The Troy Stoker, M.D. Psychiatry Thrillers, Book 1

De: Francis Bandettini, Matt Nilsen

Narrado por: Bob Dunsworth

Psychiatrist Troy Stoker, MD, bursts onto the psychiatry thriller landscape. His high-profile patient, the lieutenant governor-elect's wife, makes a simple mistake that could cost her everything, including her life, and brings her face to face with an American jackal.

In this confrontation with corruption, Ann Higgins stumbles into the underworld life of a high-ranking South Dakota statesman, and she catapults her psychiatrist, Troy Stoker, MD, into the conflict. When her chilling discovery threatens to devastate a politician's secret dominion, Ann ends up dangling from a makeshift noose and fighting for her survival while plunging Dr. Stoker even deeper into the battle of minds, muscles, and new tech.

Dr. Stoker enlists Errol Rivera, a fellow physician and military attaché, to help unravel the mystery and take on the challenges set before them. Together Stoker and Rivera use their brilliant intuition, psychiatric savvy, and military skills to pursue the veiled, corrupt politician and hunt down his criminal pack.

Still, Stoker is unaware that his Cuban-born, patriot friend, Rivera, is much more than a doctor with a hero's past. At his command Rivera unleashes an elite band of warriors who engage their training, guts, technology, and weaponry to confront the corruption.

Hold on and jump into this gritty thrill ride as the new hero, Troy Stoker, MD, emerges in an explosive new political and psychiatry thriller, American Jackal.

Where does American Jackal: A Troy Stoker, M.D. Psychiatry Thriller rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I very much enjoyed it. It is a first book for the authors so all of the repeat words such as majestic, furthermore, moreover, and phrases I will give you a break on. I did enjoy the story, characters, the time spent on the characters to let us learn about who they are, what they are all about, and why it's important to the reader. I look forward to the continued story and improvements in writing.

What did you like best about this story?

There are several storylines that weave together seamlessly. Plus, there are very funny one liners! There are funny parts that really make me laugh. There are white knuckle parts. There are some sickly gruesome parts. And a real b!tch doctor.

Which scene was your favorite?

If I tell you, it might spoil the book. But, it involves very ravenous cyotes (or "Yotes", as SDSU rivals like to call them).

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Hang on, American Jackal is going to blow your mind!

Any additional comments?

The storylines are very addictive. Mr. Bob Dunsworth is the perfect narrator. He takes the words off of the page and really brings them to life. If I could only have one audio book for my entire life, hands down, this is the audio book for me. It keeps me glued and craving more.....can't and don't want to stop listening; just like when I was reading the book. It has everything you could ever want in an excellent book.

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

WHEN TROY STOKER ACTUALLY CRAWLED INTO THE FMRI MACHINE--THAT WAS GUTSY! THE BANTER BUT SECRETIVE NATURE OF THE SOMETIMES FLAMBOYANT (SP?) ERROL RIVERA! THOSE ARE SOME KICK ASS SCENES! THIS BOOK IS A BIT COMPLEX, INTENSE BUT CHARACTERS FLESHED OUT GOOD AND MAY SURPRISE YOU.

What an amazing addition to the genre

I've been a fan of these kind of books most of my life, and I love this entry. It might start a little slow but once you get into the meat of this book it's a page turner. These two authors are amazing and I hope they have a long and prosperous career, there are a few parts I didn't agree with but that seems to happen a lot with this genre. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good book.
