Don't waste a good credit
I should have given the negative reviews more weight than the positive reviews before deciding to waste a book credit on this one. The story might have been a good one if the characters had been better developed and if the reader hadn't talked so fast that I might have been able to understand what the heck was going on. I don't think the reader stopped to take a breath for the whole book! It sounded like he couldn't wait until it was over. Consequently, it was difficult to determine who was who and who was saying what to whom.
A good book will make the listener feel that they personally know at least some of the characters and will cause you to share in their victories and feel the pain of their defeats. The character development by this author was so shallow that I really didn't care what happend to any of them. I kept expecting the book to get better, but by the third CD I gave up and downloaded Scott Turrows new book. It's like the difference between night and day. You should definately listen to the sample to see if you can handle the reader before taking a chance on this one.

Very Bad
I've listened to a lot of books, but this had to be the worst. The narrator spoke too fast and was emotionless. The story line was extremely confusing and the characters came in and out of the book in a very odd way. I would not recommend this title.

Rivals counting grains of Floridian sand
Ther are few readers whom I instantly dislike.
My nine year old daughter read with more expression and much better pacing when she was five. I felt as if I was listening to someone who was learning English in a very distant land. This audio book needs a competent reader. To follow the plot takes more energy that I care to exert. I rather count grains of sand on a Florida beach.

The narration of this book is bad. Comprehension and enjoyment of the writing are tossed aside by the reader's cryptic style. This is an example of a good book with a truly bad reader.

Who is stuffing the ballot-box?
There is some obvious ballot-box stuffing going on here. First off, this book is definitely NOT a 5 star book. If you look through all the reviewers that rated this 5 stars, almost all of them rated other books by the same author as a 5 and never anything less.
Why is this not 5 stars?
1) The plot is very thin and jumps around. Events seem unrelated and unnecessary.
2) Characters are completely flat. There is little evidence of characters motivations or other mental processes.
3) While I believe that a novel should keep it?s vocabulary at a reasonable readability level, this books is at the 5th grade level.
4) Has nobody noticed that the chapters are in the wrong order? The plot is hard enough to follow without chapter 9 being stuck between chapters 4 and 5 (yes I double checked this).
5) As mentioned in many other reviews, the narrator read much to fast and runs right though multiple characters with no pause or changes in voice.
Of the 50+ books I have downloaded from Audible.com, this is by far the poorest quality audio book I have listed to

not good
I do not know if Stanek narrated this himself to save money, but he read it as if he was being charged by the minute for studio time. Once he calmed down it was not as bad, but still not good. The story itself wasn not bad, but it was written like a formula, as if he had read a book on "how to write espionage". It seemed very poorly planned, and never really came together well. Things seemed to be left hanging, and the main character seemed to be the only one who knew what was going on, but the author never explained it to the reader...or his narration was just so distracting that I did not pick it up. Overall, I did not get anything out of this book, but I am not going to listen to it again to get what I missed. Hopefully if he is planning another installment (this being "A Scott Evers Thriller", I assume he is) he will get someone to read for him, and he will manage to complete a thought in his writing. I would not recommend this book.

Save your time and money
This book has no plot, extremely disjointed, people enter the story are killed off and you wonder why. I was really disappointed because I have listened to other books by this author and found them entertaining. There is a lot of action in this story, but it makes no sense. I cannot explain why anyone would like this book, it is boring, and nonsensical, a complete waste of time.
