Historia
For a young lawyer on the make, it was an offer Mitch McDeere couldn’t refuse: a position at a law firm where the bucks, billable hours, and benefits are over the top. It’s a dream job for an up-and-comer—if he can overlook the uneasy feeling he gets at the office. Then an FBI investigation into the firm’s connections to the Mafia plunges the straight and narrow attorney into a nightmare of terror and intrigue. With no choice but to pit his wits, ethics, and legal skills against the firm’s deadly secrets—if he hopes to stay alive…

It Is A Great Story, But Not A Great Undertaking

Narrator is amazing!
Revisado: 12-30-20
I was worried about the narrator due to a couple less than positive reviews however I am loving him. Scott Brick may be a new favorite of mine. The story is an absolute classic and a must read if you enjoy law drama/suspense. all in all the book and narrator suit (little joke) each other perfectly!
Spend your credit on this and it'll definitely be worth it!

Historia
It is The Campus. Secretly created under the administration of President Jack Ryan, its sole purpose is to eliminate terrorists and those who protect them. Officially, it has no connection to the American government - a necessity in a time when those in power consider themselves above such arcane ideals as loyalty, justice, and right or wrong.

Super monotone.
Revisado: 01-26-20
The book is great but the narrator is super bored. He speaks in monotone the while time. I was questioning if he was robot at times.

Historia
As his family splinters, worlds collide, and the police block all routes out of town, Nick Twisp must cope with economic deprivation, homelessness, the gulag of the public schools, a competitive Type-A father, murderous canines (in triplicate), and an inconvenient hair trigger on his erectile response, all while vying ardently for the affections of the beauteous Sheeni Saunders, teenage goddess and ultimate intellectual goad. He's smart, he's horny, he's resourceful, and he's on the loose.

Voice actor is very choppy and strange
Revisado: 01-06-20
The book is fantastic as I remember from teenagerhood. The voice actor is quite choppy and strange sounding. I was convinced it was a text to speech program with inflections at first. I hope I get used to it as Im only a few chapters in but just had to come warn people.

Overall very good, not nearly as bad as other say
Revisado: 03-30-19
Other reviews complain about certain aspects of this book and while agree with some, some others I don't agree with.
1. Your right, no chaplain would give an inquisitor his crozius arcanum, let alone an interrogator. That is stupid and stinks of Mary sue's perfume.
2. He doesnt have stormbirds, he has storm EAGLES. Big difference and its not impossible that the mechanicus would produce an inquisition model of it. Seems reasonable.
SPOILERS!
3. So the big plot point is that the big bad is trying to break into the throne and the inquisition + custodes must stop it. The other review says that it's stupid that the custodes wouldnt know how to stop it becuase they've been hunting in the tunnels for ten thousand years. Keep in mind that its the size of a continent and is almost as deep as it is long. Plus they dont all share their knowledge of past hunts with each other. AND the big bad uses a macguffin to blow a giant hole through the outer wall. The inquisitor just saw where there wasn't as many bodies and realized the custodes were going about it the wrong way. I dont agree that its stupid. The reasoning for the big bad to break away from its partners and to go on it's own to the throne was stupid but thats a different issue altogether.
All in all the book was good, added allot of new lore about the current state of life on the throne world. Becuase of this I'm working on a model form of the eternity gate that they described in the book.

absolutely incredible.
Revisado: 11-23-18
The ambient sound is incredibly immersive. it puts you in the world and allows you to feel like your truly there. Blaster fire, ship engines, wildlife. Its honestly beautiful.
The book itself is exciting and deep and much better than the current movies.
