About this listen

Carl "Granny" Granville is a young, talented writer who is given the chance of a lifetime: a contract to ghostwrite a sure-fire best-selling political thriller. The inside source will be known only as Gideon. His real identity will never be revealed. But the information Granny receives - and then turns into a book - will change the course of history.

Then the murders begin - first his editor, then the gorgeous neighbor with whom he's been having an affair. The mysterious go-between has disappeared. And his publisher has never heard of Gideon or Granny. Suddenly Carl Granville is a man alone, on the run, and wanted for murder.

Surprising. Worth The Time. Terrific Production

Yes it's a political novel. But... don't be too quick to judge Andrews' ideology. He is not preaching here... and yet until the end you will be pretty certain he is. I don't care if you're politics run to Vince Flynn or Stephen King - Andrews will bother and then reward you.

That said, Andrews creates the kind of minimally dimensional characters that good thriller fiction needs, and... no.. no.... I think that James Daniels creates them in his reading. But... no... they're a team and the production is winning.

That said, this is well plotted, briskly paced, and perfect for the gym, the long drive, the morning run, bike ride, or a summer beach or backyard relaxing.

I wanted to listen to more Andrews after listening to Gideon... Unfortunately I went backward to start with his first audio novel, Icarus. I wish I hadn't but rather had worked forward. You can tell by looking at my Icarus review.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
