Murder Island

A Doc Savage Thriller

De: James Patterson, Brian Sitts

Narrado por: Suzanne Elise Freeman, Tim Lounibos

From #1 New York Times bestselling author James Patterson, Professor Brandt Savage and his girlfriend Kira Sunlight thought they found heaven on earth—but their paradise becomes a nightmare when they stumble on a terrifying conspiracy.

When professor turned crime-fighter Brandt "'Doc'"Savage and his girlfriend Kira Sunlight land on a desert island in the middle of the Atlantic, they think they've found a perfect utopia. An escape from their tumultuous pasts.

But they don't have long to enjoy their newfound peace before they are violently separated and dragged to opposite ends of the Earth.

Doc's search for Kira takes him from the coast of Brazil to northern Europe and the jungles of the Congo, and he discovers they are entangled in a global conspiracy that is bigger he ever could have imagined.

Nothing

One of my least favorite. This book was very hard to follow. I felt like it started in the middle of the story. But I didn’t realize that I started with book 2

Here we go again!

I loved the fact Doc Savage & Kiera Sunlight. are an unstoppable unbeatable team. This book has it all ... bombings, kidnappings, assinattions, setups, murders & a plot for world domination. The actors bring this book to life right before your eyes. Trust me ... you won't want to turn it off.

Repetitive

Not one of Patterson’s better books much repetition. Not sure where story was heading. Ended up with a different place.

The second of the "new" Doc Savage books

We pick up the story of the great grandson of the original Doc Savage and the great granddaughter of John Sunlight moments after the conclusion of the previous book as they are being pursued by a group of highly trained assassins. From there the story never really slows down. Explosions, escapes, marooned on an island, murders, not one but two megalomaniacs set on world domination, child armies, mercenaries, and plenty of danger and daring do.

This honestly reads (listens) a lot like a modern writing of the original Doc Savage books. Yes, there is swearing and some sex, but neither in excess and well within realistic bounds of modern storytelling.

This book SEEMS to provide a reasonable end to the story of these characters, but the door is still ajar for more adventures. If you are a fan of high adventure and enjoy the style of the old pulp novels, you will enjoy this book. I do enjoy those things and I greatly enjoyed the book. I recommend it.

Poor reading and outlandish impossible events in the story

Being disappointed by one of my favorite authors this book is one of the worst I’ve ever read, and I don’t know why I bother to finish it
