Wow!!!!
I am so glad I discovered this author, as I really enjoyed this book. It started with a bang and didn’t let up. It felt like you were on a roller coaster just holding on as it went from one situation to the next. It is a book you want to sit and listen to all in one sitting and the best bit is its good enough for a second or even listen too!
I am glad to see there is a second book in the series as the predicament of the main character seemed dire and I will definitely be looking out for the next book.
Really enjoyed everything about this book and even recommended to my dad to read.
I was captured right away by Mitch Herron. This surprised me because of my disdain for thrillers about serial killers, and Mitch is a killer! I suppose that I bought into his mission as well. Along the way, he picked up a helper, a scientist who understands what he doesn’t about the virus. She has the strength of character to stand by him and do what must be done to eradicate the threat to the human population. Well written page turner.
Great story.
Non-stop thrill-ride…
This book is a wonderful example of what a thriller should be. It is a captivating story featuring Mitch Herron, a former special forces operative turned assassin for an organization called “The Enclave”. This book can be enjoyed in one sitting, if so desired, as it is not particularly long yet it is overflowing with hard-hitting action and pulse-pounding thrills. The narrator, Tom Jordan, offers an exceptional audio performance of this book. He skillfully distinguishes each character using cadence, tone, and inflection to insure that you can always tell one character from another. He adroitly conveys tension, stress, anger and various other emotions by altering tempo and vocal characteristics to perfectly reflect the situation in which the characters find themselves. A narrator can make a significant impact, either positively or negatively, on a story and Mr. Jordan, without a doubt, was a stellar choice for this wonderful fast-paced thriller.
This is one book that starts out as it ends with such thrilling excitement, danger and mystery. The author has no trouble holding you on the edge again and again with one thrilling ride that makes your heart beat faster not knowing when the end will come and who will be left alive. What happens when a mad man gets his hands on and unleashes a bio weapon that could end life as we know it on this planet killing thousands if not all humans. What a nightmare that would be as the lead character finds out this is no walk in the park trying to find the people responsible for this injustices. What follows is truly one exciting listen that holds you spellbound until the end with this life and death story that has compassion, danger, thrills, excitement and mystery.
The narrator as always does a wonderful job from his character voices to the emotion. His character voices are wonderful you always know who is talking and what they are feeling. His male to female voice are great and easy to follow with smooth and even when changing to one character to the next. He gives the right tones for the scenes you can hear the fear, excitement, danger in the characters voices. His performance is just outstanding. There is no background noises, no volume changes, no repeating of words just a very clean and clear audio that pulls you in. If any breaks were taken I could not tell it was just a very clean and clear audio that I got lost in. The narrator normal voice is just a wonderful as his character voice keeping you on the edge with danger and true emotion that makes your heart beat a little faster as the scenes unfold keeping you on the edge. Mr. Jordan does a great job bring the audio alive making you feel each emotion, danger and excitement that the author gives. It was a thrilling ride that I totally enjoyed from a very talented narrator.
Herron has been infected with the bio weapon, he must decide if he goes after the would be killers or go into quarantine in hopes of them finding the antidote to save his life. Of course our hero won’t stand aside and watch others die he will go on the hunt for the mad man who wants to kill so many and hope when the end comes he is still alive. The author put a lot of thought into this giving detailed scenes that will keep you on the edge until the end with first one road block and then another. I have no trouble picturing this as a wonderful movie that people would love to watch. It has a little bit of everything in it but one thing is for sure you won’t be able to put it down. The characters feel real almost like family as you want to reach in and pull them out time and time again from the danger that is before them. Herron does have a sidekick that helps him along the way. He more or less inherited her when she is found to be where he is being held and left to die just like him. She is a little bit of a mystery but adds so much to this story. I truly loved the characters, the plot, the twists and turns and how it all played out giving me hours of enjoyment. I found things to do, so I could listen longer before I knew it I came to the end not wanting it to end. I can hardly wait to see what book two will be like. If you are looking for a wonderful listen that keeps your attention and makes you enter act with the characters you have found it. I enjoyed this so much that I also bought another of this author audio. I just love his writing style and how he pulled me in with wonderful entertainment.
