Members Reviews:

Gritty mix of fact and fiction.

Wasn't sure where this book was going at the start, the narrator gives it a very Philip Marlow'esque atmosphere which is in fact just right for the sort of story that unfolds. A mixture of detective story, romance and oddly enough some paranormal goings on are tied in with the real world development of the Manhattan Project during World War Two which gives the whole plot a degree of surreal realism. I just had to keep listening. If I had read the book I would be describing it as a page turner. What's more there are clearly more books to come - can't wait.

This is a really neat concept

Any additional comments?

Great narration, I loved the concept, and the story kept me entertained. I have visited Oak Ridge TN (not the set for this book, but the government created a town for the building of the bomb in this location too) and the research in this story was plain to see - while being blended creatively with the supernatural -- fascinating!

Great story, Great Storyteller!

What did you love best about Chain Reaction?

There were 3 main reasons why I loved Chain Reaction:

1) The incredibly accurate historical references to places and people were like a snapshot from a day in history.

2) The gritty Film noir style voices the narrator made this tale come alive with.

3) The plot twists that just kept coming and coming, and throwing more and more people with special abilities together. It was like having the Avengers, the Nazis, MI6, and the X-Men in the 1940's WWII Era all converging on Eckhart Hall... and the people responsible for the atomic bomb.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Chain Reaction?

One of the most memorable moments of Chain Reaction was the fire. For any who may have felt that the fire which consumed Acme Truck Rentals in Chapter Thirteen was a convenient but not-too-likely event that enabled the authors to put unfair pressure on Jordan Pierce, this fire actually did take place on October 2, 1942the very date the

story takes place. I'm only sorry Jordan Pierce wasn't there to save those brave men.

Which character as performed by Robert Coltrane was your favorite?

Without a doubt - Jordan Pierce. Robert brought Jordan Pierce to life with reads that totally embodied the "film noir" & "hard-boiled" feel for this Sci-Fi & Romance Thriller. I kept thinking of a young Ray Liotta as a 1940's detective in a trench coat... who also happened to be learning how to deal with his new found Vampiric powers.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The fire scene was very moving and was based on history. An acetylene welding torch started a 5-11 alarm fire at the Acme Truck Rentals garage on S Wells Street in Chicago, when a spark from the torch ignited a section of the garage's wooden wall.
