Eleven Numbers

A Short Story

De: Lee Child

Narrado por: James Anderson Foster

An American mathematician’s assignment in Russia spirals into a high-stakes maze of shifting loyalties and intrigue in a propulsive short thriller by #1 New York Times bestselling author Lee Child.

Nathan Tyler is an unassuming professor at a middling American university with a rather obscure specialty in mathematics—in short, a nobody from nowhere. So why is the White House calling? Summoned to Washington, DC, for a top-secret briefing, Nathan discovers that he’s the key to a massive foreign intelligence breakthrough. Reading between the lines of a cryptic series of equations, he could open a door straight into the heart of the Kremlin and change the global balance of power forever. All he has to do is get to a meeting with the renowned Russian mathematician who created it. But when Nathan crashes headlong into a dangerous new game, the odds against him suddenly look a lot steeper.

great!

the story is interesting with surprising twists and it held my interest throughout. I strongly recommend it for a quick listen.

What a Twist

Thoroughly enjoyed this. Lee child is so good at the twist. Always looking for more when the book is done

Twist!

What a wonderful, easy listen. I didn’t want it to end and when it ended, it was a perfect ending.

Just right!

The story was short, but full of intrigue. The twists were perfect. I loved it!

short Interesting and well written story

I most enjoyed was. I didn't have to worry about foul language, so that was wonderful.

Keeps you on your toes

Nice story and wrapped up well! Recommend for a quick book when you need a short one.

Good short story

A fine short story with a satisfying ending. Narration was ok, although the Russian accent was over-broad IMHO.

A really solid short story

Lots of twists and turns and they didn't draw anything out too long period a very good quick story!

Plot

Mildly interesting but not riveting. This is the second Reacher audiobook I’ve listened to. Perhaps as I get more attuned to Lee Child’s style, character development, etc., I will be more enthusiastic. I realize that Child is a highly successful author.

The Codes Known to Few

A well told, fast paced story with excellent narration. If you know the number(s) you may be too valuable. The danger and consequences are real!
