Title: Critical Mass

Author: Whitley Strieber

Narrator: Paul Boehmer

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12 hrs and 28 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-24-09

Publisher: Tantor Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 28 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

In Critical Mass, Whitley Strieber explores this unthinkable but real possibility in a furious story that is almost too terrifying to tell. Nuclear interdiction expert James Deutsch and his Muslim wife, Nabila, struggle to stop an impending nuclear attack on a great American city. Along the way, they delve deep into the hidden world of nuclear terrorism and the experts who strive to contain it, and get a compelling look at the titanic battle within Islam over its own future---fundamentalist and rejecting, or compassionate and life-embracing.

Like Strieber's classics Warday and The Coming Global Superstorm, Critical Mass is torn straight from the dark pages of a very dangerous and very possible future.

Editorial Reviews:

After turning Ann Coulter into a brain-munching alien (2012: The War for Souls), Whitley Strieber delivers a more serious political thriller. This audio starts out slow, then picks up with a terrorist nuclear attack on Las Vegas and a spy-versus-spy marathon. Strieber refuses to play the genre straight, so listeners also hear lectures on the science of radioactivity and the dangers of die-hard loyalty to a single party. Paul Boehmer narrates without much expression. All the dialogue sounds similar, with a slightly higher pitch, inconsistent accents, and long pauses between sentences. Boehmer's delivery of the narrative is clear but perhaps too steady, a style that makes it easy to lose track of the story thread.

Members Reviews:

Well... hmmm

OK, I wasn't expecting much from Strieber, so I can't say I was disappointed. He is good at conceptualizing stories, but the writing falls short. Sometimes, laugh out loud short. I really wanted to like this book, being a fan of doomsday scenarios, but the action sequences were often poorly put together and implausible. Anyway, I got through it, and it's interesting enough to anticipate the listen.

Typical script for an "Action" movie

Well written, but lacking in a cohesive theme.

Doomsday fun

What did you like best about this story?

Whitley Strieber has always enticed me with his tales. Be it either a "true" depiction of alien abduction, to this fun romp through end of days terrorism. The story, I feel, is cohesive, verses the other reviewers that it's not. But that's just my opinion. I found myself listening to it for hours, eager to know what was coming next. I like his style and I like this story.

What about Paul Boehmers performance did you like?

I've heard him preform several narratives. His voice matches Whitley Striebers writing style.

Critical Dud

No character building, over extended descriptions of events to fill pages, no real connection with the story line. I forced myself to listen to the end. If you can't find anything else worth reading/listening to, it's a maybe.

Enjoyable nuclear-terrorist yarn.

Members Reviews:

pathetically unrealistic

Any additional comments?

I know that this type of book will have a story line that is unlike everyday life. However, This story is so unrealistic that it is pathetic. I have enjoyed some of Randy Singer's other books but this one is a real dud in my opinion.

Great story

I really like the set-up of sub-stories. Good plot. Just when you think it's over, you're off to the next segment.

Just the ticket

a fine book for our holiday season. Good pace throughout. Excellent reader..will seek more from Adam Finer. recommended highly.

Randy Singer does it again

Randy Singer is becoming a new favorite of mine. The books is suspenseful and well written. The book does have a good bit of tech jargon and that may not appeal to everyone. Otherwise, this is a great book with good narration. Good job Randy Singer! I have already purchased two more of his books and look forward to listening to them both.

An almost perfect digital book...almost.

I love the writings of Tracie Peterson, and the Ladies of LIberty series is excellent! However, I was hesitant to give this title, A Lady of Secret Devotion in particular, five stars because of errors in the publication. I have the Kindle copy. I am assuming that due to editing errors, there are several places throughout the book where sentences are repeated (though apparently not intended ) and even words in sentences that do not belong there. I'm not sure how this kind of thing happens. Just wanted to mention it.

From and by Barbara

Just read the last of the trilogy, Ladies of Liberty, A Lady of Secret Devotion. Very good! All of Tracie Peterson's books are very good and very well written. This last one though, was real bad about repeating the sentences and even putting in numbers where they didn't go at all! I liked Cassie the heroine and Mark, the hero. Mrs. Jameson, the lady that Cassie worked for as a companion was so sweet and brave, but her son was a real bad egg! The story was Very suspenseful and exciting! I would buy even more of Tracie Peterson's books, they are so good and she's such a good writer, but I will only pay so much for a book, and some of her books run into the 9.99 range. I usually don't go over 5.00. There are too many good books out there that I can buy for a few dollars. I do recommend this series. You won't be disappointed.

Ladies of Liberty Book Three

Sadly to say this is the last book in this series! I really enjoyed reading about these strong willed young woman, which were not the norm in this era and as a Tracie Peterson fan am very sad to have this series end. This particular book is about a young woman, Cassie, who goes to live (become a companion) with a elderly woman, Mrs Jamison. This elderly woman is really very spy and quick for a woman of her age and Cassie finds herself really enjoying herself and loving her ... however, she becomes very concerned when Mrs Jamison's son moves in and starts causing trouble. Come to find out the son has managed to break Mrs Jamison's heart over and over and this time it becomes deadly. He is being investigated for insurance fraud by Mark Langford, who you can't help but like immediately even though to begin with he isn't completely honest with Cassie. I found this book very difficult to put down, I wanted to reach in and find some way to protect Mrs Jamison, I really disliked her son and found him very upsetting right from the start.I think this is a series that most will enjoy and certainly is one worth reading!

Good read.

Story line was great! Would expect nothing less from Tracie.

The only issue or problem was the many typos and duplicated sentences which made difficult to read.

Great story though. Love Tracie Peterson, and look forward to reading other books in series.

Enjoyed this book very much.

As always Tracie Peterson keeps you on the edge of your seat with the excitement in her books.

Every greg Iles book I have read is a WINNER!

A bit of a slow start, but greg Iles trademark well thought out characters deliver an incredibly gripping story.

Loved it!!!

Third Degree - Greg Iles

As a huge fan of Greg Iles, I had very high expectations for this audiobook. Regrettably, I was disappointed since it was slow to start and the characters were not believable. I'm not saying it was poor, but certainly not up to the standard expected of a writer of this standing.

Everybody lies

It certainly comparable to his previous novels, The Emperor of Ocean Park and New England White.

Publisher's Summary:

Now the town physician, who once loved the girl, must tell the dark story of what really happened that day.

Cook creates a series of emotionally charged revelations that builds to a shocking conclusion.

Members Reviews:

a great literary mystery

It's virtually impossible to give this book the review it deserves without providing rampant spoilers. So I'll just say that I listened to the first hour believing (foolishly) that I knew where the story was headed, that I knew whodunnit and why. And I ended up listening to the last fifteen minutes with my mouth hanging open, catching flies and not caring, because the truth was much more shocking, much more tragic, than I would ever have let myself believe.

This is a truly great literary mystery. Written with poetical prose, it lyrically reveals people in both their most debased and noblest lights. Thomas H. Cook is now officially on my "must-read" list, and I will definitely look for more titles narrated by George Guidall.

Hope you enjoy this as much as I did!

I'm obsessed with Thomas H Cook

This is the third book I've now read/listened to by this author and so far I've found every one of his books to be so very interesting and engaging. This story revolves around the questions and secrets surrounding a young girl's murder and a young boy's (who as an adult becomes the small town physician) unrequited love for the girl. This book has mystery and meat. The small town politics and antics that often populate Mr Cook's stories serve as a backdrop for this book. It is the old south that I recognize from my past with it's often white-washed issues of class and racism ( no pun intended) and the dark underbelly of it all. This book confronts these issues in a multifaceted story that will hold your interest throughout. Good good good ! I'll be reviewing more of Mr Cook's books soon I bet!

Good story

Goos story, just a little bit too contemplative. The ending surprised me. The first part of the story a bit to long.

Mitglieder Bewertungen:

Not in English

I might like the book if I could read it but for some reason, I was shipped a book written in a foreign language that I can not read. If it weren't for the tiny print in English on the sticker on the back of the book, I would have no idea of what book I received. I am returning it with a request for one in English if available unless this is a reprint of another book of Mr. Iles. If it is a reprint of another book by another name, just give me a refund, please as I have most of his books already.

Blackmail

For information to other prospective buyers. My previous research indicated that this is the German version of the previously published 'Turning Angel'. This(Blackmail) and (Infernal (which is 'Dead Sleep')) have German titles hinting that it is a novel in English. All other books of his in German have obvious German Titles. Hope this helps.

Unsolicited book in German

The book Black Mail by Greg Iles showed up in my Kindle Fire but I did not order it and it is in German. It does not show in my list of library books and I can't delete it.

Great audio book

Even if you have read this before, listen to Stephen King read what he rates as one of his favorite books. As the author there are parts of the journey he takes you on that I think only he could do. The characters are great, the way you build up a strong set of images from the story line, just great. My favorite of his and I have read about 10 of his books.

The interview at the end is also very interesting, he lets you into his head regarding making a great book.

Excellent, spooky, keeps you hooked

If you like Steven King you'll love this. I read a lot of his books when I was young and had much more time than I do now. More than 15 years later this is the first of his audiobooks I've listened to, and was a great re-introduction.

The story builds up really well, with Mike Noonan (the protagonist and narrator of the story) gradually discovering more and more about his dead wife's activities and the history of the "the TR" and its "Martians" (i.e. residents).

The music and sounds added into the production were very good. The music gave you a break from the voice and the sound effects heightened the suspense at only the very important moments.

To me there was also an interesting sub-text with Steven King being the author and narrator, and the main character who was also an author was also narrating the story in the first person. And then an interview with Steven afterwards was a very worthwhile addition.

Fabulous! Nobody tells it like the author!

What did you love best about Bag of Bones?

It was just so real, the fact that Stephen reads it really brings the story to life. I definitely enjoyed this book as a audio book simply due to it been read by Stephen as he really know how to draw you into his character. This has become my favorite. I must admit it was a little slow to start but I have come to expect that from Stephen King books either audio or print but by the end I couldn't stop listening!

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

Yes

Which scene was your favorite?

OMG! So many to mention but it would have to be the one where his late wife comes to save him.

If you haven't had this one-GET IT!!!!!!

What made the experience of listening to Bag of Bones the most enjoyable?

Read by Stephen King-subtle but full of emotions.

Members Reviews:

Amusingly Predictable

This was the first mystery by this author I've come across. For my purposes (running at gym, commuting), it was a fine listen, kept my interest for the most part, had engaging and sometimes annoying characters. By 2/3 of the way through, it was pretty clear who the bad guy was, and the ending was depressing and not too satisfying.
