Publisher's summary

Sam Dryden lives quietly in a small coastal town in Southern California, buying and fixing up old houses. It's good physical work that he's come to love. But his peaceful life is shattered when he gets a phone call from an old friend in trouble. A phone call that pulls Dryden into the middle of a situation that's as violent as it is baffling.

For FBI agent Marnie Calvert, it all begins at a secluded trailer in the Mojave Desert - the scene of a horrifying crime but also of an impossible and mysterious act of heroism. At least it should have been impossible. Determined to learn the truth, what Calvert discovers leads her to Sam Dryden - an ex-Special Forces operative whose ordinary life has suddenly become anything but.

Through their actions, Dryden and Calvert have unknowingly placed themselves in the crosshairs of a frightening and dangerous enemy, the result of a generations-long conspiracy finally coming to fruition. What these people have is a technology that allows them to affect events before they even happen. How they are planning to use it, however, will result in the death of millions. To defeat them, Dryden will need to do more than think fast - he'll need to think around corners and face down an enemy that can seize on his mistakes before he even makes them.

Following the national best seller Runner, Sam Dryden, Patrick Lee's most indelible creation, returns in one of the most compelling, breathless thrillers yet - -Signal.

Love a good book that makes you think

Definitely need to give Patrick Lee credit for taking a topic that's almost impossible to wrap your head around and make a great story out of it.

Mind Blowing and Thought Provoking!!

This Book is a Sci-Fi fans must, just like the previous four books, I couldn't put it down!!

Sam is at it again!

Another Sam Dryden adventure. If you liked the first one, then this is definitely worth a listen.

Time Travel Detective

Not as good as Runner, but still a good book. Lee keeps your interest by providing well thought out characters and situations. His Sam Dryden character is great. He had the start of a great series with Runner, but the time travel concept while unique in a lot of ways, falls a little flat here. Still, it’s worth your time if you like Patrick Lee.

Another great book by Patrick Lee

Any additional comments?

Patrick Lee is really on a role as some what of a new author. If you have not listen to the Breach series then you really should. I thought this 2nd Sam Dryden book as just as good as the first one. I emailed the author and asked him about the breach series and unfortunately he told me that he would not be writing anymore of those. But the Dryden series is excellent. The thing that I like most about his books is that they start off fast and they never let up…….

Another great story

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book. Unlike some others, I found the ending to be satisfying. I am going to have to go back and listen to the first Sam Dryden book because I'm not sure I got the same impression of him as I did in the first novel. But, it has been a while since I listened to it. But I do know I'll be looking forward to Sam's next adventure - though I hope it won't be such a long wait between books.

Not Quite The Twilight Zone

This book started out and I thought this will be interesting. The concept is interesting, the characters are good, but a little over half way through I felt like the writer got in a hurry to end the book for some reason.
There are so many directions this book could have gone, but in the end I was left with nothing but disappointment

unbelievably great

From the opening paragraph to the last line, fast paced, non stop action thriller.

Ari Fliakos is a great narrator who made the story even more exciting.

Sam Dryden.

Loved the story. Narrator was good and easy to listen to. overall would listen again.

highly unlikely

Although the premise is absurd, it provides a vehicle for some good storytelling that has enough twists and turns to remain interesting for the length of the book.The narrator is good enough, the characters goo and smart enough without being too good or requiring constant props from the narrator. I'll read another.
