Sharp

A Mindspace Investigations Novel, Book 2

By: Alex Hughes

Narrated by: Daniel May

History has a way of repeating itself, even for telepaths....

As a Level Eight telepath, I am the best police interrogator in the department. But I’m not a cop - I never will be - and my only friend on the force, Homicide Detective Isabella Cherabino, is avoiding me because of a telepathic link I created by accident.

And I might not even be an interrogator for much longer. Our boss says unless I pull out a miracle, I’ll be gone before Christmas. I need this job, damn it. It’s the only thing keeping me sane.

Parts for illegal Tech - the same parts used to bring the world to its knees in the Tech Wars 60 years ago - are being hijacked all over the city. Plus Cherbino's longtime nemesis, a cop killer, has resurfaced with a vengeance. If I can stay alive long enough, I just might be able to prove my worth, once and for all....

great story, I can't wait for number 3

What made the experience of listening to Sharp the most enjoyable?

The narrator has one of the most pleasant voices I've heard yet in an audio book. The story is unique, something seldom seen these days in sci-fi-fantasy books. I loved every minute of these two novels by Alex Hughes and I can't wait for more.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Adam, the main character is a flawed, guilt ridden individual who is desperately trying to stay on the right path but life gets too much for him and he decides to go astray. However, fate seems to have other plans for him and he just keeps putting one foot in front of the other. His demons do come back to haunt him from time to time though.

Which character – as performed by Daniel May – was your favorite?

Adam of course.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When Schwartz is in the hospital and Adam realizes how important this man is to his survival, and his sanity.

Any additional comments?

Love the book and the narrator.

Same rants as the first book...

The book lost me about half way through. I still think the story is unique in concept but the author over uses many phrases and the main character complains so much about his lungs and being winded because he smokes but next scene is lighting up again, urghh....
In one scene he smokes six cigarettes in a row and wonders why he can't run!?!
I don't think I'll be moving on to book 3. I can't take anymore of repeated lines and constant whining of Adam.
The narrator is good with the male voices and with the female lead but every other female voice he does is awful.
I really wanted to like this series but I have to leave it here.

Lots of hype, delivered some

Author presented some novel ideas, I only wish he had expanded on the anti gravity auto...and his talent details I felt like too many things were not addressed and made the story somewhat disconnected.
Characters were good some of the voices by the reader were distracting...the book is okay but I think I am done with this series.

Sharp is sometimes a bit dull

This is the second book of the series. The storyline is okay, but you will have to reach the end before there is really much suspense. We are also forced to spend a bit too much time stuck in the main character's head as he wallows in guilt and self loathing. I'm going to try one more book. If the main character get's punched in the face by the woman he loves repeatedly in the next one, I'm done.

love this series

I am so happy I discovered this author. the future, telepathy, crime, and sci fi...what more could I ask for.
