Acerca de esta escucha
If you love Jack Reacher...it's time you met The Preacher, the one-eyed ex-priest and Vietnam vet turned professional gambler who wanders the country seeking redemption.
The Preacher is playing the highest stakes poker game ever dealt. His opponents are mobsters, arms dealers, and terrorists. The jackpot is an atomic bomb. And if he loses, the entire city of Las Vegas will be dealt the Dead Man’s Hand. It's non-stop action and suspense featuring the most original hero in crime fiction.
The nuclear noir sequel to the sensational novel, The Preacher, a finalist for the Edgar Award from the Mystery Writers of America.

Historia
Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

No. 7 Ocean Drive is a gorgeous, multi-million-dollar beachfront estate in the Hamptons, where money and privilege know no bounds.

As with the previous Preacher novel, Shawn Compton is back and he once again does a great job bringing the story and characters to life.

As with the first book in this series, this type of story line is nothing new, but damn does this author and narrator know how to do it. It was so entertaining. I can't wait to see what Preacher does next!
So Good!

The poker playing preacher is still wearing black and taking names, this time in Las Vegas. There are no shortage of bad guys doing bad things and pinpointing who did what was multi-layered, multi-faceted, and multi-genius.
The narrator was excellent. Preacher is a bit of an unflappable character and Compton portrays him to the hilt!
This book had a satisfactory ending, with most loose ties put in their proper places. There was one dangling loose tie though, and I can't wait to see how it unravels in book three.
Can't get enough of this character!

Frankly, the story and plot are enough, but I so love the author’s writing. Hearing it read by the capable narrator makes me wish that both this book was longer as well as the only three volume series.
One could pick up this second entry, not having read the first and be in sync with the story, however the first book is worth the read as well.
Great Series, Entry and Author

Would you listen to The Preacher: Aces and Eights again? Why?
I definitely would. The story is intelligent and action packed.Which character – as performed by Shawn Compton – was your favorite?
The Preacher . Shawn Compton does a great job with him and all the other characters. I can see the them clearly in my mind.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
This book is a little king to do that with but , if I had whole day I probably would do it.Any additional comments?
This is the second book in a series. I haven’t listened to the first one and that’s not a problem. This stands alone. Definitely will go back and listen to the firstGripping story...

Where does The Preacher: Aces and Eights rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
"The Preacher: Aces and Eights" ranks fairly high in me in the mystery and thriller category.What other book might you compare The Preacher: Aces and Eights to and why?
The Wild West feel of the story, set in Los Vegas, reminds me of the Longmire series.Have you listened to any of Shawn Compton’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This is the first time I listened to this narrator.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
This is the first book I've listened to in the Preacher series. I found his backstory compelling - Viet Nam veteran, a professional gambler who uses his winnings to keep a small town afloat. He has martial arts knowledge and is a trained fighter, but also understands the psychology of his opponents.I appreciate the historical details the author includes. The information adds depth to the story without sounding like a university lecture.
Any additional comments?
I received this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.Preacher is a compelling character
