Publisher's summary

The anomaly called the Breach is the government’s most carefully guarded secret.

But there is another secret even less known... and far more terrifying.

As the U.S. President addresses the nation fromthe Oval Office, a missile screams toward the White House. In a lightning flash, the Chief Executive is dead, his mansion in ruins, and two cryptic words are the only clue to the assassins’ motives: “See Scalar.”

Now Travis Chase of the covert agency Tangent - caretakers of the Breach and all its grim wonders - along with partner and lover Paige Campbell and technology expert Bethany Stewart, have only twenty-four hours to unearth a decades-old mystery once spoken of in terrified whispers by the long since silenced. But their breakneck race cross-country - and back through time and malleable memory - is calling the total destructive might of a shadow government down upon them. For Travis Chase has a dark destiny he cannot be allowed to fulfill....

On Sale Surprise!

This is my first time reading Patrick Lee. Deep Sky was an Audible Sale Pick, based on previous books I have read. And I was super surprised. Could not put it down. One of those gets you right from the beginning books. Which are my favorite. If you like Sci-Fi, intrigue, secrets from the past and the future, this one is for you. [Smile]

Not so sure it's the end....

Where does Deep Sky rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

In the top 25 %. Not the most sparkling book,but compelling in many regards. It certainly makes sense of " The Breach" and moves the story along way forward, both for the characters, and the storyline itself.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The dudes from the future are pretty interesting.

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

Relatively good all the time, but perhaps abit overdone at times. Listenable to be sure.

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

Not really. Can't react that way to the future, as it were.

Any additional comments?

Clearly left the door open for sequels, which is good as it is a wonderful storyline, worth continuing. You will enjoy this if you started with "TB".

I want the last installment. Please?

I'm really hoping for the final book and that Travis Allows his friends to do what's needed. What's 20million? Truly I'd like to see how that could possibly play out...

Great Science Fiction you don't want to end

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

I thought the ending was fitting and wrapped up the series very well. I hope Patrick Lee isn't done with Science Fiction. He has a lot of great ideas and this series proves it.

Which character – as performed by Jeff Gurne – was your favorite?

The lead of course.

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

As if written by Phillip K. Dick but directed by John McTiernan.

Great Story, Perfect Narration

Any additional comments?

It's a shame that it's the end of the series. I would have carried on reading a few more of these storylines.

Great Trilogy

The Breach trilogy is great, suspenseful and mysterious, it’s always held my attention. Jeff Gurner does an excellent job of portraying the tension in the writing and I quite like his style of narration. I’d recommend this series to anyone who loves action and adventure with a bit of mystery.

I wasn't digging it at first. Got better

It got better I didn't like it at first. Definitely glad I listened to the previous two books

Sad to see the series end...

We need just one more book :)! Such a great story full of complexities that keep you interested in the unfolding of plots and the unexpected twists that keep me on the edge of my seat!

Brilliant

Brilliant conclusion to the trilogy. I love stories that actually give you answers to the questions raised, and not just leave it up to you to "draw your own conclusion." That's just lazy writing as far as I'm concerned. No laziness here. Nice pay-off.

This book is a wild ride!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. For someone who enjoys mind bending sci-fi, surprise turns of plot and suspense I would highly recommend this book. It is well written and well read ... a total gas.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Character development was well done for a book of this genre.

What about Jeff Gurne’s performance did you like?

What's not to like? His narration was top notch.

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

Beware the Breach!

Any additional comments?

I was totally engaged while listening and didn't want to stop.
