Resumen del Editor

Best-selling author Jonathan Maberry's Glimpse is a chilling audiobook thriller that explores what happens when reality and nightmares converge, and how far one will go to protect the innocent when their own brain is a threat.

Rain Thomas is a mess. Seven years an addict and three difficult years clean. Racked by guilt for the baby she gave up for adoption when she was 16. Still grieving for the boy’s father who died in Iraq. Alone, discarded by her family, with only the damaged members of her narcotics anonymous meetings as friends. Them, and the voices in her head. One morning, on the way to a much-needed job interview, she borrows reading glasses to review her resume. There is a small crack in one lens and through that damaged slice of glass she sees a young boy go running down the aisle of the subway train. Is he screaming with laughter or just screaming? When she tries to find the boy, he’s gone and no one has seen him.

The day spins out of control. Rain loses whole chunks of time. The voices she hears are telling her horrible things. And Doctor Nine, a spectral boogey man conjured in drug induced hallucinogens is now hunting her in the real world. Doctor Nine is also chasing that boy. A boy who looks so much like Rain’s dead boyfriend. Unsure whether she is insane or if the world itself is broken, Rain begins a mother’s quest for her lost child through a world where reality and nightmare are in a head-on collision. How far will one person go to save someone they love?

loved it!

couldn't wait to have to hit the road for work so i could find out what happened next!!

Pretty Interesting

This is one twisted story of a nightmare. The storyline was interesting to me. What I understand was that the main character was given the opportunity to change her life around or given a do-over of her life from the past 10 years. (I wasn't sure how to take it)

This. If Not Joe, Then This.

I don't know if everyone would call this horror, but it's my definition of this book. It reminds me of old Stephen King and of Joe Hill and maybe a little bit of Dean Koontz. Creepy but entertaining to a point where you can't stop listening. It was a true pleasure to read and the ending was awesome. I had to listen to it a couple of times to put it into perspective.

I'm almost never a fan of female narrators, but Ms. Galvin was the weakest point of the book. It didn't sound to me like she was invested in any way in the story (think Ray Porter). Most of the voices sounded the same to me. It's too bad.

Good story line

Enjoyed the story but I found that the pace lagged at times due to the overly descriptive style of the Author, it got tiresome after awhile and added nothing.

Gripping from the start!

Another gripping tale from the warped mind of Jonathan Maberry. Thanks again for sharing. Can hardly wait for the next one.

5 Stars!

As usual Mr Maberry has done it again! 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ .. he has yet to write something I don't love! this story was so well done, I was living it right along with the characters! READ IT!

Great book!!

I have listened to several books written by Mr. Mayberry and find them entertaining and worth the read! Keep then coming!

Fantastic

I was pleasantly surprised, an absolute original thrill ride! I listened non-stop. Narration was spot on.

Just read for 3rd time!!!!!

Compelling characters, incredible insight on interpersonal relationships. Story line that is immediately intriguing. Unique in so many ways. Narrator incredible.

Really different (in a good way)!

I really enjoyed this book. It was a great story and a good narrator. It had a slightly Stephen King vibe to it that I loved. Recommend.
