Narrado por: R.C. Bray

Audie Award Finalist, Mystery, 2014

Book 1 of the Brainrush series was touted in Tthe Wall Street Journal as the number one Bestselling Action/Adventure in their "Readers Guide to Self-Published Big Sellers" (December 9, 2011). This sequel, The Enemy of my Enemy, was released in early December 2011 to rave reviews. Within a few weeks it became the number one Top-Rated Action/Adventure AND the number two Top-Rated Mystery/Thriller on Amazon.

Former combat pilot Jake Bronson believed the worst was behind him. But when a sophisticated terrorist cell shows up in his hometown, he's drawn into a conflict that threatens the heart and soul of every mother in America. The bonds of love and loyalty are tested as Jake and his friends are swept into a deadly chase that takes them from the beaches of California to the depths of the world's longest underground river, and finally to the remote jungles of the Venezuelan rain forest - where Jake discovers that it will take far more than his enhanced abilities to prevent what is coming.

Fantastic, just gets better

This series is so good, I just love it. It's full of action, twists and excellent writing. I'm anxious to start the next book and see where this goes. If you haven't read or listened to these books yet, you must, go do it now, you will be in for a thrill ride. The amazing narration will keep you entertained for hours.

Enthralling listening experience

We have just finished listening to Brainrush II and can't wait for Brainrush III! Wonderful story lines, characters, beautifully described. Thank you for providing so much entertainment to my husband and I. Love your work.

Very enjoyable

I advise you to get the entire series. You will be up all night. ENJOY!!!

Ok ok

Weak plot... Low quantity on plot high on details of Good guys being chased by bad guys and vice versa again and again.

Jake Bronson’s life is back to normal, until...

Following on from the events in ‘Brainrush’ Jake Bronson’s life is back to normal, until a terrorist tries to get payback for what Jake did at the end of the last book. Aware that all is not ok, Jake and his friends are hunted by an enemy they thought to be dead. This time the evil terrorist has even more sinister plans in store, not only do they want to make Jake pay but they are on American soil and about to release a toxin that will change America forever. When Jake finds out the extent of the plans, he and his gang of misfits make unlikely alliances in order to neutralise the threat….but will they make it on time?

I think I may be slightly in love with Jake Bronson – he is a hero everyone can support, he cares for his friends and family, willing to do whatever it takes to make them safe. Richard Bard is fast becoming one of my favourite authors, he really knows how to weave a fun and action-packed story. He has such a way with words that you cannot help but care for and identify with the characters. Although I’m not too fond with how he ends the books – It makes me crave the next audio book, thankfully I have the next one ready to go.

R.C.Bray is on fine form in this audio book, he has a great ability to grab the listener’s attention and not let go. I’ll be honest, I have done absolutely nothing today but listen to this audio book, that’s over 10 heavenly hours of enjoyment. The production is flawless and the addition of the music at the beginning and end of the audio book adds an air of suspense. If you haven’t yet spent any time with Mr. Bray may I suggest you start, it really is a fun experience. Start with the first book in this series though.

COMPELLING

Would you listen to The Enemy of My Enemy again? Why?

I LOVED IT. I KEPT THINKING - HOW WILL THEY GET OUT OF THIS ?? WOW

What other book might you compare The Enemy of My Enemy to and why?

BRAINRUSH BOOK 1 IS A MUST,

Have you listened to any of R. C. Bray’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

ONLY BRAINRUSH BOOK 1

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

YES, IT WAS HARD TO DO ANYTHING ELSE.

As good as the first novel

Ive come to enjoy R C Bray's reaading ..both the first book in this new ?series?trillogy? Whatever they turn out to be..and the writing is tight, though not all the questions get answered and of course there is. Clifhanger at the end of this book. Also.

Worth the credit, and. for me it's a book I'll listen to again in a year or so before I but book 3.
Please excuse typos..writing reviews on iPhones isn't particularly easy

Be prepared for a 10 hour adrenalin rush!!

Brainrush I was awesome. Brainrush II is "off the graph" - Wish I could have rated this higher than a five in all categories. For those of you old enough to remember the Saturday Morning "Cliffhangers" at the local movie theater: This book has enough cliffhangers in it to fill about 300 movie clips. Our Hero and his entourage find themselves in more impossible events than possible to count. Thank goodness the "rabbit comes out of the hat" just in time. Listened to this book virtually non-stop except for a few hours of sleep. Can't wait for the sequel. This narrator is also terrific. Hard to believe there is just one narrator involved. He is a total genius and I'll be looking for more books narrated by RC Bray. Plot was good. Characters well-defined and plausible. Hope to see many more books of the same genre from this author and narrator!! You definitely will not be disappointed!!

Exhausting

What about R. C. Bray’s performance did you like?

I liked how he did the voice of the bad guy. It had to have hurt, but it sounded really cool and true to the story description.

Any additional comments?

The story was action scene after action scene with our hero barely getting out of each scrape, sometimes pretty miraculously, most of the time just way over the top. It was fun at first, but by the end of the book I just wanted it to be over. I was exhausted from the endless series of narrow escapes and tough guy attitude. In the second novel I was expecting a litte more character depth and development. Instead it seemed to be more of the same as the first novel with few new developments other than lots of action.

Entertaining for the Most Part

This book was about the same as the first one in terms of suspense, interest, action, etc. Not a waste of a credit, but nothing to rave and carry on about either.

I would definitely recommend reading the books in order, though I've either forgotten parts of the first book or they weren't presented, because there are details brought out in this sequel that made me think "wait, where were they in the first book." Unfortunately, some of those details are the kinds that put me off in a book. For example, here's the protagonist with a mother and sister somewhere (again, not much detail) yet the terrorist go after the family of an ancillary character. Picky details but to me it is those details that separate an OK book from a stellar book.

But I digress. This book ends such that yet another sequel is no doubt in the making...but I suppose I'll get that one, too, as they have all been worth the credit so far.
