About this listen

9 AM EST: A senator shoots himself on national television.

10:32 AM EST: An entire floor of government agents leap to their death from their office building.

12:57 PM EST: All the police officers inside a station murder each other.

And the day has just begun.

Lieutenant Asher Benson left Iraq with a traumatic brain injury, PTSD, and a Purple Heart. His doctors warned that the symptoms would be life altering. They had no idea. As his body healed, the thoughts of those around him began to echo through Ash's mind, stretching the boundaries of his sanity.

Five years later, Ash is drowning the voices with copious amounts of booze and self-loathing.

When unidentified intelligence agents abduct him in broad daylight, Ash is thrust into a world of espionage and assassinations. A unique terrorist is operating on U.S. soil, and the government needs Ash, and the malady that has plagued him for half a decade, to find the killer.

Loved the story. Bought in Audible and Amazon. In search of book two. The humor reminds me of Nelson Demille's Agent John Corey.

The narrator was very good. The premise and writing were both good.
The music at the beginning and between chapters was not only distracting and annoying, but felt insulting somehow. I hope this is not a trend in ebooks. It will send me back to reading only.

Mostly liked it

Best mistake I’ve ever made. I almost immediately got caught up in the writer’s skill and enjoyed this often gruesome story. Not at all what I would usually read, but it’s based on fictional skills. It’s entertaining. I intend to try book 2.

I agree with others who disliked the brief musical interludes between chapters. They are distracting, and I was eager to continue reading.

Wayne June is awesome. He alone is worth buying the audio book. Brant needs to cut down the canned discourse though.

some hokey dialogue but good plot

Definitely a fast-moving and exciting story but it is a little too full of vulgarity and violence for my taste. The author does a great job of eliciting sympathy from the reader for the main character due to what he's gone through. The performance is pretty good as well but the music and sound effects actually detract from the narration.

Thrilling and Violent

this book was really fun to listen to however, this story was told in the 80's cult classic Scanners. that being said some of the suprises of this story where not there due to being familiar with the film. i do enjoy this author and plan on looking into more of his work.

ever seen that scene in scanners?

This was in Audible under the category of Mystery and Thrillers. I consider it Science Fiction. I suppose it is a good book if you like Science Fiction. I do not. I did like the sound effects in the book. Not only was the narration good but it also had sound effects like rain sounds when the book said it was raining.

Not a genre I like
