Maybe I expected too much
Revisado: 01-07-21
The book meanders through three different storylines and then suddenly ends with a partial resolution of one storyline and no resolution of the other two. It felt like the author just ran out of energy and said "Well, that's all I've got." The reading was pretty good other than the female voiced characters sounded like effeminate males. It's very hard for a male to do a female voice.

An experimental training program produces a psychokinetic, a man who can move objects by mental power alone. He has other abilities as well. But is he too powerful? What if the Special Talents decide to go their own way?

An interesting premise poorly executed.
Revisado: 11-22-20
The premise of psychic powers harnessed and developed by the CIA, was quite interesting, but the writing stumbled along varying between completely predictable and complete illogical. The author wrote clunky dialog and I kept asking myself, "is that really how this character or any character would react?"
The narrator read the book with little inflection and mispronounced so many words that continuing to listen was an exercise in patience. "Brigadier" was always pronounced "bridge-a-deer". Every time the word "especially" was read, it was read as if it is spelled "expecially" and corps (as in Marine Corps) was pronounced as corpse (as in a dead body.) Probably worst of all though, since it was one of the main settings, was the mispronunciation of "Juarez" as "Her-rez." instead of "Wha - rez" At least he knew that the J was pronounced as an H, I guess.
