The Shadow Above the Flames

De: Daniel Swenson

Narrado por: Steve Campbell

Fossil fuels are gone.

Five years ago, hungry for energy and profits, the Union Forest Corporation embarked on an aggressive search for alternative power sources. In their quest they drilled too deeply, releasing a long-forgotten evil that’s been terrorizing the planet. As frightening as the dragon is, the executives at Union Forest are more terrified of losing corporate secrets than losing human lives. Somewhere in that drilling site, there’s a data core that they desperately want back.

After giving years of service to the military, Henry Morgan just wants a normal life. But between nagging feelings from his past and a strained relationship with his brother Rick, “normality” always feels just out of reach. When Henry learns that Rick is among the force of elite commandos sent by Union Forest to battle against the demon at the drilling site, he’s forced back into the roles of soldier and protective older sibling. He’ll do everything he can to save his brother...including risking his own life at the hands of a ruthless corporation.

This is one great book, I am so glad I got it.

This is a book everyone needs to read, could not believe it's his first book.

A different sort of adventure

The plot builds, thickens in its description, then twists to build to a crescendo!

Review Shadow Above the Flames

Daniel Swenson has done a superb job of writing a novel with the right balance of action, suspense, mystery, and intrigue, ( along with a very impressive dragon). He tied together each subplot and brought the book to a satisfying conclusion. Steve Campbell narrated this with great talent. Easy to follow and know which character was speaking. The emotions were palpable. Over all I am very glad to have received a copy for review. I look forward to his next novel.

The Shadow

I enjoyed this one.There was a lot of suspense and action.A well written book.Steve Campbell was a fine narrator.“I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.”

I really wanted to love this, but alas...

Disclaimer:  I received this book for free, and asked to give an honest review. Initially, I felt that the kindest thing I could do would be to not leave a review at all, but that felt like kind of a cheat, so here comes my two cents...

I really wanted to love this story, we have a crack military team and cyber expert facing off against an Apocalypse Dragon... A Dragon!  And, seriously I laughed out loud when this group of grown, Macho-men-soldiers squealed like girls and ran away from Mutant Squirrels... But what this story really needed was an editor who wasn't nodding-off asleep over an empty coffee cup... an editor that would've pointed out that changing POV's is fine as long as that new POV isn't almost word for word, the same as the previous POV...  an editor that would've pointed out that incessant repetition of keywords will drive a reader CrAzY !!! 
A good editor would have dug this gem of a story out of rough matrix, but alas, such was just Not the case!   Sad face...
