Critic Reviews:

Brndstoffet i effektivt tidsfordriv er nysgerrighed, spnding, mistanke om, at historien - og Historien - altid rummer et bedre svar end det frste, indlysende. Robert Goddards ferme og redelige fortllekunst har direkte adgang til denne vedvarende, organiske energikilde.

Title: The Arrows of Islam

Subtitle: Ari Cohen Series, Book 1

Author: Spencer Hawke

Narrator: Spencer Hawke

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 9 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-21-17

Publisher: Author's Republic

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Espionage

Publisher's Summary:

Hawke's writing excels, especially during the book's many action sequences. The dialogue in the novel is both crisp and tense but also humorous at times.

Hawke spins his international counter-terrorism tale at a breakneck pace starting with the 1999 shoot down of a US super-secret stealth military jet in Bosnia and a terrorist plot to use the plane's technology for nefarious purposes.

From there, and over the course of the 10 years after the crash, the action shifts to various international terrorist strongholds, with each playing supporting roles trying to stop the terrorists.

The Arrows of Islam is just what a mystery/espionage novel should be - quick, action-packed, and full of intrigue.

Enjoyable 1st read from a new author

Overall I enjoyed this book and it was the 1st that I've read by this author. It is a multifaceted geo-political thriller that would appeal to fans of David Baldacci, Vince Flynn and Joel Rosenberg. This the 1st book of a series and there are many opportunities for further character and organizational development.

The real problem that I had in reading the book was in the flow & transitions between characters, events and/ or locations. The most prominent of these was the unsuccessful attempt to shoot down a very high level U.S. cabinet member's airplane returning from Russia. My first thought was that maybe my "copy" of the book was simply missing a chapter. Regardless of how I got there, my 1st knowledge of this event was after its occurrence in a conversation between 2 of the main characters. It seemed like a very odd way to introduce such a significant event.

I look forward to seeing how the author develops the characters, etc. as the series progresses. I think he has the opportunity to generate a very well received and highly acclaimed series in this genre.

average

This was a good idea but it could have been developed more. Not a Tom Clancy thriller that is my preferred style.

No loss reading in reverse order.

Well as the title indicates, I read book two first, and the I was hooked and had to go find and purchase book one of the series. Now I have to bide my time hoping it is not too long before a book three is written and released.

If you like thrillers the this is the series to read, I highly recommend it.

Great story

It'd be a bit naive to think that there is no such thing as organized groups that are plotting the demise of the US. I hope & pray there are characters as dedicated in seeing that these groups fail. An eye opener from beginning to end.

Sorry, couldn't finish it. Just a couple of ...

Sorry, couldn't finish it. Just a couple of chapters and the believability of the character and situations just weren't there.

Members Reviews:

Narrator Sean Barrett gives perfect measured performance

Particularly of Jackson Lamb. Consistency essential to representing so eccentric a character is managed and maintained with aplomb.

Mick herron and Sean Barrett a marriage made in heaven

A very entertaining short story. I couldn't resist this one and it didn't disappoint. Just look on it as a taster to a brilliant series of 'Spook Books'

Mick Heron at his best!!

Mick Heron at his best! just wish it was longer! Roll on 2018 so I can listen to his latest creation!

Terrific teaser

How affirming to listen to a very well written part of a tale than an interminable hodge podge of mangled plot lines which I have recently endured.

Funny, often lyrical and always requiring full attention, the author has done it again.

Needless to say, the reader can only wish that we could have had "the next part" too. It would be nice to see Ms Taverner trip over.

But by the time this new recruit became a plot line, the team at Slough House would be gone.

Mr Barrett retains the title of the A1 reader of novels.

disappointing

I must have fallen asleep as while waiting for the story to get started it finished.

Title: Hour Game

Subtitle: King and Maxwell, Book 2

Author: David Baldacci

Narrator: Scott Brick

Format: Unabridged

Length: 14 hrs and 26 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-24-17

Publisher: Macmillan Digital Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 5 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Espionage

Publisher's Summary:

David Baldacci's heart-stopping Hour Game is the second fast-paced thriller in the King and Maxwell series.

Following their collaboration in Split Second, ex-Secret Service agents Sean King and Michelle Maxwell have gone into partnership and are investigating the robbery of some secret documents at the residence of the incredibly wealthy Battle family. It seems like a straightforward case of domestic burglary, but soon they begin to suspect links to larger, more terrifying events now shaking the prosperous town of Wrightsburg....

The unidentified corpse of an attractive young woman turns up in the woods; two high school kids, one shot in the back, the other in the face, are found dead in their car; a successful lawyer is discovered stabbed to death in her own home. A serial killer is on the loose. The murderer kills in the manner of famous killers of the past but takes care to leave a stopped watch at the scene of each crime - corresponding to the victim's position on his hit list.

As the killing spree escalates, it seems that the fractured Battle family are somehow involved, and Maxwell and King suddenly find themselves racing to solve an intricate puzzle, one that is full of tantalizing clues but barren of solid evidence and one that is leaving even the FBI confounded. And all the while, the body count is rising....

Hour Game is followed by Simple Genius, First Family, The Sixth Man and King and Maxwell.

Members Reviews:

Triple E! Excellent, excellent, excellent.

Great story, characters and narration. You won't be dissapointed. Classic whodunnit that can match any of the greats you heard before. Had me hooked from beginning to surprising end.

Completely absurd

The worst Baldacci book Ive come across. Maxwell and King are hotshot Private investigators. In fact King does all the clever deducing helped by the author repeatedly resorting to referencing things which hadnt been mentioned previously. All the athleticism is Maxwells otherwise gender stereotypes prevail throughout. Add in the cliched array of incompetent keystone cops and you have it.

The plot is totally implausible and completely overwrought. Basically it concerns a serial killer running amok in a small community. The cops are useless and deputise our heroes to do their job. King figures it all out. Maxwell is continually asking Whats going on Sean? being completely unable to keep up with the pace of his deductions despite her much vaunted IQ. Shes got his back though and rescues him a couple of times and the favour is returned. The book has a couple false endings before finally collapsing in a totally laughable denouement.

David Baldacci and Scott Brick do it again

Good story as always and excellent narration. Pity Book one in the series is damaged in the recording.

Never trust anyone in a murder hunt

Really good intricate and absorbing story. Never slowing down the action was fast and furious with enough twists and turns to make you dizzy. Very enjoyable like Baldaccis other books this author is top class . Highly recommended

Worth spending time with Baldacci keeps it moving

Good complex story, Brick is easy to listen to. lots of twists and turns. The finish suggests a sequel.

Publisher's Summary:

Book One: The Scandal at Bletchley

"I've been a scoundrel, a thief, a blackmailer and a whore, but never a murderer. Until now..."

The year is 1929. As the world teeters on the brink of a global recession, Bletchley Park plays host to a rather special event. MI5 is celebrating its twentieth anniversary and a select band of former and current employees are gathering for a weekend of music, dance and heavy drinking. Among them is Sir Hilary Manningham-Butler, a middle aged woman whose entire adult life has been spent masquerading as a man. She doesn't know why she has been invited - it is many years since she left the secret service - but it is clear she is not the only one with things to hide. And when one of the other guests threatens to expose her secret, the consequences could prove disastrous for everyone.

Book Two: The Red Zeppelin

"You'll never get me up in one of those things. They're absolutely lethal."

Seville, 1931. Six months after the loss of the British airship the R101, a German Zeppelin is coming in to land in Southern Spain.

Hilary Manningham-Butler is an MI5 operative eking out a pitiful existence on the Rock of Gibraltar. The offer of a job in the Americas provides a potential lifeline but there are strings attached. First she must prove her mettle to her masters in London and that means stepping on board the Richthofen before the airship leaves Seville.

A cache of secret documents has been stolen from Scotland Yard and the files must be recovered if British security is not to be severely compromised. Hilary must put her life on the line to discover the identity of the thief. But as the airship makes its way across the Atlantic towards Brazil it becomes clear that nobody on board is quite what they seem. And there is no guarantee that any of them will reach Rio de Janeiro alive.

Members Reviews:

What an interesting premise!

I listened to the sample on Audible and was hooked from the start. I had the opportunity to ask the author for a copy in exchange for an honest review, and I jumped at it.

Jack Trebi did a wonderful job writing and narrating this story. The pacing is not too fast nor too slow, but just right to keep me engaged and expectant.

The story borrows from the right genre tropes to feel comfortable and familiar, while also developing well on its own. There is a healthy dose of humor, too! There were so many interesting characters too, even if few as intriguing as the middle-aged woman protagonist who masquerades as a man. The second book was my favorite, because when you are on a confined space - such as a zeppelin - there isn't much leeway for error.

The change of narrators was more felt because this is contains two books, I believe it would be less of an impact had it been two separate books. Still, Angela Dawe is a talented narrator and though it took me a bit to get used to a new voice I appreciate the new air she breathed into the story.

I will certainly read more from this author and listen to both narrators in the future.

Fun and exciting series

I had previously read the second book in this series (The Red Zeppelin) and really liked it, so I was excited to get this collection, which contains both the first and second book together. I think that the pacing of the stories is really great - you won't be bored.

Publisher's Summary:

Chicago video producer Ellie Foreman has been absent from thriller author Libby Fischer Hellmann's repertoire for almost a decade. Now, in Jump Cut, she's back...and is soon entangled in a web of espionage, murder, and suspicion that threatens to destroy what she holds most dear.

Hired to produce a candy-floss profile of Chicago-based aviation giant Delcroft, Ellie is dismayed when company VP Charlotte Hollander trashes the production and cancels the project. Ellie believes Hollander was spooked by shots of a specific man in the video footage. But when Ellie arranges to meet the man to find out why, he is killed by a subway train before they can talk. In the confusion, she finds a seemingly abandoned pack of cigarettes with a flash drive inside that belonged to the now-dead man.

Ellie gets the drive's contents decrypted, but before long discovers she's under surveillance. Suspecting Delcroft and the ambitious Hollander are behind it, she's unconvinced when Hollander tells her the dead man was a Chinese spy. Ellie and her boyfriend, Luke, try to find answers, but they don't realize how far they have ventured into the dangerous echelons of hidden power - where more lives are on the line - including their own.

Members Reviews:

Story puts a strain on believability

Actions and motivations of many of the characters truly strain believability at times, but the story is engaging and suspenseful. The main characters are likable and interesting. Nan McNamara gives the characters distinct and appropriate voices. It's a good match of narrator with story. I continue to enjoy this series.

NOTE: I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Jump Cut: Jump into This One

What did you like best about this story?

....for Your Cut of Excitement! This is the first book I had the opportunity to enjoy by Libby Fischer Hellman; and not the last. Based on this experience, I have already bought Book 2 in this series. Libby weaves a taut, fast-paced thriller like a master dropping clues all along the way. But beware, not all clues are all that helpful. Buy it now, and thank you later, and I just know you will!

Taught thriller

Would you consider the audio edition of Jump Cut to be better than the print version?

Yes.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

I was fully engaged in the storyline from start to finish.

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

The subject ended up to be surprisingly educational - in no way preachingly - and I was moved to do further research about it. Fascinating.

Another exciting book in the Ellie Foreman series!

Any additional comments?

Ellie Foreman has been hired to do a series of promotional videos for Delcroft Aviation. Then at the screening for the corporate big-wigs Charlotte Hollander shuts down the program. Ellie can't just walk away and wants to know why she was fired. As Ellie starts digging she enters a world of international espionage involving the Chinese. People are having "accidents" and disappearing all around her then Ellie's daughter is kidnapped. Will Ellie solve everything and get her daughter back safe and sound?

I received this book for free from the Author in exchange for my honest review.

A totally engaging story

Jump Cut is a smart, sharply written, intense modern day thriller.
