Billy Summers

De: Stephen King

Narrado por: Paul Sparks

Billy Summers is Stephen King's gripping and compelling novel about a contract killer, an ex-marine, with one last payday to earn before he retires.... Once again, King sets his storytelling talent on a new path with this epic new thriller.

From legendary storyteller and number one best-selling author Stephen King, whose ‘restless imagination is a power that cannot be contained’ (The New York Times Book Review), comes a thrilling new novel about a good guy in a bad job.

Billy Summers is a man in a room with a gun. He’s a killer for hire and the best in the business. But he’ll do the job only if the target is a truly bad guy. And now Billy wants out. But first there is one last hit. Billy is among the best snipers in the world, a decorated Iraq war vet, a Houdini when it comes to vanishing after the job is done. So what could possibly go wrong?

How about everything.

This spectacular can’t-put-it-down novel is part war story, part love letter to small-town America and the people who live there, and it features one of the most compelling and surprising duos in King fiction, who set out to avenge the crimes of an extraordinarily evil man. It’s about love, luck, fate, and a complex hero with one last shot at redemption.

You won’t put this story down, and you won’t forget Billy.

Brilliant

The characters, story and narration were brilliant! Enjoyed it so much. This is a definite movie.

How does he do it !!!!!!

I have never read a Steven king book I didn’t love ,and this is no exception. I just didn’t want it to end. The story grabs you from the start and the narration was superb. I’m afraid Mr king has ruined my reading pleasure of other authors now. Still I am in the enviable position of not having read all his books yet and when I have I’ll start again.

Wow

I loved it, it is a must read of a good man doing bad things to bad people.

Thoroughly enjoyed

Really enjoyed this crime novel by SK. The style and story kept my fractured attention throughout. The atmosphere reminded me somewhat of TV shows like Dexter and Ozark. The narration was excellent and reminded me of the young Clint Eastwood. Rare, absorbing high quality fiction. Many thanks, Mr King.

Great characters

Loved the story between the 2 main characters. Glad it was only a friendship and nothing too sexual.
Different ending to what I thought it would be.
Narrator drove me crazy at times, his voice was strong then went down to inaudible. I mean really low. I’m not sure what he was thinking and hope he listened to himself. I listened in the car so missed a few good words and ends of sentences.
Overall a good listen from one of my fave authors.
