Frighteningly Plausible.

The thing that struck me right from the start of this entertaining action thriller is the plausibility of the technology involved. The wondrous gadgets the villains deploy are easy to imagine being available in the very near future. That all adds to the tension of the story and what a story it is. We have kidnapped girls, larger than life super rich super villains, secret organisations and heroes that are more than just brawn. This is a story with an awful lot going on, which would take far too long to recount here, and it’s all very entertaining. There’s plenty of action to go with the ambitious story about a world changing conspiracy. It’s very well written and the story moves along nicely before switching gears when the action hits. I really enjoyed it and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone that enjoys books about secret agents, shady organisations and conspiracies.
The narration by Tom Taverna is also very good, although the way he does some of the female characters gave me the impression that they were constantly surprised. That said, he does a great job bringing all the characters to life. The one thing to note though is the length of the audio-book at over eleven hours. Obviously that is value for money but also quite a commitment to make to an audio-book. I enjoyed it a lot and wouldn’t hesitate to listen to another book by JD Lasica read by Tom Taverna.
