Resumen del Editor

From Wall Street Journal bestselling author Richard Bard comes the next highly anticipated Brainrush thriller, a mind-gripping action adventure that spans three continents, and two books: Everlast and Ephemeral.

A gifted boy forced to grow up too fast... A father who will do anything to protect him... A madman bent on destroying them both.

In Amsterdam, a visionary scientist is laying the groundwork for a cybernetic life-extension project that will transfer individual consciousness to a personalized avatar. Halfway around the world, his brilliant grandson is secretly planning to use the same technology to infiltrate the world’s most secure networks. But the scientific advances necessary to perfect the brain-to-computer interface are slow in coming, too slow for the aging founder of the Everlast foundation - who may die before realizing his dream of immortality - and too slow for his ruthless grandson, who will stop at nothing to attain the recognition that is his birthright.

Caught in the middle are Jake Bronson and his seven-year-old son, Alex, whose combined mental gifts might provide the key to leapfrogging the impasse.

Excellent and rivoting! I can't wait to listen to Books 6 and 7, No Refuge and Against All Odd! I really enjoy narrator. R. C. Bray. He makes this great series come alive!

A spellbinding thriller and stunning cliffhanger

What made the experience of listening to Ephemeral the most enjoyable?

The story, the characters, the intrigue, tension, and the narrator combine to make this fifth listen in the Brainrush series just as captivating as the previous four. I could not put it down.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Ephemeral?

Too many to pick just one...but the ending.....cliff hanger! Very much looking forward to the next book.

Which scene was your favorite?

The release of the innocent children.

Any additional comments?

I discovered Richard Bard quite by accident...purchasing the first book in this series, Brainrush, in a sale...because it was read by a favourite narrator, R. C. Bray. I was hooked from page one and listened my way through all five in very short order.

Unbelievable thrill after thrill!

I enjoyed Ephemeral as much as the first trilogy. Richard Bard is an amazing writer and I can't wait for the follow up to this duology. RC Bray is a fantastic narrator. If you want an exciting, edge of your seat thriller, this is it!

I Knew It! 1 more coming

Superb crafting of a story from different perspectives leaving us with a frustrating ending. Not so much a cliffhanger but a 'OhMan!' Good job Richard and RC. Do I really have to wait 6 months for book 6? I enjoy the suspense and mystery with a little superhuman or extraterrestrial entwined and look for more even after the last book. You hear me Mr. Bard! I want my mini!
