Publisher's summary

#1 New York Times bestselling author Lee Goldberg hits the ground running in a breakneck thriller where truth and fiction collide for the unluckiest writer alive.

When a passenger jet crashes onto the beaches of Waikiki, bestselling thriller writer Ian Ludlow knows the horrific tragedy wasn’t an accident.

Years before, the CIA enlisted Ian to dream up terrorism scenarios to prepare the government for nightmares they couldn’t imagine. Now one of those schemes has come true, and Ian is the only person alive who knows how it was done...and who is behind the plot. That makes him too dangerous to live.

Ian goes on the run, sweeping up an innocent bystander in his plight - Margo French, a dog walker and aspiring singer. They are pursued by assassins and an all-seeing global-intelligence network that won’t stop until Ian and Margo are dead. Ian has written thrillers like this before, but this time he doesn’t know how it’s going to end - or if he will be alive to find out.

Critic reviews

"Adam Verner gives an entertaining narration of Goldberg's fast-paced adventure.... Verner's character voices are spot-on, and his pacing captures all the excitement and humor as the unlikely heroes take on those who are trying to eliminate them." (AudioFile)

Wonderful adventure

I loved listening to this book!! I really really enjoyed that the author used his wit and talent to entertain without relying on endless sex scenes and using the f word in every sentence. Bravo!!

This Book Needs REviewed ... and here it is

“True Fiction” was my introduction to author Lee Goldberg. A pleasant mixture of action/adventure and tongue in cheek humor. Our hero, a writer, finds one of his concepts all too true. He goes on the run with a dog walker/author wrangler and fights against injustice by the CIA,..or is it? It's an original plot that might be credible?

A story-within-a-story

Loved it! I'd like to read more stories by this author. An intriguing and, in places, a humorous story. I've never read anything even close previously. I may read it again just because I like it so much.

Fun story

Fun story that doesn’t take itself too seriously. The narrator was a bit annoying at times. Overall an easy listen.
