Gathering Prey

Prey, Book 25

De: John Sandford

Narrado por: Richard Ferrone

A terrifying Lucas Davenport thriller from number one New York Times best-selling author and Pulitzer Prize–winner John Sandford. They call them Travelers. They move from city to city, panhandling, committing no crimes - they just like to stay on the move. And now somebody is killing them.

Lucas Davenport’s adopted daughter, Letty, is home from college when she gets a phone call from a woman Traveler she’d befriended in San Francisco. The woman thinks somebody’s killing her friends, she’s afraid she knows who it is, and now her male companion has gone missing. She’s hiding out in North Dakota, and she doesn’t know what to do.

Letty tells Lucas she’s going to get her, and, though he suspects Letty’s getting played, he volunteers to go with her. When he hears the woman’s story, though, he begins to think there’s something in it. Little does he know. In the days to come, he will embark upon an odyssey through a subculture unlike any he has ever seen, a trip that will not only put the two of them in danger - but just may change the course of his life.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Sandford has always been at the top of any list of great mystery writers, and this book shows why. His writing and the appeal of his lead character are as fresh as ever." ( The Huffington Post)

"There is no limit to John Sandford's ability to keep new breath and blood flowing into his Lucas Davenport novels. This is a series you must be reading if you are not already." (Bookreporter.com)

Pretty good.

The near endless victims of senseless killing was a bit bothersome, but Lucas Davenport is still a cool guy.

Sandford/Davenport define thriller perfection.

OK, once again I’ve come to the end of this entire series. There remains one last thing terribly wrong. I’ve got to wait too long for the next Davenport or Flowers novel. Grumble.

Manson Family comes alive again!

Where does Gathering Prey rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Among the top ten. I have listened to all 25 Prey Novels by Sandford and I think Richard Ferrone narrated all but 1 book. He is fantastic! He is LUCAS DAVENPORT! What a great voice! I truly hope Sandford uses him for all of his books until he stops writing. Also, with that voice he would be great narrating detective, mystery, horror etc. Check his voice out!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Letty, Sandford developed her character wonderfully. She was a pleasure to have added to the series! I love the way he made her just like him.

Have you listened to any of Richard Ferrone’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

The same as all of the others, he's wonderful!!!!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I not only listened to it but I read it in one sitting. (Immersion Reading)

Any additional comments?

Yes, Richard Ferrone made these books.The way he brought Del, Sloan, and Lucas' other buddies come to life was amazing. He had me laughing when certain characters came in because of their personalities and the way he and Sandford played with them throughout the years. There has to be some kind of camaraderie for them to have a relationship like that for so many years! I just hope this wasn't "their" last Prey book!!!!!

Good story well executed.

My first experience with a John Sandford book I will certainly be listening to more in the future. Highly recommended

One of the best

I loved this latest Lucas Davenport book. The ending has me wondering what is going to happen! Great read!

Totally engaging !!

Great read. Love the maturing Letty. All the characters ring true. Written so well, that one can imagine every scene like a movie in your head.

Another Doozy!

Love every one of these books - there is no other like Lucas Davenport-hate for it to end! Great story

another good audio book.

I wondered if this book would end like this. Wont ruin it for everyone.
I still worry about Mr. Sandford though. He thinks this stuff up.
...as long as he never acts on this stuff.

Loved It!!

Loved all the main characters. First time reading this author. Will be reading more. Will have to check other series.

A great read!

Favorite writer, second favorite character (Lucas), after Sandford's Virgil Flowers. Great reader, great story. I often listen again to old Sandford books after disappointing ones from new authors.
