Reliance

De: Steve Abbott

Narrado por: Eric Bryan Moore

The sins of the father, the sins of the son.

For years Sheriff Tom Gillman always did what the Baron asked of him. The same as his father did before him. Now that he's grown a conscience, he's being run out of town on a rail. His last day on the job, Tom decides to rob the town bank but he's beaten to it by an out of town crew looking to make a fast and easy score.

The robbery goes wrong and becomes a hostage situation. Now, Tom must rescue the hostages and still rob the bank before the Baron's son, the new Sheriff-elect (who will stop at nothing to protect his father's money), takes control and ruins Tom's plans.

Reliance

Great story with bank robbers and action packed, beautifully written.
I must say the ending did take me by surprise, the narrative was excellent by Eric Bryan Moore.

Reliance

When you start this book hold on because your in for a ride! First the narration is spot on and just fantastic. The story is a modern take on a bank robbery with an old western flair, including the small town run by one crooked family. It has lots of sitting on the edge of your seat and plenty of action. Great book!

Reliance gives you that old time feel!

So Reliance isn’t my normal type of books. I am all about thrillers and suspense, psychological twists, and even some romance. Reliance was more like an old time western meets crime/action story. I was a bit surprised with how much I enjoyed it! The action in it made it so you just wanted to keep listening. I loved the humor added in! This is also my first book with the narrator Eric Bryan Moore. Moore’s narration really seemed flawless. He was clear and concise which made it easy for me to listen and follow along. The ending was great and I didn’t see it coming!

A movie in your mind!

Who doesn't like an action packed story with good characters? Steve Abbott has written a contemporary bank robbery story with that old time western feel. Tom Gillman is the outgoing sheriff for Reliance County. He had no idea what his last day of office was going to be like, and sure that he did not anticipate what happened. With a family like the Baron's that runs the county, you know there is going to be conflict, power struggles and a lot of ego. Little did the Baron know that his family and his greed would turn the town upside down. This book is full of interesting characters, from the bank robbers, to the town police force, to the Baron's family, the intrigue of what will happen next and who will get away with the money keeps you listening.

When listening to a crime/thriller book, the narration is key. Eric Bryan Moore brings a grittiness and excitement to keep this book full of suspense. He has a way of reading that engages the characters so you can see the action happening. His expressive narration gives each character a distinct and identifiable voice. Give it a listen and enjoy the show.

I LOVED IT!!!

I loved this bank robbing thriller! This is the first modern day thriller with old time sheriff that I have listened to. I thought the narrator was spot on with all of the various characters and provided them with distinguishable voices. What an original story with great imagery. The premise of the town sheriff planning to rob a bank on his last day in office was brilliant. The narrator created the right amount of suspense, emotion and tension. I loved the characters of Max and Tom the most. Nancy, Reed, and the Baron were also interesting and complex characters, just not necessarily good people. I loved the twists and turns this book had, and thought it was very well written. I requested this review copy audiobook and have voluntarily written this review. I will definitely look for more books by this talented author and narrator.
