Deadly Odds

De: Allen Wyler

Narrado por: Chris Sorensen

Best-selling author, Allen Wyler, (Dead End Deal, Deadly Errors, Dead Ringer, Dead Wrong) is back with a new breakout suspense thriller with a techno edge, Deadly Odds.

Twenty-three year old Arnold Gold is a Seattle-based odds-maker and local computer genius. Described as a 'part-time hacker and full-time virgin' by his friends, the awkward young shut-in flies to Vegas to try and get lucky - in more ways than one. But his high stakes activity on the Net inadvertently thrusts him into a vortex of international terrorism.

Dark Net Hacking has resulted in murder, and now it will take every last bit of Arnold's genius intellect and legendary hacking skill to stay one step ahead of the murderous terrorists, the FBI, the local cops and his lawyer. Gold's only chance to save himself is to find the location of a bomb hidden somewhere in Vegas, and somehow prevent the explosion that will turn Sin City into the scene of the deadliest terror attacks since 9/11 Wyler's wild new thriller is as horrifyingly plausible as it is darkly funny and enjoyable.

Deadly Odds is not only a pause-resisting listen, it's a terrific character-driven story about a young man who lives life through a computer and discovers its dark side. Edgy, twitchy and filled with enough tech savvy detail to keep both the techno-thriller and classic suspense fan enthralled, Deadly Odds is a new generation's thrill ride.

fun book

great story and good performance, I like the leading character, and how the book flowed

Great story

The only problem I had was in the narration. There were times when you couldn’t tell if it was the character’s thoughts or if he was speaking out loud because of course you can’t see the quotation marks on Audible

was a good book

story was good, so was the narrator.
I would read it again without a doubt.

Wow, what a story

It was imaginative, with lots of real life situations. I was impressed with the technology parts as it was spot on.

Stupid

Nobody is as stupid and unlucky as our hero. Especially since he’s in the top ten percent of the most intellectual people in the world.

Surprisingly good

I bought it on sale on a whim. I was pleasantly surprised. I'll buy more from this author.

the story was very believable

my dislike was the writer would over analyze at time's instead of just letting the story explain it self

NOT GREAT

The story was ok but not that great. No surprises and a constant swearing and saying Jesus name. Unpleasant for that reason. I guess the author feels a real man has to swear.

A good listen

This was my first listen by Wyler and narrator Chris Sorensen. I was impressed and look forward to more by these two.

The story is a bit of a stretch

This book was not great, but not bad either. There are multiple aspects that strain credulity, but if you can put that aside the general writing and pace are good. While sex is one of the themes, it isn't explicitly described. It was okay overall, but I won't seek out any other works by Allen Wyler.
