Very poor narrator spoils the stories

Summary
9 AM EST: A senator shoots himself on national television.
10:32 AM EST: An entire floor of government agents leap to their death from their office building.
12:57 PM EST: All the police officers inside a station murder each other.
And the day has just begun.
Lieutenant Asher Benson left Iraq with a traumatic brain injury, PTSD, and a Purple Heart. His doctors warned that the symptoms would be life altering. They had no idea. As his body healed, the thoughts of those around him began to echo through Ash's mind, stretching the boundaries of his sanity.
Five years later, Ash is drowning the voices with copious amounts of booze and self-loathing.
When unidentified intelligence agents abduct him in broad daylight, Ash is thrust into a world of espionage and assassinations. A unique terrorist is operating on U.S. soil, and the government needs Ash, and the malady that has plagued him for half a decade, to find the killer.

Really enjoyable and very funny thriller
I really enjoyed this action packed thriller, the humour and one liners made me laugh so many times. The narration was excellent and it made a nice change to actually have sound effects and music which enhanced the whole experience. I recommend this audiobook to everyone.

Began well
This began well but the last few hours lost me almost to the point of a DNF. The tension was repeatedly diffused by silly one-liners. At one point during a tense moment the MC stopped to help an old lady. If that wasn't bad enough they went on to have an unimportant exchange (about the MC's mode of dress). In addition, the MC collected wounds like they were stamps but still managed to 'soldier on' to a point beyond ridiculousness. Overall the narration was good, but the sound effects (e.g., chapter music, gun fire etc) was reminiscent of a trashy play.

Loved the story. Bought in Audible and Amazon. In search of book two. The humor reminds me of Nelson Demille's Agent John Corey.

a light but fast-paced thriller
Ash is the first in the Asher Benson Series, with a little paranormal hint. Asher Benson, a war veteran suffers from PTSD and has a purple heart, after a brain injury he was able to read people’s minds and with this new gift or rather a curse he is more troubled than ever because while walking on a street, the thoughts of the people around him form a chaos in his mind as if they are shouting and screaming in his ears.
Able to read people’s minds and unable to stop himself from filtering the thoughts, Ash is aware of the grave a danger he is in or how would the government make use of him if they ever knew what he could do. He only has one friend named Drew and he tries his best to keep himself out of Drew’s mind.
The story begins with Ash stopping a bank robbery by reading the robber’s thoughts and talking him out of it when he meets Sammy who considers him, her hero. The government gets ahold of him and that’s where the action starts and never stops till the end. Ash and his team get into a mess and are trying to prevent a tragedy about to happen.
As much as it is a thriller, it is quite humorous too. Nami, one of the characters is like a breath of fresh air in the story, and the dialogues between Drew and Ash bring a chuckle. Anyone who’d like to read a light but fast-paced thriller, this is for you.
However, after all the praise about the story, there were some things specific to audiobooks that are not like-able about this one. Some sort of music at the very beginning of the book is fine but at the beginning of every chapter it becomes annoying and distracting, it kills the mood. Besides, the music is also not that great. The production was not so convenient to listen to, the voice seemed suppressed and blurred at times, and it was just not clear on higher volumes. The idea of projecting people’s thoughts (whenever Ash listens) in a deep echoing voice was a good one but again they weren’t clear and didn’t seem really necessary. The sounds of gunshots and the police radios right in the middle of a huge twist made me feel like I was going to miss something which could have had a great impact on the story by itself. The narration was overall good, but had there been none of these extra little things, it would have been excellent.

Not a genre I like
This was in Audible under the category of Mystery and Thrillers. I consider it Science Fiction. I suppose it is a good book if you like Science Fiction. I do not. I did like the sound effects in the book. Not only was the narration good but it also had sound effects like rain sounds when the book said it was raining.

This was a pretty good book
This is a pretty good book. It keeps you engaged in such a far out storyline that you want more!! Great characters, Good plot, and an ending that that lets you know there is more of the same excitement to come in the next book. The one thing I really hated...ok, it just annoyed the crap out of me is the music in between chapters...MAKE IT STOP!!!!!

Thrilling and Violent
Definitely a fast-moving and exciting story but it is a little too full of vulgarity and violence for my taste. The author does a great job of eliciting sympathy from the reader for the main character due to what he's gone through. The performance is pretty good as well but the music and sound effects actually detract from the narration.

ever seen that scene in scanners?
this book was really fun to listen to however, this story was told in the 80's cult classic Scanners. that being said some of the suprises of this story where not there due to being familiar with the film. i do enjoy this author and plan on looking into more of his work.
