About this listen

Linus Owen is a young professor of conspiracy theory at a small college just outside San Francisco. His marriage is foundering and his wife, Claudia, has gone to Chicago to visit her mother. But if Claudia is in Chicago, how is it that two FBI agents show up at Linus' office and inform him that Claudia has been killed in a plane crash on her way from New York to Brazil? And why did a man named Jeffrey Holden, the vice president of a major pharmaceutical company, buy her ticket and die beside her?

Enlisting the aid of two fellow conspiracy theorists, Linus heads across the country in search of answers. But as their journey progresses, it becomes frighteningly clear they've left the realm of the academic and are tangled up in a dangerous, multi-layered cover-up. Finally, deep in the heart of the American desert, stunned by an ominous revelation, Linus sees he has a new mission: to try to stay alive.

Part Don DeLillo, part Kurt Vonnegut, with writing that is electric, whip-smart and suspenseful at each turn, Noah Hawley draws us into a deliciously labyrinthine world of paranoia and plots.

Critic reviews

"Noah Hawley's writing is vivid and muscular. He speeds it up and slows it down in just the right places, and the portrait he paints of Linus is memorable. [He has a] true gift for characters." (San Francisco Chronicle)

"Energetic and funny...an engrossing debut." (The New York Times)

"Orwellian echoes haunt this provocative, tongue-in-cheek debut chiller... A suspenseful, cerebral satire..." (Publishers Weekly)

No ‘Christianity Bashing’ going on here. It’s just a bad book.

Another reviewer mentions ‘Christianity Bashing’... which had me confused. I think they must be referring to another book or didn’t actually read or listen to this one. This has absolutely nothing about that going on here. This is about conspiracies. This starts out well, starts to fall apart,
