WIRED

By: Douglas E. Richards

Narrated by: Peter Berkrot

The breathtaking New York Times and USA Today bestseller!

Kira Miller is a brilliant genetic engineer who discovers how to temporarily achieve savant-like capabilities in all areas of thought and creativity. But what if this transcendent level of intelligence brings with it a ruthless megalomania?

David Desh left the special forces after his team was brutally butchered in Iran. Now he has been reactivated for one last mission: find Kira Miller, the enigmatic genius behind a bioterror plot that threatens millions. But when Desh learns that the bioterror plot is just the tip of the iceberg, he is thrust into a byzantine maze of deception and intrigue, and he becomes a key player in a deadly game he can't begin to understand - a game that is certain to have a dramatic impact on the future course of human history.

Cool integration of modern tech

This guy writes pretty much the same story each time, but I love them. He includes modern and near future tech in new and novel ways. love it!

Story cops out

It def feels like the story takes the cheap way out. I love the premise and was on edge about the genetic mods story line, but the whole “SURPRISE” here’s the answer big twist didn’t feel like a realistic possibility.

Good story...Tough listen

I’m currently about 1/2 way into this book...story is really good but it’s really hard to listen to. So much so, I had to write a review of this now.

The narrator...wow! Every voice is a William Shatner. Literally...! His portrayal of a tough-guy is a sneering Capt Kirk from the Starship Enterprise.

Peter Berkrot, if you read this...quit it. You wreck the book by channeling James T. in every...single...character...voice!

Hint: Doug, get Ray Porter or Pierce Bronson to read your next book.

The story itself...is really good so far....this is why I will push through the nauseating narration even though I have to continually push down the urge to vomit...

Good story, but narrator volume frustratingly quiet sometimes

I listened to this audiobook after thoroughly enjoying “split second”. I definitely plan on listening to more audiobooks from Douglas E Richards!
My biggest problem with this audiobook was the narrator’s voice volume would get very quiet sometimes, like down to a whisper. Great narration when I could hear him. Even with my volume turned all the way up it was very easy to frequently miss important intensely quiet moments because of this, which was frustrating too often.

Narrator's voice is annoying

Voice annoyingly jumps from loud to quiet and because of that sometimes it is hard to follow.
