Resumen del Editor

When Cash Harris visits his father for the first time after a 15 year estrangement, things don't go anywhere near as planned. By the end of the night, he finds himself embroiled in a plot to destabilise the government, his father has been assassinated, and he discovers a shocking truth that would have fundamentally altered his life 15 years earlier.

However, all of this pales into insignificance when, along with his best friend and ex-fiancee, he fights for his innocence and the chance to save a world they didn't even know needed saving. They uncover the truth that has been alluding mankind from its very inception. Life, the universe - everything... nothing is as it really seems.

I didn't see that coming!!!!

Would you consider the audio edition of The God Complex: A Thriller to be better than the print version?

The audio version of this book is well narrated.

Any additional comments?

I was so glad Audible picked up this author. I hope they will make more of his books available.

Excellent Story, but Rushed Ending

Where does The God Complex: A Thriller rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I would say it is the top third. It had interesting plots and subplots. Everyone has their own agendas, and some will do anything to make them a reality. I liked being able to learn about everyone's point of view and see how everyone's plans and searches brought them together into one conclusive ending. However, the very end seemed a little rushed and not as well thought out as the rest of the book.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I really enjoyed the character of Riggs. We don't learn very much about him, and he is stoically silent the majority of the book. However, he is exceedingly loyal and will ruthlessly defend those he cares about. He is extremely intelligent as well, although we have few opportunities to see that in him.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

There were a couple of moments that moved me, especially considering how tragically the book begins. You learn more throughout the book about just how tragic everything was due to a tiny misunderstanding that affected everybody's lives.

Good sci fi but bad thriller

The overarching alien concept in the story is new and refreshing, and gives a new perspective to most things we assume in life.
But the screenplay is unexciting. The protagonists have it way too easy, are unusually lucky and seem to have supernormal power that borders on a kids fantasy story. A few disappointments thrown in for the lead characters would have made the story a lot more realistic
Narration was top notch. Full marks for that

Worth the Reading!

This book is action packed from the beginning to the end! The end was so surprising that I listened two it three times. Wow it is worth reading over and over again.

Tricky!

Where does The God Complex: A Thriller rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Not in the top 10, but maybe the top 25. A tricky, rather interesting and compelling offering, that has several unanticipated plot twists and turns.

Would you recommend The God Complex: A Thriller to your friends? Why or why not?

Certainly to other audio book fans.

What does Adam Verner bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Definitely one of the better performances of the years. Brought the characters to life, and owned the story

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Not really extreme, but certainly kept my interest, and I did have some chuckles and eyebrow raises.

Any additional comments?

This book definitely sneaks up on the listener, and comes with enough wrinkles and twists to keep the story fresh and engaging. Recommended highly

VERY enjoyable book!

Really enjoyed this book. Plot was filled with unforseen twists and turns. Loved the incorporation of historical landmarks and megalithic sites.
Will check out other books by this author for sure!

Entertaining

A good listenperiod. I enjoyed it good narration good story. I will look at other books that this Author has written

Thought provoking !

The story premise of this book was as intriguing as any I have ever come across. Absolutely brilliant. However, the "twists" and "turns" were far too convenient and it was hard to really make a connection with the "good guys", I was actually hoping they would fail in the end!

The narrative was very good, however Antwon sounded like Mr. Burns from the Simpsons (which was funny) and Kyle sounded like Mrs. Doubtfire (horribly annoying).

Excellent Story!!!!

Loved it until the very end!!!!! The characters in the book were amazing! Author had a very creative plot!!!

On the edge of your seat thriller ....

I have to say, although I thoroughly enjoyed this book, my ABSOLUTE favorite part was the epilogue. I am still smiling... Thanks for an excellent read!
