The Moonpool

Cam Richter, Book 3

De: P. T. Deutermann

Narrado por: Mel Foster

"I remembered it from high-school chemistry, one of those experiments where we made hydrogen. It was more of an acidic sensation on the palate than a real smell, but I recognized it. The pile of spent fuel at the bottom was beginning to outgas. Next would come the fire to end all fires...."

A private detective working in Wilmington, North Carolina, is found dead in a gas-station restroom, apparently poisoned. But when her body sets off radiation alarms in the pathologist's office, suspicion falls on the nearby Helios nuclear power plant, a heavily guarded facility with supposedly fail-safe procedures.

As the FBI, local police, and the power plant's own security team investigate, ex-cop Cam Richter, head of the agency that employed the dead woman, begins his own inquiries. What was his detective investigating? And how could one person be poisoned by radiation without others being exposed?

Cam soon finds himself up against powerful forces that will stop at nothing to keep the plant's problems secret. The most vulnerable part of Helios is its "moonpool" - the radioactive storage pond that cools spent but volatile reactor fuel and must be kept completely full. Racing against time, Cam discovers an inside threat, a plan to use the plant's own systems to begin an unstoppable, disastrous sequence of events.

Outstanding

If you like Lee Child’s Jack Reacher you will enjoy Cam Richter. Can’t wait to start the next in the series.

These need to be made into a movie? Tom Cruise? You reading this?

Another Winner

P T Deutermann has quickly become one of my favorite authors, with plots set in unusual places and flawed but well developed and likeable characters. This one is no exception.

disappointing

I LOVE P.T. Deutermann, I have listened to most of his books in audio format. Perhaps because I have listened to so many, this one fell a bit short. I had to force myself to finish listening, since it seemed to drag on and on and on.

Perhaps his formula has become too predictable for me, it is too bad, I Loved the cat dancer series and Hunting season (my Favorite).

For the record, I will continue to listen to anything he publishes, but will stick to the books narrated by Dick Hill.

Killer book

As always another great piece of work by a brilliant person who can do a great one every time!!!!!

Not the best if PT Deutetman

Not his best but it did keep me intrtested. To much detail in thinks that just slowes the story down. But it is a fair listen non the less
