Trust Me

By: Jeff Abbott

Narrated by: Luke Daniels

Luke Dantry tells people he has a job on the cutting edge of the war on terror - only he knows it's nowhere near as adrenaline-filled as he makes it sound. Luke's nightly task working for his stepfather's Washington think tank: Go undercover from the anonymous safety of his computer and seek out a wide spectrum of extremists who vent and organize online, a group he comes to call the "Night Road." Now and then he encounters someone who may have the capability to make good on his threats, but Luke figures that the vast majority of his targets are simply frustrated malcontents.

When Luke is kidnapped at gunpoint and left for dead in an isolated cabin deep in the woods, he realizes his work has made him a target, and that the Night Road is far more organized than he thought - and much closer to home than he could have ever imagined. After a daring escape, with both the Night Road and the police on his heels, he must quickly decipher a complex, murderous, and global web of connections that take him to Chicago, New York, and Paris, where the final questions extend deep into his own past - and where Luke alone may hold the key to stopping the Night Road before their horrifying plans turn America - and the world - into a battlefield forever.©2009 Jeff Abbott (P)2009 Brilliance Audio, Inc.

Great read

One of my favorite authors. Lots of action and exciting plot twists that left me saying whaaaat?!

Incredible Thriller

Incredible in this case means unbelievable. While the plot has validity, it includes at least 20 and possibly 28 episodes in which the untrained hero faces and is partly downed by evil forces with overwhelming odds against him. Yet each time, with luck, determination, and unsuspected skill, he wins out and survives. Just unbelievable!

Hated it

Read a Jeff Abbott book ("Fear") a year ago and liked it so much that I decided to try one of his audiobooks. Surprised at how much I hated this. Didn't like the reader (his voices were not always distinquishable). The central hero is unbelievable, and all the other characters in the beginning are people you can't root for. The plot of Fear I found unusual but plausible, not so with this book. For sure listen to a sample before buying this. Or try a different Abbot book.
