About this listen

A conspiracy so big, it takes a microscope to see it.

Beer, redheads, and politics...Jackson Quick should have known better. First, he trusted a Texas politician. Then he fell for a leggy woman. Worst of all, he drank a beer that tasted funny.

Now, he's running for his life and trying to save the world. When Quick is kidnapped and interrogated about the encrypted tech he's been charged by his powerful boss to deliver, he has no idea it's connected to a missing research scientist on the verge of an earth-shaking breakthrough. Nor is he aware of its proximity to the attempted assassination of a political candidate.

Now he has to piece all of it together and stop the unthinkable from becoming a reality.

Allegiance is book one of the trilogy of Jackson Quick Sci-Fi Adventures and introduces the unwitting hero with a secret past and a penchant for uncovering the truth. It's perfect for fans of Michael Crichton, Pierce Brown, and John Scalzi.

Best book in a while

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the authors realistic portrayal of each of the characters. I also enjoyed the narration and voices which adds to the intrigue.

Enjoyable page-turner

I'm a native Texan and an Austinite so that made this book a bit more fun for me than it might for most people, but it's still a fun story and I'll be buying the next book in the series. I've got nearly 200 Audible titles in my library, so I listen to quite a few books. There are many that I either can't get through or just don't want to try, but that wasn't the case with this book. It was suspenseful enough and detailed enough to hold my attention for the entire story.

A Thriller I Couldn’t Put Down

I honestly went into this pretty blind. I mean, as blind as you can when you’ve already read almost every other book that an author has put out. So, I knew going into it what kind of action to expect, but I wasn’t sure what I was going to get story-wise. Of course, Abrahams gave me everything I wanted and more. Allegiance throws you into the deep end right away and there are scenes where I kept thinking “what in the heck is going on here” within the first few minutes.

Abrahams, as in all his other books, is able to write a story that has so much truth in it that it makes it almost creepy to read. His background, for those unsure, is a new reporter, and one of the characters in this book is that. So almost every scene with him in it I think “how much of this is true or would really happen this way” and I know that most of it is likely true.

The character of Jackson Quick was fascinating. He’s one of those action/thriller main characters that through almost half of the book you think “how is he so good at this” – but with Allegiance, Abrahams had Quick questioning it himself. He even threw in some backstory and flashbacks to start to color in Quick’s life and allow us to piece together why he was better at the things he was doing than the average Joe would be.

Overall, Allegiance was an incredible start to what I hope is a great thriller series. I can’t wait to dive into more stories with him and I can’t wait to figure out how much more Abrahams is going to give us about his backstory. Add in the excellent narration by Jay Snyder and you have an excellent story that I couldn’t put down.

This book hits the ground running!!!!


And the pace never lets up. The protagonist (Jackson Quick) is an aide to the governor of Texas. Quick is kidnapped from a bar, where he’s drugged and questioned for five days. He has no clue about the what or why. He’s told on his release by the kidnappers that they’re watching him. Not knowing how close he contacts his best friend to help him get out of town. His friend is killed and dies in Quick’s arms. Until Quick can figure out the conspiracy his life is in danger and so is everyone else’s that he enlists for help. The problem is that one of the people he’s trying to protect but feeding information to really isn’t his friend.
I’m not sure why this book states in the summary that it’s a sci-fi. This book has so much action in it. I was glued from beginning to end.
Jay Snyder does an amazing job narrating. He narrates The Gray Man books and I always wished that he would do more. His voice is perfect for this type of book.

This book has my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION.

Intrigue at its best

Tom Abrahams always always brings the heat. This is no different. Great action mixed with a fun ending that left me looking for book two. Soon... soon.

Lame and Bland story. Lack of Creativity. The only good thing was fantastic narrative of Jay Snyder.

How does this have such good reviews?

This book starts off with our hero getting tortured.
Then he then has horrible things happen to him for the next 4 1/2 hours.
The book is 8 hours and 40 minutes.
The story is just physical beatdowns and confusion affecting our hero for 4+ hours.
All the while, he doesn't have a clue what is going on.
I don't have a clue why I stuck with it as long as I did.
I don't believe most of the reviews for this book.
One of the reviewers said they didn't understand how the hero was such a great shot...but the author goes into detail on the times he went shooting with his father, who declared him a "natural shot".
The narrator is good. I will give credit where credit is due. Jay Snyder did a great job with it.
