About this listen

It was the deal of the decade, if not the century. A small, insignificant company on the edge of bankruptcy had discovered an alchemist's dream; a miraculous polymer, that when coated on any vehicle, was the equivalent of 30 inches of steel. With bloody conflicts surging in Iraq and Afghanistan, the polymer promises to save thousands of lives and change the course of both wars.

Jack Wiley, a successful Wall Street banker, believes he has a found a dream come true when he mysteriously learns of this miraculous polymer. His plan: enlist the help of the Capitol Group, one of the country's largest and most powerful corporations in a quick, bloodless takeover of the small company that developed the polymer. It seems like a partnership made in heaven...until the Pentagon's investigative service begins nosing around, and the deal turns into a nightmare.

Now, Jack's back is up against the wall and he and the Capitol Group find themselves embroiled in the greatest scandal the government and corporate America have ever seen.

Hard to get out of my car in the driveway I was so riveted. Scott Brick is his usually fantastic but the story and the suspense and even a surprise ending was just great. First book of his I have read but he has me as a fan!!

Absolutely great! A real car sitter!!

I thoroughly enjoyed this title. The writing and narration was spot on!! After many fantasy books, it is quite refreshing to listen to a well planned, logical, and scheming take down of both big corporate and government. Well Done!! Both author and narrator are on my list for continued listening pleasure.

5 STARS!!!!

From page one to conclusion it was a fast paced and intriguing read with many twists and turns to keep you guessing. Highly recommend… but only if you have the time… it’s extremely hard to put down until you finish.

Thrill Ride

All the characters were two-dimensional. Hyperbole piled on hyperbole spoiled the narrative. I enjoyed Haig’s earlier books but he seems to have run out of good ideas. Similarly, Scott Brick’s sarcastic tone made the story sound like one long sneer.

Disappointing!

This is the perfect novel for people fed up with sleaze in Washington. Enjoyable and meaningful.

This is an awesome thriller - full of twists and intrigue. I couldn't "put it down"! It would make a great movie. Took a bit to get used to the narrator's voice, but the story definitely outweighed that. I may actually listen to it again, which is somthing I rarely do.

Should be made into a movie!
