The Ty Stone Box Set 1, Books 1-3

De: Franklin Horton

Narrado por: Chris Abell, Charles Bice, Kyle Tait

The first ever box set of the action-packed Ty Stone Series, containing books 1-3.

A hero in the tradition of Jack Reacher, the Gray Man, and Mitch Rapp, Ty Stone isn't afraid to cross the line when the stakes are high enough and they're never higher than when a child is in danger.

When a child goes missing from a busy interstate gas station, all leads point in the wrong direction. Ty Stone is afraid he's too damaged to help but his gut--and his conscience--won't let him sit this one out.

Even as he's searching for the missing child, law enforcement is searching for him. Ty's anger and bad decisions are catching up with him. But sometimes a broken hero is what the world needs. A man with no rules of engagement. A man who understands that real justice doesn't always come from the courts.

Great Story

The story line and character development was great making it hard to stop listening, but the changing of the narrator, created a pause to the flow of the flow of the character, you needed to familiarize yourself with him over again

Great plot!

Author does amazing plot development over the series. Characters are crafted and intertwined to keep you wanting to see what's next!

!!TAKE THEM DOWN!! DON'T HOLD BACK!!

Book one will take you on a non-stop action packed adventure that keeps you hooked. The author gives a peek into how some military deal with PDST when coming home. Beware, there are dark thoughts that Ty Stone tackles with when he has down time.

The three book series deals with human trafficking. My heart breaks that this is real and so many children and women suffer at the hand of evil.

The first two books our hero delivers and rescues. The third book feel short for me because my expectations were not met. He finally was given a job that met his character and abilities. I was wanting him to kick butt and take down the top guys and the cartel and keep going while taking down those criminals that run the human trafficking circles. That did not happen.
At the very least give it to us in a book. Let the hero let lose and take as many of those "feel in the blank with your colorful words" down.

The narrator for the first two books were good, but the narrator for the third book was hard to listen to. With all that I did complete the listen for all three books.

story line

great listen. can't wait for more books. Franklin Horton always produces great stories. must listen

Horton

Loved Jim Powell and the Mad Mick, but Ty Stone is now my favorite.

loved it

these books were written well. stories kept my interest the whole time can't wait for thr next one

Exciting new characters

This was so exciting I listened to the entire box set, only stopping to sleep! Can’t wait to continue Ty’s adventures!!

Action with humanity

Great but disturbing subject matter. Couldn't put it down. Need the next book(s).
Not apocalyptic, but scary just the same.

Another AI reading for book 3

Robots can’t replace voice actors!!!


Shame on Amazon for passing this off as an actor’s reading.

Pretty sure I wasted a credit on this

Even with a boxed set I don't think I got my credit's worth out of this. Kept waiting for the story and the MC to improve but it never happened. The MC (Ty Stone) is exhausting to deal with. The entire series is just repetitions of the guy making stupid decisions, rambling on with self-blame, contemplating killing himself, and then doing it all over again. Seemed to be big holes in the plots, e.g. clinics buying kids without even doing background checks on the mothers to make sure it wasn't a sting and as if law enforcement wouldn't find out. It didn't help that each book had a different narrator so there's no continuity and none of them stood out with their performances but the 3rd was the worst by far, sounded like a bad AI/automated voice half the time. In 25 hours of listening there's not a lot action or suspense that takes place and without mentioning spoilers the MC doesn't do much except screw things up. All in all these aren't well-written stories and I tend to keep the bar low for enjoying what I listen to.
