Acerca de esta escucha
Desperate Journeys by Russ Towne takes listeners on a thrill ride with five gripping stories of suspense where ordinary people face impossibly long odds, conquer fear, and find the strength to survive horrifying circumstances.
"Desperate Journey": It’s everyone’s worst highway nightmare. A breakdown on the road to the “happiest place on Earth” leads to a night of terror for one teenage boy.
"No Choice at All": A road trip for an interview with the boss turns into a night of lethal danger and desperate courage when a man stops to give roadside assistance.
"The Blood Oath": A mother’s secret, a lost identity, and a father’s decision bring peril to a man who learns who he is and what he’s made of in trying to save a young woman.
"The Misunderstanding": A luggage mix-up focuses a violent criminal’s attention upon a mild-mannered man and his family.
"The Patsy": A swindler with violent tendencies discovers elderly widows can be dangerous, too.

Historia
Like millions of Americans, Dr. John VanDuyne is stunned to watch President Tom Winston announce his plans to legalize narcotics in a radical bid to destroy the power of the drug cartels. Especially since, as Winston’s personal physician and a government health spokesman, VanDuyne might have expected some prior warning. And now he’s going to be right in the firing line when the uproar begins. For President Winston, his daring plan could turn out to be political suicide. For VanDuvne, it’s going to be much worse than that.

To the police, it looks like suicide, or a stunt gone wrong. Her estranged daughter, Remmi, knows the answer isn’t so simple. Though dressed in Didi’s clothes and wig, the broken body on the sidewalk isn’t Didi...

Historia
Tara Beckley is a senior at idyllic Hammel College in Maine. As she drives to deliver a visiting professor to a conference, a horrific car accident kills the professor and leaves Tara in a vegetative state. At least, so her doctors think. In fact, she's a prisoner of locked-in syndrome: fully alert but unable to move a muscle. Trapped in her body, she learns that someone powerful wants her dead - but why? And what can she do, lying in a hospital bed, to stop them?

Historia
Matthew Riker keeps to himself, doesn't cause trouble, and never talks about his past. But after a chance encounter with a woman and a small child on the run, Riker will have to make a choice: use his hard-won skills to protect two innocent victims, or stay in the safety of his quiet life. What follows is an adrenaline-soaked thrill ride that will take Riker on a cross-country chase, through the seedy underbelly of a New York criminal empire, and into the darkest places of the human heart.

Outstanding!
I can only hope this author Ross town right more books like this. I totally enjoyed them all of them. Where the good wins against the bad guy. All parts store is the great I really can’t say which one was my favorite but the one with the truckers and the teenage boy was really good, but the one with Luke having to save Jennifer that was really good too they were all really good I love them! If you love normal people saving the day you will absolutely love the stories. Not to mention the narrator was awesome he did such a great job. Sometimes I wish I could give a book more than five stars but alas I cannot so I will just give it five stars across-the-board.

Intense stories
This was an interesting compilation of stories - all well-written, all well-narrated. I was a little uncomfortable with all of the stories having an undercurrent of direct or indirect sexual assault but that was the catalyst that drove the desperation in all of the stories.

LOVED IT!
I loved it! The narration was great and kept me entertained. The author did a great job with the characters. I liked that you get five stories all in one book. This was not my first book by this author, I previously read Touched and enjoyed it as well. I look forward to reading more books by this author. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Solid Writing
A solid collection of suspenseful stories. Short but definitely kept my interest with each story.
Narration was fitting for this collection.
This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.
