Title: A Crimson Overture: A Detective Novel of 1930

Subtitle: The Cyrus Skeen Detective Series, Volume 5

Author: Edward Cline

Narrator: Gregg A. Rizzo

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 56 mins

Language: English

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Espionage

Publisher's Summary:

In this fifth adventure of Cyrus Skeen, private detective and socialite in San Francisco, it is January 1930, the end of the Roaring Twenties and the beginning of the "Red Decade" when Soviet spies and Communist fellow travelers have begun to infiltrate the government and other institutions in large numbers.

During a Nob Hill society party, Skeen and his painter wife, Dilys, befriend a beautiful sculptress who turns out to be a British spy carrying important information about the extent of that infiltration in American and British governments.

In A Crimson Overture, one thing leads to another, and soon Skeen is enmeshed in a conspiracy to silence him and anyone else with knowledge of the scale of espionage and treason in both countries.

In the previous Skeen case, The Chameleon, the intrepid and cosmopolitan detective uncovers and dissolves a Nazi Bund in a university town near San Francisco, while in The Daed'lus Conspiracy, he journeys north to a Redwood Forest to foil the assassination of a U.S. Senator.

In this latest exploit, Skeen tangles with J. Edgar Hoover's Bureau of Investigation, irascible police detectives and newspapermen, and ruthless Soviet agents hurrying to cover up their depredations before the British spy's secrets are revealed to the authorities.

Cyrus Skeen vs. the "wielders of whips"

The ominous reality behind will become known as the "Red Decade" is chillingly portrayed in "A Crimson Overture". It is 1930 and a pall has descended on San Francisco with the fall of the stock market. Cyrus Skeen has wisely avoided the investment quicksands that sucked in so many others. But after he and his artist wife Dilys befriend a mysterious Englishwoman at a lavish party, a broken appointment and the bequest of a baggage room claim check draw Skeen ever deeper into a world of espionage, betrayal and murder. The Nazis are not the only gang of "wreckers, destroyers, and wielders of whips" threatening the world. The new Soviet masters of old Russia are bent on taking advantage of the growing popularity of socialism in the West. They are Skeen's natural enemies, and he will use all his considerable resourcefulness to halt the deadly "progress" of their plans. As always, it is a pleasure watching him work!

Slow Going

1930s a vague background for this book. Unable to relate to the characters. For a short book, it dragged toward the ending.

Explosive

Set in the 20s "A Crimson Overture" has a fascinating plot that is relevant today. Cyrus Skeen is the kind of hero one longs for.

Skeen's saga is solid gold

A Crimson Overture is the latest in a series about the all-American Cyrus Skeen, my new detective hero. Skeen is smart, cultured, honest, brave, confident, handsome, and individualistic (which together, in my eyes, equals sexy). In this novel, Fiona Moncrieff Nesbitt, a beautiful intriguing woman falls in love with Skeen, drawing the detective into the world of espionage. And so continues the saga of Cyrus Skeen. "A Crimson Overture" promises to be as brilliant as the first novel in the series. For any fan of detective novels or history, Edward Cline is the one to follow.

Title: Deadly Passage

Author: Lawrence W. Gold, MD

Narrator: Larry Gallegos

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 41 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-11-14

Publisher: GRASS VALLEY PUBLISHING

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Espionage

Publisher's Summary:

Deadly Passage is a multi-layered, high seas, adventure-thriller audiobook of bioterrorism in a post-9/11 world. The audiobook operates on several levels not commonly encountered in a high-octane thriller, including insights into the terrorists, their backgrounds, rationale, and subtle conflicts within the communities from which they have been drawn that ultimately condition their decisions and actions. The responses of US governmental agencies mirror these diverse perspectives.

Andy Reiss, a physician; Jesse, his registered-nurse wife; and Rachel, their barely-teenage daughter, head home on their sailboat, Prophecy, after five years at sea touring the world. They thought they'd dealt with every imaginable experience at sea. When Prophecy comes upon a sailboat adrift, they discover two young Americans, a brother and his sister. After bringing them aboard, both break out with a rash that Andy identifies as a deadly virus.

Soon it becomes clear that they've inadvertently rescued two homegrown terrorists intent on bringing a deadly virus to the Miami area. Soon the disease is full-blown, sealing the fates of the terrorists and all those they encounter.

Andy, Jesse, and Rachel must deal with the unwanted guests, their disease, the Cuban Navy, an approaching hurricane, and the US Coast Guard turning them away from safety, operating under the influence of conflicting political and operational motivations in the Department of Homeland Security, the Coast Guard, and the oval office. The shocking and unexpected denouements leave us twisting in uncertain winds reminiscent of On the Beach.

Members Reviews:

And in the end I kept thinking that this plot could really happen to us; if it hasnât already.

This is a five star book: and five stars means; Itâs one of the those story you canât stop reading and when the morning come upon you and you have to put the book down with a whole lot of resentment towards the responsibility that is keeping you away from finishing the book .

Reading this story was like the waves that kept getting powerful and instanced. It kept you wanting to keep turning the pages to see what happens next. And in the end I kept thinking that this plot could really happen to us; if it hasnât already.

I have always been that lazy relaxing sailing passage, you know the one that just sits back and enjoying the wind sun and water in my face, and waves at all the other boaters. But after reading this book I now have a much higher regard for the crew that brings it all about.

When I finished reading this book I kept thinking that this storyline would be a great movie. That seeing the effects happening before us would enhance the drama and sitting on the edge of your seat.

Thrilling Ride

I only gave it a 4 star because it became a bit tiresome for me to read about how to manage a sailboat. I sorta sailed through those parts, no pun intended. But that is just a landlubber's view. The writing is very good and the author, who is a doctor, is well versed in medical knowledge and must be one terrific sailor. It starts out with a nice family of 3, on their own ship, cruising the Caribbean. The author did an excellent job of showing us how this loving family lived at sea for 5 years and was now headed to FL. They wanted to start a new chapter of their lives with their feet on land. What they encounter will keep you turning the pages. The plot includes home grown terrorists, the U.S.

Title: Stinger

Format: Unabridged

Publisher's Summary:

Enter the mysterious world of Stinger...a romantic spy thriller with a twist.

When a secret shipment of Stinger missiles goes missing near the Khyber Pass, "rogue" CIA officer Nick Daley becomes entangled in an unusual triangle with a San Francisco journalist and her former lover, now an elusive Afghan leader with a price on his head. These characters lead us into a realm of intrigue and betrayal, where hidden agendas provide their own kind of veil until the truth is revealed in a shocking climax.

Members Reviews:

A dangerous game in a mysterious world.

What about Charles Kahlenbergs performance did you like?

Actor and voice-over artist Charles Kahlenberg is the reader of Stinger. His deep sonorous voice added depth, mystery, excitement and plenty of tension to the story. I listened to the book twice, first just for the readers voice and again to catch all the details Id missed. Listening to a well-interpreted book is like seeing a film. Kahlenberg is a professional actor with credits going back to his first role in the Coal Miners Daughter. His gorgeous voice has been heard internationally on TV and radio in countless commercials and hes appeared on TV and in films.

Any additional comments?

Stinger is my idea of the classic spy thriller. The twists and turns of the tightly-woven plot kept me sitting in my car listening long after I closed the garage door. The political intrigue could have been taken right from the historical record of the Soviet-Afghan War in the mid 1980s. Set at the border between Pakistan and the mountainous tribal region of Afghanistan, the action opens with the disappearance of six U.S. Stinger missiles that have secretly found their way to Peshawar. The Soviets want to keep them from the Afghan Mujahideen, Pakistani and Chinese dealers want to sell to the highest bidder, and the Afghani freedom fighters desperately need advanced weaponry. Both rogue CIA officer Nick Daley and Robin, a San Francisco journalist, want to find the Afghan leader, for different and shocking reasons. A tragic love triangle forms and is played out against drug deals, murder, betrayals, courage, loyalty, and the history and culture of this Muslim region. Its a dangerous game in a mysterious world that comes together in a surprise climax and ending.

The depth of Chamberss research impressed me. The story is concise yet richjust the right amount of action perfectly balanced with images that lead the mind into unexpected directions. Her language is straightforward yet often lyrical, and her ability to describe her setting is superb. I feel as though Ive visited Peshawar and traveled the Silk Road. The characters have depth and distinction. Even secondary characters are crafted to stand out individually. I came to like Nick Daley as he revealed himself and his motivations. I look forward to meeting him again.

A Modern Casablanca

What did you love best about Stinger?

The beauty of Diana Chambers' charming Stinger is the way she transports the reader to another time and place. In this case the time is when authors were genteel and characters used their wits more than their guns. The place is Central Asia, and Chambers does a marvelous job of immersing all of your senses in a delightful journey through places most will never visit to scenes they'll wish they would.

Kritik Bewertungen:

Ein guter Autor hat die Fähigkeit, den Leser von der ersten Seite an gefangen zu nehmen und in die von ihm gestaltete Welt zu ziehen. Das schafft auch Gerd Schilddorfer.

-- Anna Bicker, Financial Times Deutschland, 21.11.2012

Gerd Schilddorfer versteht es brillant, diverse vermeintlich zusammenhanglose Handlungsstränge miteinander zu verknüpfen und so ein Geflecht aus Spannung und Action vor geschichtlich realem Hintergrund zu weben, sodass das recht dicke Buch nur selten aus der Hand zu bekommen ist.

Critic Reviews:

"A Foreign Country is stuffed with totally credible tradecraft' and human and fallible characters. It is also an excellent example of good, clear, straightforward narrative prose, confirming to me that [Cumming] is one of the brightest stars illuminating the murky world of British spy fiction." (Mike Ripley)"Eat your heart out, Daniel Craig Cumming vividly showcases meticulous research and insight into the undercover life of spies." (GQ)"An utterly absorbing and compelling novel. A brilliant re-imagining of events surrounding the notorious Cambridge spy-ring." (William Boyd, bestselling author of Restless)"Often talked of as a potential heir to John le Carré, Cumming confirms here that he's a reliably classy storyteller an assured and richly enjoyable thriller." (Sunday Times)"Delicate and supremely controlled, this is a spy story to be savoured, not rushed." (Daily Mail)"From the first page to the last it has the ring of absolute authenticity. Tautly written, cleverly plottedit reminded me strongly of the early books of John le Carré." (Robert Harris)"Perfect for fans of John le Carré, a gripping and suspenseful spy novel from the master of the modern spy thriller." (Mail on Sunday)

Members Reviews:

Credible, imaginative and unexpected - brilliant!

What other book might you compare A Colder War to, and why?

Others have been comparing it against Le Carre and Forsyth, but I suggest one should take this book on its own merit. This new master (well to me) sits along side the old masters. If you enjoy them, you will also enjoy this book too.

Entertaining spy novel

Well constructed and entertaining spy novel. Not quite the depth of Le Carre but has good pace and better than most current writers. Narrator grates at first but soon forgot about that as I got absorbed in the story

Fabulous!

Second book in the series.

I cannot recommend too highly. Great story, read wonderfully well.

5 stars to ALL concerned.

Very Average

I am not sure who compared this to le Carre but it was nowhere near the same class. More comparable to Jack Higgins.

The story, though engaging, was obvious. The characters were predictable, unoriginal and stereotypical of the genre.

Really not that impressed.

Terrible sequel

I loved the first Thomas Kell book, A Foreign Country.

Title: Kill Factor

Author: 711 Press, Roger Vallon

Narrator: Steve Berner

Length: 2 hrs and 39 mins

Publisher's Summary:

711 Press is a company with a unique twist on publishing: We release "Movies & TV in Book Form." Read our thrilling, cinematic titles in the time it takes you to watch a movie or TV show.

Kill Factor is an espionage series in our Movie Book line.

After going rogue and laying low on a farm in the Midwest, Hadrian Black, an ex black-ops soldier turned covert government agent resurfaces and seeks revenge against the company that made him what he is. With the aid of an old friend, and the schemes and resources of a new one, Hadrian faces off against the deadly agents of the multifaceted corporation with a global reach known as Redrum Industries, which is also out to destroy him.

Members Reviews:

Intense Beginning to a Series

The Kill Factor Series starts off with intense action that will appeal to those who love James Bond-ish stories. A fast paced, intense storyline that includes 'relic' assassins, black op special agents, government agents and genetically enhanced super assassins.

Quite easily just stepping over the edge of what is realistic to us 'lay' people and delving in to a world that is very plausible, this thriller had me on the edge of my seat for the entire read.

What had me guessing is how Redrum was able to track Hadrian after his little tryst with Ming Li. As always, nothing is what it seems, and everything is more than you think. Hadrian's 'relic' ways keep him on top of his game, but because Redrum is constantly evolving the genetic enhancements to their operatives, he fails to see that those very enhancements have played him right in to their hands. On the run, Hadrian and his few allies have to split up and go deeper than they first thought. I can't wait to see who else is involved and how this story line moves forward.

For me, this book introduced me to a series that I believe would make an excellent

movie. This book is presented in such a way that you can read the book in one sitting, then choose to go on to the second book right after, if you'd like. I've already purchased book #2 because I can't wait to see what happens next.

Kill Factor is a short but interesting read for the first of a series

As a book written from what appears to be The Matrix and maybe Universal Soldier for the genetically altered assassins, this was a pretty good read from 711 Press. The estimate of 115 minutes read time was about right. The characters became more interesting and real to me as the story progressed. I found Augustus as the first of the line interesting because of his hiding in plain sight and his longevity. Doc, Hadrian and Emily round out a good crew. There is plenty of action in this book. At least one romantic scene which felt thrown in to me but the other one was in line with the story.

"Espionage Story At It's Best"

The is an exciting thrill ride that races faster than the Kentucky Derby! It's all action, with no time-wasted scenes or lengthy descriptions. Hadrien Blackburn (or Black) is a rogue agent who previously worked for an industrialistic secret group which the U.S. military have been trying to infiltrate for years. Hadrien had turned his back on the Redrum organization for over a year after doing severe damage to a Transylvania Textile Plant back in 2009. The plant was a shadow business for the Redrum group who were experimenting with implanted chips that genetically changed their secretive agents.

Members Reviews:

WOW

All I can say is WOW, I couldn't put this book down. Living in The Boston Massachusetts area, it brought back all the memories of the Marathon Bombing. Getting a call at 6am telling us we couldn't leave the house was such a frighting thing I never would have believed this could happen in my area. New York was close enough!!

For a first published book it's written so well and really makes you realize what really is going on in our Country, why so many other Countries hate us, very very sad.

Can't wait for another book.

Nice Read

No Safe Place was an action-packed read that delivered what readers of the genre usually want. It kept the interest and delved into an area about which is a major threat that most Americans, the television show "The Americans" notwithstanding, seem to ignore. There are undoubtedly sleeper agents in the US, and they have a tremendous potential to do the country harm.

The book starts out with an info dump, some of it with faulty timelines, and that might turn off those who read the Kindle sample first. It gets better, though, so that it not indicative of the rest of the book.

The author obviously did quite a bit of research in the writing of the book to make sure what she wrote is either accurate or could be accurate given the situation. While I think the planning aspects of various operations were a little backyard football ("hike me the ball and go deep") with extremely basic planning done on the fly, I think the bulk of the book was realistic and believable.

This is the author's first book, and if this is an indication of her writing abilities, I think she will find success as an author.

a very well written but...

A well written but very scary book to read, especially these days with so many people promoting radical islam and glorifying hatred and trying to blame the innocent for the terror brought on by this radicalism. This book shows how easily terrorism could happen in every town, in any town; in YOUR town.

Astonishingly professional for a first novel

Astonishingly professional for a first novel.,

This is a wonderful, thought provoking book concerning terrorism and what happens when sleeper cells are activated by their handlers. The idea that there are "terrorists among us" is, in my opinion, not something that should be discounted as fiction. This remarkable effort by Taylor Wilmering starts out quickly and picks up the pace as it moves relentlessly toward its ending while sweeping you along as if you are an unwilling rubbernecker at a train wreck.
