    In a locked Honolulu office building, three men are found dead with no sign of struggle except for the ultrafine, razor-sharp cuts covering their bodies. The only clue left behind is a tiny bladed robot, nearly invisible to the human eye. In the lush forests of Oahu, groundbreaking technology has ushered in a revolutionary era of biological prospecting. Trillions of microorganisms, tens of thousands of bacteria species, are being discovered; they are feeding a search for priceless drugs and applications on a scale beyond anything previously imagined.

    What would have made Micro better?

    Less detail in some of the scientific minutia!! Way too much time spent talking in scientific terms, and not enough time spent telling the story.


    What could Michael Crichton and Richard Preston have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

    Included some more action/excitement and less technical stuff


    What about John Bedford Lloyd’s performance did you like?

    Great portraying of different characters.


    What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

    None

    In 1969, at the age of twenty-three, Karl Marlantes was dropped into the highland jungle of Vietnam, an inexperienced lieutenant in command of a platoon of forty marines who would live or die by his decisions. Marlantes survived, but like many of his brothers in arms, he has spent the last forty years dealing with his war experience.

    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.

    Charlene Rosalind Carter Grant believes that she will be murdered in four days. And she wants Boston’s top detective to handle her death investigation. It will be up close and personal. No evidence of forced entry, no sign of struggle. Charlie tells a chilling story: Each year at 8:00 p.m. on January 21, a woman has died. The victims have been childhood best friends from a small town in New Hampshire; the motive remains unknown. Now only one friend, Charlie, remains to count down her final hours.

    What disappointed you about Catch Me?

    This book had little character development, and the narrator wasn't much better. Would request a refund if possible.


    What do you think your next listen will be?

    Something about serial killer(s)


    Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Kirsten Potter?

    The same person who read one of the Jack Reacher novels I just listened to.


    What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

    Disappointment
