    Four people in a car, hoping to make Chicago by morning. An hour behind them, a man lies stabbed to death in an old pumping station. He was seen going in with two others, but he never came out. He has been executed, the knife work professional, the killers vanished. Within minutes, the police are notified. Within hours, the FBI descends, laying claim to the victim without ever saying who he was or why he was there. All Reacher wanted was a ride to Virginia. All he did was stick out his thumb. But he soon discovers he has hitched more than a ride.

    Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

    What do you think your next listen will be?

    Any additional comments?

    Everything starts somewhere. For elite military cop Jack Reacher, that somewhere was Carter Crossing, Mississippi, way back in 1997. A young woman is dead, and solid evidence points to a soldier at a nearby military base. But that soldier has powerful friends in Washington. Reacher is ordered undercover - to find out everything he can, to control the local police, and then to vanish. Reacher is a good soldier. But when he gets to Carter Crossing, he finds layers no one saw coming, and the investigation spins out of control. Local sheriff Elizabeth Deveraux has a thirst for justice - and an appetite for secrets.

    Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

    BUTT ALMOST I feel like I time warped back before the first book which I hate. Why not just call this book number 1.

    Would you consider the audio edition of Killing Floor to be better than the print version?

    YES, BECAUSE I FALL ASLEEP READING ANYTHING.


    Have you listened to any of Dick Hill’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    FIRST TIME, NOW I LOOK FOR HIS NARATIONS.


    Any additional comments?

    DICK HILL IS ON THE CD THREE 3 PACKS FROM BRILLIANCE AUDIO FOR BOOKS 1 TO 9. THE ONLY DOWNSIDE IS THEY ARE ABRIGDED, BUT GOOD.

    Tyler Locke's routine commute on a Washington State ferry is interrupted by a chilling anonymous call claiming that his father has been kidnapped and that a truck bomb is set to detonate on board in twenty minutes. When Tyler, a former army combat engineer, reaches the bomb on the boat's car deck, he's stunned to find classical languages expert Stacy Benedict waiting for him. She's received the same threat and her sister has also been taken.

    Would you consider the audio edition of The Vault to be better than the print version?

    I feel that the audio versions immerse the reader into the story line more so that your imagination can visualize what is happening.
    I feel Boyd Morrison writes an excellent story and give you a good understanding of not only what is going on around the characters but of the strengths and weaknesses of the characters,


    Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

    Yes, I only stopped long enough to eat and sleep than ontinue on.
    I personally feel Tuler Locke is a better character than Jack Reacher whom I also reader I finish all three of Boyds audio books,


    If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

    I would say similar to the description of the title.
    But please use a stronger character than Tom Cruz (biger and wider) whom I think is one of the greastest,


    Any additional comments?

    I almost cried at the end of the book from letdown and the end of the story wanting more,
    As I did when i finished the ARK, I went right into this one, and have already downloaded the ROSWELL CONSPIRACY,
    thanks Mr Morrison.

    FYI I am a 56 year old male, who served as an E2 in the USAF during the viet nam era stateside.
    As a person with an extensive mechanical background, many certificates and an AS degree, I volunteered as a EMT and Firefuighter (ll) before I became a PARAMEDIC.
    With the premed education to go on to nursing school (was accepted for 2003) I permanently injured myself on an ambulance doing work as a paid PARAMEDIC.

    Only needing a few classes to complete my BS degree at CCSU, in CT., I am now a homeboby with a lot of pain and free time. the downside is I can no longer work or lift.
    No Sympathy required, just keep those great books coming.

    A century from now, thanks to a technology allowing instantaneous travel across light-years, humanity has solved its energy shortages, cleaned up the environment, and created far-flung colony worlds. The keys to this empire belong to the powerful North family - composed of successive generations of clones. Yet these clones are not identical. For one thing, genetic errors have crept in with each generation. For another, the original three clone "brothers" have gone their separate ways, and the branches of the family are now friendly rivals more than allies. Or maybe not so friendly....

    Hey Jack, I am disabled big time, ex paramedic, on fixed income.
    Books and tv are all I have.
    I really need to use audible as at 56 my eyes get tired and I fall asleep.
    You and other writers could have audible lower prices please.
    I have read all Lost Fleet, Lost Stars amd Stark series in last 4 months.
    5 of them are audible in last month. 6 of 3 abovce were kindle, and all of these I have in print from last year (except new releases).
