NSA director Theodore Anders has a simple goal: collect every phone call, email, and keystroke tapped on the Internet. He knows unlimited surveillance is the only way to keep America safe.
Evelyn Gallagher doesn't care much about any of that. She just wants to keep her head down and manage the NSA's camera network and facial recognition program so she can afford private school for her deaf son, Dash.
But when Evelyn discovers the existence of a program code-named God's Eye and connects it with the mysterious deaths of a string of journalists and whistle-blowers, her doubts put her and Dash in the crosshairs of a pair of government assassins: Delgado, a sadistic bomb maker and hacker, and Manus, a damaged giant of a man who until now has cared for nothing beyond protecting the director.
Within an elaborate game of political blackmail, terrorist provocations, and White House scheming, a global war is being fought - a war between those desperate to keep the state's darkest secrets and those intent on revealing them. A war that Evelyn will need all her espionage training and savvy to survive, because the director has the ultimate advantage: The God's Eye View.

The dark sex abuse plot aside, I enjoyed this standalone book for its great (albeit at times not credible) “government is always watching” vibe. Another, slightly more random praise is for the author’s dedication to diverse characters. He has written compelling characters in wheelchairs or on the spectrum and delivers here a deaf man who is a force to be reckoned with. The female MC is a little more of a damsel than his usual lethal ladies, but she’s still got more depth than your average romance heroine. While not my favorite book by this author, it was nonetheless a solid listen for the price.
Conspiracy, torture and an assassin named Marvin

I can't get into detail without spoilers, but what we have is a spectrum of villainy that plays out in a number of different, interesting ways. I can't think of an example of another story that does this, a refreshing change from many of my recent reads/listens that consistently remind me of all the popular books they borrow from. I'm sure there are points of comparison, but nothing obvious comes to mind.
What makes this multi-villain POV work is that it allows Eisler to examine the concept of government surveillance from a number of different angles, presenting the arguments pro and con as well as points in between. The only problem is how the story resolves itself -- again, can't get into detail without spoilers, but the resolution is story-specific, it doesn't address the greater questions that have been raised.
Nevertheless, I was happy with the book overall, with its straightforward storytelling and with its topical mcguffin. Eisler does a good job narrating his own work, most notably using vocal inflections for one of the main characters that is reminiscent of Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men.

Would you listen to The God's Eye View again? Why?
This is generally a pretty decent book, especially if you are just looking to be entertained without spending too much time thinking about the merits of the story. It's fast-moving and, in the wake of Snowden, pretty timely, too. It does, however, have its flaws which a reader/listener would need to overlook: the plot is generic, the characters are pretty stock and, in a couple cases, utterly cliché, the violence is over-the-top at times and the bizarrely-graphic sex scenes, which were really just audio-pornography, were certainly written more for the writer's pleasure than the reader's. Having said that, I was able to overlook the flaws did enjoy listening to itEntertaining, but with flaws
