Wow!

Revisado: 08-17-19

An awesome novel that is part science fiction and part political thriller. I live in Texas where the story takes place and I shudder after listening to the audiobook. I keep wondering when the tanks will appear and our government will fall. Just kidding. This story gets your attention. I give it five stars overall especially the narration. MacLeod Andrews gives this story life.

Excellent listen!

Revisado: 07-19-19

This is the best military audiobook I have listened to in a long time. It is rare for a military audiobook to get down into detail and strategy, and also have an excellent plot. This audiobook delivers. I just wish I could have listened to this audiobook on a cross country drive instead of to and from work.

Entertaining!

Revisado: 07-05-15

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I am going to be quite honest. I am not a fan of these extreme libertarian don't mess with my guns end of the world writers. I was somewhat hesitant about purchasing and listening to this book. My initial hesitation was confirmed about a quarter of the way into the book as the story got a bit too preachy about gun ownership and the perils of gun control. Hey, what can I say - I am a liberal! That said, this was an incredibly entertaining book with substance. I could not stop listening! I cannot wait for book two of the Tomorrow War series.

What did you like best about this story?

It was a well developed story with some thought provoking ideas. It was also a story about good people trying to follow their moral compass in very, very challenging times. It was just also an absolutely entertaining book that does not make it really too difficult to believe that perhaps something like this could really happen.

What about Kevin T. Collins and Jay Snyder ’s performance did you like?

Absolutely damn good narration that brought these characters to life.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Oh yes!

Best audiobook this year

Revisado: 06-22-14

Would you listen to I Am Pilgrim again? Why?

It is complex thriller with a seemingly plausible plot. It is engaging, exciting and doesn't insult one's intelligence. I highly recommend and plan on listening to it again.

Who was your favorite character and why?

All of the characters were great.

What about Christopher Ragland’s performance did you like?

Just a damn good narrator.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It is suspensful.

Any additional comments?

I wish I listened to this audiobook on a nice long drive.

An Intelligent Captivating Thriller

Revisado: 03-17-13

This is absolutely one of the best books I have listened to in the past couple of years. It's a combination political thriller, mystery, and good ole novel. The story centers around the moral dilemma of the man in charge of laundering money for a wealthy and politically influential Russian oligarch. The novel is a nice change from the America versus Islamist terrorist/China/Iran plots that seem to compromise most political thrillers. This is one reason I have been listening to more British and European-based writers recently. Christopher Morgan Jones writes knows who to write a an intelligent thriller that informs and entertains the reader. This is also a rare instance where it truly feels like the narrator is the one who wrote the book. Five stars all around.

An excellent companion to Shibumi!

Revisado: 12-17-11

Don Winslow is an awesome writer. He continues the story of Nicholai Hel in "Satori." Trevanian's novel "Shibumi" is a classic and that is due in part to the character of Nicholai Hel. Nicholai is a master assassin with a gift for languages and a passion for the game of go. Oh, by the way he is also the ultimate lover. I enjoyed "Shibumi" so much that I was really afraid to listen to "Satori." I took the chance and listened to "Satori" with the same pleasure that I got from listening to "Shimbumi." This is a great audiobook complemented by Holter Graham's narration. Awesome audio book...definitely a 5 star!

Why Can't We All Get Along?

Revisado: 10-22-11

"The Submission" is an excellent tale of what it means to be an American or Americans as the United States becomes more diverse. It is also an insight into the lives and backgrounds of people striving to create and keep a sense of community during tumultuous times. This is not a story that invites thinking through the issues of culture, religion, community, and nationalism from an academic perspective. It's about people who are contemplating, testing and redefining these ideas and assumptions in real time. From the offices of the mayor of New York City to the neighborhood pharmacy we see people tackling the most sensitive of issues. The story starts out a little slow but it gets better and better. I give this audiobook a 4.5- 5 star ranking.

Vortex is captivating!

Revisado: 07-13-11

I lost interest in the Spin trilogy after listening to Axis and almost decided not to listen to Vortex. I'm really glad I decided to listen to the last book of the Axis trilogy. Vortex is captivating, exciting and has well-developed characters. I think Vortex is better than both Spin and Axis. Bottom line: Vortex is a great story and one that I look forward to listening to again.

AN EXCITING AND EDUCATIONAL READ!

Revisado: 04-08-10

I was tempted to download "The Man from Beijing" when it was first released on Audible, but I wasn't sure if this was a story I would enjoy. Then last week during my lunch hour, I picked up a copy of the book and started reading it. I was immediately hooked. I went home that evening and downloaded this exciting novel. This is probably the best audio book I have listened to this year. I highly recommend it.

Great

Revisado: 02-03-10

Awesome book, but Freedom (the sequel) is better. A very promising writer.
