Gideon's Sword

De: Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child

Narrado por: John Glover

New York Times bestselling authors Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child pair up to present the unforgettable character Gideon Crew: trickster, prodigy, master and thief.

At twelve, Gideon Crew witnessed his father, a world-class mathematician, accused of treason and gunned down.

At twenty-four, summoned to his dying mother's bedside, Gideon learned the truth: His father was framed and deliberately slaughtered. With her last breath, she begged her son to avenge him.

Now, with a new purpose in his life, Gideon crafts a one-time mission of vengeance, aimed at the perpetrator of his father's destruction. His plan is meticulous, spectacular, and successful.

But from the shadows, someone is watching. A very powerful someone, who is impressed by Gideon's special skills. Someone who has need of just such a renegade.

For Gideon, this operation may be only the beginning ...

After reading the Pendergast series I was expecting a tighter story line.

Still good but I was expecting more from this power house writing team. Characters were well developed.

Not really sure...

Of what I thought, I love the two authors very much. But something seems to be missing??? The excitement is there and then Gideon seems to disappear and someone else enters...more when I read book 2.

They are doing it again!

Gideon Crewe has still to mature,b but the the same cadence,that makes Lincoln and Child such amazing story tellers ,held me spell bound

A new adventure to ride

Would you listen to Gideon's Sword again? Why?

Maybe, in a few years. A book has to really stick with me to read again and I won't know that for awhile.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Gideon's Sword?

Any additional comments?

This looks like another great ride to go on with Preston & Child

Very entertaining

Personally, I like the Pendergast series a little more, but this was a great opener for the Gideon Crew series.

Only issue I had with the performance is that the guy clearly isn’t very good with accents. He just really couldn’t deliver when the character required it. Other than that it was good though.
