Publisher's summary

Anyone who dares challenge the Rho Project is being systematically picked off. At the top of the hit man’s death list: NSA fixer Jack Gregory, and the three teenagers who first exposed the Rho Project’s dark agenda to the world.

On the run for their lives, Heather, Mark, and Jennifer know that the Rho Project’s alien nano-technology has been released into the world, disguised as a miracle cure. But what they don’t yet know is that the serum has taken on a life of its own, modifying human DNA in a way that even its engineers cannot control - one that will alter the very fabric of humanity.

Excellent storytelling - though a bit over the top

Picking up where "The Second Ship" left the listener, "Immune" throws you back into the world of the Rho Agenda - a world of suspense, muddling and scheming! Preying on our fears Richard Phillips weaves a web of intrigue that makes over the top nonsense seem real.

In my review of "The Second Ship" I indicated that that book reminder me very much of the comic "Danger Girls" without the girls. "Immune" reminds me of the "Punisher" set loose in the world of "Danger Girls."

It is quite enjoyable and could stand alone.

I've either gotten used to MacLeod Andrews voice or he has improved a lot. He kept me from opting out and enhanced the story by using different tones of voice.

I am amazed how believable Richard Phillips can make that which is unbelievable. If you are a conspiracy theorist or just like considering those possibilities, this book is for you!

good one

need to have more and more these kinds of audiobooks

Excellent book and narration!

This is the 2nd book in this series, I have really enjoyed everyone! Narrator is excellent!

Far better and more exciting than the first....

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

The least interesting aspect is definitely the high school and parents storyline which is why book one was so....I don't want to say bad, but boring maybe. As soon as the author did away with that part of the storyline the book became more interesting.

Was Immune worth the listening time?

I wanted to see where the story was going with the alien tech and alien conflict that downed the ships. That is basically the only reason I went on from book one. I can say happily that the author does a much better job in creating conflict and action in this book. It still wasn't a hardcore drama, but the sci fi does ramp up a notch along with the action.

Any additional comments?

Again, this series is probably not going to be everyone's cup of tea, but its an okay sci-fi story. This book graduated several levels above the previous book so I think I will go ahead and see the conlusion to the series - or the next book at least - since I don't know if that one will end in a cliff hanger or not.

Not up to first and third, and mispronunciation

I found the story lagged a bit and had the characters, particularly Jen, acting in ways that did not fit with their supposed intelligence. The pronunciation of Espinoza was completely wrong and annoying. The third book in the series rescued the series for me.

Cannot stop listening!

I was hooked after book 1 and can't wait to move on to book 3. At the beginning of the series I was skeptical that everything seemed to be in the hands of high schoolers but the author has done a great job of keeping them teenagers while also showing their growth in light of their newfound responsibilities.

I will say there are a TON of characters to keep track of but you don't get lost as with other books. Jack is the more mysterious character, and the hardest to figure out, but I'm going to keep trying.

Something Different but interesting.

These two books were good. This is a Tom Clancy meets Star Trek type book. I enjoyed the plot and it did not get boring. I can't wait for another installment to the story.

great plot, perfect presentation.

Accurate & believable sci Fi. Digustingly corrupt politicians & bureaucrats. complex good guys & tough, heroic women.

The truth is out there.

Any additional comments?

This is a very enjoyable series thus far. All the charters have some great depth. It is getting real good. This book could maybe stand alone. However if you just jumped into this story, you would be missing out of a great series. I know I'm on to the next story. check it out. i know you will enjoy it.

better than 1st book. I did like it

I enjoyed this book, 1st in series was hard to get into but this flowed better and faster.
