The Road to Omaha

A Novel

De: Robert Ludlum

Narrado por: Scott Brick

Robert Ludlum’s wayward hero, the outrageous General MacKenzie Hawkins, returns with a diabolical scheme to right a very old wrong—and wreak vengeance on the [redacted] who drummed him out of the military.

Discovering a long-buried 1878 treaty with an obscure Indian tribe, the Hawk, a.k.a. Chief Thunder Head, hatches a brilliant plot that will ultimately bring him and his reluctant legal eagle, Sam Devereaux, before the Supreme Court.

Their goal is to reclaim a choice piece of American real estate: the state of Nebraska, which just so happens to be the headquarters of the U.S. Strategic Air Command. Their outraged opposition will be no less than the CIA, the Pentagon, and the White House.

And only one thing is certain: Ludlum will keep us in nonstop suspense—and side-splitting laughter—through the very last minute.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“A very funny book . . . No character is minor: They’re all hilarious.”—Houston Chronicle

“Don’t ever begin a Ludlum novel if you have to go to work the next day.”—Chicago Sun-Times

Laugh until you drop!

Hilarious never ends. If I wasn't just smiling I was laughing through the entire book. More please!

Perfect mania

Any additional comments?

Scott Brick knocks it out of the park with the best voices and some of the most memorable characters I have ever heard. If you read The Road to Gandolofo then you know what a merchant of chaos General Macenzie Hawkins is but this book takes him to a another level. With the help of multiple lunatics, he drags Sam Devereux kicking and screaming into a huge conspiracy that may be bigger than collecting certain "religious artifacts". This may be one of the best credit investments ever for me.

terrific!

kept me intrigued and laughing throughout . Enjoyed it better tan when i read it.

Funny

Funny

I wish he wrote more of these Road to ... novels!! laugh out loud funny.

Way too long

This story went on way to long same thing over and over. Should have been 6 hours

Don’t waste your time

I started this book twice hoping that something would be different. I hate the narrator’s “John Wayne pilgrim” drawl, and then the story moved to possible aliens, and I had to opt out! My husband was also listening as we were on a long drive. He kept asking why we were listening to something so incredibly uninteresting. I had to return this title without finishing.

Ugh

Don’t waste your credit or your time. I was hoodwinked by the good reviews. It’s just awful and ridiculous.
