But when his father dies, Rigg is stunned to learn just how many secrets Father had kept from him - secrets about Rigg’s own past, his identity, and his destiny.

    Story

    I was grabbed by the story from the begining and couldn't stop listeing. To say that OSC gives new dimension to writing may be cliche but the maze of time jumping gave a very new and original feel. I loved this audio book and can't wait til book 2. Adding this to your library is for certain a great choice!!

    In a novel that slams through one hairpin surprise after another, Lee Child unleashes a thriller that spans three decades and gnaws at the heart of America...and for Jack Reacher, a man who trusts no one and likes it that way, it's a mystery with only one answer the kind that comes when you finally get face-to-face and look your worst enemy in the eye.

    What did you love best about Gone Tomorrow?

    I am a vet. I served 11 years, not 13. Of the 11 years, most of them would have overlapped Reacher's service time. I relate to so many things in these stories, for example, I was affected by the RIF and got out. Perhaps my experience in service is why I enjoy the Jack Reacher books, but you can't argue, Lee Child throws down a story that keeps you guessing to the end with more twists and turns than a rattle snake. And this guy, Dick Hill, delivers an incredible performance each and every time. Hill quantifies and defines Reacher in his unique and clever reading. And lastly, the character Jack Reacher, I don't know if this guy is based on real life people, but If so, DAMN. lf only I was a fraction as tough as Reacher.... but is anyone as tough as Reacher? No, I don't think so. Definitely Read or Listen to this series. What a Ride!

    Nine of us came here. We look like you. We talk like you. We live among you. But we are not you. We can do things you dream of doing. We have powers you dream of having. We are stronger and faster than anything you have ever seen. We are the superheroes you worship in movies and comic books—but we are real.

    I've seen him on the news. Followed the stories about what happened in Ohio. John Smith, out there, on the run. To the world, he's a mystery. But to me . . . he's one of us.

    Where does The Power of Six rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

    Edge of my seat the whole way through.... the story line alone puts it at the top of my Sci-fi favorites list.


    What was one of the most memorable moments of The Power of Six?

    When seven healed Hector's mother.


    Which scene was your favorite?

    The fight in the caves with the Mogs.


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    When John was trying to wrap his head around his friend Sam getting left behind, a pretty moist moment there.


    Any additional comments?

    Wonderful listen and if I would recomend any book to young or old, this new series of books would be it. Can't wait for the next one!!

    They mustn't harm a human being, they must obey human orders, and they must protect their own existence...but only so long as that doesn't violate rules one and two. With these Three Laws of Robotics, humanity embarked on a bold new era of evolution that would open up enormous possibilities, and unforeseen risks.
