Tapper

A Novel

De: S.A. Combs

Narrado por: Rand Doerning

Tapper - a projecting empath - is the product of a corrupted government. Nurtured from birth and ruthlessly trained, Tapper learns the art of manipulation and persuasion - becoming an elite operative with a gift of immense power. He’s the government’s prized spy until he does the unthinkable. Horrified by his actions, branded as a monster, he goes into self-exile on Mitta-4 - a colony planet on the fringe of the known universe - to settle down and lose himself in a new life. There, he finds danger comes in many guises.

A dark and deeply moving story filled with amoral behavior and one man’s quest to atone for his darkest impulses.

OK

The story is predictable but it was still an OK read. The narrator is new to me but he did great in narrating the story.

Refreshing story

S. A. Combs writes a good story. It's something different than most of the stories being written. Without giving too much away, I enjoyed how he switches between the past and the present. The story is refreshing because it has a new battle ground for good vs. evil - the mind. I'm hoping this can turn into a series or a least another book. As for the narrator, this is the first book I have listened to by Rand Doerning and I believe he has done an excellent job.

Interesting story and great narration!

I really enjoyed this listen! It was an interesting tale and felt like the pace was great. The chapters alternate between present and flashbacks which reveal more and more information motivating Tapper's present circumstances and decisions. I really enjoyed hearing Tapper's story in this manner and the evolution of his character. I was slightly disappointed with the ending as it felt a bit abrupt. I think there was huge potential to drag things out a bit longer though I can also see how it was the culmination of the story we were told up to that point. It may have felt this way because I was really getting into the story and world at that point and wanted more!

Narration was great for the most part! I think some parts of the narration felt a little inconsistent (maybe a little monotone?) but not enough to distract from the story or to make me dislike the narration. Overall it was great I would have no problem listening to more works narrated by Rand Doerning!

Great sci fi story

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

This was a fun sci fi, spy story. I liked the mix of back story and present story. Really made the main character deep and one you start to care about. I thought this was a well written and engaging story. It is well narrated and worth your time, if you ask me.

A Human Remote Control

I was freely given this title by the author for an unbiased review.

The author did a fine job weaving an intricate tale of how one man could change the world... with his mind.
I found the story a bit difficult to follow but once I understood the author's intent, I was hooked. Good story, good narration and solid ending.
