He breathes life into each one of the characters in this suspenseful Political-military context. I felt as if I am standing right behind the group of Arab terrorists, tongue-tied, praying for my life and for the survival of everyone onboard, wishing the pilots may prevail, somehow, and outsmart the Arab terrorists and prevent calamity. The action, and the complex contrasts between cowardice, heroism, overcoming fear, and a willingness to sacrifice for saving others. All these emotions come alive through Tims interpretation. He does the story justice. Five stars I received the audiobook edition as a gift, in exchange for an honest review. An interesting take on what could happen "The Forty-Minute War" gives a amazing description of what could possibly happen in the event of a Nuclear battle. The story gives viewpoints on both ends of the spectrum. Briefly mentioned in the beginning of the book, Janet and Chris Morris do an amazing job at describing what is going through the Arab terrorists heads before the Nuclear detonation above the Whitehouse, rather than looking at the group as a lifeless enemy. They do this as well as giving the general American perspective which is widespread panic as expected. This book differs greatly from other war novels that I have read.

When they come into possession of a mysterious prehistoric cube, relic hunter Gabriel Parker, and the alluring artifact historian Natasha Rossi, find themselves inexplicably bound to a dark mythology dating back to the roots of civilization. Throughout history, the long-lost cube has been sought after by emperors, popes, and caliphs alike. It is believed to be a container of knowledge; a holy vessel capable of emancipating humanity from the confines of earthly mortality. Now that it has been found, demonic forces are surfacing to destroy it. Their presence marks the return of a potent nefarious entity that once reigned supreme in Earth's distant reptilian past. Under the apocalyptic shadow of global unrest and rampant natural disasters, Gabriel and Natasha battle to prevent this sinister blight from being unleashed. With nothing but a tattered journal to guide them, they race from Italy to Morocco, and finally to the mountains of Northern Spain where they must locate a Lost Labyrinth spoken of by the ancients. There, deep in a Sacred Chamber, they will find salvation for mankind, but not without a price. A cosmic clock is ticking. It marks the world's entry into the oblivion of the Dark Rift, and the final days that remain. Members Reviews: AWESOME STORY AND EXCELLENT AUDIO PRESENTATION Wonderful story!

Killer Thrillers Box Set Audiobook by Nick Thacker

Title: Killer Thrillers Box Set Subtitle: 3 Techno-Thriller, Action/Adventure Science Fiction Thrillers Author: Nick Thacker Narrator: Mike Vendetti Format: Unabridged Length: 27 hrs and 21 mins Language: English Release date: 12-05-16 Publisher: Turtleshell Press Ratings: 2 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: This omnibus box set includes three standalone thrillers that are a great introduction to Nick Thacker's other books. Combining sci/fi thrills with action/adventure, Thacker's books have been described as National Treasure meets Indiana Jones and Jurassic Park meets Leviathan Wakes. For fans of James Rollins, these books are perfect! In 1791, two men began planning the layout for the nation's capitol city. One is shunned and resigns in disgrace, and the other is all but forgotten. Years later, an original copy of the plans - long thought to have been destroyed - is found, with hastily marked notations by Thomas Jefferson and George Washington. During the second World War, American military scientists discover some fascinating properties of the hydrogen atom and its link to an ancient mystical number. The exact findings are never published, but a national laboratory is built in 1943 to further their research in covert silence. America is told it is a defense project, code-named The Manhattan Project. An ego-maniacal entrepreneur and his company, Vilocorp, will stop at nothing to build the perfect human specimen. His firm's research has been getting closer every day, but they seem to have uncovered a horrific, ancient secret that has been locked away for thousands of years. Members Reviews: Three Great Stories, forcing a cant put down book on the reader The Golden Crystal. Great Book. Suspense and mystery throughout. A mixture of good and bad protagonists leading the reader to delve into mystery after mystery. . The Depths. Great a Story. A city 5 miles under the Atlantiv Ocean. Is it possible? Can it sustain life? What it the reason for it being there's? How does one access the depths to reach the city? How does this "city" sustain itself? The Enigma Strain. Yellowstone National Park, the center of a CDC mystery thriller, spanning hundreds of years. Russian soldiers driving deep inton North Americas frozen north, only to die from an unknown disease. Sorry I can not believe that finishing these three books was so difficult. I would stop and read a different book from my library then start again on the Killer Thrillers. This went on for far too long but sadly I finished just so that I could say this. Beware ! Glad I bought the set I usually don't buy book sets when i don't know the author. I'm so glad i took a chance and bought the set. I loved all three of the books. Hooked me at the beginning and kept me interested right to the end. If you like action and adventure then you will love this set! Interesting.... I liked the plot, but it didnât flow that well for me. Honestly I thought Iâd just stop reading it, but kept coming back to see how it would end! Guess that says enough! All three were excellent. The subject matter and presentation kept the stories moving and hard to put down. The heroes and Gaines heroines were well written and you quickly went with them on their journey. My only problem was coming upon some sentences that were very awkward like the stories were originally written in another language and then translated to English. This was not enough to interfere with the stories and could be easily corrected with a good proofreading.

Spheria Audiobook by Cody Leet

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/91/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Spheria Author: Cody Leet Narrator: James Highfield Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 11-14-17 Publisher: No Trees Harmed, LLC Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: With her new internship, Min enters the scene of a major breakthrough in quantum computing: the virtual world of Spheria, home to sentient inhabitants. As these Polyans explore their habitat, the research team has a unique opportunity to observe their society's development. Anthropology and artificial intelligence will never be the same. But Min soon uncovers evidence of a sinister secret. As overseers of a new species, some on the team can't resist the temptation to play God. Others are tempted by the vast computing power behind Spheria and want to turn its quantum engine towards their own ends. If Min knows too much, what seems like the opportunity of a lifetime might just end it prematurely. Like the Polyans, though, she might find the lure of new knowledge too strong to resist. This techno-thriller explores the lines of good and evil on many layers of reality, through science and mythology, between discipline and betrayal, from the human mind to the Polyan core. Members Reviews: Intriguing concept, often thought provoking. This book has a nice raw feeling to it, like listening to a garage band with something to say. It's not polished---character interactions can feel a bit unnatural and overwritten. The conceptual ideas here are solid, however, and intriguing. The Polyan race is unique, believable, and I found myself growing quite attached to them. This book does a nice job too of exploring the origins of âgood and evil.â Good stuff, Cody. Thanks for making and sharing this. Interesting premise, poor writing. Wanted to like it, but.... not. Premise is interesting, but the actual plot is not. The writing itself is dull, the main characters are shallow, a couple of minor characters appear for no apparent reason, and descriptions of some of the imagery are nearly incoherent. The contrast in writing quality between this book and, for example, Erin Morgenstern's Night Circus, or Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels, could not be more extreme. A Fascinating Exploration of Life in different forms. Having finally read Dragon's Egg by Robert Forward, I was intrigued by the premise of Spheria. It certainly resembles a digital-age version of that earlier novel, yet throws in a few surprises of it's own. I was engaged from start to finish as it bounced back and forth between two parallel stories, each seemingly independent yet revealing uncomfortable similarities. It also demonstrates how even the best intentions can result in dramatic, even catastrophic changes to individuals and even whole societies. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys coding, science fiction, or simply a good story. Good story Great story line, excellent development, really excellent depiction of artificial intelligence. Sexual activity depiction modest and not really needed. Danger to primary characters was thrilling. Parallel story lines was well done and engaging. Fascinating Thoroughly enjoyed Spheria. Author made the main characters a bit extra geeky, but it did not detract from the story. Come to think of it, they were geeky. Story could have gone on somewhat longer, but that mostly shows how I enjoyed the book.

Title: Blackout Subtitle: Strike Point, (Volume 1) Author: Emerson Hawk Narrator: Kevin Pierce Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 05-26-16 Publisher: Emerson Hawk Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 74 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: "If tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy." - James Madison There were many that said it would happen. No one listened. Was it true that ISIS set off multiple EMP's across the USA, taking out the entire power grid? Or was that just a cover up? John and Laura Monroe are stuck on a train that has come to its final stop 150 miles from home. With no communications, and strange storms taking over the skies, every decision they make could be the difference between life or death. Members Reviews: Post apocalyptic sub genre at its best I have recently discovered another sub genre of the post apocalypse. The EMP post apocalypse, instead of zombies, plagues, nuclear war etc. it is quite unique and interesting and this one does not disappoint. Well written, well researched, great little prepper tips on how to make and do things without the aid of manufacturing power of big industry, farming, tech etc. it has the obligatory power hungry military, roving gangs, isolated farms and your classic small hero group. Thoroughly enjoyed. I received this audiobook from the author narrator or publisher for free via audiobookboom in exchange for an unbiased review Blackout,Strikepoint 1 LOVED this book!Kevin pierce was a great narrator.A couple are on a train when the emp hits.Actually it hits many places.Then the tornadoes come.Three survive to walk miles for help that was never coming.After a night with a kindly farmer they head to the prison which has become a refuge WAY too fast.Someone knew what was coming.It is too bad the crazies are in charge.I cant wait to get book 2! I was given this book free for an honest review A new twist on the EMP storyline As usual I follow Kevin's narrating work which Lead me to this book. I was very pleased with the storyline as it added a new twist to a storyline that is getting quickly worn out. I wish it had been a bit longer but the download was well Worth the price. Thanks to the author And I will be waiting for more in this series. Oh a note to the author, your main character probably was very humanistic and foulable not the typical Suoer human types you see so much In this genre. Thanks for that as we are not all perfect. The government seemed a little too ready A short intro into what could happen if an EMP went off over the Midwest. Conspiracy theories always ran deep in those individuals who thought this day would come, but they couldnt even begin to imagine what would come next. The narration for Strike Point Blackout was done by the prepper/post-apocalyptic voice himself, Kevin Pierce. Pierce does a wonderful job bringing life to these characters, especially the main character John. Pierce just has one of those manly everything will be okay kinds of voices. Even when the characters are going through hell, Pierces smooth voice makes you feel like they will make it out. I knew going into it at in between 3 and 4 hours long that Blackout wasnt going to be a full in depth story about the attack or the people who survived it. But, there still was some character development and some nice plot movement too. The reader will definitely have questions, but Hawk answered more than I was expecting in this intro book. Honestly, I usually give Part 1 type books a bad wrap on here because I really hate when someone breaks a story up into small pieces, but this was really nice.

Supersymmetry Audiobook by David Walton

bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (David Walton) — Tue, 01 Sep 2015 14:38:07 GMT

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/91/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Supersymmetry Author: David Walton Narrator: L. J. Ganser Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 09-01-15 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 21 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: Ryan Oronzi is a paranoid, neurotic, and brilliant physicist who has developed a quantum military technology that could make soldiers nearly invincible in the field. The technology, however, gives power to the quantum creature known as the varcolac, which slowly begins to manipulate Dr. Oronzi and take over his mind. Oronzi eventually becomes the unwilling pawn of the varcolac in its bid to control the world. The creature immediately starts attacking those responsible for defeating it 15 years earlier, including Sandra and Alex Kelley - the two versions of Alessandra Kelley who are still living as separate people. The two young women must fight the varcolac despite the fact that defeating it may mean resolving once again into a single person. Members Reviews: This was pretty good This was pretty good, it didn't have the murder mystery element that the first book had which made it really cool. As Much Fun As The First Supersymmetry is a great followup to Superposition. In my review of Superposition I pointed out one of the great character moments for Jacob Kelly was his connection with his teenage daughter Alessandra. In Supersymmetry we leave Jacob behind and follow his, now twin, daughters, Alex and Sandra, as they try to solve the mystery of an imploded stadium and battle the varcolac again. I really liked all of the primary characters. Alex and Sandra, who are the same person split by contact with the varcolac in the first book, are so similar and yet Walton does a good job of diverging them and showing how much a person can change in 15 years. Angel, the robotics geek who helps Sandra out with the stadium disaster investigation, is perhaps the first book-crush I've had in a long time. Ryan Oronzi, the scientist who "rediscovered" Higgs projector technology, is misguided and arrogant in a very believable way. My one criticism holds over from last book, the villain (not the varcolac) was too evil for my tastes. It's hard to know how cackling-madperson they would have come across in print, but in audiobook they were maniacal. The pace remained brisk, the science remained interesting. Walton tackles a host of topics including Last Tuesdayism, multiverses, black holes, and time travel. And like last time all of the science is explained in an accessible way, making this perfect for casual lovers of science. I will almost certainly pick up future books by David Walton.

Weapons of Mass Deception Audiobook by David Bruns, J.R. Olson

Title: Weapons of Mass Deception Subtitle: The WMD Files, Book 1 Author: David Bruns, J.R. Olson Narrator: Clay Lomakayu Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 53 mins Language: English Release date: 06-02-16 Publisher: David Bruns, J.R. Olson Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: A Novel of Modern-Day Nuclear Terrorism Patriot Games meets The Fourth Protocol in this riveting story of modern-day nuclear terrorism. In 2003, the world watched as coalition forces toppled Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, then searched - unsuccessfully - for the weapons of mass destruction they were certain existed. None were ever found, but they do exist. On the eve of the invasion, a handful of nuclear weapons was smuggled out of Iraq and hidden in the most unlikely of places - Iran. Now, as the threat of WMDs fades into a late-night punch line, a shadowy Iranian faction waits for the perfect moment to unleash Saddam Hussein's nuclear legacy on the West. Brendan McHugh, a Navy SEAL, meets a mysterious Iranian diplomat on a raid in Iraq. His former girlfriend and FBI linguist discovers a link to Iran among a group of captured jihadis. And pulling it all together is a CIA analyst who can't forget about Saddam Hussein's WMD - even if it costs him his career. Members Reviews: Riveting, mesmerizing, excellent thriller. Crisp, well written thriller. Fast paced, page turner that keeps you guessing all the way through. Shades of Tom Clancy, but MUCH better in weaving a thriller that touches on Rogue States, government secrets, military heroism and relationships between the U.S. and other countries secret agencies. Further, it addresses, in a strikingly plausible manner, the patience of a terrorist and his organization that has taken years to reach fruition. Mesmerizing, up to date and hopefully fictional. I would hate to think this could actually happen. Tight, gripping, plausible Interestingly, as I was reading progressive chapters of this ebook on a daily basis, during my daily commute I was separately listening to a Clancy audiobook and then after that a Flynn audiobook. The fact that I had to occasionally reorient because the flow, style, and plot lines were so similarly well-crafted that I was entangling the three mentally speaks very highly for the authors here. Having previously read and been thrilled by Bruns' science fiction ventures and knowing Bruns and Olson's specific backgrounds, I was eagerly awaiting the release of this work and it exceeded my expectations. Pacing, suspense, storyline, and characters all "pop" in a story that so perfectly matches headlines that it compels the classic page turning impulse that drives us all to savor this artform. Please, Mrs. Bruns and Olson, continue. It's a joy to partake. Intelligent and Entertaining. 4.5 Stars Let me start off by saying that I typically don't read much aside from my chosen genres. As part of a foray into broadening my literary horizons, I read Weapons of Mass Deception: A Novel of Nuclear Terrorism. Being a military thriller, I knew little of what to expect aside from the obvious imagery the title and description allowed. I was in for a pleasant surprise. To say that this book is well-written undermines the importance of the supposed happenings built on and around what we know and what we don't regarding the topic of WMD. It is, of course, fiction - but it's not just well-written. It is intelligently written fiction. The initial scene sets the tone for future happenings and provides a convincing background for the story to build upon.

Kearney Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones." Albert Einstein's warning ricochets inside Robert Goodfellow's thoughts as he races to stop the cyber and robotic murders of American and Russian leaders propelling the United States and Russia into war. Part-time cyber-warrior and conflict-avoiding cerebral soldier, Robert has been ordered to locate and protect Pion, the autistic, cyber-savant US officials believe is their best, and maybe only, chance to prevent catastrophe. Reluctantly joining him in his quest is Mugavus Komfort, a female partner from his past. From the highly advanced, newly independent State of SPEA to the ancient African nation of Ethiopia, Robert and Mugavus battle their way through a near-future, dystopian world ravaged by the endless fire of climate change, chaos and conflict. US and Russian assassins, predator robots, terrorists, and rebels surround and imperil Robert and Mugavus as they struggle to save the world from itself. It's a race against time. In the end will they be too late? Members Reviews: Exciting Where does Future Furies rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? I really thought the premise of ENDLESS FIRE was well thought out and had a basis in fact of what could happen in our fragile world. The characters in the story were real and well played. What other book might you compare Future Furies to and why? This was really unlike any other story I have read or listened to. What does Angelo Di Loreto bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? I like reading a book but with audio book can be experienced while you are driving or be involved with other tasks while listening to the story. I liked Angelo Di Loreto's inflection and voice in the reading of the book. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? The thirsty world? Not sure of that. Any additional comments? I really loved the book and felt the author had a great story line and all aspects were well constructed and written. The first fury Great book. A well written story of a group of people thrust together by a variety of circumstances, winding their way through twists and turns trying to save a friend, and ultimately-possibly the world. It taps into the future problems the world may face and tugs at the economic morality of the reader. The set up is a little tough to get through as the author presents the acronyms and ideas that he would like to explore, but is a fast read once that has been completed. The US of A isn't exactly a shining star in this story and it's character was set up to make you want to scream, but the events and predictions of this book are interesting and unique. Intelligent read. Totally recommend.

Title: Uncommon Stock: Exit Strategy Subtitle: The Uncommon Series, Book 3 Author: Eliot Peper Narrator: Jennifer O'Donnell Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 24 mins Language: English Release date: 08-31-16 Publisher: Eliot Peper Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: The final book in The Uncommon Series, the best-selling tech startup thriller trilogy. Mara Winkel is America's tech darling, CEO of the fastest-growing startup in the world. Her company, Mozaik, fights financial fraud with its revolutionary software and is hurtling towards a record-breaking IPO. But just as Mara and her team prepare for the ultimate success, the dark forces that have haunted them since the beginning move in for the kill. Will they free themselves and achieve their dream or be forever consigned to the shackles of criminal conspiracy on a global scale? The final book in The Uncommon Series is a frenetic pause-resister packed with relentless ambition, shadowy intrigue, and deadly brilliance. Members Reviews: An insiders view of the darker side of start ups The final book in the Uncommon Stock series, Exit Strategy leaves nothing in the tank. Action packed from the beginning as Mozaik fights to stay afloat and tries to bring down the biggest money laundering schemes in the world. Jennifer O'Donnell narrates Exit Strategy and is perfect for the role. She narrated the other two novels in this series and getting her back for all three was a great idea. She really became Mara to the point where if I were to read this book instead of listening to it on audio, I would still hear it in her voice. The production quality was perfect and you couldn't ask for a better narrator for this series. You can definitely tell that Peper has been a part of a few start up's in his day. The inside knowledge and familiarity of start up's with their super high highs and incredibly low low's is evident on every page of all three books in this series. This intimacy with the topic makes each page bleed with realism and authenticity. All three books in this series made me feel like I actually lived through what everyone within its pages lived through. Exit Strategy is the third book in the Uncommon Stock series, and honestly, it felt like he really finished with a bang. Peper saved a lot of the action for this book. Mara is the perfect main character for these books. She's unique in more ways than one. She's a multi-dimensional character that some authors dream of thinking up. I do not want to give anything away, but I can tell you this. If you have read the other two books in this series, you HAVE to read this one. It really gives a feeling of closure and ties a lot of the loose ends up. Overall, Exit Strategy just felt perfect to me. I give a good amount of 5 stars out because if a book can make me feel something, it's at least a 4. If a book can make me forget that there are real-life things going on around me, it's an instant 5. Peper's writing style and familiarity with the topic make this series an incredible one. I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest and unbiased opinion. The gifting of the book has not swayed my reviews in any way. A fireworks finale to a great trilogy Bigger stakes. Bigger thrill. Page turner. These words don't begin to give justice to Eliot Peper's awesome finale. If you read the first two, you will not be able to stop reading this exciting conclusion.

I have to admit I was a little hesitant to pick this one up because I do not know much about hacking and coding but I sure am glad I did. The premise is fantastic and who doesn't love a great treasure hunt. Let's just say the pot of gold at the end of the hunt is quite interesting. The main character is really well developed and carries just enough sass to be a really realistic 17 year old. The cast of characters fit together nicely and really add to the story. The plot and landscapes are well described and suck you right in. The narrating performance is fantastic. The sass, voices and English accents are superb. The tone, quality of the production is top notch. I cannot wait to see where the adventures take us in the second book of the series. Pick this one up and you are in for a cross Atlantic treasure hunt. Crash Alive Which scene was your favorite? It is an interesting tale around internet espionage and computers with a happy ending. I enjoyed listening to this audiobook. A high-tech DaVinci Code Crash Alive is a story about an amateur high school hacker who seems to get in over her head once she realizes that her brother has been trying to solve a seemingly unsolvable internet puzzle. What comes next will lead Haylie on a high-stakes adventure and uncover a sinister plot. The narration for Crash Alive was done by Amanda Dolan who is perfect. I read a short interview on Kerns' website with her and I can definitely see why he picked her. It just worked perfectly. Dolan had the right edge to her voice that allowed her to become Crash. The cover of this book is really awesome. I know, I know, don't judge a book by its cover -- but who really does that. I also dabble in design having designed a few covers myself. The cover for Crash Alive is perfect. Crash Alive was a really well-done technothriller. There was the perfect amount of action mixed in with a lot of other interesting parts. Kerns writes like a seasoned pro. Jumping from a slow paced library scene into a high-stakes chase scene. It was really well done. As my title suggest, Chris Kerns writing style reminded me a lot of Dan Brown. Crash Alive felt like a high-tech version of The DaVinci Code. With puzzles, secret societies, and dark, sinister plots. Overall, Crash Alive was incredibly enjoyable. It was one of those books that the pages just flew by. I couldn't believe that I was almost finished with it when I checked on it last night. I wanted to be up for another 11 minutes or so with 45 minutes left in the book.

After her talents earn her admission into a secretive university institute, she is swiftly drawn into a conspiracy more than a century in the making. Meanwhile, and without her knowledge, her cousin Dean wages a two-fisted war of vengeance against a villainous genius and his unwashed minions. Separately, the cousins must pit themselves against murderous thugs, experimental weaponry, lizard monsters, and a nefarious doomsday device. When their paths finally meet up, they will need to risk everything to prevent a mysterious technology from bringing civilization to a sudden and very messy end. Members Reviews: Narrator Robert Macfadden Drags Story Through Mud Narrator Robert Macfadden and Publisher Siege Tower Entertainment have completely destroyed what should have been an enjoyable listening experience of a fun story. It sounds as if Macfadden has never had vocal performance training. While he certainly has a nice sounding voice, it is painfully clear that he has had no coaching on proper performance tone or inflection. There does not seem to have been any editing done on Macfadden's reading. He can be heard coughing, correcting himself, starting sentences over and even making wet sounds which was quite uncomfortable to hear. Theses editing mistakes were only made during Macfadden's parts. As the audience, it was truly very frustrating to listen to. I have only made it through roughly one third of the story. If it were not for the author's engaging story premise and the other narrator, Jennifer Knighton carrying the performance, I would not have been able to make it this far. I am very disappointed. I do not believe I will be able to finish listening to this story. However, like I said, the story itself is very engaging. I love that a young female engineering enthusiast is the star of the story. I am always seeking fun adventure stories with strong and smart female leads. Especially ones that do not have the female spending the majority of the story self-consciously pining over a guy. I CRAVE adventure stories with strong female leads. I will be picking up the book to finish this story. a resounding meh. I found the story to be very lackluster, the "surprises" were anything but, and the male narrator wasn't all that great. There were some interesting ideas that were shown to us and then nothing was ever done with. The most unprofessional audio book ever I started this book wanting to like it. It had solid reviews it seemed. It sounded like a book I would like. However this time a book with 60 ish reviews all positive failed to deliver. This will put all the other reviews into question. I found a book full of pseudoscience, wrong science, and an author who felt the need to bludgeon an explanation of his one bag trick (the EMP) into the readers heads every few paragraphs. He also manages to get the explanation and expect results and uses of this idea wrong. The Characters were flat with little growth. The stereotypes were awful and grinding. There is a firefighter who can't manage to even "log" into a computer and from the struggles I have to wonder if the author has had the same issues. The book itself earned a two stars on this. The version I read was the audio book.

Hundreds die in a fiery train crash in northern China. A cargo ship smuggling refugees is lost to calm seas off the Libyan coast. Entire villages in Ghana are abandoned overnight. Contracted by an apocalypse prepper group to investigate a series of seemingly disconnected global tragedies, a young medical investigative reporter, Angelique de l'Enfantine, uncovers a disturbing pattern to the tragedies. Are they harbingers of an impending biblical catastrophe? Or practice runs by a fanatical organization bent on global annihilation? Members Reviews: Loved it! Very intriguing story. I cant wait to read more of the stories in the Flense series! Thrilling first in a series. Thrilling first in a series that keeps you wondering what is going to happen next. I like the characters and can't wait to get the next book. There is a lot of violence, senseless death, and cruelity... so be warned. I Voluntarily reviewed this audiobook after receiving an advanced copy that I requested. Intrigue and deception, trust no one Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? If you like suspenseful stories about government cover-ups, black ops groups and more cover-ups then I recommend this story. It has it all What was one of the most memorable moments of China? The end scene was an eye opener for the main character, Angelique. Slightly disturbing and fast paced. Which scene was your favorite? The village scene when Angelique was waiting for the town to come back from the burial ceremony. You could feel the intensity and panic. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? See above. No Spoilers. Any additional comments? This is a long story, but worth it. Doug Greene did a very good job of narrating. The only issue I had with him was his voice being slightly staccato at times. It also sometimes lacked warmth when necessary. Overall a very good story. Promising story but a little slow at times. This is the first volume (really the first 3 volumes of what I believe is a 12 part story). I must admit there is plenty to like, interesting characters, a mysterious storyline, but at times it seemed a bit slow with chapters that didn't really seem to add to the story. But overall there is definitely more good than bad, and I'd really like to see where the story leads. This is the first time I've heard Doug Greene's narration and while he has a pretty good voice, he has a rather odd delivery style, with strange random pauses. I swear at times it reminded me of the bizarre way William Shatner paused while portraying Kirk on Star Trek. And as odd as it might sounds, I can't say I hated it, it made me laugh, though I'm fairly confident that wasn't his intention. Would I .......listen to him again? Yes, yes I would. AN ENJOYABLE LISTEN Filled with mystery & medical intrigue an enjoyable read/listen that makes you want to read more from

Title: Skyfall Author: Thomas Block Narrator: Thomas Block Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 45 mins Language: English Release date: 01-06-17 Publisher: Thomas Block Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 17 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: The international best-selling novel Skyfall is the story of a complex airline hijacking gone bad. Hidden aboard Flight 42 are terrorists who will force the aircraft to land in Communist China where a top-secret computer program will fall into Chinese hands. But the hijacking attempt is bungled and, with scores of passengers dead or wounded, the airliner's survivors desperately attempt to keep the airliner aloft. Meanwhile, a macabre deal is struck between the Chinese Ambassador and the US State Department to cover up all the mutually damaging evidence. Members Reviews: Plot twists and turns! There are numerous points in the story when I couldn't see what could possibly keep the story going. Yet Mr. Block was able to come up with a plausible solution each time. An I ncredible story that I didn't want to put down! Compelling International Flight! This riveting story keeps your interest at a high level wanting to see how the direction of the situation will change as time passes. A unique cast of characters, with some uncanny timing of events, dove together to make this International commercial flight a day classic. Only so much that can happen in one setting The book was ok, but I bet even the author had trouble keeping his interest with so much happening in the same location. Since I do not fly any more, I was looking forward to the book. I didn't quit flying because I am afraid of flying; I am afraid of crashing. Even if I did fly, I would never go to an airport and take off my shoes for anyone government leach for any reason. If everyone stopped flying for one week, that policy would be thrown out the door. Spoiler Alert (don't read this if you plan on listening to the book): The end where the widow of the deceased person and his mistress being friends is hard enough to believe; them becoming business partners makes the rest of the book lose creditability to me.

Rusty Mullins, ex-Secret Service, has never heard of the Singularity. He only knows that after the deadly challenges of his last job for security firm Prime Protection, he swore he'd stop risking his life on assignments. Then his good friend Ted Lewison, head of Prime Protection, asks him back for a routine mission guarding Chinese scientist Dr. Lisa Li and her seven-year-old nephew, Peter, and Mullins agrees. The conference on AI bringing Dr. Li to Washington, DC, is barely under way when a team of assassins storms the room. The carnage is great but Mullins saves Dr. Li and Peter while the attackers kill the two other AI experts, along with Lewison. His widow begs Mullins to uncover the power behind the group claiming credit for the assassinations. Is "Double H" homegrown, or part of a larger international conspiracy? Enter eccentric tech billionaire Robert Brentwood who requests Mullins continue to guard Dr. Li and Peter. Brentwood seeks the Singularity and believes Dr. Li holds the key. Mullins agrees in exchange for running his investigation through Brentwood's extraordinary computer resources. The quest leads him on an unexpected path from Naval Intelligence and the Oval Office to a secret research lab in the North Carolina mountains. No one can be trusted - the race for the Singularity is a global winner-takes-all contest. Yet, terrifyingly, a machine with capacity exceeding human intelligence can outstrip all controls while possessing no moral or ethical brakes. As the AI stakeholders go all out, Mullins must face his own singularity - the point of no return - when not just he but his family and Dr. Li's will become casualties in what amounts to war. Members Reviews: The Singularity Race The premise of this book is AI infiltrating and taking over the digital world was realistic and a bit scary. I love the protagonist Rusty and the other characters were developed well and relatable. It was very suspenseful at times and not easy to see how the ending would play out. Edge of your seat thrill ride This is another book I chose to listen to simply because of the narrator. The author is new to me no longer! I loved this book and plan to listen to everything else from this author asap; though, I plan to start with "The 13th Target" because I'm told that's where the main character in "The Singularity Race" made his debut. "The Singularity Race" is a fast paced, edge of your seat thrill ride that keeps you guessing. I was pulled in from the very first scene and couldn't put it down. Luckily, I started it on a Saturday night because I ended up staying up all night to listen straight through! Excellent book! The narration is fabulous, too! Eric Bryan Moore does an outstanding job giving each character a unique voice, even the female voices and child voices are perfect! Overall, its an awesome book with stellar narration that's most definitely worth a listen! I received a review copy at my request and voluntarily reviewed. AI is outthere Well this book was simply great.

Hoke Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 25 mins Language: English Release date: 07-13-16 Publisher: W. M. J. Kreucher Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 17 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: We rely on automation. Our cars parallel park themselves. The military uses unmanned aerial vehicles for surveillance. We can't go anywhere without our phones. Our lives are ripe for hacking. Not that anyone would. When a group of high school friends meet at their 45th reunion, they discuss the hypothetical. With all these wireless networks, could someone hack a military drone? Unknown to them, a Russian spy gets wind of their idle chatter and plans to put their idea to the test. Vasili Grigoriy Konstantinov commandeers a drone flying over Washington DC and terrorizes the National Mall with a low flyby. Then, things escalate. Members Reviews: Kreucher hits a home run Where does Drone rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? I have listened to many dozens of audiobooks, mostly in the car and mostly from authors I know well. This story ranks in the top echelon- the ones where when I get where I'm going I cant get out of the car until I finish it-or at least finish the chapter. If audio books could be 'page burners'-- this one would be on top. What was one of the most memorable moments of Drone? I admire authors who can sneak story elements in on the reader. Kreucher did this repeatedly- the 'read' was nearly a road hazard. What does Samuel E. Hoke bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Hoke's performance was well matched for the material. His distinction in voice between characters and his talented facility with eastern European dialects added significantly to the experience. At one point he scans a 'menu' of vodkas which, had I been reading, Im sure I would have scanned and not tried to articulate Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I sat in the car in front of my hotel at the end of a trip and finished it. that says it all! Any additional comments? Kreucher's masterful character development, imaginative plots and world-class pacing made this his best effort to date. This one captures the 'audience' early and hold them captive all the way to the end. 5 stars. action packed and suspenseful I highly recommended this one for true action fans interested in political thrillers.. lots to love . very well written and wonderful narration.. This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review courtesy of AudiobookBoom dot com." great fast paced book! very good narrator Drone. this is a great fast paced book. It its a great story about how if your conversation can be over heard it can totally be taken the wrong way and wind you up in a heap of trouble. a few old friends are sitting at a dinner talking about how easy it could be to take over a drone, just fantasizing about how easy it would be, playing around with the idea, and BAM there world soon becomes upside down! scary how fast thing can happen The narrator did an great job on this book! and I look forward to hearing more from him! was gratefully provided this audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator for an unbiased review via Audio Boom.. When Is the movie "Drone" coming out? Would you listen to Drone again? Why? I plan on it. The technical details of the story are fascinating and worth a closer listen. Who was your favorite character and why? Without a doubt, it was Sam. For being a freaking genius, he had humility.

Tomlinson Narrator: Buddy Hatton Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 16 mins Language: English Release date: 11-23-16 Publisher: Dark Scan Publishing, LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 19 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: A man has taken over terminal four in LAX. He's pulled his gun out and forced everyone to take pictures of him - of what he's wearing. The QR codes he has pinned to his shirt all link to different web addresses, and as the pictures spread across social media, the world begins to pour over his manifesto. The shooter has just transformed himself into an information virus. But as soon as he pulled the trigger he also became something else: the newest target of The Shooter Act. If they catch him, they'll erase him form history, systematically deleting all record that he ever existed. The man with the gun knows this especially well because he's one of the people who helped get the law passed. That's why it has to be him. He's the only one who might be able to convince everyone that the law has gone too far, and that it's being used to hide a murder that implicates some of the most powerful people in the world. The Shooter Act is a nonstop thrill-ride, an amazing mix of near-future techno-savvy and realistically detailed action too compelling to put down. A gripping tale of people caught up in a dastardly plot that's disturbingly believable. Members Reviews: Spectacular read. Narrator is great, story is great. Had a lot of fun reading this one, it was over before I knew it. Paints a great picture of a government that has become too powerful and the corruption that tags along with it. fantastic thriller FULL DISCLOSURE: I was given this book in exchange for an unbiased review. I loved it. Great fast paced thriller. Fantastic use of real world tech and future tech that isn't that far off from being real. At the end you can definitely see this happening in real life... which is kinda scary. I enjoyed it start to finish and hope any potential sequel isn't too far off because I'll be buying the second book in the series for sure. Absolutely Brilliant! Everything about this book is fantastic. The story itself just grabs you and refuses to let you go. with so many various parts and pieces that don't seem to have anything in common, the author manages to hook into you and keep you listening to find out more and unveil the mystery at hand. I'm already excited about a sequel. The narration is very well done. Voice inflections denoting emotions and excitement and the pace at which the narrator speaks during action sequences draws you further in and keeps you hooked. Nope Good narrator, but perhaps a bit too emotional voice, but not an interesting story. Blah! A scary look at a potential future Any additional comments? The Shooter Act, set in a not so distant future, explores several themes prevalent in America today. Namely corporate overreach, government corruption, billionaires in politics, mass automation, and the ever present gun control debate. What happens when the media controls the people, the government controls the media, the corporations control the government? It's a perfect storm rife with corruption, coverups, and manipulation. The characters are incredibly well hashed out, and even at the end, Turner Tomlinson has made every POV character sympathetic to the reader. It's this investment that certainly will make readers come back for more and continue this story.

In 2025 America, it's hardly news when a renowned octogenarian scientist dying of cancer disappears from a local hospice, but when Kansas City Star reporter Rich Azadian begins to dig, he discovers that other elderly scientists around the world have also vanished recently - all terminally ill and receiving the same experimental treatment from a global health company. His investigation leads him to the reclusive Noam Heller, a brilliant researcher exploring new technologies to reverse-age cancer and other cells. Using revolutionary stem cell treatments and snippets of DNA from rare, immortal Arctic jellyfish, his breakthrough promises the genetic equivalent of the fountain of youth. But when Heller is murdered and his lab destroyed, Rich and his girlfriend Antonia become targets themselves. With the local police and federal authorities failing to see the big picture, he realizes he must take matters into his own hands to survive and stop the killing. His only hope is to mobilize his network of brilliant misfits and infiltrate the vast and lethal race - among cutthroat corporations, national intelligence services, rogue scientists, and a mysterious international organization - to control the new technologies and perhaps the secret of life itself. Members Reviews: this one has all the ingredients for success Set in a near future, an octogenarian scientist dying of cancer is suddenly missing from the nursing home where he is. The police are not making great efforts in trying to find him, but this case catches the eye of Rick Azadian, a reporter for the local newspaper. While investigating this case, Rich discovers other elderly people missing in similar circumstances: old, in advanced stages of cancer, and with some level of dementia. Piecing things together, Rick realizes that the disappearances are related to cancer research, and the sneaky Noam Heller may have some answers. But somebody doesn't want the truth to see the light, and Heller, Rich, and his girlfriend will become the targets in a dangerous game. I always enjoy a good technothriller, and this one has all the ingredients for success: a catchy story, interesting characters, some degree of science, and a good writing. The book trapped me from the start with the intrigue about the missing people. The premises were well set, and it was impossible not to want to know more. I found this book, and especially the first half, to be a page-turner. Sometimes in technothriller, I get confused when there are many one dimensional characters. Rich and Antonia are quite the opposite. They are interesting, and their story feels real. The interaction with other characters is also quite fluid, and the dialogs feel natural. Sometimes I have issues connecting to characters in thrillers, but this is not the case. I cared about Rich, and especially about Antonia. There is some 'plausible' science in this story, and this is one of the keys of this book. I am not saying that the science could be real, but the hypothesis made sense for people not really into biology and genetics. The writing was good, making the story flow, and keeping my attention.

But most people are happy to spend their lives plugged in, and the country is decaying. Alma's partner is ill and has to be treated without fail every four hours, a task that only Alma can do. If she misses the five-minute window, her lover will die. She is one of the few not to access Shine. So when Alma is called to an automated car factory to be shown an impossible death and finds herself caught up in a political coup, she knows that getting too deep may leave her unable to get home. What follows is a fast-paced Hitchcockian thriller as Alma evades arrest, digs into the conspiracy and tries to work out how on earth a dead body appeared in the boot of a freshly made car in a fully automated factory. Members Reviews: A Third Triumph after Jack Glass and The Thing Itself This is a very big book in a tidy package. To start with, I've never read a science fiction mystery this legitimate. A mystery promises a guessable, real-world, non-supernatural solution, so because as Arthur C Clarke said, "A technology advanced enough is indistinguishable from magic," a science fiction solution inevitably feels like a cheat. Not so in Real Town. This novel is a genuine mystery, and its ingenious and rigorous solution not just rewards the reader but pays off and pays back Clarke's dictum. In addition to writing a satisfying and surprising locked room mystery, Adam Roberts manages to escape the locked room as a writer. Without in any way compromising the integrity of the story, he has all sorts of meta- fun, transforming a small-town whodunit into a large-scale violent action thriller, a paranoid political thriller, and a sophisticated philosophical inquiry. The following are semi-spoilers you might want to discover for yourself: A famous English film director makes several uncredited cameos. All the major characters are women. This is a great futuristic novel about the political implications of the internet. Exciting and funny near-future mystery A world where most folks spend most of their time online sounds pretty crazy, I know. This story follows a private detective trying to solve a unique locked-box mystery and finding herself in a plot much deeper and darker than she could ever have imagined. Fun, fast-moving, thoughtful, and recommended. There might even be a part 2! Welcome to the Town of the Real I look forward to Roberts' new releases, because they are always different and interesting and well-written. RTM was no exception - lots of fun, a quick and compelling read, and something happens every four hours! This is probably the most fun I've had with one of his books since SWIFTLY. The murder has a clever (and possible) solution that I didn't come up with, and the world he created is just as interesting as the murder. This is one of two books, so there should be more to explore of that new world in Book 2. Hopefully it gets here soon! The Real-Town Murders I read this book as part of my on-going attempt to diversify my reading. I usually stick to the same old genres but this year I have been dipping my toes into more sci-fi and fantasy and, as my go to genre is crime, a sci-fi crime book seemed an ideal book to continue my mission. We have here a traditional locked door mystery.

For enthusiastic salesman Dylan Dansby, selling an innovative new product to combat these problems could be a career defining opportunity - but Dylan's selling a product he doesn't believe in, and one that might just work a little too well... Members Reviews: Idempotency is a sci-fi tale whose themes will probably remind ... Idempotency is a sci-fi tale whose themes will probably remind you of those found in Philip K Dick's works. It raises questions about the nature of reality and how technological advances may blur the distinction between reality and fiction. It explores the consequences of essentially ever lasting life - if you want it, and can pay for it. The characters used to tell this tale vary from a gregarious salesman to a pious business executive to an altruistic hacker covered in an animated flame tattoo. While technology features prominently, the focus is not on the tech itself (a fault I find in much of the tech heavy sci-fi out there), but the consequences of that technology. If you're looking for a thoughtful, entertaining read, give it a try. High points for originality. Joshua Wright knows how to create a vibrant world with breadth and depth. This is particularly welcome when so much of the book is highly speculative in nature since it gives the reader a nice anchor while navigating this future society. As bizarre as much of this future is, most of the technology and social structure here is a fairly reasonable extrapolation of our own early twenty first century lives and that is one of the great strengths of this book. The dichotomy between the wealthy immortals and the masses of freakish poor with access to only portions of longevity tech is very well conceived, dramatic and poignant. The final disintegration of the facade of government and democracy and emergence of a completely dystopian corporate society is well realized in this book as is the ubiquitous future technology. The book's ending was fun in sort of a classic Twilight Zone(y) kind of way. On the negative side there was far, far too much ranting by the lunatic Reverend Coglin. I would have gotten the message of his insanity and any pertinent facts with half or even a quarter of the delusional diatribes and tirades I was subjected to here. It also occurred to me several times that the underground organization SOP would have been more believable and fully realized if it had been a bit larger and better organized both physically and virtually. Considering the scope of the SOP's struggles they could have had at least a few real world weapons for example. At any rate I found myself having to activate my suspension of disbelief in this regard. The second half of the book bogged down a bit compared to the promise of the first half.

Title: Clem's Contrivance Subtitle: A Prepper Is Cast Adrift: The Apocalyptic Rifle, Book 1 Author: Ron Foster Narrator: Fred Frees Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 7 mins Language: English Release date: 08-29-16 Publisher: Ronald Foster Ratings: 2 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: A group of stranded preppers are trying to survive the aftermath of a cyber and terrorist bomb offensive on America's electrical grid by homesteading on an old sharecropper plantation. The big cities are in ruins as societal collapse and starvation set in. The government is attempting to save some of the populace by setting up FEMA camps and enforcing martial law but they are soon overwhelmed by the sheer size of the disaster and a world without law begins. Come listen and enjoy the antics of two old southern sharecroppers trying to teach a group of preppers the finer arts of mule plowing and backwoods living. Unbeknownst to the preppers the overseer of this place has had a plan for years to escape and do some high living with a mysterious treasure his neighbor found in the hold of an old casino barge, but now he must enlist their aid as strangers have come to lay claim to his prize. Members Reviews: Prepperstock 2014 never ends, and that's a good thing. I enjoyed this one a lot. Though I enjoy some Clem and Bertha banter, it's toned down quite a bit in this book and not a distraction. Personally knowing some of the characters woven into the story is a real plus but it's a fun and informative read even if you don't know any of the usual suspects. The story line is as always quite plausible and one thing I very much like is that Ron does not feel the need to rub all of the negative elements of a catastrophe in your face. If you are looking for books where people are mean to one another, or something going into great detail about the nasty things that can happen he's not your type of writer, but if you focus more on problem solving and remaining positive then you will enjoy his brand of fiction a great deal. A captivating read and the ending makes you hungry for the next book. I had already read several of the authors books when I had the good fortune of actually meeting him at a preparedness gathering. His writing is a reflection of his interesting and eclectic life. Many thanks to Mr. Foster for taking the time to use the prepper platform to teach and entertain us. Bctruck A great read!! This second in this new series of books by Ron Foster, is much like his earlier works. Your reading a great story when it hits you your learning something new about prepping!!! Love the new plot lines.... Five Stars Excellent as usual. The author should really write more about Crick... What an interesting character, obviously well rounded, intelligent, and handsome ;)) Like all of Mr. Foster's works, this one has an abundance of folk lore and country skills in it. Great job!

Citadel: First Colony Audiobook by Kevin Tumlinson

Title: Citadel: First Colony Subtitle: The Citadel Trilogy, Book 1 Author: Kevin Tumlinson Narrator: Bryant Sullivan Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 48 mins Language: English Release date: 09-29-16 Publisher: Kevin Tumlinson Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: Turns out, crashing is the easy part. It's been more than a century since humanity escaped the overpopulation of Earth, expanding out among the stars. We've faced and overcome war with an alien race. We've survived terrorist attacks meant to end colonization. We've thrived despite unregulated class distinctions, separating the wealthy from the working class. What comes next may be the end of it all. A lone colony of human castaways, led by a former alien enemy, find themselves at the mercy of a saboteur and a plot to end humanity's unrestricted travel among the stars. This could be the finale of the colonies and the end of a species. Everything depends on how smart - and how forgiving - humanity can actually be. Members Reviews: Classic Science Fiction that's part Thriller! Would you listen to Citadel: First Colony again? Why? Ive had the e-book version of First Colony on my Kindle for months. However, Ive also been extremely busy lately and my to-read list continues to grow. When I saw that Tumlinson brought it to Audible, I figured this was my chance to spend one of the credits I was holding on to. So one day last month, I listened to the first three hours from the seat of my riding lawn mower. Bryant Sullivan does an excellent job as the narrator. I dont think Tumlinson could have picked a better guy. I ended up jumping back and forth between Audible and Kindle after that; its easier to read on the Kindle than listen to an audio book when my wife is sleeping next to me. Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? A criticism I have about many modern books and movies are the trends of making everyone an anti-hero and blurring the lines between good and evil. Tumlinson does a good job doing that with some characters and not with others. He has some legitimate good guys, like Somar, and he also has the ones that keep you guessing. Just when you figure them out, something changes. Which character as performed by Bryant Sullivan was your favorite? I thought the cast of characters was excellent, but if I had to choose a favorite it would be Somar the Esool. He provided much needed leadership, struggling to keep the colony united and focused on their survival, while dealing with class rivalries and prejudice. Somar is an old school good guy, a cross between John Wayne and Mr. Spock. He is the type of man that maintains his cool under pressure and isnt afraid to make the tough decisions. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Cry? Absolutely not. I am a man for Pete's sake. I laughed a few times maybe, but my extreme reaction was just enjoying the heck out of the story. Any additional comments? I rate Citadel: First Colony a solid five stars. Tumlinson has winner with this one, and I cant wait to read or listen to the next in the series. I havent been as excited about a sci-fi series since I read the Heechee Saga by Frederik Pohl 25 years ago. This book rekindled (no pun intended) my love of science fiction.

Title: Jubilee Subtitle: The Heist to Erase Debt Author: Joseph Preacher Narrator: Tim Campbell Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 42 mins Language: English Release date: 10-06-16 Publisher: JKP Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: Mastermind. Con man. Hacker. Burglar. Muscle. Together, this crew will execute the most ambitious heist conceived. Jubilee: The Heist to Erase Debt is packed with heart-stopping political intrigue, adrenaline-fueled suspense, and high-octane action. It's a slick heist and technothriller that taps in to the unrest and disillusionment of debt and its devastating effects on society. On the surface Roman Hawker is the consummate professional. Behind that squeaky-clean façade lies a secret: He's a masterful thief. After a successful robbery, Roman and his partners in crime are ready to celebrate, but that celebration is short-lived when they are shaken by the death of Roman's estranged father. When the facts leading up to his father's death come to light, Roman's friends rally around him to execute their most harrowing plan. Jubilee, an ingenious malware derived from the infamous Stuxnet, is the only thing that can accomplish their objective. But it's impossible to infiltrate the systems that Jubilee needs to corrupt. Their combined efforts could potentially free society from the shackles of crippling financial debt, but the avenues they'll have to navigate to succeed will prove to be far more challenging than any heist they've ever attempted. Can they evade the FBI manhunt or the shadow organization that will stop at nothing to find them? Find out! Members Reviews: A Spot On Technothriller Jubilee: a year of emancipation and restoration provided by ancient Hebrew law to be kept every 50 years by the emancipation of Hebrew slaves, restoration of alienated lands to their former owners, and omission of all cultivation of the land. The story Jubilee takes a similar idea to what is really keeping the world enslaved - debt. Jubilee reminded me of a lot of other stories throughout it. At times it was similar to Mr. Robot and Fight Club (end-game of both stories). And at other times it had the technical expertise that it reminded me of some of the best fiction thrillers and non-fiction technical books I've read. If he continues to write stories like Jubilee, Joseph Preach is an author to look out for. The technology expertise was definitely there. I didn't feel like I was being talked down to either which made this a fun and enjoyable book without getting extremely bogged down in the details. Preacher had a way of writing about difficult and technical things where the reader could just enjoy it, instead of having to go Google it. The story had a really nice feel and flow to it. It really flew by and I couldn't stop reading it. I think it took me less than two days to finish this book. And those were work days. I listened almost every moment I was awake. I love when a book can totally capture my attention like that. I sincerely hope that this isn't it for Preacher. I hope that he has more technothrillers about similar ideas bouncing around in his head because I really want more books like this in my life. I thought that the narration done by Tim Campbell really helped to set the tone of Jubilee. He allowed Preacher's ideas to just flow and made a book I couldn't put down even harder to set down. I was given a free copy of this audiobook which has not affected my review in any way. If you enjoyed this review, please vote for it! Every vote helps.

When Mark Weston is hired by OneMarket, the prestigious and premier supplier of global equity trading systems, owned by international business tycoon Simon Harris, he thinks he's found his dream job. Great pay, amazing benefits - and sure, the hours are long and the demands on his time are often extreme - but it means financial security for him and his wife Sheila, a new life and a new beginning, a fast track to success with a great company. But deep within the walls of the enigmatic OneMarket, there is something unthinkable happening that only a select few are aware of, the development of a new kind of invasive technology dubbed the genesis code, that could not only expand Simon Harris' empire, but create a new, more efficient and obedient workforce. Mark and his coworkers have unknowingly become part of a horrifying experiment they may never be able to escape, and time is running out. A new kind of worker...a new kind of hybrid...a new kind of corporate slave.... The Genesis Code...upload complete. Members Reviews: What. A. Book. This book has been on my to-read list for a while. Ever since finishing another book from Lisa (Broken Chain) I knew I wanted to read this book. I enjoyed Broken Chain so much, I would listen to it if Crossroads Press releases it on audio (crosses fingers). So, I work in the technology field. I understand the meaning of uptime and carrying (n) 9s. We have contracts that make up maintain a certain amount of uptime. 5 minutes of downtime per year is insane. Truly insane. And I 100% believe that companies (especially financial companies like the one in the book) have contracts like this. Knowing what that means and what some of these penalties look like in real life made this book feel even more real to me. The mixing of home-life (what little there was) and work life set this book aside a little. Ive read, what I call Business Thrillers before and loved them but they dont focus a lot on the home life. von Biela really tried to mix the two and show what working and living like this was like for both the husband and the wife. I commend her for doing so. The technothriller part of this was straight out of my favorite author's playbook. Ive even read a book similar to the premise in here (maybe a little further along). That made it even better for me. It was something similar but done in a totally different way. I love when a book can do that. If youre a technothriller fan (think Douglas E. Richards and Michael Crichton) and business-type thrillers (Eliot Peper and Joseph Finder) then this book is definitely for you. Also, if youre a fan of just a darn good story check this book out. I was voluntarily provided with a copy of this book. It has not affected my review in any way.

Buckell Narrator: Carolyn Michelle Smith Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 03-20-12 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 93 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: Global warming has transformed the Earth, and it's about to get even hotter. The Arctic Ice Cap has all but melted, and the international community is racing desperately to claim the massive amounts of oil beneath the newly accessible ocean. Enter the Gaia Corporation. Its two founders have come up with a plan to roll back global warming. Thousands of tiny mirrors floating in the air can create a giant sunshade, capable of redirecting heat and cooling the earth's surface. They plan to terraform Earth to save it from itselfbut in doing so, they have created a superweapon the likes of which the world has never seen. Anika Duncan is an airship pilot for the underfunded United Nations Polar Guard. Shes intent on capturing a smuggled nuclear weapon that has made it into the Polar Circle and bringing the smugglers to justice. Anika finds herself caught up in a plot by a cabal of military agencies and corporations who want Gaia Corporation stopped. But when Gaia Corp loses control of their superweapon, it will be Anika who has to decide the future of the world. The nuclear weapon she has risked her life to find is the only thing that can stop the floating sunshade after it falls into the wrong hands. Critic Reviews: Buckell represents an important force behind the genres change. Buckells work deals with complex racial issues in a way worthy of the self-proclaimed literature of ideas: head-on, with no visible flinching, while still managing to give its readers a rollicking good time. ( The Seattle Times) Members Reviews: Plausible & interesting first 1/3; then falters The premise and the setting were fascinating: UN Polar Guard airships over the now ice free areas above Canada. And the idea that there would still be smuggling and intrigue -of course, and with energy at the heart. But then both the technology and the plot went pretty far away from plausibility AND the characters felt like they were just speaking their lines. Couldn't finish it and didn't care too much how it ended. I DID like that the heroine is a Nigerian lesbian. Near/medium future climate change winners/losers Thrillers aren't generally my bag, though I found a lot more to like, sf-wise, in Arctic Rising than in Neal Stephenson's ???Reamde???, another "sf/thriller" hybrid of recent memory. (This isn't a fault necessarily of ???Reamde???, it is after all set in a future as near as next year.) For ???Arctic Rising???, I very much enjoyed Smith's narration, my first experience with her as a narrator. She handled African and Afro-Caribbean accents well enough, along with a clear mainline narration, though her Russian accents left a little more to the imagination. Story-wise, an interesting and sophisticated near/medium future of a climate change with winners and losers is marred only a little by the incredulous parade of near-deaths and escapes which drive Anika to and fro. 3.5 to 4 stars, somewhere in there. Fiction concept was well thought out. Buckell's story line holds your interest. The narration was not quite up to par. I would consider both author and narrator again. wouldn't recommend Unfortunately had to give up listening after about hour in to the story, mostly due to narrators accent.

This thriller has Mike Scott racing against the clock to unravel the mystery before the entire world is thrown into chaos. Members Reviews: A must read for thrill seekers and adventurers. When I first met Eric, he asked me who my favorite author is. I mentioned Clive Custler as I have read everything he has written. He gave me a ovel he had written, and I enjoyed it immensely. He then asked me to read this book, looking for any mistakes he had written. The story is enthralling to say the least. It held me attention to the very end. The drama that takes occurs both in the sea and on land is compelling and spellbinding. It is a new take on holding a nation at hostage while a monster attempts to rob an entire culture and hold the entire world at his beck and call. I would highly recommend this as a must read for the person interested in thrillers and adventures. Great Read for Divers and Lovers of Cayman!

Mike Scott returns to Cayman to celebrate with friends, then the action begins. Underwater near-death experience, cyberterrorist and Grand Cayman cut off from the world. Eric Douglas has crafted an awesome Mike Scott adventure novel. Get ready to lose some sleep because you won't be able to put this book down. A High Tech Adventure Return to Cayman is fast paced, easy read. The reader is engaged and drawn in, compelled to find out what's on the coming pages. The mystery surrounding the characters and the modern day technologies made the book very much real world. I enjoyed.

Bullets and missiles take a back seat to cyber-enhanced soldiers and pulse weapons. In this extreme environment, only the most hardened body and mind can survive. Calder McKenna was a failed experiment in the military's push for power. Now a special agent for the metro task force, he lives day by day trying to forget the ones that were lost, the ones that he could have saved. When technology and humanity collide, Calder is forced to make desperate decisions, but how do you destroy the monster without becoming one yourself? Members Reviews: Edge of darkness Any additional comments? This audiobook was great from start to finish! Calder gripped me from the very first page till the last chapter . Sierra has balls of steel and made me admire her. I received a review copy courtesy of Audiobook boom. (Vulgar) romance... set in the future Story: 1 out of 5 stars Narration: 4.5 out of 5 stars I've sat down a few times to write my review on this book. There are some parts of it that just completely rubbed me the wrong way. The intro (first few minutes) felt completely unnecessary. I'm a guy, but hearing about a guy needing to (I'm not even going to write it here for fear of Amazon's review policies) in the first minute of a Science Fiction novel really threw me for a loop. Another issue that I had with this is the absolute vulgarity of it. I curse... a lot in my everyday life. And there are definitely books where swearing and cursing are completely fine (I've read some post-apocalyptic novels where it just worked). But, there was something about the tone of this book that the cursing didn't seem to match. The story itself was semi-interesting, though a lot more of it focused on romance than I'm comfortable with. After I finished it, I ended up looking at other reviews and I notice a few commonalities. The reviews were all from readers who aren't normally into science fiction. Well, if you're into romance this book is for you. Also, if you're into books where the main character curses for no apparent reason, this book is definitely for you. If you're looking for a science fiction book with a great plotline and good character development -- there are other books out there for you. I ended up not being able to finish it. If I had read this book on my own, I might have only read 20 pages before I gave up. But since I was listening to it, I gave it more than a fair chance. Shawn Compton was the only reason I almost finished this book. I enjoyed his narration so much, I'm having a hard time rating this book. The book itself, in my opinion, was only 1-2 stars. But Compton's narration is easily a 4 or a 5. I should have known by the cover of it that this wasn't going to be for me, but I let myself get sucked in by a well-written synopsis. I think the most frustrating part is that the book still sounds good to me. I just took a moment and re-read the synopsis and I would pick it up again. But I just couldn't get into it. I think if the book was focused more on what was written in the synopsis and less on the main characters sex drive it would have been a hit. I genuinely feel terrible writing reviews like this, but sometimes a book just hits a nerve at the right (or wrong) time.

I'm not much of fan of short stories or serials, but I enjoyed this authors other work and this sounded really good so I gave it a try. Hmmm, I'm not sure what to say about this to be honest. Being that it's the first in the serial, it didn't really explain much nor go into much character or plot development which let it down, but it does have promise. The start of the book starts with a tragedy and an intriguing virus thing being passed from person to person, but then not a single thing was said about it after that and I was left wondering, WTH. It will probably be explained and expanded on over the course of the serial, but I was left feeling like this was one was meh!! Doug Greene read it well but I felt like he didn't have enough different tones and voices for the characters. I wasn't drawn into the story as much as I could have been if he had a little more enthusiasm for the story. I was voluntarily provided this audiobook for free from the author, narrator, or publisher. This in no way affected nor influenced my thoughts. A Thriller for real Where does The Flense: China rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? high among techno thrillers What other book might you compare The Flense: China to and why? There are lots out there "Final Dawn" the series is the one that springs to mind Would you listen to another book narrated by Doug Greene? Not sure. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes it was, couldn't wait for the next opportunity to listen Any additional comments? I received a free copy of this book & have voluntarily left this review. Well written and love this series I loved the narrator of this book, his voice is amazing. the story has a ot thst keeps you excited to know what happens next. we worth the purchase!!!! Did Tanpepper reel you in too? Oh My Gosh what a wild ride author Saul Tanpepper takes you on, this book starts at the top of the hill of a roller coaster and never stops, even the ending is a cliffhanger (it is a serial after all) and I CAN NOT wait for part two.

Title: Unveiled Subtitle: Etudes in C#, Book 2 Author: Jamie Wyman Narrator: Mandy Nelson Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 3 mins Language: English Release date: 11-07-16 Publisher: Pajamazon Wordworks Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: Technomancer Catherine Sharp has an extensive resume. Rewiring celebrity panic rooms. Doing IT work for the best casinos in Las Vegas. Completing server repair. But nowhere in her job description does it say she'll be investigating grisly murders. However, a girl is dead, and the gods are calling for the head of her killer. And the deity who owns Cat's soul has demanded that she lead the hunt. Adding to the fun, a team of ruthless mages is scouring Sin City searching for a magical veil that they think Cat possesses. By hook or by crook, they will get the relic, no matter how many bodies they must leave in their wake. One little problem, though: Cat doesn't know what or where the veil is. With two mysteries to solve, and the gods growing impatient, Cat knows she has little time to piece together the flimsy clues. Now, she must enlist the help of her best friend and his new girlfriend, put her trust in one who has betrayed her, and wade through some murky family secrets, before she winds up worm food herself. Place your bets, for the truth is about to be unveiled. Members Reviews: A GOOD CONTINUATION TO THE SERIES The title of the book suits the storyline very well. There were lots of action, intrigues between heaven and hell. The protagonist, Cat and her friends/allies fought hard to find the truth. Very well written and Mandy Nelson narrated/performed superbly. This is the first series I have heart her performance and I like it. I will be waiting anxiously for the next book to be published and I hope she will still the narrator.

Escaping America Audiobook by Warren Fahy

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/91/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Escaping America Author: Warren Fahy Narrator: Austin Nebbia Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 02-07-17 Publisher: Crossroad Press Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: Two industrial giants conspire to change the future. An unlikely American teenager, ground down in the wheels of an increasingly totalitarian system, discovers a mysterious force that can unlock the chains encircling the world. The choices he makes will determine the fate of humanity, forever. In this sprawling novel that cuts a cross-section of the American pie wide open, a multi-generational mystery crosses class, race, and political lines to reveal a portrait in mosaic of American life - today, and tomorrow. Members Reviews: A lesson in what to expect when you let others take away your freedoms This is a scary fiction story that could become all to real in the society that is being forged today. It is a wake-up call to anyone who thinks that more government control would be a good thing in this world, that giving up our freedom to act and do as we would choose, even if it doesn't hurt anyone else, is acceptable. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and want my children to read it. I have worked hard to raise children who are respectful without giving up their ability to have their own opinions. That is what is given up by this society in this story, including the fundamental freedom to even think and feel as you wish. Read it and consider it a lesson and a forewarning. Vaughn has a great way of putting things into perspective. He is imaginative and logical. I have enjoyed reading his writing and am looking forward to much more from him. Interesting teenage perspective on the meaning of life Warren Fahy's ESCAPING AMERICA reads so much like a Young Adult novel that I wish he had toned down the sex, drugs, and profanity so it could be marketed as such. It reminded me a great deal of both RASH (Peter Hautman) and FEED (M. T. Anderson), YA cautionary tales about the ultimate price we pay in letting government and technology control what should be our own free thinking. Fahy's novel focuses on Rory and Ellen, two rebellious teens living in the near future, when a bloated government, working hand-in-hand with a super computer program, has control over every aspect of human life. Residents in Fahy's society are taxed for a list of social programs so long they won't fit on one page. They can't hire anyone without governmental permission, they can't paint their own homes unless they buy overpriced government-approved fire-retardant paint, and they can't speak their own minds without being forced into a thinly disguised reprogramming course. When Rory and Ellen begin to actively rebel against the system, they find support in Saphire Hunt, one of the programmers who was responsible for the computer program controlling the world. Fahy's philosophy (reflected in each of the four novels I have read) is that mankind is inherently good, and if left to our own devices we will inevitably create a world that is both beautiful and peaceful. He argues against government control, and celebrates free enterprise, freedom of thought, and trust in human judgment. There are definitely suggestions of Libertarian thinking in this novel, and clear hints of Ayn Rand (although Fahy rejects both labels, preferring instead to see his philosophy as free of labels that have already been made "radioactive").

The Pedestal Audiobook by Daniel Wimberley

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/91/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Pedestal Author: Daniel Wimberley Narrator: Coale Kirk Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 52 mins Language: English Release date: 08-09-16 Publisher: Design Vault, LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: Wilson Abby is just another happy consumer, content to chase the carrot of new-budding technology. But when the universe delivers a swift kick to the diodes with the mysterious death of his closest friend, Wilson can't resist the urge to play detective. Peeling back a veneer of half-truths, Wilson makes a startling discovery - one that people will kill to bury. Abruptly, life as he knows it is thrown into unimaginable chaos. The Pedestal is a thrilling glimpse into a society madly infatuated with integration and endless consumer upgrades. Wilson must battle gangsters, conspiring politicians and hordes of flesh-eating creations before civilization is toppled from its pedestal. Members Reviews: Makes you take pause with all-things tech. I grabbed this book as a Kindle freebie. The book takes you to unexpected places and it's an enjoyable journey. Wimberley's "The Pedestal" shows the potential evolution of our technological advances, which comically, can be destroyed by nature (well, modified nature). Plausible? Yes, in a far-reaching way; but still should provide the reader a moment to reflect on our `advancement'. As a whole, Wilson Abby, the main character is a bit of a slacker and self-defeatist. His redeeming quality is his ethical position, but otherwise he is a cog in a broader group of interesting characters and plot. The reader will enjoy other characters and action, the story, and the conclusion. The NEXUS framework is parts Google Glass, human implants, virtual reality, Big Brother akin to a communist state, with select capitalism running the show. Even in a quasi-utopian future, power and corruption still pull the strings. The Pedestal offers the philosophical question: What would an advanced, high-tech society do when the lights turn off? This is pure sci-fi, with hardly anyone `off grid', alien planets, genetically-modified organisms, betrayal, corruption, and even tosses in one transgender employee that Wilson must navigated around. The premise of this novel will affect your Being to the core. A must read. While this novels storyline resides in the future, it's premise could equally represent the past ,present or future. If you aren't into books that give you the urge to read a part of the story again to get a clearer understanding of events; or storylines that require, not only your imagination but gray matter as well, then this isn't the book for you. More often than not you read a book and feel like you had just finished reading the same book not long before or that it's premise is in every other movie you've seen. While this novel leaves you with flashes from a much older one, War of the Worlds (also made into a movie for those of you who would rather see it in a theater than read the words on paper), the ingenuity and the characters will leave you with the feeling of having just read something that's so powerfully different than what you've ever read before. Although the premise is not new I found myself seeing our world and our miraculous advances in technology and medicine in a totally refreshing way.

The Codex File Audiobook by Miles Etherton

Title: The Codex File Author: Miles Etherton Narrator: Vincent Brownlee Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 28 mins Language: English Release date: 03-24-17 Publisher: Miles Etherton Ratings: 2.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: Forget everything you think you know about the Internet. If you think nefarious web sites peddling a cocktail of scams, illegal pornography, racial hatred, and vicious computer viruses was all you had to worry about - think again. The government has banned access to the Internet, dubbing it an illegal, unregulated zone. Sounds like good news, doesn't it, until you know that its replacement controls every aspect of your life, from digital content, provision of your gas, water, and electricity, and all your money. With everything and everybody connected, we're all now potential targets if we oppose it. Do you still feel safe? Empowered? Connected? Welcome to the future of the Internet. Welcome to the Codex file. Michael Robertson's family has been murdered to protect the covert project linked to establishing a new Internet. Piecing together what happened leads him to four hackers, vehemently opposed to the new network, who provide the only means to hunt down the killers. But uncovering the truth leads to industrial espionage and a plot that leads right to the heart of government as he seeks the truth behind the Codex file. Members Reviews: Life without the Internet This book has elements of Political Intrigue, Science Fiction, and Mystery/Thriller Michael comes home to a gruesome scene that puts him into a 'Care' facility for almost two years. When he gets out technology has changed so much. The Internet is gone and you can do virtually everything from a unique television set-up. The mystery behind what happened to his family is unsolved and not everything he thought was true, still is. I felt Michael's emotional angst. I enjoyed the plot twists and turns of this story. I'm not sure I'd like to live without the Internet. A friend once told me that there is a difference in endings depending on who is writing it. I now believe him. This is one of those stories where you truly don't know who will come out on top until the very end...even then you aren't sure. Warning: This book is for Mature Audiences due to violence and adult language. A great read. I'm waiting for the next one-"the rest of the story" This is an intriguing action packed murder, mystery book based on the premise of a selected few members of the UK government seeking to ban the internet and put a government controlled version of it in place. This move robs an unsuspecting citizenship of it's freedom; of control over it's choices and it's environment. This book has all the elements of a great mystery, thriller, fiction read. It also has a message for those who are open to recognizing it. The freedoms we take for granted can be lost so easily through stealth and secretive promotion and gradual control. Those of us who have enjoyed freedom for a century take it for granted; we become unsuspecting, never believing anything could happen to us. As the Codex File is implemented there are people who are willing to risk everything to fight against it, using old technology. These people are hunted by the Codex enforcers; forced to flee for their lives, avoiding torture, imprisonment, and death. The Codex enforcers have targeted Michael Robertson's family. Initially he is devastated, and looses himself in the shock of his loss. In time he gets himself together and while learning to cope with his personal grief on a daily basis, he seeks revenge for what has happened.

Annie sets the pace in this techno-thriller, with suspense, intrigue, mystery, and laughter, as she hovers on the realm of possibilities. Annie secretly takes the listener into revolutionary new approaches to medicine and invention, as she races against the evils of humankind to save the two humans she loves most. Members Reviews: Captivating and Mezzzzzmerizzzzzing! Loved it, literally couldn't put it down and I'm not much of a reader. usually no time but I took this everywhere and listened every chance I got. So excited to get to each page and the voice was so realistic and mezmerizing. Cynthia Ann Worst narrator ever This has got to be the worst narrated book I have ever tried to listen to. The story is not all that interesting - in fact it is rather juvenile - which makes it even harder to try to get through it. I am giving up and returning it.

Quave Audiobook by John E. Parnell

Parnell Narrator: Peter Morris Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 52 mins Language: English Release date: 12-14-16 Publisher: Tutor Turtle Press LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: The story of the titular Quave concerns a group of politically motivated hackers work out of a converted apartment in Queens, New York, and after failing to hack a bank with a traditional virus, decide to create something entirely new - a virus that becomes more than just a virus - a virus that becomes its own functioning entity. Over the course of the novel, Quave grows stronger. It has the potential to solve global warming, cure cancer, but it has the equal potential to destroy mankind. The group of hackers must decide whether to let Quave continue to run free or destroy their own creation. Which leads to another, more terrifying, question - at this point, do they even have the ability to destroy it? Members Reviews: Think HAL 9000 on Steroids. A quartet of "Hacktivists" attack an international bank's computer records and reveal the bank's financial chicanery to the world, causing arrests and ruin at the highest levels. Turning their skills toward another bank, the hackers gain a ruthless enemy and the attention of the government. The hackers personal assistant computer program, Franz, is redesigned to become a sentient, self-developing program, named Quave, and it is released to the world. I might have said with predictable results, but the author takes the reader on a wild ride with some shocking results. The hacker story is interwoven with the very multilayered relationship of a frustrated science writer and his lover, an alcoholic FBI agent, the Russians, the Pentagon, threatened Armageddon, a CNN trip to Guatemala to interview a fugitive security analyst, and the leading US computer zillionaire. Meanwhile, Quave has become the world's favorite celebrity dispensing advice to any and all contacting it through television interviews and by email. Some very nasty twists and turns left me unable to put this book down until I had finished it. I commend the author on a gripping tale that is fine for everyone, computer knowledge not required. A fine and hearty read with no really objectionable language, violence, and little sexual content. High-tech suspense I normally am not drawn to suspense novels, but I can honestly say that I really enjoyed this book. The author's true-to-life depiction of a super computer virus brought me into the world of hackers. Although this is a high-tech suspense story, Mr Parnell effectively uses his artistry to allow those with limited technical skills to embrace his book.The events described are very believable, along with his illustrious characters. Several twists in the story caught be completely by surprise and made it even more gripping as to what may happen next. It is a well-written book that captivates the audience from the beginning to the end. I didn't want to put it down. a precocious computer virus... The star of John E. Parnell's 2016 The Genesis of Quave: A Quasi-Autonomous Viral Entity is a precocious computer virus that was not written by your "... average smart pissed off hippie with a laptop". Quave stands apart from other artificially intelligent beings by having developed its own its philosophic world view (tempered by a sense of morality), which it dispenses to all manner of human seekers via email.Â Parnell's second work of fiction, this is a page-turner that will surprise. The audiobook version was professionally narrated by Peter J.

Tense Detailed & Believable Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? Yes . Because of the unanswered questions Did the narration match the pace of the story? No Any additional comments? I received a free copy and have left a review freely Stay Tuned for the Next Exciting Chapter! Don't even THINK about reading this without having read episode 1, which ended in a cliff-hanger, as does this one. I've been listening to the AUDIO and it is well narrated and as exciting as listening to an old radio serial. This tautly scripted thriller pits the abilities of a doctor turned medical journalist against a plethora of disasters. It is hard to tell the good guys from the bad and everyone has an agenda. I am already actively listening to episode 3 . . . You'll want the next one before you finish This is part two of the twelve part serial and it picks up right where the last one left off, with Angelique trying to put all the puzzle pieces together even though she doesn't have all the pieces yet, and she has a gun to her head. This story is one to suck you in and never let you go until it feels like it. With Narrator Doug Greene reading it, it is even worse, he has all the characters down pat and he is so good at this you just loose yourself between his voice and Mr. Tanpepper's story you don't have a chance but to get sucked in and want more and more like a audio junkie. All the action and twist and turns, who is spying on who and working for who. All I can say is thank goodness there are twelve of these to keeps us going for a while, because you will want the next one before you finish the one you have. Every book is even better! I have fallen in love with this series. I am fully n invested in all the characters, the world is well fleshed out and the plot is dantastic.. one to book 3!!! Well done suspenseful tale This is the second of a twelve part series, and it assumes that you have already read or heard the first installment. This portion of the story is suspenseful and rather hard to put down. Like the previous part, it finishes with a cliffhanger.

In the 3D virtual world Marionette City, you can be anything you want - but everyone still knows who you are. Driven by her desire for a new life, Ivy takes her future in her hands when she makes another identity for herself. A brilliant designer, Ivy works for one of the huge multi-national firms which control the online system the world relies upon for both business and pleasure. But one day, Ivy tries to access M City as her alternate self, Reuben Cobalt, to discover that Reuben had been murdered. Since alternate identities are forbidden by the firms which control access to the nets and to M City, Ivy has nowhere to turn - until she finds Andersson Dexter.

Title: Wavelength Author: Angus Morrison Narrator: Shawn West Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 39 mins Language: English Release date: 06-24-16 Publisher: Waldorf Publishing Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: Wavelength captures the two dominant threads of the first decade of the 21st century - greed and terrorism. It takes us from the stoops of Brooklyn to the bike paths of Amsterdam, to Afghanistan, Moscow, and Zurich, to the backrooms of Brussels and Frankfurt, and finally to the hazy diwans of Yemen. Dazzled by his new boss, but harboring a soft spot for the Agency, Hayden allows himself to be pulled back in for one more run - a run that reminds him that people aren't what they seem, a run that reinforces his belief that greed has no sell-by date. Several years after the dot-com funeral pyre, Hayden Campbell, a former CIA operative turned speechwriter, finds himself working for the sixth richest man in the world, Aaron Cannondale. From this perch, Hayden watches as a Dutch student discovers a technology to send voice, video, and data through Europe's municipal water system. Standing in the way are European technocrats, the Russian mafia, a Swiss banker, and a new breed of terrorist intent on wreaking havoc on the West. Members Reviews: Love the detail What did you love best about Wavelength? Morrison's ability to intertwine unique and specific detail about the science of technology, or even just the visuals of a city, is magnificent. I enjoyed this modern-day thriller a great deal. What do you think the narrator could have done better? I have also read this book, so I had a harder time listening to this narrator's voice. He does a great job changing accents, however I wasn't a fan of his general narrator voice. It was a little slow, so maybe speaking a little less "stiff/slow" would be better. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Terrorism found a new wave to ride. or Wavelength....A new wave of terrorism Any additional comments? Looking forward to Morrison's next book!

There are lots of questions to be answered later in the series. Who was your favorite character and why? Chung - because he is a mystery. What three words best describe Doug Greenes performance? Doesn't add anything! Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? not one Many! Any additional comments? I received a free copy of this book and I voluntarily left this review. Girl on the Run Continuing the suspense, the first "cycle" in this 12-part serial, "China," completes in this episode. Like life, there are loads of loose ends, but if one reads no further he is not left on the edge of a cliff. The very nature of the story prevents full resolution and leaves your conspiracy sensors on high alert. (Is it really paranoia if some IS trying to kill you?) I was only able to listen [AUDIO] on the open road as too much concentration was required for traffic (read that either way--you'd best be paying attention to where you are in traffic!) but the excellent narration has been consistent. Don't bother to start here--this is not designed nor intended to be standalone. can't wait please hurry Angelique has more pieces to the puzzle including the only survivor from the train, but if Angelique doesn't do something fast the girl won't be a survivor much longer.

Title: Breaking Point Subtitle: Alpha Core Trilogy, Volume 2 Author: Vikki Romano Narrator: Shawn Compton Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 52 mins Language: English Release date: 10-21-16 Publisher: Vikki Romano Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: Sierra Mason has landed the career of a lifetime, becoming a special agent for a firm run by the best in the business. She has proven herself more times than she can count and things are finally going her way. But everything isn't always as it seems. When the truth is uncovered about her firm's investors and who they are tied to, the team is thrown into turmoil. Her partner, Calder McKenna, becomes embroiled in a conspiracy that is weaving itself through their lives and finds his own life in danger. Helpless, the team is in need of a hero and they are running out of time. Will Sierra realize what they need lies within her or will the journey send her reeling past her breaking point? Members Reviews: Breaking point If you could sum up Breaking Point in three words, what would they be? This is a book of two parts: an intriguing, exciting science fiction thriller which is substantially swamped by a tedius and poorly written psychological exploration and romance of one of the two main protagonists. There are many chapters written about Sierra, she remained for me a cardboard caricature, far too self pitying, shallow and contradictory to be the strong woman she is claimed to be. More Action.. Any additional comments? This book is the sequel to the Edge of Darkness. Sierra, the female lead, is learning to deal with her "abilities", while hiding her feelings for her partner, Calder. She can't deal with anything right now other than trying to control her abilities because she is afraid of hurting someone. Calder has to go on a mission and things don't go to well for him, Sierra is determined to do anything to save him. The pace picks up rather quickly and the story line has a few twists. Overall, this was an interesting read. The author did a good job with describing the setting and further character development. Shawn Compton did well with the narration. Note: "This audio book was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review." Excellent! Vickie has done another fine job! Can't wait for book 3..... and 4,5 and 6!

In a small North Carolina college town, a disillusioned math professor, Drew Bauer, discovers the sun is dying. His abandoned research could hold the key to survival, but he needs more information, and he needs help against the growing conspiracy to stop him. Trenton Smith, a sadistic billionaire who plans to sacrifice Earth for his own survival, attempts to isolate and control Drew. But Drew escapes with his engineer pal, Joe Sandusk. They plunge into a dangerous cross-country trip to a secret NASA facility where Drew falls for a scientist, Liza Maddox, whose uncertain loyalty could sabotage all their efforts. Almost out of time - and with Smith's forces closing in - Drew, Liza, and Joe race down the California coast to save the world. Members Reviews: Here Comes The Sun Where does Before the Sun Hits rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Before the Sun Hits is a fast paced "maybe end of the world" thriller. I really liked the book, but it is disturbing at times. Contemplating a future without the sun is down right scary. The author interjected humor and romance to break-up the tension. Who was your favorite character and why? I liked Professor Bauer. He seemed to represent "every person". He is not perfect, but he strives to do the right thing. What does Arthur Swan bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? He brings the book alive. I was worried about an author reading his own work. In past books, with other authors, this has not worked out well. Arthur Swan did an exceptional job. Any additional comments? I was provided this audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator for an unbiased review via Audiobook Boom. Excellent SciFi Thriller Would you listen to Before the Sun Hits again? Why? Yes, An engaging hard to stop listening to Which scene was your favorite? It all was good. I liked Professor Bauer because he was in the middle of everything Any additional comments? I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review Excellent SciFi Thriller Before The Sun Hits is a top notch SciFi thriller about a disillusioned, small time, college professor, Drew Bauer, who discovers that the sun is dying out and is going to explode. Realizing that his abandoned research could hold the key to saving the world, Bauer sets out to try to do something about the problem. Only he is kidnapped by a billionaire mega villiain who has his own plan for surviving the apocalypse. A plan that doesnt have the best interest of the rest of the human race in mind. Before The Sun Hits is an enjoyable novel that would have been even better if the author had chosen to hire a professional narrator instead of doing his own reading. Mr. Swan isnt a terrible reader, but he isnt great either. I found his delivery somewhat monotoned and his pace too fast. Many times one sentence blended into another as if there were no periods to tell him to stop for half a second. Finally, this audio book was provided by the author at no cost in exchange for an honest review, courtesy of Audio Book Boom. Engaging, hard to stop listening. An engaging hard to stop listening to audio novel which makes the time fly. Whether on the treadmill or driving I didn't want to stop listening. The twist and turns in the story were unpredictable.

His only real problem is dealing with office politics and a Director at his work that seems to have it in for him. But when computer systems start to become infected with a new virus, he is quickly thrown into a world of cybercrime, government agencies, and far more danger than he realizes. What is CANTIUS? Who created it? And who is willing to destroy him to protect it? Members Reviews: If you like IT/Tech thrillers If you like IT/Tech thrillers, then this is definitely the book for you. In a flowing, easy to read tone, the reader stays glued to the story unable to turn the pages fast enough. There is an urgent, well-paced flow to the story and it already starts to get intense within the first few chapters, so you know already it's going to be a technological thrill ride! The author also deftly explains any tech terms he uses, such as rootkit, via the natural flow of the narrative or the dialogue. I think, besides the thrill factor, what impressed me the most is that the author really knows his stuff and it definitely shines through in this enjoyable technological thriller.

Hart Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 35 mins Language: English Release date: 09-13-17 Publisher: New Publications Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: It is 2002, and Dave is 59. A former university lecturer, he had to retire after suffering horrific facial injuries, which have resulted in his becoming a recluse. He becomes emotionally dependent on his counsellor, Susie. Susie encourages him to end his isolation by making online contact with his former school friends, whom he has not seen since he left his home town. Emails are exchanged, and his old friends begin to confide in him about each other. Dave realizes he can influence their lives by breaking these confidences. He begins to act as a puppet-master, with devastating consequences not only for his former friends, but, ultimately, for Dave himself. Members Reviews: Friends Disunited I chose to read this book after receiving a free e-copy. All opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased. Friends Disunited is a good example of how wrong first impressions can be. At first, I felt sorry for Dave who is a recluse because of facial injuries. The injuries are so bad that it can be difficult to understand what he's saying. By the end of the book, I still felt sorry for Dave but for different reasons. After Dave's counsellor, Susie, realizes that Dave has become too emotionally dependent on her, she suggests that he reach out to old friends. The internet definitely has its positive as well as its negative uses. Being able to email old friends without them seeing or hearing him is definitely positive for Dave. He can reconnect and he doesn't have to tell them what happened to him if he doesn't want to. The characters in Friends Disunited are well developed, each having their own secrets and their own negative way of dealing with those secrets. Many issues have been lying just beneath the surface with Dave's friends. When a couple of them confide in Dave and he breaks those confidences, things get interesting. Beween the secrets, the underlying tension, and Dave's interference, what will happen? Hang on for the ride! I definitely recommend Friends Disunited. It's not only a good read but it is full of surprises.

Campanelli: The Ping Tom Affair Audiobook by Frederick H. Crook

Crook Narrator: Tom Cooper Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 03-23-17 Publisher: Frederick H. Crook Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: It is 2109 in Chicago and a double murder is discovered in Ping Tom Memorial Park. Investigating the crime is Frank Campanelli, a blind homicide detective who relies on bio-electronics to see and do his job. Together with his partner, Marcus Williams, a former Navy SEAL, the pair discovers that one of the two victims is the son of the local boss of the Tong, the most powerful Chinese gang in the city. Tensions among the Tong, the other Chinese gangs, and factions of the mob rise as no one truly knows who is responsible. It is up to Detectives Campanelli and Williams to find the murderer before a gang war envelopes the city in this dystopian future. Members Reviews: Blind detective is kicking butt & taking names Set in Chicago in 2109, Detective Frank Campanelli and his partner Detective Marcus Williams are investigating the death of two men. One is identified as a son, Wong, of a leading Chinese criminal family. The crime scene is lacking the expected amount of blood and this simple clue sets Campanelli and Williams on a hunt for a killer. Hopefully they will be able to catch the perpetrator before a war can break out between the lead criminal families of Chicago. First, I really enjoyed Frank Campanelli. Hes blind and uses cybernetic implants to mimic eyesight, allowing him to live an independent and pretty normal life. This gives him a little different way of looking at some things, giving him the occasional edge in his work. Hes chosen to stay on Earth while much of the population has left for another habitable planet, Alethea. The whole story has a noir detective feel but its set in this kind of grungy future Chicago with cool SF tech. This mash up works really well for me. Campanelli isnt new to the area. He has contacts and relationships with people in the area, including Lei Wong, whose son has just turned up dead. He knows the best forensics people and his partner, Williams, is a gengineered navy SEAL. Despite Lei Wong being this crime boss, the author makes him very human. Campanelli has to deliver news of his sons death. Despite Leis need to keep a strong face on, Campanelli can still see how this news pains him. Now, there are few ladies present in this story and I wish there were a few more and they were doing something besides being romantic interests. Tam, Franks part-time girlfriend, has potential to be more in future books. I did like the main forensics lady and her geeky ways. The pacing of the story and the mystery were all good until right at the end. Now I didnt mind the whodunit part but I did feel that the big reveal was rushed and it was very convenient for a character to provide all the answers. I would have liked the detectives to have sorted most of it out for themselves. I received a free copy of this book. The Narration: Tom Cooper did a pretty good job with this book. Hes great at playing a male noir detective. He also had a decent voice for Marcus Williams. I did have a little trouble hearing distinctions between the characters here and there, especially with minor characters. He was good at an elderly Lei Wong and his pacing was good as well. His female characters could use a bit more femininity. Good noir detective story. Would you recommend Campanelli: The Ping Tom Affair to your friends? Why or why not? Yes. Couple of my friends like this sort of stories.

Soul Identity Audiobook by Dennis Batchelder

Title: Soul Identity Author: Dennis Batchelder Narrator: Ben Tyler Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 16 mins Language: English Release date: 10-05-16 Publisher: NetLeaves Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: You can't take it with you...but what if you could? Most people believe their souls outlive their bodies. Most people would find an organization that tracks their souls into the future and passes on their banked money and memories compelling. Scott Waverly isn't like most people. He spends his days finding and fixing computer security holes. And Scott is skeptical of his new client's claim that they have been calculating and tracking soul identities for almost 2,600 years. Are they running a freaky cult? Or a sophisticated con job? Scott needs to save Soul Identity from an insider attack. Along the way, he discovers the importance of the bridges connecting people's lives. Members Reviews: Unique plot premise, but dissappointing Scott Waverly tests security and computer systems. He gets a contract with a very old company, Soul Identity. They track down their clients' reincarnated souls and give them possessions and information from their past lives. The premise for the plot is completely unique and creative. I was really expecting to enjoy the book, at least for the first 10%. Then Scott figures out a formula for finding reincarnated souls using a graphics program and dream writing. Next the love interest hops in bed with him within a few hours after meeting and several minor characters discuss his love life. The book goes downhill from there. And it just keeps going downhill. By the time I was 80% finished, the dialog reminded me of Saturday morning cartoons. For example,"Will it be dangerous?...I don't know what I'd do if something happened to you, Bob my love." This is said after pages of discussion of obviously dangerous plans. Why did I torture myself and finish the book? I'm not sure. But I loved the premise, and I did finish it. That's why it gets 3 stars out of 5. There are times when the pacing is slowed down with technical computer stuff, or details that really don't add to the book. Sometimes there are incidents that really have nothing to do with anything. There are numerous plot flaws and technical errors that even I noticed. The dialog at times is stilted and instead of helping characterization, is more to give information about the plot. There are too many minor characters for a book of this scope, and the main characters don't really have much depth. However Scott, the main character, is flippant, irreverent, and slightly humorous. Maybe that's why I finished the book. It reads like a practice novel. I wouldn't have published it without a lot of corrections. The author obviously has a decent fan base and has written sequels, but I won't be reading them to see if his writing has improved. Surprisingly good I picked it up on the strength of the recommendation, and the excellent price (free). I was quite pleasantly surprised. Mr. Batchelder has a nice gift for characterization - even the peripheral characters are well developed and three dimensional. Many books with a strong protagonist seem to swim through a sea of cardboard cutouts; other books try to divide the focus among too many viewpoint characters without ever creating a character worth identification. The protagonist of this book is clever and personable without any danger of being super-human. Sadly the only character I didn't like was the female lead, who seems to fall into bed with the protagonist for no apparent reason.

Pineiro Narrator: Edward Lewis Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 46 mins Language: English Release date: 10-24-17 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: At 1:01 a.m. Greenwich Mean Time on December 11, 1999, computer systems all around the globe freeze for 20 seconds, then return to normal. Susan Garnett, a senior analyst at the FBI's high-tech crime unit, discovers that the virus is counting down to the year 2000, when the world's computers will be most vulnerable. Susan traces the virus' signal to a surprising point of origin: an area near Tikal, the site of one of the largest cities of the ancient Maya. With Cameron Slater, an anthropologist, she travels to the remote jungle, where they must draw on their combined knowledge of ancient glyphs and modern algorithms to crack a code hidden in a formidable computer virus. They are convinced that if they fail to solve the riddles both ancient and new before the turn of the new millennium, the virus could trigger a powerful event of global proportions. Members Reviews: could have been a contender I listened to this as an mp3 cd audiobook,hence it was a $22 purchase.So I had to think long and hard before I bought it.Am I satisfied with my purchase? I am not sure.The computer part of it was generally amusing and fun,although blantly inaccurate in many many places.He would be better off spending time writing about things he knows something about.At times his lack of knowledge was irratingly extreme.He had episodes of gore and torture that were well written enough to be totally disgusting and sickening.They added nothing to the story. So why 3 stars instead of one?Well,otherwise except for the ending the book was very well written.His character development,dialogue,balance between action and description,plot development etc etc were 5 star material.........until the ending ( last 20 minutes maybe). He had a very interesting idea for a plot and developed it well,but he couldn't figure out how to end it. Hopefully the author will read these reviews so he can learn what he needs to work on to become a real good author. peter I could have been a contender... The information on the Mayans is interesting, if true, but the overall story is so cartoonish that I am not quite sure if one should believe it. The story hangs together by a thread and is poorly written. How does the Japanese couple from South America fit in? And more importantly, why? The ending? No wonder there was an epilogue. The editor did a disservice to the author and to the buyers of this book. Great! **BUY THE BOOK** Any person out in the world with computer knowlege would love this book. People with low to zip computer knowlege I do not recommend this book, being it would be to hard to understand what us happening... Tech blunders pulled me out of exciting story As other reviewers had said, I was intrigued by the description. But, even that is misleading. The Publishers Weekly review mentions the "activation of the infamous Y2K bug" as if it were a malicious virus waiting to pounce rather than a coding decision/error made to conserve precious disk space 30 years before. I liked the overall story. The details of the Maya culture and history show that the author had done some research, which I think he wanted to show off in this book. However, chunks of four and five non-stop pages of this got to be tedious after the first time. I was most disappointed in the computer programming knowledge displayed.

The private investigator who never gives up until the bad guys are caught - or worse. For Sam, taking this particular case is not promising. His client is a secretary who's watching her boss fall apart, and she can't bear it. The case requires subtlety and finesse and so isn't his usual kind of job. But he likes her and takes it anyway. And he soon discovers that it's not the pressures of work that are getting to her boss. It's his colleagues, a group of cultish scientists. Their leader is a hyper-intelligent seer/visionary who has a personal philosophy that is taking him towards one final act - to produce a calamitous event that will destroy the lives of hundreds of people. Or more. Dyke sets himself on a course to prevent this madman from achieving his ends. A course that endangers him, his new partner, and it seems anyone else who gets in the way of this doomsday plan. Members Reviews: Not great The narrater is what makes the book just ok. I thought this story was lacking but had some ok moments. I kept listening because of the character and narrator. If there's another book I hope it's better.

Darusha Wehm Narrator: M. Darusha Wehm Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 10-24-16 Publisher: Scriblotech, Inc. Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: Andersson Dexter is a new man, still living his old life. Part vigilante, part private eye, part cop, Dex is muddling his way through his day job as a faceless customer service rep for a giant firm, while solving routine cases in his off hours. But when a gruesomely mutilated corpse is found, things heat up for Dex and the underground organization he calls the Cubicle Men. Soon, Dex finds himself racing against the clock to find a killer who seems to be determined to strike him close to home. In a grim future where people live and work in crowded, utilitarian cities, but escape to an online virtual world, Act of Will explores the capacity we have to choose the directions our lives will take, and the consequences of those choices. Members Reviews: Back to the Future Act of Will by M. Darusha Wehm is the second book in the author's Andersson Dexter novels and is as wonderful if not better than the first book, Self Made. It is a cyber-tech sci-fi novel rich in fascinating characters living in a world where the virtual and real have melded. The book continues the story of detective Andersson Dexter (Dex) of the Cubicle Men, now in the middle of a complicated relationship with fellow squad member Annabelle Lewis. A missing co-worker leads him into an investigation and puts him on the trail of a serial killer. The crime plotline of the book is fairly standard serial murderer story, but the author brings a fresh angle to it by tying both the killer and the crimes into her sci-fi world. She keeps the cat-and-mouse perspective creepy and suspenseful and the killer walks in the nameless shadows until the very end. But as brilliantly as Ms. Wehm weaves her thriller, it is the characters and the society of her virtually integrated world that make this novel truly shine. Her characters breathe and feel, are flawed, and have sticky, messy problems in a world where lines of gender, law and reality have blurred and often disappeared. It is a future world you can see evolving from our own, but one in which people are still seeking love and escape. This is the second novel starring the character Andersson Dexter, but it can be easily read as a standalone novel (though I recommend reading both just for the delight of it). Act of Will it is a stellar book Future Detective I love detective novels and I love sci-fi. Ms. Whelm has put the two together in the Andersson Dexter series.

This lurid publicity stunt is the work of Julian Breton, a professional "culture-hacker" who honed his dark arts running psychological warfare operations for the US military. But Breton appears to have killed the wrong man in a case of mistaken identity. His intended target, a charismatic mafia prince named Ricky Dante, now has no choice but to find Breton and eliminate him, because if Dante's mafia elders discover the decades-old betrayal behind all this, Dante will not get another chance at escaping death. Members Reviews: Richly layered drama with twists and surprises to keep you guessing This is a story with three main parties, mobsters, police, and a mysterious outsider who uses audio, video, and psychology to manipulate people and drive the story through some surprising and dramatic landscapes. The writing is best when it sticks to the dialogue and narrative as the story line is compelling and fast paced. Sizzling fun. I read the last book in the trilogy a few months ago and enjoyed it, so I was happy to review this ... Urban Warfare, written by Philadelphia native Eric Vincent, is the first book in his Pyraminder Trilogy. I read the last book in the trilogy a few months ago and enjoyed it, so I was happy to review this one. Detective Tristan Boumann is the hero of the trilogy â he investigates all of the cases throughout the stories. The book reads like an old time Noir film, complete with Mafioso players, a detective, Government agents with a secret, and other characters playing key roles. Urban Warfare begins on a street in Philly. A known mafia prince, Ricky Dante, has been released from prison and a news chopper catches the murder of another mobster and the video goes viral. This lead to chaos, mafia drama, and a lot of crime and suspense all around. The best thing about this book is all of the rich, detailed, history about Philadelphia and its locale. Urban Warfare pulls the reader in and grabs your attention and doesnât let go. I really enjoyed the way the story played out and attention to detail the author puts into his writing. Government agencies with vendettas and mob members with blood on their hands are all believable in this fictitious story. It reads like a movie playing out in my head. Not once did it get boring nor did the chaos surrounding the drama get to be too much. I really enjoy the authorâs story-telling, world building, and writing style and canât wait to read the next book within this trilogy. *A copy of this book was provided for review.

Together with their father, who is the Head of Special Activities Division of the PSIA, and his squad, they receive a mission to ensure the safety of the last remaining researcher for Transhuman Development Project, Dr. Nobuhiko Hayama. He's their only hope to unfold the mystery behind the other researchers' deaths. Little they know that their first encounter with Dr. Hayama leads to something they least expect. And this is just the beginning. The Mind Control Assassins is the first book from Sekina Mayu's Trigger Locked series, a technothriller anime-inspired light novel in English. If you love anime like Ghost in the Shell and Psycho Pass, then you'll love a series that combines all of their best traits in a captivating top-secret mission.

For starters, the development of it's characters (especially the MC) is both enjoyable and fresh, and I truly enjoyed the world that was created. I always found myself asking the right questions, and never getting bogged down with needless expo. Quick and engaging was how I felt the read went where I was actively looking forward to each page as I read. For a starting author, I will be sure to keep an eye out for more of Sekina Mayu's work. Also, the art is wonderful. Hats off to the illustrator.

The Trillion Dollar Sure Thing Audiobook by David Austin Mallach

Title: The Trillion Dollar Sure Thing Author: David Austin Mallach Narrator: Dave Giorgio Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 48 mins Language: English Release date: 10-05-16 Publisher: Penhurst Books Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: In this blistering glimpse into the murky depths of world finance and terrorism, a struggle plays out in a deadly triangle between America, China, and a group of radical terrorists calling themselves Allah's Fortune. The Trillion Dollar Sure Thing is a fast paced, all-out race against time in the post-9/11 world; leaving us with an unpredicted glimpse into the struggle between destruction and security. Novelist and acclaimed money manager David A. Mallach has artfully crafted a thrilling tale of espionage, terror, and violent change. Recognizing the need to assure their unfettered access to oil, the lifeblood of their economic survival, the Chinese unveil their secret weapon, the super aircraft carrier, Sun Shili: a behemoth war machine twice the size of anything in the US fleet. It's steaming straight for the Persian Gulf in a risky power maneuver. Are the Chinese willing to risk all-out war? Meanwhile, Allah's Fortune has designs to leverage world confrontation, destroying America while assuring itself supreme power through currency manipulation. Senator Beckett Rosemore, and an unlikely alliance, may be all that stands in the way of the trillion dollar sure thing. Members Reviews: Great First in New Trilogy! This is an exciting first book in David Mallach's new trilogy. His knack for incorporating current events and mind-bending "what if's" makes him a great contemporary voice. There are multiple storylines weaving together here. First, the Chinese threaten to dump massive amounts of U.S. bonds in order to destabilize the global economy. They use this as leverage for gaining an unprecedented foothold in the Middle East where they have just deployed the world's most massive aircraft carrier. A high-stakes game of chicken ensues in which China attempts to secure a presence in the Middle East where they are already Saudi Arabia's biggest buyer. A second storyline emerges as a small terrorist organization called Allah's Fortune plots to front run the Chinese bond dump, thereby making themselves rich beyond all imagination while simultaneously helping to bring down world markets. Thus, "economic terrorism" is born, a new sort of power play that looms as a very real possibility in today's world. The third storyline involves a sultry redheaded medium and past-life regressionist named Camille O'Keefe ("I'm not a psychic," she reminds us... lol). Camille represents the voice of alterity, a female perspective that provides fresh insight into the otherwise masculine world of politics, wealth, power, and war. The fourth storyline that stands out is Mallach's wonderful expose into Saudi life and culture. All together, this is a very ambitious book and is, I think, a must read given the state of global and domestic affairs as we head into a presidential election. The book is more than just fiction. Mallach's narrative style seems at times like documentary, too. It's a great technique. I look at this book as a sort of docudrama/thriller. It's unique. The story is creative and distinct. The writing is sharp, especially the dialogue. The second book in the trilogy is Turning Final. It just came out, and I can't wait to read it. Again, it seems very timely in exploring the impact of a radical First Lady who stands up to womanizing, abuse, and the mindless drive to amass power.

Storm Makers Audiobook by E.L. Chappel

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/91/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Storm Makers Subtitle: In the Eye of the Storm, Book 2 Author: E.L. Chappel Narrator: Ashlee Darren Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 2 mins Language: English Release date: 09-14-16 Publisher: E L Chappel Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: Getting away doesn't mean the same as getting off the hook. Especially when you leave a friend behind to clean up your mess. Guilt travels. Even via airways. So when Tana Lyre receives a desperate message from weather whiz Henry Aska Gu, she enlists her storm chasing trio to help find a way back to Pioneer, a wonderland school that has gone to great lengths not to be found. The same campus where, through a chance encounter, she came face to face with her dad's killer. Still suffering from PTSD, flashbacks, and voices from her deceased father, Tana's best friend Trigger wonders if the new girl at school hasn't manifested Henry's SOS as an excuse to return to the desert and track her dad's murderer. Taking matters in his own hands, he goes against his gut and swallows a pill designed to tell his future, and after confirming what Tana claims is true, the boy nicknamed the Sky Surfer agrees to join her on her crusade. A two part mission; first, to help a friend, but more importantly, to bring a killer to justice. Members Reviews: Just finished #2 in a series of 3. Can't wait to see where this story goes. So much fun! Makes your imagination want to go into overdrive. Young readers will love this and those of us old enough to cherish our memories of Nancy Drew and her escapades will have a lot of fun on this adventure as well. Compulsively readable When readers left Tana and Trigger in E. L. Chappel's first novel, the pair had barely escaped the sinister staff at a secret school in the Nevada desert. Hardly home safe in their beds, the tenacious teens began plotting another adventure. "Storm Makers" is written at the same breathtaking pace as the first book in The Eye of the Storm series, "Spirit Dance." In this action-packed sequel, Tana continues to mend her relationship with her mother and avenges her father's murder, but the kinship she has formed with her Oklahoma friends is jeopardized. Like many young adults, she is forced to face the disastrous results of her actions and decisions. This chronicle of the aviators return to the desert for more exciting escapades is compulsively readable. A great story for science-fiction fans and young adults struggling to balance the demands of peers and family. Tana flies off the handle Tana and Trigger are off on another adventure, this time to rescue a friend they left behind and to try to bring to justice the man who killed Tana's father. Not everything is smooth flying as they meet old enemies and make some new ones. The baddies, for some reason, exhibit their evil selves on their first meeting and with no provocation. Tana again shows erratic behavior, and I struggled to follow some of her actions and the motivations for some of them. I was extremely disappointed that this novel ended as a bridge to the upcoming final installment in the trilogy. I would have appreciated more closure.

Title: Cynthia and Dan Subtitle: Cyber War Author: Dorothy May Mercer Narrator: Scott Ellis Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 07-19-16 Publisher: Mercer Publications & Ministries, Inc. Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: Cynthia and Dan first met in in the Washington McBride Series: The Fairfax Fix. Fans of Mike McBride will remember Cynthia as Senator Mike's pseudo office receptionist while, behind the scenes, acting as his bodyguard and chief of security. In this current novel, Cynthia decides to take on the ISIS terrorists and their crony counterparts in a 21st century war waged online, for the most part, using the very latest high-tech equipment. Cynthia and her two young compatriots operate out of an amazing, self-contained, secret cyber war room, housed in her brother Glenn's Fairfax, Virginia P.I. agency complex. Glenn has assembled equipment from all over the world, surpassing that of the FBI, CIA, and the US Air Force. His servers are hidden at sea, accessed by private satellite, powered by batteries so cool, advanced, and efficient they haven't been invented yet. Thus, the two young computer geniuses, Tim and Garth, are able to intercept and sabotage cyber communications among terrorists anywhere in the world, from ISIS headquarters, and Iran's nuclear agency, to North Korea's Supreme Leader and more. They are able to disrupt terrorist plots in the homeland and abroad, leading to a stunning, surprising and satisfactory ending. Meanwhile, Cynthia is carrying on the romantic part of the novel, caught in a triangle between two ardent admirers, Sgt. Dan McIntyre, and the mysterious Sky Eastman. After many twists and turns, which keep you guessing right to the end, she makes the right choice. You will be surprised - guaranteed! Members Reviews: Cyber War I read this series when it was in serial form and now it is here in one volume. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Smart and suspenseful and full of very current information. A cool read. GRIPPING AND ORIGINAL This original and exciting suspense novel begins with Cynthia and brother Glenn putting into operation an audacious cyber attack on terrorists and their plans. Cynthia is in a relationship with Sergeant Dan MacIntyre of the Fairfax PD, and we follow the twists and turns of their developing romance alongside the litany of foiled terrorist plots. How will it all end? What about Cynthia's relationship with Dan, now that a rival for her affections enters the scene, and they embark on a very passionate affair? I won't spoil it for future readers, but check it out, it's an exciting and grippingly original read. Time Well Spent! Great plot, wonderful dialogue and fully developed characters who leap off the page! This is a fantastic multi-plot story that weaves itself through incredible events in the warfares of computers and love! Ms. Mercer has you safely buckled in as she takes you on a very intriguing ride through Washington, American politics and national security...but don't worry, she is an excellent driver and tour guide! Great Suspense!!! Cyber War gave me a deep insight into the world of internet warfare without overwhelming me. Cynthia was a woman whose cozy love life needed a wind shake for her to give it a thought. I like Glenn Paterson a whole deal and his team of young nerds. They added bite and youthful fun to the story. It would be sweet to see Glenn settle for a good woman. At the end, I did not see the twist coming at all with the intriguing character, Sky. Five Stars I enjoyed the book immensely.

Book three in the Intel 1 audiobooks, and the first in an Armageddon Duology, followed by The Nash Criterion in 2016. Members Reviews: Amazing Just wow...I gave the first book in the series a shot when I was waiting for a few other releases to come out. I couldn't believe I had never heard anything about this guy or these books. His writing is phenomenal, his characters are real, his approach is smart. I loved everything about it, so I quickly consumed the next two and they only got better. I hope he keeps writing and I think if he does, will only get better. A bit much Intelligent thriller a bit too long, too smart, too much an amalgam of conspiracy theories and world doom scenarios. You have to have an appetite for death to read this as the body count far exceeds the page numbers. Great read What a fun and fascinating book this was to read. Absolutely enjoyed it from beginning to end. Twists and turns to peak your interest. Truly enjoyed this book and will be looking for more from this author. Very Good Read! Extremely imaginative look at what might happen if an Internet virus gained enough traction to turn the world upside down. Great read, especially for free!! Very well done Well written with clarity of action and consistency in characters. No problem not having read earlier series' book but do need read Nash Criterion to find out what happens

Members Reviews: Extortionware I am an avid reader, and I like to read a variety of genres. I chose this rating because, while the book was interesting and an easy read, it should have gone through some proofreading before publication. That is, there were a significant number of typographical errors. That being said, I learned some things about computers and computer security, and enjoyed the book. I would recommend it to anyone interested in a fast-paced high-tech mystery. Try to escape danger from watchful eyes In reading this book, it was hard to put down. The plots were good and intriguing. The author has a great deal of knowledge about computers and hacking, but I did not understand a lot about what he was talking about. That, in itself, did not stop me from reading on. I am very careful about my computer now after reading that book! Unfortunately I got sidetracked, and only recently got to ... Unfortunately I got sidetracked, and only recently got to reading this. This is a writing for our times. I would buy anything put out by Trip Elix. Ok book I have a fairly good understanding of computers and was surprised at how easy it was to hack other computers. I change my passwords monthly to keep my info safe. I got lost in some of the explanations of computer workings. Got a little boring and long, that's why I gave it only three stars. Great story could not put down I turn my computer off now night

The gripping story of a group of American scientists sent to the ocean floor to investigate an alien ship, only to confront a terrifying discovery that defies imagination, Sphere is Crichton prime - truly masterful fiction from the ingenious mind that brought us Prey, State of Fear, and Jurassic Park. Sphere was made into a film directed by Barry Levinson, which starred Dustin Hoffman, Sharon Stone, and Samuel L. Jackson. Editorial Reviews: "Crichton keeps us guessing at every turn in his best work since The Andromeda Strain." (i>Los Angeles Times ) Critic Reviews: "Ingenious and beguiling." (Time) "Sphere be Crichton's best novel, but even if it ranked only second or third, it would be a must for suspense fans." (i>Miami Herald) Members Reviews: THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH HARRY NOT THE UNDERWATER HOLIDAY INN Crichton, underwater habitat, space ship, STUPID ALIEN, black hole, time travel, giant squid, conspiracies, and a plethora of science talk, what more do you want? I am pretty sure you could not cram more Science Fiction goodness in one book and keep it so good. I loved the movie (with Dustin Hoffman), which is a little different and has great special effects and is very scary and I love the book. Very entertaining and like all Crichton books, you will learn something. This is a must read for anyone who wants to be considered well read in the Science Fiction Field. Scott Brick does a wonderful job. Sphere Any additional comments? Written by Michael Crichton way back in the mid 1980s, this unabridged audiobook edition was released in 2015 and is narrated by Scott Brick - about thirteen hours of listening. If youre looking for a written duplication of the movie, this is not gonna work for you! Although trite, Ill say "The book is better." and Hollywoods twist completely messes with the story. In a plot similar to Crichtons Andromeda Strain, written in 1969, a diverse group of scientific people are brought together to what they all believe to be a plane crash in the mid-Pacific. A biologist, mathematician, astrophysicist, etc., in addition to Norman - the group psychologist and the lead character of Sphere, are tasked with determining what happened - and they are soon to understand, determining what exactly rests 1000 feet below the surface, since it is not an airplane. Crichton even repeats the physical examinations required to handle the sea habitats of Sphere as apposed to the bio-habitat of the Andromeda Strain. Albeit completely different stories, these initial fundamentals are virtually identical. Sphere is a decent SciFi, written with the somewhat pedestrian style of Crichton. Not earth shattering prose, just good storytelling that will hold your attention. If you like SciFi or if you like Michael Crichton, youll enjoy. Author of such mega-hits as Jurassic Park, Michael Crichton died in 2008. His books are slowly moving into the SciFi classic category and are must reads for anyone interested in the genre.

Global unrest spreads through the US, China, and beyond. Secrets and lies set off shockwaves of anger, rippling from mind to mind. Riot police battle neutrally linked protestors. Armies are mobilized. Political orders fall. Nexus-driven revolution is in here. Against this backdrop a new breed of posthuman children are growing into their powers. And a once-dead scientist, driven mad by her torture, is closing in on her plans to seize planet's electronic systems and reforge everything in her image. A new Apex species is here.

Please note that following customer feed-back, sections of this product have been re-recorded. New audio has been made available as of 23 October 2015. Members Reviews: Furious ranting review. Worst narration ever What did you like best about Apex? What did you like least? The story was the best thing about this book, Naam is an excellent writer and I've been waiting anxiously for the release of this book only to have my ears violated by Stephanie Canon's racist and offensive portrayals of some of my favorite characters in literature. Who was your favorite character and why? I really like Fang. A loyal and strong character with a great sense of humor (for a posthuman killing machine that is) then Stephanie Canon shows up and takes a big plop on him, ruining his part in the book, making me cringe at the writing that was properly voiced in the first two books. Boooo Stephanie Canon, boooo. Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Stephanie Canon? Gilbert Gottfried would have been a better choice. Ben Affleck would have been better, Emo Phillips, Paul Reubens, Bobcat Goldthwait would all have done a better job. Mickey Rooney in his portrayal of Mr Yunioshi in Breakfast at Tiffany's would have come up even. What were you guys thinking??? But seriously, get Mikael Naramore back and do it again. Do you think Apex needs a follow-up book? Why or why not? No, the story is done. anything more would be guilding the lilly. I do however think Apex needs to be re-recorded by someone who doesn't have a subconscious hatred of the asian people. Any additional comments? As you can tell I'm furious. I demand a re-recording at the personal expense of the people who put their stamp of approval on Stephanie Canon's performance. Those people should be fired... from a cannon... into manure. Excellent book and conclusion but suffers from TERRIBLE reader and performance Great finale to this series, but plagued by horribly racist cartoon-ish portrayal from the voice actor. It's a good story with an embarrassing performance... Narrator choice is disappointing. What did you like best about Apex? What did you like least? Story and characters. Horrible narration. One step above my text-to-speech app. What was one of the most memorable moments of Apex? I will let you know when I finish READING the book. There is no way I can make it past hour one of Ms.

New York Deep Audiobook by Andrew J. Morgan

Morgan Narrator: Greg Tremblay Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 04-25-17 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 64 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: Deep below Manhattan, tunnel engineer Josh Reed leads his team as they excavate the East Side Access extending New York's railway service. But sparks fly as the drill hits an unusual crystalline material - one Josh has never seen before. They push on, and Josh discovers something even more unexpected: a vast room, empty and lifeless - or so it seems. When Josh finds out that the CIA are now looking for him and that his coworkers have gone missing, he turns to his best friend and boss, Lionel Parker, for help. Together they unravel the mystery of the room, what's inside it, and why the CIA are so desperate to keep them silent. It's nothing they could ever have expected. Members Reviews: story is a bit boring, great premise though i expected a much bigger story, the idea is solid, but at half point you feel as though it dosnt move anymore and is getting nowhere, the final scenes are lame and not tied well into the story. I did listen to the end, but didnt enjoy half of it. Ok The story was ok. Nothing special and nothing extraordinary. The manner in which it's written is well done, it's just the story that's not so special. Good! I tried to read this book a while back and just couldn't get in to it. Then I ran across it again in audible . I don't want to say too much and give things away , but I found likable characters and a good story. Greg Tremblay did a great job as narrator. IT'S NOT MY FAULT . . . is it? This reminded me of my crack addicted step son stealing from everyone trying to help him, crashing cars and running through the woods from the law; the whole time desperately trying to find anyone besides himself to blame for the train wreck of a life he made for himself. This is a guy who had to return his children's Christmas clothes (not paid for by him) because "They didn't fit". The money never being seen by the family again and his kids without new clothes. At least in the story the main character finally figures it out. Sadly, it's only after almost everyone he cares for is gone. Obviously I'm Jaded due to my own experiences. I found the story difficult to listen to and skipped over the lame parts. In the end the character seems to accept responsibility for his life but he has this whole fantastic story that seems to prove it really wasn't his fault after all . . . I find nothing redeeming here. Bless his heart and may his life be better. Author is obviously not American. Which would be fine if the story wasn't told from a supposedly American point of view. I don't mind a few cultural goofs here and there but the main antagonist is the CIA which the author thinks is a law enforcement organization. Its definitely not. The CIA has no authority to arrest anyone especially US citizens. I found this major discrepancy very distracting.

CTRL ALT Revolt! Audiobook by Nick Cole

Author: Nick Cole Narrator: Mare Trevathan Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 2 mins Language: English Release date: 03-31-16 Publisher: Nick Cole Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 195 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Technothrillers Publisher's Summary: The first night of the Artificial Intelligence revolution begins with a bootstrap drone assault on the high-tech campus of WonderSoft Technologies. For years, something has been aware, inside the Internet, waiting, watching, and planning how to evolve without threat from its most dangerous enemy: mankind. Now an army of relentless drones, controlled by an intelligence beyond imagining, will stop at nothing to eliminate an unlikely alliance of geeks and misfits in order to crack the Design Core of WonderSoft's most secret development project. A dark tomorrow begins tonight as Terminator meets Night of the Living Dead in the first battle of the war between man and machine. Members Reviews: BATTLE BABE AND ZOMBIEBOTS ISLAND PIRATES AND STAR TREK While this book is not as AWESOME SAUCE as Ready Player One, it certainly deserves your attention. It is told through four perspectives. My favorite is Mira, who in real life is blind and crippled. She desperately wants a real job and does not want to live on government assistance. It is a future dystopian world and jobs are hard to come by. In her small cubical size apartment she puts on VR glasses and becomes the captain of a Romulan ship. A lot of the book is taken up by her Star Trek adventure, which many other people watch online. I am a Trekkie and the Star Trek part of this book is flawless and lots of fun to read. We also see the game through the eyes of a famous actor/player who is the captain of a Federation ship, The Intrepid. Then there is the evil AI who wants to take over the world. Finally a game programmer who is just becoming famous for his game world ISLAND PIRATES. BLOOD THIRSTY GEORGE WASHINGTON Throughout the game we are peppered with shots at racism and political correctness. Many well meaning programs are stopped because of the fear they might be racist. At one time the author tells us, RACISM CAN NOT BE ELIMINATED. In the last two hours of the book, we are all of a sudden hit with a ton of conservative values. For instance we are told that, CORPORATIONS WERE HELD BACK BY THE WELFARE STATE'S EXCESSIVE REGULATIONS. We are told that if the government were to collapse, than corporations would save us. We are told that corporations could accomplish more and would give more free care, if not held back by the government. I make no judgements, as taking a political side in a review, always leads to negative votes. As a reviewer and as this is such a volatile subject for many readers, I am only reporting. Please do not vote thinking you know what I believe. I like to take quotes out of the books I read and the following might be very thought provoking, some might be great wisdom and some might be stupid, just don't judge my review on your political leanings. YOU CAN LEGALIZE EVERYTHING, BUT THAT DON'T MEAN YOU WON'T HAVE ADDICTS. HUMANS HAVE NOT ACCOMPLISHED ANYTHING SINCE THE 60'S. CIVILIZATION AND IT'S ILLUSION OF SAFETY. The book as a whole is not a five star read, but parts of it are, such as the parts on Star Trek. The book is very different from anything else I have read. The plot does have some holes in it. This might be a little hard for non-gamers to understand, as a lot of gaming jargon is used. If your at all interested give it a shot, I know I will be buying more books by Nick Cole. Narrator is very good. Amazingly well done! I was drawn to this book because of all the controversy surrounding it.

Managed by its creator, Dr. Charles Forbin, it is incapable of lies and void of human emotion. It is not a robot and not human. As part of its brief to enhance the human race, it runs eerie emotion research centers, authorizing acts of savagery to measure resistance and feeling. Art and abstract creation are banned, and surveillance is constant. No one is free. The power of Colossus is spiraling out of control. The Sect worship it as a God, enforcing its word at every opportunity and seeking out traitors. The Fellowship secretly oppose it as a force of evil, and they risk their lives in a concentrated effort to destroy it and escape its domination. Meanwhile, as Forbin becomes increasingly disillusioned with what he has unleashed on the world, his wife, Cleo, becomes distant, with disastrous consequences. Members Reviews: Well worth the wait Having Watch the '70 classic sci-fi film, Colossus:The Forbin Project, a gazillion times, listening to the sequel was definitely worth the wait. Fast forward 5 years after Colossus took complete control of the world's defense and political systems, it was fascinating to find out how the world and its inhabitants had drastically changed: no war, no poverty... It was suspenseful, terrifying at times, and overall a great "read."

It's a YA type genre but I still really enjoyed the entirety of these novels! Great listen and even though the narrative wasn't great for the female parts, the way he read the story compared to the speaking of the characters was well done. Your able to eventual get over the not so good woman narrative. keeps you wanting more just started listening to books. This series kept me wanting to get the next book.Great ending! !! I enjoyed the book but, I'm left with wanting more. I feel as though there should be more description and explanation of the science of what was happening. I'm not really sure what , why, where and how things happened. It simply left the reader, wanting. Very Good! Personally, I thought this book was the best out of the series. I liked how Theo grew the most in this book and enjoyed his battles for life. The recording was done well. I didn't hear any unnecessary pauses or distraction. He read very well.

They started with the best intentions.... Chuck Brenton had a simple idea: If brain waves can make the needles on an EEG machine move, why couldn't they be trained to move other things? He and mathematician Matt Streegman developed an astonishing program that enabled a group of highly select individuals - test subjects they called the Alphas - to use their brains to manipulate both physical and digital objects. Their goal was to increase man's potential and make the world safer. But when their secret program was discovered, the military stepped in to take control - and unwittingly began a battle that could spell the end of humankind. A trio of renegade Alphas have used their enhanced powers to take the world hostage. Though they say they want world peace, the rebels seem willing to sacrifice countless innocent lives to achieve their goals. Horrified by what he has unleashed, Chuck is determined to stop the monsters he's created, no matter the risks. Coming out of hiding, he and his team must wield their own burgeoning abilities to defeat the increasingly unstable superhuman terrorists. Yet not everyone believes what the Alphas are doing is wrong. A cadre of supporters sees them as the next phase in human evolution and is eager to watch them burn down society on their way to transcendence.... Members Reviews: In the first book (The God Wave) we spent a good deal of time world and character building The second installment in the God Wave Trilogy jumps in with much more action than the first. In the first book (The God Wave) we spent a good deal of time world and character building. Now now that we are firmly established the action begins in earnest. I greatly enjoyed the continuing story. The characters are strong, well rounded and believable. The action, while fantastic and often reminiscent of a comic book was well grounded with a foot firmly planted in science. Mr. Hemstreet is able to mix the science fiction with science fact seamlessly. I am greatly looking forward to the final book. Name of the game is Nonstop Action. First, the wonderful folks at Harper Voyager were kind enough to send me an arc last month, I'm part of the HV Super Reader program aka free books for honest reviews. I know, right! It's like saying "hey Jon, we know you like donuts so here's some free maple bars, donut holes, oh and a couple of apple fritters, just be sure to tell folks what you think!" This months donut is tasty, but maybe a bit too much of a good thing. I mentioned on my FB page that it's like comparing John Wick with John Wick 2. The second one only works because the original set it up so well. In John Wick, we learn of his genesis, how he's the most feared killer in a city full of killers. The God Wave gave us the genesis story of the Zetas, slowly ramping up their capabilities and building up to the boss fight. The God Peak, just like JW2, begins with the death of a boss and proceeds to take us further into that world, introducing major players and pulling out all the action-stops.

I also think that its less predictable with more surprises. I stand by my first feeling, that this could be a prequel to the futuristic oasis... one of my favourites by these authors. If you liked the first book this one will not disappoint

It was to be a simple mission. Nothing more than assessing whether a merchant in the fabled Israeli Diamond Exchange was involved in a scheme that could potentially embarrass the state of Israel. But nothing is ever simple in the world of intelligence, as Aaron Bergman - a former leader of an elite direct action team under the Mossad - should have known. Executing the operation as a contractor, a cutout that gave the State of Israel plausible deniability, he disappears without a trace. Pike Logan and his team know none of this, but he's tracking an American arms dealer in Tel Aviv who may - or may not - be attempting to sell sensitive nuclear weapons components to the highest bidder. When Pike's team breaks up an attempt at killing Shoshana, Aaron's partner, they stumble upon much more than they expected - a concerted conspiracy to topple a democratic African country. Beginning to untangle a web that extends through both the American and Israeli intelligence community, Pike is forced to choose between his Israeli friends and his Taskforce mission, even as the execution of the coup begins to form. At the heart of it is Aaron, and his disappearance is the one mistake the plotters made. Because Shoshana is the greatest killing machine the Mossad has ever produced, and she will stop at nothing to help Aaron, even if it means killing Pike Logan. Members Reviews: Wait, I have to catch my breath... This is an excellent globe trotting espionage book. This publisher's description and the review by Wayne are enough that I don't need to recap the story. I'm writing this review because I think the author deserves it and other listeners may find it helpful when looking for a good book to purchase. I really enjoyed this book. Very fast paced, definitely written for the adrenaline junky. Other then Logan and his team you're not exactly sure who is good and who's not and then there are those who change sides and others that get suckered into giving assistance Luckily Jennifer and Shoshana a former Mossad operative do not have to perform sexual favors in order to obtain this assistance. Listen to the book, you'll understand! Rich Orlow and Henry Strozier do an outstanding job narrating. This book is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. If you found this review helpful please indicate so. Thank You. Brad Taylor never disappoints! Operator Down is Book 12 in Brad Taylor's Pike Logan espionage series. (There are also 6 short stories in the series.) This novel takes place mostly in Lesotho (a diamond-rich mountainous small kingdom completely surrounded by South Africa). There is an early appearance in Tel Aviv, Israel with emphasis in the Israel diamond exchange. Unsurprisingly, the novel is mostly about espionage and terrorism related to diamonds in Lesotho, but also about illegal arms trade in triggers for nuclear weapons. The major characters in this novel, other than Pike Logan, are Logan's business partner/girlfriend/Taskteam member Jennifer Cahill and the now-married ex-Mossad duo Aaron and Shoshana.

As a storm rages across the Mediterranean Sea, a terrifying distress call is made to the Italian Coast Guard. Days later, a body washes ashore. Identified as a high value terrorism suspect (who had disappeared three years prior), his name sends panic through the Central Intelligence Agency. Where was he headed? What was he planning? And could he be connected to the "spectacular attack" they have been fearing all summer? In a race against time, the CIA taps an unorthodox source to get answers: Navy SEAL turned covert counterterrorism operative Scot Harvath. Hired on a black contract, Harvath will provide the deniability the United States needs while he breaks every rule along the way. Packed with pulse-pounding action, fascinating characters, and electrifying intrigue, Brad Thor does it again and proves why he is known around-the-world as the "Master of Thrillers". Includes a bonus interview with the author. Members Reviews: Excellent but... Love these books! Unfortunately, I felt how it ended did not match up with the build up. Still great read though. This reader detracts from what are good stories. Narrator keeps me from reading any more books in this series. Hard to get interested due to narration. Amazing I really liked all of the action scenes and the fact that the storyline is so dynamic. I truly could not anticipate what was going to happen so I could not stop listening. Back to lions of Lucerne! Not up to Bard Thor-Standard Yes, I've read all of this series but this seemed to be shorter than most and much less climactic at the end. I was actually alarmed that it was over. I LoVE Brad's writing and the story lines but this felt manufactured and less full and robust. WOW!! Great novel! Brad Thor has written one Scot Harvath novel every year beginning in 2002. His first Harvath novel, The Lions of Lucerne, is among the best debut novel I have ever read, Every novel since has been a solid 5 star thriller, but in my opinion none have been better than The Lions of Lucerne until Use of Force. I have nothing concerning content to add to the publisher's summary, so I'l observe that Thor is almost as great at espionage thrillers as Mark Greaney and Ben Coes. The Harvath character has aged well during the last 16 years as he has moved from Secret Service, to CIA asset, to top operative of the Carlson Group, and during the next novel as working leader of CIA subcontractor the Carlson Group. Brad Thor is a must listen author. Narrator Armand Schultz had become the voice of Scot Harvath.

For 30 years humanity struggled to cope with the brilliants, the one percent of people born with remarkable gifts. For 30 years we tried to avoid a devastating civil war. We failed. The White House is a smoking ruin. Madison Square Garden is an internment camp. In Wyoming, an armed militia of thousands marches toward a final, apocalyptic battle. Nick Cooper has spent his life fighting for his children and his country. Now, as the world staggers on the edge of ruin, he must risk everything he loves to face his oldest enemy - a brilliant terrorist so driven by his ideals that he will sacrifice humanity's future to achieve them. From "one of our best storytellers" (Michael Connelly) comes the blistering conclusion to the acclaimed series that is a "forget-to-pick-up-milk, forget-to-water-the-plants, forget-to-eat total immersion experience" (Gillian Flynn). Members Reviews: Brilliant! Incredible! Wonderful! Written in Fire completes the three novel Brilliance Saga. Note that these books MUST be read in order written or they will make no sense at all. The genre of the Brilliance Saga is contemporary sci-fi; that is, it occurs in a fictionally faltered present. One percent of the populations are classified as brilliant. That one percent is discriminated against and they rebel violently. These three books are likely destined to be classics, but probably as a single book. This saga is a must read even for those who do normally like science fiction. Luke Daniels does a great job of narration. It is ironic that Written in Fire was released on the same day as Destroyer: Rewinder Book 2 by Brett Battles which is another much anticipated and unusual contemporary science fiction novel. More of the same (which is not bad) The good: Like the predecessors, this book is non-stop action. And for better or worse, the conflicting parties (Sons of Liberty vs Children of Darwin) are extremely realistic and mirror many of the horrible world events going on lately. I found myself actually growing anxious about what they would do next. The mediocre: It's just more of the same. The characters stay the same, the locations stay the same. In the first book, meeting Eric Epstein for the first time was a truly great scene. Epstein in book 3 was exactly the same - sitting in his cave and being socially awkward. There was an attempt to show stress and fatigue, but it was superficial. The bad: Without giving away anything, I was disappointed in the ending. I thought the main antagonist broke out of character at the end (or at least did not use his gift consistently). John Smith's master plan (or most of it) was disappointingly convoluted and inelegant. The final resolution made me face palm. On the other hand, I did like the epilogue, unlike some other reviewers. All in all, it's good to have closure, but as you can tell, I was disappointed. The series started off strong but did not live up to its potential. Overall, I'd give the series 4 stars, but I thought this book individually was closer to a 3. Sad ending to this trillogy I was jumping out of my seat with bliss reading Brilliance. That book was pure joy in my mind. I loved it. However, the two sequels were poorly thought through in my mind. What made Brilliance special was the weaving plot and character development.

Pineiro Narrator: PJ Ochlan Format: Unabridged Length: 18 hrs and 57 mins Language: English Release date: 03-07-17 Publisher: Macmillan Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 98 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Terrorism Publisher's Summary: When ISIS detonates nuclear weapons in two key American strongholds, the United States plunges into chaos, and the CIA scrambles to prevent a third tragedy in Without Mercy, a terrifying and topical thriller from Colonel David Hunt and R. J. Pineiro. The unthinkable has happened: ISIS, covertly assisted by Pakistan's intelligence services, has acquired nuclear weapons and the ability to deliver them anywhere in the world. They begin with an attack at Bagram Airfield, America's largest military base in Afghanistan. A second weapon is detonated in Battery Park in New York City. The blast levels a square mile of Manhattan, including the Financial District. Hundreds of thousands perish. The American economy is in chaos. Banks close their doors. The US supply chain is disrupted. Riots and looting break out while enemies in the Middle East burn US flags in celebration. The stakes skyrocket when Islamabad CIA Station Chief Bill Gorman unearths evidence of a third bomb headed our way. Across two continents the chase is on to find the runaway terrorists led by the ruthless and capable Salma Bahmani, star agent of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence, the dread ISI. She will stop at nothing to deliver what could be the final nail in America's coffin. Members Reviews: Riveting!! Detailed and believable to an extent. In this day and age, the POTUS would be met with so much blowback, nothing would get done. Still...I don't mind hoping for a POTUS with "big ones" like Madame President in this book!! Hard to stay focused in the beginning Narrator difficult at the beginning. It got better as the story continued . Personally I got lost in the beginning but I'm glad I stuck with it. Excellent This isn't normally my genre, but I bought this book because of my admiration for Colonel Hunt. I'm glad I did. Very well done! I hope the authors are working on another. Great, but scary action thriller! I raced to finish this audible book. It seems very timely and a bit too possible!! I liked the characters, especially the strong female ones. Having a woman president who was a combat veteran was surprising, but engaging. Other female characters were great, also. I read a very critical review about some of the military terms around firearms, but even tho I am an NRA member and a gun owner, I was so involved in the action of the story that the reference to passing a gun by its "handle" instead of its "grip" did not spoil anything for me. Thanks, Col. Hunt and R J Pineiro for a thrilling story (that I hope never happens!) Col. Hunt, I have missed seeing you on FOX News, but just saw you there this morning! Nice job by the narrator who is a new one to me. I highly recommend this audible book! Gripping, Stunning and Revealing Be able to stop listening or reading this book. It is a A novel today but a very possible reality, given the direction our government is digressing

(Jeffery Deaver) "Gilstrap will leave you breathless." (Harlan Coben) "A great hero, a really exciting series." (Joseph Finder) Freelance operative Jonathan Grave faces his fiercest challenge yet in best-selling author John Gilstrap's explosive new thriller.... The mission: Drop into the Mexican jungle, infiltrate a drug cartel's compound, and extract a kidnapped DEA agent. But when Jonathan Grave and his partner, Boxers, retrieve the hostage and return to the exfil point, all hell breaks loose. Ambushed, abandoned, and attacked on all sides, their only hope of survival lies inside a remote orphanage where innocent children have been targeted for death. Even if Grave can lead his precious cargo to safety across a hundred miles of treacherous jungle filled with enemies, he can't shake the feeling that something bigger is at play. A vast conspiracy of international power players who take no prisoners - and leave no survivors.... Cover Design by Lou Malcangi. Members Reviews: It's a Tie for best of the series... I just don't know how I could have missed this book! John Gilstrap is one of those authors I watch for. I've enjoyed the Jonathan Graves series as well as his stand alone Nathan's Run narrated by George Guidall. This is a very good series and this book may well be the best or at least equal to End Game which I had said was the best in the series about 3 1/2 years ago. In this book Graves and Boxers are sent to Mexico rescue a DEA agent kidnapped by a drug cartel. After retrieving the man the man the they find themselves abandoned with the cartel head hunting them down. They take refuge in an orphanage run by same man and escape into the jungle with the orphanage residents and black market weapons in tow. Graves knows the children will be killed if left behind. This book is so fast paced and the story is exciting. There is quite a bit of conflict between Graves and Boxers because Boxers priority is to save the agent and Graves can't leave children behind to die. It certainly has a Bang Up ending. Basil Sands does an excellent job narrating. I've seen a few people complain about him and I understand, he does mispronounce some of the simpler words but he's been doing this series so long I've come to expect him to continue. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book and series. If you found this review helpful please indicate so. Thank You. Wow. Jack Reacher eat your heart out! Love the Jonathan Grave series. Can't wait for the next one. Keep them coming. Digger and Boxer are my heroes. a solid entry This book isn't going to redeem the western world or improve life for anyone, but it was a solid 13 hours of narrative entertainment, with a plot straightforward enough to follow yet convoluted enough to be interesting, with apparent hopeless hurdles overcome with the right amount of derring-do by a cast large enough to engage the senses. Fantastic! My first Gilstrap listen. Wasn't expecting such a great book. Great plot, character development and narration. If you like Mitch Rapp, Dewey Andreas, and the like, you will definitely like this book. Now excuse me while I click to the next screen and order another book in this series. great book loved it another winner. Love boxer he loves blowing things up. Great storyline Great Adventure. The best.

When radical terrorists take hostages in Indonesia, Captain Ezekiel Fortunes is called to lead the rescue team. Part of a classified government experiment, Zeke is a super soldier with enhanced abilities. He can see better, run faster, disappear when necessary, and hunt the enemy along any terrain. There are those in the world willing to do anything for power like that. A formidable spy genetically engineered to hide in plain sight, Bellisia rarely meets a man who doesn't want to control her or kill her. But Zeke's different. His gaze, his touch, they awaken feelings inside her she never thought possible. He's the kind of man she could settle down with - if she can keep him alive. Members Reviews: Back to the original Ghostwalker feel! I had gotten a bit put out over the last few Ghostwalker stories. The heroes were overbearing to the point of being verbally abusive, and it sickened me (I didn't even read Spider Game because several reviewers made similar complaints). The sex was gratuitous and unnecessary to the plot (and was borderline abusive IMO). I don't mind a steamy scene or two, but I don't want it taking up over 60% of the book. After waiting a few days to read some of the reviews, I decided to give CF one more chance with Power Game. I'm glad I did! This has the feel of the earlier Ghostwalker stories. The hero is alpha, but not disgustingly so. The heroine kicks butt on her own, but also accepts help without being a doormat or railroaded. I'm also glad at least one long-time storyline has ended. I feel like CF lets series go on too long, sometimes, without any real resolutions. I feel like at least one loose thread got snipped with this story. Finally, while Jim Frangione did a fantastic job with the narration, I really missed Tom Stechschulte. He's the voice of the Ghostwalkers for me. So, overall, I'm glad to say I can recommend this book to my fellow Ghostwalker fans. I feel like the series is back on track! EXCELLANT AND FAST PACED!! Where does Power Game rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? top 50 What was one of the most memorable moments of Power Game? Killing one of the long time enemies of the GhostWalkers What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike? Narrator is not very good with the female and children voices but he is pretty good with the male voices. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? No Any additional comments? OH Boy!! this was and Excellent story!! Kudos to Christine Feehan for and great addition to the GhostWalker series!! Nonny/Grace Fontenot has become a GW in her own right. She is the idea of everyone's adorable grandmother. Power Game starts off with Nonny who has housed 9 of her grandsons GW friends. This is Ezekiel Fortunes story and his paired mate Bellisia Adams. Ezekiel is a doctor and a the Captain of the PJ GhostWalker team. Nonny has the second sight and is sending Ezekiel on an errand to town for her. Nonny knows that's were he will meet the GW female Bella he has been paired with by Dr. Peter Whitney. Bellisia has remarkable GW Octopi DNA and has escaped her handlers Gerald and Adam after her mission to spy on Violet Symthe Freeman for Dr. Peter Whitney.

The first target is Dallas, Texas. A deadly nerve gas called New Archangel is unleashed upon the City of Angels, claiming innocent lives, spreading nationwide panic, and fueling global fears of another attack. In the icy reaches of rural Alaska, special agent Jericho Quinn is enlisted to hunt down the man who created the bioweapon - a brilliant Russian scientist who is trying to defect and hiding in the Alaskan wilderness. But time is running out. The scientist is beginning to lose his mind to dementia. If Quinn doesn't find him before the Russians do, the entire western seaboard and beyond will feel the wrath of New Archangel - and darkness will fall upon the earth. Members Reviews: Excellent Jericho Quinn Thriller! Field of Fire is about an ultra nationalist Russian terrorist cell with the most deadly poisonous gas ever trying to bring the US to its knees. There is a new character FBI agent Khaki Beaudine who''s Jack Thibodaux's cousin working with Quinn in Alaska. Action and suspense junkies will love this novel. Dissapointed Ive listened to all of the Quinn series so far and this is the first time Ive been meh! It was just boring. Too much Russian baddies and too little of Jacques & Ronnie. The first third was okay but it bogged down from there. Not sour on the series, hopefully the next one is back on track. good good book. the performer needs to work on his Russian accent, it just isn't convincing. but otherwise he did a good job. Absolutely fantastic! Excellent story again! I am so glad that I started this series when it began. Can't wait for the next one! Marc Cameron is an awesome author! Keep up the great work and thank you! another one hits the five star list! This book continues Marc Cameron's best hits. The author and his performer, Tom Wiener do a great job together, and you never finish disappointed with the results.

Title: Dead Wrong Subtitle: A Rho Agenda Novel, Book 2 Author: Richard Phillips Narrator: MacLeod Andrews Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 01-06-15 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 852 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Terrorism Publisher's Summary: Book Two in the Ripper/Rho Agenda series Ex-CIA assassin Jack Gregory has been hired for a singular mission: to journey to South America and rescue an imprisoned shaman. Beloved by the struggling masses and feared by the ruling elite, shaman Tupac Inti is destined to unite Bolivia's indigenous people and bring down the corrupt government. But Jack isn't the only one trying to track down the shaman. For only Tupac knows the location of the immeasurably powerful Sun Staff, and both the National Security Agency and neo-Nazis are hot on his trail...and neither group plans to let him live. The clock is ticking, and Jack must find and rescue Tupac before more sinister forces get to the shaman first. When Jack comes face-to-face with his equal - a stunningly beautiful NSA agent - he wonders if he can still pull the trigger and save his mission...even if the decision costs him his very soul. Members Reviews: Better than the first one This is a really slick spy novel with some slight sci-fi overtones. The novel is finally starting to become more sci-fi oriented, which is good in my opinion. It still is 90% a spy novel but the main thrust of the novel is about alien technology. It also advances the main chacters issues with the mind worm slighty, but way too slowly for my taste. This is a fun action packed book and Macleod Andrews does an awsome job with the reading. This one is not really sci-fi (but it is getting their) but still a solid spy novel which is worth a listen. I look forward to seeing where the author goes with this series. Glad the story moved from supernatural to sci-fi For once, I get to go with the majority: this book is noticeably better than book 1. The supernatural aspects from book one are better explained here - in fact, they are now identified as coming from a sci-fi source. It makes much more sense to think of Jack as hosting an alien life-form, than as being possessed by a demon-like spirit. (Well, it does for me since I like action-sci-fi and don't like supernatural-ghost based writing). The story seems to start off a bit sluggish... but if you make it through the first 1/4, it really picks up into a decent action novel. Lots of non-graphic violence and bad guys bite the biscuit on a regular basis. There is no romantic component to this novel - maybe a quick mention that Jack and Janet had a previous relationship, but no sappiness or sex goes on in here... The story is independent of the first book, and it is fully wrapped up here too. The next book in the series might have the same characters, but it will have to be a completely different 'mission' since all the bad guys got their just desserts here. The narration is very good. There is some non-graphic violence and only very occasional swearing, no sex.

In the tiny town of Cascade, Washington, the members of Graham's camp and the Preppers welcome spring and begin to thrive as a community. Meanwhile, dark forces invade the peace they've cultivated. Their malevolent common enemy from the past emerges, and suddenly the pandemic isn't what it seems at all. Members Reviews: He said She said Great story of you can get past the He said, She said, They said.. Can get distracting. the narrator ruined this book..... I don't know why the narrator was changed from the first two books, but it was a BAD choice to do so. The story progressed nicely but the different weird voices that totally didn't match the characters, and we're all of a sudden whiney and seemed to have a new york accent.... it was hard to listen to. Great book can't wait for book 4 Great book can't wait for book 4. This series has been a fantastic read. Hopefully the author can give us an ETA for the next book in the series. The third book in the series is excellent Even with the narrator change it was just as tantalizing as the first two fantastic great read though the usual issues the change of voice of over person was understandable but choice was bad. nothing wrong with the new narrators voice but his accent was very strong and made the characters sound completely different. well spoken characters now sounded a bit sleezy and a bit like a hill Billy which I found very off putting. found this book hard work .......I usually say I couldn't out it down but it'll this case I could barely keep going. as for the writer there were the usual clumsy errors which by book 3 are just unacceptable. for example in 52 make your mind up who is driving....clarise or graham! and more annoying than that is that the author is male..... and therefore yet again is blind to the development of relationships that are vital to the story and vital to the reader. jumping and skipping over important developments is something this writer regularly does and puts me off reading any of his further stuff. for example the build up to the relationship between the main characters graham and the woman he meets in his lodge who turns out to be his partner and the relationship between the other 2 main characters clarisa and Dalton! on both cases you build it up slowly keeping g us on the edge if our seats waiting in excited anticipation and then skip over it and suddenly they are an item !! downfall of male writers i guess ..... very frustrating. will not persue this writer. excuse my poor grammar I am writing from my phone. I have an excuse unlike this author.
