Hard Road

A Jon Reznick Thriller, Book 1

De: J. B. Turner

Narrado por: Jeffrey Kafer

Jon Reznick is a “ghost”: a black-ops specialist who takes his orders from shadowy handlers, and his salary from the US government. Still mourning the loss of his beloved wife on 9/11, he’s dispatched to carry out a high-level hit. Reznick knows only that it must look like suicide. It’s textbook.

But the target is not the man Reznick expected. The whole setup is wrong. In an instant the operation is compromised, and Reznick is on the run with the man he was sent to kill. A man wanted by the FBI, and by a mysterious terrorist organization hell-bent on bringing the United States to its knees. FBI Assistant Director Martha Meyerstein is determined to track him down, and to intercept whatever it is Reznick was sent to do.

When Reznick’s young daughter becomes a pawn in the game, he has to use more than his military training to stay one step ahead of those responsible. Meanwhile, he is the only person who knows the true extent of the threat to national security—and has the stealth and determination to stop it.

Revised edition: This edition of Hard Road includes editorial revisions.

Excellent espionage listen with superb narration!

Hard Road is written for the conspiracy, suspense and action junkie with extra credit for its overt US patriotism. Protagonist Jon Reznick is an ex-US special forces operator who is now freelancing. His wife died on 9/11/2001 when their daughter was a baby. Reznick is raising his daughter with the help of his mother-in-law. I'll definitely listen to the other novels in the Jon Reznick series.

Very Surprised!

I’m a die hard James Patterson fan.. took a chance with this book- it was friended to me.. so why Not? Exactly what I want to tell you all- Why Not, there is no reason! I was drawn to Jon Reznick’s character.. just the way I did with Alex Cross in the Cross Series and Michael Bennett. A must for a true lover of detective- suspense type thrillers. Highly recommended!

Flawlessly Done

From plot, to character development to performance, I could not have asked for anything more. This one kept my attention end to end (no easy task) and Turner covered everything required for storyline development/progression without adding any dramatic nonsense. The ending had me prepared to skip the review process so I could quickly start on the next in this series. Worth the credit and the time, without a doubt.

A Great Start

I listened to this book and absolutely enjoyed it! The story was very plausible. The characters believable. The story gripping! This is how Brad Thor used to write. It will keep you wondering from beginning to end. I would recommend this book to anyone.

Great storyline, lots of suspense and action.

The author has written another great novel! lot's of intrigue and suspense! The narration is superb! The narrator brings the characters to life!

Really Good. What's Next?

It was like listening to a movie. Cast paced excitement. Although this was a good stand alone - Will definitely look into the next book in the series.

Dull voice

Probably the worst narrator I've ever listened to. Probably won't listen to any more books in the series if the same narrator is used in them.

Maybe worth a book two listen, but marginal book one . . . . . 😱

First book of the Jon Reznick series and first book I’ve read by this author — so I’ll probably try the next in series — but this one while starting out well became formulaic and predictable and a bit dull . . . . 😱
_______________________________________________________
5 stars is great (I rarely give this rating).
4 stars is good (given only to interesting and well-written books).
3 stars is OK (the usual listen I encounter on Audible).
2 stars is poor (and not worth the credit or the listen).
1 star is awful (and to be diss'ed and shunned and spread as thus through out the Audible Universe)!
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 😱

Heavy on trash language

A lot of unnecessary bad language that did not add to storyline or the plot.

A thrilling book

Wasnt sure I was going to like it but once his shot the man through rhe peephole of the hotel door. I was hooked.
