About this listen

Erin Neal has been living in seclusion since his girlfriend's death, and he isn't happy when an oil company executive comes calling. Some important Saudi oil wells have stopped producing, and Erin is the world's foremost expert in resolving these matters. But he has left that world behind. Homeland Security, however, sees things differently.

Erin quickly finds himself stuck in the Saudi desert, studying a new bacteria with a voracious appetite for oil and an uncanny talent for destroying drilling equipment. But worst of all is its ability to spread. It soon becomes clear that if this contagion isn't stopped, it will infiltrate the world's petroleum reserves, cutting off the energy that provides the heat, food, and transportation necessary for survival. As the threat becomes more real, Erin realizes that there's something eerily familiar about this bacteria. And that it couldn't possibly have evolved on its own.

When they did not immediately call the FBI I felt it was a weak story line.

Some weak story lines but enjoyed it

Good characters, nice plot, sometimes not believable but I really enjoyed it none the less.

I expected more from the author that took over for Vince Flynn after he passed away.
In spite of the environmental wacos and a few more lefty plugs than I would like I did enjoy the destruction of the extremist environmental narrative. At times Mills can show the silliness of some of the extreme arguments
The performance was excellent and overall the story was quite good.

Narrator sounded a bit like David Spade. Good listen. Great story line. 10 of 10 would suggest.

Good read

This was a great story that raised some very interesting facts about the world’s dependence on petroleum. Does not preach, though. Just makes you think.

Thought provoking

Terrifyingly realistic with great narration. Kyle Mills did it again. A believably real story story!

AWESOME!

Almost quit but got about 1/3 into it and jumped to the last couple chapters. The chapters are bundled into groups of 3 so when you initially look at chapter numbers you might scratch your head thinking they are going to be hours long each. Overall, I am not impressed with this book.

Tedious

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

A heady thriller that chews up the protagonists and their world before giving a happy ending to a tough situation.

Gritty, dark, and compelling

i enjoyed the storyline. the narrator was better than many I've listened to. the story lends food for thought.

something to think about

I was excited to see a Kyle Mills title among my free options - he became one of my favorites after seeing what he did with Vince Flynn’s (RIP) Rapp series. This one, though, was tough to get through. I didn’t care for any of the main characters and, even though I just finished this two days ago, struggle to think of any of their names. The “hero’s” GF was absolutely awful and I found myself talking down to her every time she spoke - she is a far cry from Anna Reilly and Irene Kennedy. I’m not giving up on Mills and am about to give him another try on a book I have to pay for.

Not Mills’ best
