Publisher's summary

This one.

Nate doesn’t want to listen. He’s between missions and just wants to relax, not to travel hundreds of miles and hunt for the driver of the car that hit someone he doesn’t even know.

But ignoring the call is not an option.

This one.

What Nate had hoped would be a simple mission turns into something much more sinister, when he discovers a wide-reaching evil, festering in a small Northern California town. To confront it, he will need all the skills he’s learned working in the shadow world.

Editorial Review

The standalone all Jonathan Quinn fans needed!

Brett Battles is back with the answer to the question that left all Jonathan Quinn fans reeling: What will happen to Quinn’s partner, Nate? Still coming to terms with his new abilities and restrictions, Nate has gone rogue. Empowered by a newfound sense of justice...and probably just a touch of mental instability, he's on a mission to correct the wrongs of the world that he can. Being in his head is an experience to be remembered—and thanks to a stellar performance by narrator Zach Villa, a happy one. Packed with detailed action and amazing characters to boot (shout out to Jar), Night Man was a quality experience.

Nate's My Hero

This is my first review and of the many, many audio books I have listened to, the first that inspired me to write a review. I really enjoyed Brett Battles series where Nate plays a secondary role. But here he is the main character and I thoroughly enjoyed the listen. I enjoy it when the good guys kick a** and win the day and hopefully come back to do it again. When the nightly news has nothing but bad news, a book like Night Man helps to keep one's spirits up if only for a short time.

EPIC, I say, Epic!

Brett Battles and Zach Villa effortlessly bring this tale to life. First off, ”Night Man” deserves a series all its own! My first audiobook by Battles and certainly not my last. I was hoping that he keeps extraordinary narrator Villa. Why, oh why, did they change narrators in some of his other audiobooks? {{{{{Yawwwwwwwn}}}}} I can’t imagine anyone else but Villa. Battles leads us on a unique and adventurous investigation by Nate, a sexy, enticing, addicting and unusual hero and his remarkable and unforgettable cohorts. Along with a few giggles, this story was intricate and addicting, I couldn’t stop listening. “Night Man” definitely goes to the very top of the list in my vast Audible library. “Night Man Chronicles” is a series and I’m thrilled. So highly recommended with 🍒 🍒 🍒 on top. An awesome thank you to Audible as well.

Good, Fresh Premise

I liked the premise of a guy talking 'orders' from his dead wife to right wrongs. The hero was very likable and believable. I also am a huge fan of vigilante type action stories, and this definitely fit the bill. From the original set up and take down of a robbery group, to the build up from a simple hit and run investigation that morphed into a take down of a drug distribution ring, I was a captive reader. Definitely worth reading - or listening. I will look for more books from Battles in the future.

It Was Okay

I liked the audio. It was the ending that seemed hurried. To be so descriptive then they were arrested. Okay. That's it folks. But it held my attention until the end. And I finished it. Not a repeater though.

not what I expected

I did not like the way the story was written and if I had to read it, I would not have gotten far

The narration was excellent.

Not an overly complicated story, no unexpected twists or turns. The idea that someone who does underground espionage would have such an over developed sense of moral purity seemed a bit hokey.

Narration was excellent.

Refreshing Mystery

So nice to be engaged in the story and not have to listen to the author's political rants. I anxiously await the next book

Not his best.

Narration good but the story just so so.. Maybe my expectations were to high after some other ones by this same author.
