About this listen

Gifted troubleshooter John Smith, introduced in the acclaimed thriller Killfile, must take down a shadowy figure who has weaponized the Internet, using social media to put a price on the heads of his targets in this intense, unstoppable thriller from the author reviewers have compared to Michael Crichton, Brad Thor, and James Rollins.

As a fixer for America's 1 percent, John Smith cleans up the messes of those rich enough to afford him. But he's no ordinary gun for hire. Smith is a man of rare gifts, including the ability to read minds. Arriving at the wedding of Kira Sadeghi, a reality television celebrity he recently saved from kidnappers, Smith witnesses a group of gunmen open fire, hitting the bride and others. Though he's unarmed, Smith cripples one of the killers and is able to pry one word from his mind: "downvote".

Eager to learn more, Smith hacks into the brain of an FBI agent investigating the attack to discover the bureau has been investigating a nefarious new threat called Downvote, an encrypted site on the dark net that lists the names of celebrities and offers a hefty bounty for anyone who can kill them - unleashing an anonymous and deadly flashmob with a keystroke.

Finding a mastermind on the Internet is like trying to catch air - unless you're John Smith. Motivated by money and revenge, he traces a series of electronic signatures to a reclusive billionaire living at sea, accompanied by a scary-smart female bodyguard who becomes Smith's partner in his quest. The hunt for their prey will lead from Hong Kong to Reykjavik to a luxury gambling resort deep in the Laotian jungle. Yet always this criminal mastermind remains one step ahead.

The only way Downvote's creator can stop Smith is to kill him...because while this diabolical genius can run, there's no hiding from a man who can read minds.

Great piece of fiction that may predict real events of our culture! We've seen it before from other fiction writers.
Christopher Farnsworth knocks it out of the park with a gripping premise. You feel connected to the story in at least one way.

I LOVE THIS SERIES!

Not only is the 'crime' interesting and different, but the protagonist's special skills make the first person dialog and the precautions interesting as well. Book is well written and the narration is superb.

Interesting on so many levels

Book 1 was great and so was Book 2. I'm hoping for a Book 3 and 4??

The story moves to a jazzy snare drum beat from first word to last. Bronson Pinchot -- who knew? My new favorite narrator! Handles the rapid-fire dialogue and worlds-worth of accents like it's coming from inside his own head.

so much fun... even with all the blood

Bronson's talent in delivering the first person dialogue brilliantly translates the author's first person narrative. These books are serious brain candy.

Basic concept of the hero or non-hero (it's a choice for the reader) is very entertaining. I've enjoyed both Killfile and Flashmob in this series. They are necessarily heavy on 1st person description, since none of us have either "been there or even thought about that" for the concept. Mind Control is a term we are somewhat familiar with, but these tales have a whole new slant on what that stuff is all about. The second book helped me to feel much more forgiving and caring about the hero. I suggest reading them in order. I also thought the reader was quite good with a tough personality portrayal. I'm unsure if there is another in this series but I'll add it to my get-me list if there is! -Guyr8s.

Fun Concept of Light Sci-Fi

I'm always on the lookout for interesting new sci-fi/fantasy and this doesn't disappoint. If you liked the Nathaniel Cade series then you'll like this

Solid all around
