About this listen
From Award-Winning Thriller Writers Brett Battles and Robert Gregory Browne
After losing her mother to a terrorist attack, Alexandra Poe was devastated when her father - disgraced and accused of treason - disappeared from the face of the earth. Now, over ten years and a stint in Iraq later, Alex is approached by a man who has information about her father and wants to help her find him.
But there's a catch. The man works for Stonewell International, a security firm that specializes in fugitive acquisition. And in return for their help, Alex must agree to run point on an extremely dicey mission. One that will take her behind the walls of a brutal and dangerous women's prison near the coast of the Black Sea.
When Alex finally agrees, she has no idea what she's gotten herself into. She may find her father, but she could very well lose her life.

Story
Nate doesn’t want to listen. He’s between missions and just wants to relax, not to travel hundreds of miles and hunt for the driver of the car that hit someone he doesn’t even know. But ignoring the call is not an option. What Nate had hoped would be a simple mission turns into something much more sinister, when he discovers a wide-reaching evil, festering in a small Northern California town. To confront it, he will need all the skills he’s learned working in the shadow world.

Meet Jake Oliver. The day will come when he's one of the best cleaners in the business, a man skilled at making bodies disappear. At the moment, however, he's a 22 year old rookie cop, unaware his life is about to change. In a burning barn a body is found--and the fire isn't the cause of death.

Editorial reviews
An exciting collaboration between two experienced authors, Poe: An Alexandra Poe Thriller, written by Brett Battles and Robert Gregory Browne, delivers intense drama with a fierce female lead: the titular Alexandra Poe, an Iraq war veteran embroiled in a dangerous search for her allegedly treasonous father. Actor Abby Craden brings a tense energy to her narration of this suspenseful novel, and proves especially adept at bringing Alexandra herself to life. Press play and let Craden sweep you away into a world of international intrigue…but with plot twists aplenty, just know that you may find it hard to press stop.

Story
When out-of-shape IT technician Roen wakes up and starts hearing voices in his head, he naturally assumes he’s losing it. He isn’t. As of last night, he has a passenger in his brain - an ancient alien life-form called Tao, whose race crash-landed on Earth before the first fish crawled out of the oceans. Over the millennia his people have trained human heroes to be great leaders, to advance our species at a rate far beyond what it would have achieved on its own. Split into two opposing factions - the peace-loving, but under-represented Prophus, and the savage, powerful Genjix - the aliens have been in a state of civil war for centuries.

Regulars at Nadia’s nature lodge don’t ask what she does in the off-season. And that’s a good thing. If she told them, she’d have to kill them. She’s a hit woman for a Mafia family. Tough and self-sufficient, Nadia doesn’t owe anyone any explanations. But that doesn’t mean she always works alone. One of her contacts has recruited her in the hunt for a ruthlessly efficient serial killer cutting a swath of terror across the country. The assassin is far too skilled to be an amateur - and the precision of the killings is bringing the Feds much too close to the hit man community for comfort.

Enjoyed the story. Narration, not so much
So, yeah I did enjoy this story. I liked Alex she is a bad azz, smart, witty and funny, I like those qualities in a female lead character.
The story line and plot was good. There was a lot going on all the time. Interesting to purposely get arrested in another country so you can go to prison to break someone out. That was fun.
I like Cooper a lot more than I like Deuce. Deuce was a bit immature for my liking.
As for the narration, sigh.......... Not very good in my opinion. It was dull, and boring and the reading voice was meh. Please find a new narrator. Brittany Pressley is perfect for these types of books.

Not disappointed
I have just recently started reading Brett Battles novels. I became addicted to "The Edon Project" series. while waiting for the latest book in that series I decided to give another series a chance. Brett does an amazing job with his series that you are able to read or listen to them in random order. With the "Alex Poe" series I have become hooked again. He has a cunning way to have multiple characters and consistent action without losing his readers. Two thumbs up

Female version of Jack Reacher
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes
Any additional comments?
For Poe, two great best-selling authors, Brett Battles and Robert Gregory Browne, combine their collective forces and storytelling talents to bring us a thrilling adventure witch you will not be able to put down until the last word fades away.
Alexandra Poe is a bounty hunter! She is a beautiful woman, while being also very tough and capable to hold her own in any fight or difficult situation. After spending her youth working for the Army, even taking part in the 2nd Golf War, she is approached by a man, that tells her a secret and makes her an offer witch will turn her life upside down.
Alex decided to join the Military, at an early age, after her mom died tragically and her father vanished, falling off the face of the earth, after he was put under suspicion of treason. Alex’s only family is her brother, and now, 10 years later she learns that someone knows where her father is hiding. That someone is the man with the secret. He works for Stonewell International, a security firm that tried to recruit Alexandra Poe in the past, but now, driven by her obsession to reach her father, she has to accept a contract from them, but the contract will be more then she has bargain for.
Poe’s adventures will breathlessly cary us, from the boulevards of Paris, France, to Galați, a small town in Romania, to Switzerland and the United States, while Mystery, intrigue, covert operations, espionage and prison breaks will keep the reader glued to the pages, making hours pass like a blur.
Brett Battles and Robert Gregory Browne are both awesome thriller writers by themselves, and they created a very interesting, com pelling, thrilling and suspenseful story, with likable characters and on the razer’s edge action for this first Alexandra Poe novel.
The audiobook version of Poe is performed by the actress Abby Craden and she is quite good! I enjoyed her narration before with other ,female characters from The Passage and The Summer Guest, both books written by the great Justin Cronin. She has a very pleasant voice and manages to bring Alex and all the other characters to life. Abby reads the story, never hurrying, taking her time, filling it with passion, doubt, hate, love, compassion and other emotions, treating the listener to a great acting performance. I will listen to more audiobooks narrated by Abby.
Poe is a great book, The plot is very interesting, the characters lifelike and the action never stops. I really enjoyed the audiobook version of it and I am deffinetly looking forward for more of Poe’s Adventures.

Great beginning to a series. Totally awesome.
Brett Battles is a great author. Robert Gregory Browne is a great author also. Join them together and the listen is out of this world. The narrator was a great choice also. I will always look for a next one in series. 'Taken Down' is my next listen. Thanks audible!

Perils of Pauline
Time, space, logic, reason, physics and human physiology are the losers in a climactic ending that only Battles could have written. The narrator is great, though, and most of the book avoids the Battles-ian lapses into rhetorical questions and empty dialogue. I'm sad to say I will most likely read another.

Good read and decent narration..
This was a good book but what the author did was totally unnecessary. At 85% I was ready to quit reading.
Plus, as much as I don’t mind unbelievability this was a little far-fetched. I mean, Alexandra Poe’s father had been gone for years, just up and left her and her brother one day, AND was accused of being a traitor, but she thinks it’s a good idea to go to the Ukraine, get thrown in jail, do her best to escape with a woman that MIGHT give her information about her father? And the company she’s working for plan on bringing her father back to the States to stand trial. Just what was so important that she would go through all this danger to find out? Maybe to ask, why did you leave us?
Anyway, overall, I enjoyed the book, mostly. I liked that Poe could really kick some butt. And I have to say I was surprised at who the assassin was that the Committee sent to kill El-Hashim. I would have never thought of her.
As exciting as the book was it could have been better. I hate when you grow to like someone all through the story and the author decides to kill them off. It was a total bummer.
As to the narration: Abby Craden did a fine job on the voices and emotions. Normally I don’t like her because her males sound like they’re constipated BUT that’s in romances. She does a better job with murder-mysteries, don’t ask me why.

Worthwhile, but not up to Brett Battles standards
I just completed listening to Poe for the second time. It was better than the first time. The protagonist is a female bounty hunter named Alexandra (Alex) Poe. Alex is tough and violent. In Poe she is looking for her father. It is an excellent suspense thriller with more than a touch of mystery. This two novel series is co-written by Brett battles with Robert Gregory Browne.

Ok, not great
The story was pretty good, but their were several places where it wasn't plausible.
The hardest part was the narrator. The dialogue often sounded childish and over-acted, and at times the non-dialogue were worse. It was just.... Odd.
