When Matthew Luedecke leaves his small town for the university, he's hoping for a new start and a more exciting life. He'll get more than he bargained for. Recruited by a shadowy group of Nicaraguan ex-pats, Matt soon discovers how sheltered and blinded most Americans are when it comes to the covert machinations of world powers and the intricacies and danger of international intrigue. From an innocent pool party to a bloody firefight along the Coco River in Nicaragua's dense jungles, Matt is about to find out that an "exciting" may not be all it's cracked up to be.
One Arm of the Octopus is a novelette, originally published in Tales of Tinfoil: Stories of Paranoia and Conspiracy.

“The cephalopod mollusc is one of the most fantastically designed killers in the ocean. We know it at “the octopus.”
“The prey of the octopus usually stumbles into danger completely unaware. That’s because the octopus can make itself look like just about anything in the sea. Coral? Yep. Sand? Yes, that too. The octopus blends in perfectly with its backdrop; even when in plain sight, it disappears. Flexible and dangerous, the octopus is one of the most intelligent creatures in existence, and unless you are hunting on (or watching TV or hanging around at Sea World), you’ve probably never seen one.
“Other than a small hard beak that the octopus uses to break through the hard shells of its prey in order to consume them, the creature has no internal or external skeleton. Think about that. This best, however large it gets, can crawl through any hole that is larger than its tiny beak.
“In addition to its ability to change colors to match its hiding place, it can use its muscles to mimic things like seaweed and rocks.
“It uses tools. Just like a man does.
“When the octopus fees threatened, it ejects a cloud of blackish “ink” that confuses and blinds its enemy while the creature disappears. And get this: if you were to get hold of one arm – and if you could hold it tight – the animal could sever that arm and swim away. You might get part of it, but you probably wouldn’t get the whole thing.
“While all this may seem like science, in your case (and in mine) it is all just opinion and hearsay. Conjecture. For all we know, the octopus made all this up in order to confuse us.”
Not every conspiracy theory is true, or even partially true, but that doesn’t mean you should automatically dismiss either.
In the coils of the octopus!

What did you love best about One Arm of the Octopus?
I was a young mother during this time in history and I remember it. I knew people who were approached by groups like the main character. I also remember that those who spoke out were called loons and laugh at. Then I remember when the info that came out was exactly what those loons said it was and it was not surprising there was many with egg on their faces. This audio book was a great description of what some people really went through and I truly enjoyed listen to it.Which scene was your favorite?
I like it when Matthew back out of the whole thing. It showed real character.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
YES!!!Any additional comments?
I remember that time very well wish history was not repeating itself but I thank the author for writing this story.A Great description of that time!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Definitely. This was a spider web of deceit and a young man who gets caught up in something bigger than life.What did you like best about this story?
I loved how the author showed events that happened a decade prior were the seeds of headlining news later, The characters were individually developed and eventually, their true colors were revealed.Have you listened to any of Chase Bradley’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I haven't listened to Chase Bradley before, but he was the perfect narrator for this book.If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Probably close to my headline for this review - There's a reason why things happen. Look closely.Any additional comments?
I loved this book and look forward to listening to or reading more from this author. I hope he teams up with Chase Bradley if he writes more like this!Everything happens for a reason
