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.

Entertaining & Clever

I love a short story. This was quick into the point but a clever and interesting storyline

Disappointed

It was not much of a story, more like a blurb or afterthought. Very disappointing, it had so much potential.

Good Short Story

I gave 4 stars because I'm don't usually do short stories and I would have liked more. Tyler is a brilliant mathematician needed to secure a single number from a Russian mathematician. This was well done in just a few pages but it could have been developed into a good full length novel. Lee Child always does a good mystery.

Lee Child is more than Reacher

A thought provoking, challenging short story.
Good purchase at under 2 bucks (hm. It’s saying I have to keep writing to hit the min words . . . )
