Summary

A short time after a CEO of a Manhattan high-tech weapons company reaches out to Investigative Reporter, Diana Chambers for investigative help, he dies a horrific death, along with two coworkers. And they are only the first to die!

Chambers' investigation has led her to question the motives of her own government, the intentions of the HAARP technology in Alaska, and other so-called non-lethal weaponry. Is this technology lethal, not only to the environment, but to human life? Is mind-control real? Have high-tech weapons of "non-lethal" properties ended up in the hands of those with evil intent? Is to think that, an irrational conspiracy theory? Or is it fact?

Chambers turns to former FBI profiler Robert Venturi for help and they discover several scientists are in danger. Who is behind the mysterious deaths? What they discover is terrifying and yet they are determined to stop the killings, even with their own lives at risk.

Do we ever know what is really going on?

This simply written but effective thriller tugs at the conspiracy fears so many of us harbour. When the ex brother in law of an investigative journalist tries to message her in the final moments of his, and two coworker's, bizarre deaths, a race begins to discover not only why but also how he had been killed. The pace of the book is brisk, the concept clever but the final denouement leaves something lacking: it just doesn't feel complete.

Narration is by Johnny Peppers who reads well, with clarity and good intonation, as well as giving each individual protagonist an appropriate and distinctive voice, whether male or female. A fine performance, adding greatly to the enjoyment of the novel.

The Sound of Silence was a free download from FABC. My thanks to the rights holder for making a complimentary copy accessible on request. I enjoyed this uncomplicated conspiracy thriller with very it's gentle romantic hints despite it's never quite feeling fully formed, as if the final draft rounding out the characterisation was still to be written. But it was a quick, undemanding read, and as such, recommended.
