Publisher's Summary

Who do you trust? Who can you depend on?

James Beltz's modern-day gunslinger, known to the rest of us as DJ Slaughter, returns in this thrilling sequel. Book one left us with a massive cliffhanger. Book two serves to answer all of your burning questions in the very first chapter. However, in a sudden, neck-snapping plot twist, you will only be left with more questions. Nice job, James. Very nice job indeed...

The first book was a break-neck pace of thrilling adventure, reminding this reviewer of the first season of the Fox TV series "24". You know, before it went downhill and got all politically correct. But I digress...this sequel only allows you enough pause to catch your breath and dive deeper into the characters you have come to love. Along with an introduction to a few more you will quickly find yourself attached to. By the time you get to the end, you will feel like you know them all personally.

But prepare yourself. The world is littered with villains. James very effectively reminds us that they can spring out at you from places you least expect. This time, DJ has met his match. And how do you beat someone that is better than you? I guess you'll have to listen to the book to find out....

This author belongs in a category of his own!

This is the second book in the SLAUGHTER series. I found myself looking at the time remaining and wishing it would move at a slower pace. I simply didn't want this book to end.
WHITE OUT picks up exactly where the first book ended, so with a continuous story I would strongly suggest listening to these books in order. The first book also gives you the motive for the second.
Anyway, this book is high octane, action packed and super fast pace. I very rarely compare a new author to well known established authors BUT this author is an exception. He belongs up there with Greaney, Taylor and easily Thor!
This book is full of trigger happy mercenaries, an assassin who feels he's been wronged, a few Russians, the FBI and DJ Slaughter with his girlfriend. And everyone is trying to stay alive.
Shawn Milo does a fantastic job narrating.
This book has my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION.

Over the top, outlandish, hokey, wonderful

I enjoyed this novel!! WHITE OUT is Book 2 in the DJ Slaughter series. I suppose that FBI suspense thriller is the best description of genre of White Out but the genre will likely change to political/espionage thriller with the next novel in the series. Whatever the genre WHITE OUT it is marvelous fun. This novel is better than Origin Story the first novel in the series and Origin Story was terrific. Just get it and listen to it! Narration is outstanding.

Once again Audible listener Shelley's reviews led me to this series. Anyone who likes the general mystery/thriller genre should follow her.

Don’t waste your time

This guy needs a career change because he can’t write. Not worth saying any more than that.

All filler. getting my credit back

the first book was decent, and this one just smacked a brick wall head on. really not enjoying the breaking bad esque 15 minutes earlier narrative. That makes it read like pillow stuffing. The terrible Russian accent narration also doesn't make it better, getting my credit back.

Good #2

The story continues at a higher level of detail & action. It’s a fun ride, though at times drags a bit. I’m not thrilled with this narrator. He doesn’t distinguish characters well, more of a children’s book voice. That doesn’t really work for describing someone dying or a firefight, kinda “whispery”. Not a good fit in my opinion. Overall an improving story line.

We have a New Top Author!!

My new favorite author is James Beltz. My new favorite protagonist is D.J.Slaughter. James has brought new and very welcome creativity to the difficult job of telling exciting and unpredictable action stories that truly are non-stop readers. James Beltz switches the first person narrative around from time to time so you see what is in the minds of the other characters. Very refreshing. Like others said to me: "If you like Lee Child, or L.T. Ryan, you WILL like James Beltz!" I absolutely recommend his books. Enjoy!!

I Tried Again

I gave the story a four because I assumed it was going to be very good. The problem is I cannot stand the whispering narration.

Wasn’t a disappointment

The first book left a cliffhanger that I wanted to follow up. It’s a good story with action that keeps moving.

Wipe Out

Different, using multiple views of the same event, from the good guys and bad guys. Made for some confusion initially, but was really interesting and added some insight. Love Abby. Knew you would kill off mom, but you should have waited. Using Cassie was very effective.

Not Mitch Rapp, but still a great listen

Was so very refreshing to listen to a book, where the author has a good command of the English language that he doesnt need to resort to cursing. A good listen, keep em coming

An Excellent Sequel

I really enjoyed the second installment of this excellent series featuring the awesome DJ Slaughter, I got hooked by book one which was fantastic but I must say that this was even better. If you enjoy an action filled, fast paced plot with loads of surprises then this is for you. I can't wait for book three.
I highly recommend this book.
