About this listen
Kevin Pariseau elevates this near-future sci-fi tale with a pulse-pounding delivery, narrating the science, the suspense and the horror of this all-too plausible tale from New York Times best-selling author Douglas E. Richards.
When a small alien spacecraft lands in the Amazon jungle, the world's most powerful nations race to retrieve it and harvest its superior technology. The dense rain forest renders traditional military vehicles useless, so the United States sends in a single operative - a powerfully enhanced human sporting revolutionary technology. But the interstellar visitor has arrived with a secret and gory purpose of its own. Seeker will have listeners running for cover.

What if you found a way to send something back in time? But not weeks, days, or even minutes back. What if you could only send something back a fraction of a second? Would this be of any use? You wouldn't have nearly enough time to right a wrong, change an event, or win a lottery. Nathan Wexler is a brilliant physicist who thinks he's found a way to send matter a split second back into the past. But before he can even confirm his findings, he and his wife-to-be, Jenna Morrison, find themselves in a battle for their very lives.

Shifting
My opinion of this story kept shifting as I listened to it. At first I kept wondering if some how I had downloaded the wrong book since we doing this whole thing on ISIS and terrorists. Then I got why that was there, got interesting as we progressed through the jungle. Got a little disappointed when we got into detailed explanations and philosophy as to the why. The turn of everything towards the end wasn’t totally unexpected, but it saved the story line. Wasn’t a bad book, just didn’t go where I thought it would.

Tops in my First Contact list!
The is probably the authors best book yet and he has some really good ones, on the surface what is not to love you get First Contact, Super Soldiers and the Amazon jungle. That is just on the surface however their is philosophy and leaves you with plenty to think about, I love books that make you think about things and it's not often authors can do that very well these days however Douglas Richards is on top of that game right now.

Too much unnecessary info/trivia
The plot is good. I found the premise interesting and both main characters decently developed, albeit a bit simpleminded despite the claims to the contrary.
The author is fond of overexplaining and of providing a TON of unnecessary detail. This book should be half the size to become entertaining. As an example, there were 10-15 minutes blackouts periods when I would fall asleep, wake up and continue listening without the need to go back because nothing actually happened, as the characters were reciting trivia facts and re-stating the obvious.
If I were reviewing this book as a publisher, I would advise the author to do some heavy editing. Tighten up the scenes, avoid too much padding with the info and over-explanations.
Another thing, the chemistry between the main characters is diluted by their constant assessment of each other's IQ and their braggery about their enhancements. It seems like a childish dream of the author about reaching immortality and "total recall" memory (insert eyeroll of a biologist here). And just to add pet peeve - I really do not like when people try to insert a real technique in a book without understanding what the technique is about. Just no. Sure, 90% of readers might have never heard of CRISPR, but the 10% who know what it is, are forced to deal with this constant eyeroll thing and desire to quit the book that mangles biology.
Three stars, which in my personal grade system means that the book has potential and is ok to listen, but needs lots of improvement to become "good".

just a bit better than really bad
as a romance, this is obvious. as sci-fi this is juvenile and stupid. as a war story, which it isn't most of thetime it is bad, the dialogue is bad, the narration is over detailed over complex and over done. if there were nothing else, I would recommend this book, but that is not the case. the authors notes are even over dramatic. if this had been written in the 60s or 70s it might be passable.

Same Game, Different Names
"Seeker" is the same Douglas Richards novel you always get-- harried special forces guy paired with a brilliant female scientist. Lots of clever ideas and a fair amount of philosophical extemporizing. That said, it's a great deal for the money.
