Publisher's summary

Conscience can be a killer...

A plot to kill a nation, hatched by a secret cabal of ex-cold warriors intent on finishing the war that defined their existence. One man, who in a crisis of conscience, passes information about the plot on to his brother, a shattered soul living on the edges of society.

When Kurt Vetter learns of his brother's murder, he has no idea how far he will travel, how much he will sacrifice, in order to uncover the truth. With the help of Amanda Carter, a shadowy figure from his brother's past, he races across the globe, staying one step ahead of a trained assassin, in a desperate bid to prevent the unthinkable from becoming reality.

Action Packed Techno Thriller

If you could sum up The Patriot Paradox in three words, what would they be?

Action packed technical

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Patriot Paradox?

When they heard the helicopter coming.

What does Kevin Pierce bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The changes in his tone of voice as he changes character and his tonal interpretation of action. I found him easy to listen to.

I found it very difficult to turn off.

Any additional comments?

I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys an action packed, fast moving techno thriller.

Worst. Narration. Ever.

An engaging storyline is the only thing that kept me listening to an overly nasal dialogue, with little to no difference between male and female vocalization. Perhaps I've been spoiled by Barry Eisler...
