"This knotty thriller is all the more absorbing because of narrator Will Damron, who captures the quirkiness and humor of its brilliant protagonist, Dr. Lucas Page.... This fast-paced fiction will absorb the listener." (AudioFile Magazine)
A series of deadly explosions rock the city of New York, and with too many victims and no known motive, the FBI turns once again to Dr. Lucas Page in Robert Pobi's Under Pressure.
On a beautiful October evening, New York City's iconic Guggenheim Museum is closed for a tech company's private gala. Until an explosion rocks the night, instantly killing 702 people, including every single attendee - yet the damage to the building itself was minimal.
An explosion of that precision was no accident and, in response, the FBI mobilizes its entire team - but the sheer number of victims strains their resources. Were all 702 victims in the wrong place at the wrong time, or was there only one target and 701 unlucky bystanders? That many victim files is a staggering amount of data to sort through, and Brett Kehoe, Special Agent in Charge of Manhattan, decides that he can't do this without more computational power.
Dr. Lucas Page, astrophysicist, university professor, and former FBI agent, is uniquely gifted for the task at hand - he can visualize a crime scene as if he was a bystander and can break down any set of data at a glance. Even though Page wants nothing to do with the FBI, with his city under attack and his family at risk, he steps in to find a killer in a haystack before they strike again.
A Macmillan Audio production from Minotaur Books
"Robert Pobi’s second thriller featuring the mathematician-astrophysicist Dr. Lucas Page, starts with a big bang.... Each of the characters in Mr. Pobi’s complexly plotted book is skillfully drawn, but Lucas Page is one of a kind." (Wall Street Journal)

starts out well but drifts into ho-hum
land as we bog down in less exploring
of Lucas' brain observations into chase scenes. All told, the ending saves it. Eagerly awaiting book 3.

Enjoyed these books!!

I appreciate the subtle presumed literary and pop culture references throughout the book that must be taken and appreciated rather than outright spoon fed. It made for a much better read.
The main character is arrogant and glib but somehow it’s not insufferable maybe because he’s seen and experienced enough to give him such a jaded outlook. Constant chronic pain will alter anyone’s mood and threshold especially in the setting of someone with limited interpersonal skills. He actually grows on you because he doesn't suffer crap and ineptitude from people.
Fantastic narration by Will Damron, so much so that I've started looking for other books narrated by him.
I hadn't realized this was book 2 of a series. The story is written well enough that it can serve as a solid stand alone book.
Looking forward to getting the first book and getting the back ground story.
Highly recommended
Great story

A side note: I thought Will Damron was an excellent narrator. He really put a lot into the various characters so you could easily tell when the speaking character changed.
