Summary
“Absolutely brilliant!” (Jonathan Maberry, New York Times best-selling author)
The new supernatural thriller from New York Times best-selling author Peter Clines
You can still owe the dead.
Hector was the best of the best. A government operative who could bring armies to a halt and nations to their knees. But when his own country betrayed him, he dropped off the grid and picked up the first of many bottles.
Natalie can’t remember much of her life before her family brought her to the US, but she remembers the cages. And getting taken away to the Project with dozens of other young children to become part of their nightmarish experiments. That’s how she ended up with the ghost of a dead secret agent stuck in her head.
And Hector owes Natalie’s ghost a big favor.
Now Hector and Natalie are on the run from an army of killers sent to retrieve her. Because the people behind the Project are willing to risk almost anything to get Natalie back and complete their experiments.

Guess I’m a sucker for cheesey B-movies
The afterword was hilarious because I was thinking I wanted to see this on screen (with a particular actor in mind). Granted it will probably be a cheesy b-movie but I’ll take it.
Very disturbing but also entertaining.

It didn't drag.
Not a wasted credit and I read it in less than 2 days.
Ok?

Totally not what I was expecting
Mind you, I don’t know what I expected, but this is not “like” other works I’ve read by Peter Clines.
I was gripped from a very early stage, looking for excuses to listen to it and not able to stop listening as the action moved on.
The narrator is excellent. I found his performance immersive. He was believable as Hector and also for Natalie, which is a hell of an achievement!
The story has just the right amount of pace and tension. It also has unexpected twists and turns.
Yeah, I recommend it.
I also recommend other books by Peter Clines. I haven’t found one I don’t like yet.

An exciting listen
His other books are more original but as always he’s writing is fast paced and characters really strong, it had a lot of Stranger Things about it but I don’t think that’s a particularly bad thing as I love Stranger Things, it’s a bit gross in parts and brutal but that’s all part of the story. The performance was really good too.

A good solid story if not ground breaking
I'm a fan of Peter Clines, but his work which are independant stories revolving around the same "universe" are a mixed bag, with 14 and paradox bound being the stand out excellent books, dead moon and terminus being poor relations.
I would say this firmly sits between the two, as other reviewers call out, there is defintely a lot of overlap with contempory stories, but you could argue that about a lot of sci fi. Its a good story with likeable (if somewhat one dimensional) characters that will keep you entertained for 10 hours.
The narrator does a fine job but I admit to missing Ray Porter.

Another belter...
Really enjoyed this and it absolutely gripped me the more it went on. Sometimes graphic injury description that made me wince it was so relevant to the pace and situation. A great 'read'.

Clines does it again
This is not another entry in the Terminus series, or Ex-Heroes. What it is however, is a cracking story in its own right. It reads like a TV series, and has some twists and bumps that add to the journey along the way. I thoroughly enjoyed this, and look forward to what is next.

Engaging but derivative
An interesting story told well, but it really reminded me of Eleven's experiences in Hawkins Lab of Stranger Things.
