A Dick Thornby Thriller, Book 2

De: Donald J. Bingle

Narrado por: Bruce Pilkenton

Dick Thornby is not Hollywood's idea of a spy.

He's not a supercool guy in a tuxedo or a crazed loner who does nothing but kill and drive fast. He's just a regular guy with some skills for a job that needs doing. He also has a wife, a teenaged kid, a mortgage, and all the mundane problems associated with life. His friends from the New Jersey subdivision where he lives all think he is a wastewater treatment consultant. But instead of dealing with the dirty job of processing sewage in third world countries, he is really on missions, some mundane and dirty, others of vital importance and even dirtier.

He's a new kind of spy for a new kind of world.

After taking personal revenge on the criminal behind both his son’s injuries and the continued disintegration of his marriage, Dick Thornby is teamed with Acacia (“Ace”) Zyreb, a young female agent from the East European office of the Subsidiary, to deal with the mystery behind coordinated hacking of the braking systems of several car models.

Doing his best to maintain his vows to his wife, Dick struggles to deal with the inexperience and provocative attitude of Ace on her first non-European mission. Their somewhat combative investigation takes a left turn by uncovering a much more sinister threat to the world and to Dick's family. He's willing to risk his job, his partner, and his life to eliminate the threat, but the clock is ticking.

Great Listen

I was given this book for free.

This is a great listen, a great second book in the series and the narration was fine as well.

Saving the world from exotic locations

Received an audio copy from the author narrated by Bruce Pilkenton, delivering a witty and humorous performance of this fast paced adventure thrill ride.


Received as a review copy from Story Origin, this is an honest review. With is injured son Seth on the mend from his injuries, Dick Thornby seeks out how to get back at the guy whom nearly had his son son murdered. Saving the world for a second time this round has Dick partnered with Ace- a no nonsense woman constantly frustrated by his crazy antics. Dick is a very unconventional spy, but his tricks may just keep themselves alive as they go against criminals taking control of vehicles and causing panic to preventing a dangerous, cataclysmic event earthquake and Tsunami and the countless deaths along with it. A brilliant on the edge of your sequel and thrill ride. Highly recommended.
