Presenting Evan Tanner - the first series character created by Lawrence Block, best-selling author of A Walk Among the Tombstones...

Ever since a shred of shrapnel did a number on his brain's sleep center, Even Tanner has been awake 24/7. This gives him more time than your average underachiever. Time to learn the world's languages (he's fluent in Basque, but has trouble with Chinese). Time to embrace the world's lost causes and irredentist movements (The Flat Earth Society, the League for the Restoration of Cilician Armenia, the Society of the Left Hand). Time to write term papers theses for students with more money than knowledge. And, most importantly, time to do his dreaming while he's wide awake.

Karlis, Tanner's comrade in the Latvian Army in Exile, is pining for his true love, a gymnast who can't get out of the Soviet Union. So Tanner sneaks through a hole in the Iron Curtain, meets the child he unwittingly fathered on an earlier trip to Macedonia, smuggles a dissident intellectual out of Yugoslavia, adds to his retinue a six-year-old Lithuanian girl, who'd be the rightful heir to the Lithuanian throne if there ever were one, and winds up not with one Latvian gymnast but with a whole company of them. (Collect them all! Win valuable prizes!)

And he does all this without a passport. Oh, he had one, but he gave it away...

At the outset I must state that even though I consider myself a huge fan of Lawrence Block, but with that comes the embarrassment that I am not a fan of his Tanner series.

This Tanner tale has all of the elements of the series. The spy who never sleeps goes hither and yon on a fast moving adventure. The one element I like about the series, and will lift up in this work is the humor. Sometimes it is slight, and at other times boldly proclaimed, but the author writes in wry comments and observations throughout.

Where an audiobook can sink or swim is upon the back of the narrator, and I am always delighted when Theo Holland is on board, especially for a Block book. Mr. Holland clearly gets the intricacies within the written text and thus the aforementioned humor and more come out wonderfully in his reading of the material.

If you are a Block fan, then this is probably for you. If you want to hear a narrator who is not one of the overused usual folk then I commend you to listen to this work and hear Theo Holland presenting his typical good work.

Typical "Tanner" Novel Read Well

Tanner got himself into a mess, in this political plot with his added humor of what he does. New series and enjoyable. The audio by Theo had a good voice for the story, given audio for my voluntary review and my honest opinion

Good

I'm not a huge fan of the Tanner series because of all the political stuff. However, this book is making me more and more of a fan!!! It is exciting with some humor which counteracts all the political stuff for me. This book even though it talked a lot about the political side of things had way more of the interaction of the characters and their adventure. I found it so funny how Tanner got himself into this mess with drunken promises to a friend who clearly remembered them and was holding him to it. He decided to travel light......then along the way keeps picking up more and more and more people. It was hilarious. All the mishaps and problems leads them to the next way out and with everyone's help it all just falls into place. Then when they get back to the US....he's a super agent!!! I love how it ends and how Block wraps it all up. I defintely will be listening to the next book just to see what adventure Tanner is taken on next time and how it all ends up working out in his favor.

Holland does such an outstanding job with the accents and the characters. If you want to listen to a book that keeps your attention and isn't the mundane regular reading....then look up Theo Holland's books that he has narrated. He's an amazing narrator with such talent and really has changed how I view audio books. Block and Holland do a great job with this book as a team and I hope they will continue working together in the future.

Unexpected twists and turns!!!

I am currently working my way through the Evan Tanner series by Lawrence Block. I am a huge Lawrence Block fan but this is the first time I listened to/read the Tanner series.

Tanner is a Secret agent/spy that "fell into the job" (see book #1 for details) and has a knack for ending up in the middle of major events through out the world and finding ways to navigate the difficult situations. The stories are fun, unique and interesting!

As for the narrator...Theo Holland...I didn't like his narration in other Lawrence Block books but he seems to be a really good fit for the Evan Tanner series. IMO his voice fits the personality and demeanor of Tanner.

A great listen!

Best Evan Tanner yet...
