Dead Shift

The Rho Agenda Inception, Book 3

By: Richard Phillips

Narrated by: MacLeod Andrews

With the final chapter of the Rho Agenda Inception, all secrets will be revealed. Who is the alien mind haunting Jack "The Ripper" Gregory? What is the purpose of the immensely powerful Sun Staff? And how will the culmination of these events set the stage for the Rho Agenda?

In this sci-fi adventure, the NSA's most brilliant hacker is abducted and the world stands on the brink of cyberwar. The Ripper and his ghost team commandos are called to action, battling a host of enemies ranging from a genius tech-billionaire and the Chinese government to an emerging superintelligence capable of bringing the world to its knees. With every threat in play, Jack must confront his alien passenger and regain some semblance of self-control. As the origins of the Rho Agenda come to light, Jack struggles to embrace his destiny. But how can even one such as he prevail against an existential threat to humanity?

Thrilling ride but repetitive theme

In each book the general theme is of a great malevolent organization uncovered by the NSA and Jack, Janet and others are tasked with saving not only the US but, ultimately, the world. In each case, they encounter difficulties along the way, frustrated Jack and Janet join into some aggro-sex tension relief session and, in the end, it's Anchanchu-stimulated, masochistically pain-inflicted Jack who successfully defeats the enemy(s) and saves the world.

With all that said, this novel, as were the other two, was highly entertaining. Regrettably, as with book 2, this novel left a few of story arcs nebulous and unfinished.

better than the second book. best of the 3

the best in the series. narration was quite good. character development sufficient especially for jack and Janet. the rest of the characters could use more substance

I'd Give It Six Stars If Possible

This rates as my favorite series so far. Top-rate action, characters and storyline as well as one of the best narrators ever, MacLeod Andrews, who makes even the most obscure techno-speak come alive.

I absolutely loved Jack and Janet. I am hoping, hoping that Richard Phillips continues their adventures. Please!

I did get totally confused about the order of this series. I tried to understand what other reviewers explained about the titles, but I still have little idea about where are the order of Rho Agenda Novel or Rho Agenda Inception or Rho Agenda. They all mix together in my memory except for (Spoiler Alert, I think...) the baby.

So many things to love about this series---loved that the good guys quickly figure out what the bad guys are doing without long, drawn out mistakes. Loved that the author is so proficient with all the military-speak and science-speak and computer-speak and makes it exciting. Love, love MacLeod Andrews' terrific vocal inflections and accents, such as the subtle Asian accent of the bad guy and especially the rich, gravelly voice of Jack Gregory.

So, please, Mr. Phillips...more!

Love it

Oh I love Jack and Janet I just want more she make a series out of this

Awesome

What a great back story to Jack “The Ripper”. The overall series was awesome. The characters were great, and the narrator for the audiobooks did a fantastic job.
