If you love Jack Reacher...it's time you met The Preacher, the one-eyed ex-priest and Vietnam vet turned professional gambler who wanders the country seeking redemption.

The Preacher is playing the highest stakes poker game ever dealt. His opponents are mobsters, arms dealers, and terrorists. The jackpot is an atomic bomb. And if he loses, the entire city of Las Vegas will be dealt the Dead Man’s Hand. It's non-stop action and suspense featuring the most original hero in crime fiction.

The nuclear noir sequel to the sensational novel, The Preacher, a finalist for the Edgar Award from the Mystery Writers of America.

Fast-paced, interesting, and exciting! I really enjoyed this thriller! Perfect narration!

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. The fact that I was gifted this book had no influence over my opinion of it.

Good!

I listened to the first book in this series and was excited to have a chance to listen to this one. The Preacher is such a great character and so fascinating to listen to. His intelligence keeps me glued to the book because I absolutely love the way he reads everyone. I could only hope to someday have the patience he has learned to achieve. Shawn Compton performs perfectly. I could not imagine anyone else narrating these books. Book 2 was far more complex than the first one, but that didn't take anything away from it because I love twists, turns and mystery. You have to pay attention while reading or listening to this one. Trying to figure out the characters and listening to the thoughts of The Preacher as he was doing the same makes for a really good listen. I thoroughly enjoyed this well written book! I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

I love these books and this character!

After listening and enjoying the first book in this series, I couldn't wait to get my ears around book two. It did not disappoint.

The poker playing preacher is still wearing black and taking names, this time in Las Vegas. There are no shortage of bad guys doing bad things and pinpointing who did what was multi-layered, multi-faceted, and multi-genius.

The narrator was excellent. Preacher is a bit of an unflappable character and Compton portrays him to the hilt!

This book had a satisfactory ending, with most loose ties put in their proper places. There was one dangling loose tie though, and I can't wait to see how it unravels in book three.

Can't get enough of this character!

The Preacher, a former Episcopal priest and soldier and now a poker player continues his adventures. In this stellar second installment he is pulled into investigating what happened when a private poker game he is in is attacked. When the victim is holding the “dead man’s hand in playing cards (the Aces and Eights in the title) and those same pasteboards appear at other crime scenes, The Preacher is pulled into action.
Frankly, the story and plot are enough, but I so love the author’s writing. Hearing it read by the capable narrator makes me wish that both this book was longer as well as the only three volume series.
One could pick up this second entry, not having read the first and be in sync with the story, however the first book is worth the read as well.

Great Series, Entry and Author

The Preacher is back. And in Aces & Eights the stakes truly get raised! (sorry couldn't resist) Bad pun aside, I'm being quite serious. Murder, mayhem, and even an atom bomb. As always, I'm going to avoid spoilers, but I will say the story is quite complex, so you'll definitely need to pay attention. While I enjoyed the book quite a bit, I must admit I enjoyed the first Preacher book more. Mr.Thackrey gets a bit wordy at times and there are a few chapters that feel more like info dumps than anything, which just seem to slow down the flow of the story. That being said, I'm still looking forward to the Preacher's next adventure.

As with the previous Preacher novel, Shawn Compton is back and he once again does a great job bringing the story and characters to life.

I received a copy of this audio title for free in exchange for an unbiased review.

Our favorite one-eyed poker playing vet is back.
