The Protector

De: David Morrell

Narrado por: Stefan Rudnicki

Cavanaugh, a former member of Delta Force who now works as a protector for those rich enough to afford him and his team, is hired by a brilliant scientist named Prescott who needs protection from a powerful drug lord seeking the highly addictive drug he has invented. At least, that is what Cavanaugh is led to believe.

After Cavanaugh trains the scientist in escape and evasion, the unthinkable occurs: Cavanaugh's team is viscously attacked and entirely wiped out, and Prescott seems to be in collusion with the attackers. Now Cavanaugh must fight against his own tactics and anticipate his enemy's every move while suffering the consequences of the real secret Prescott is hiding: a unique weapon that induces fear.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The story unfolds quickly, accelerates to warp speed, and hurtles on to a stunning climax. And amazingly, in the midst of all the mayhem, Morrell draws more than a few complex characters imbued with layered motives and capable of intelligent dialogue. A wonderfully entertaining action adventure." ( Booklist)
"As one would expect from a veteran pro like Morrell, there are plenty of twists, several impressive action set pieces and a narrative that speeds like the souped-up Taurus (combining power and anonymity) that Cavanaugh likes to drive." ( Publishers Weekly)

Degenerated into too much angst

Started out being intelligent, but there was too much angst in the last part. It seems nowadays that all characters have to be tortured souls to instill drama into a story. Thought this was going to be different, and was a great battle of wits until the hormone became the story.

Cool story

Really cool store with some awesome twist and turns. Great character development and well worth the listen!!!

Great book

How wonderful it is to hear a book that is well written and narrated and ideas expressed with Amy vulgar language and the Lords name not taken in vain. I ll definitely choose this author again!

Extremely fast moving with excellent characters

Well written with a beautifully developed storyline. Couldn’t put it down. I highly recommend it

Great story

Fast action. Adrenaline rushing . The story kept me interested throughout the entire adventure. A must read.

Classic Morrell

Great story. Never lost tempo. Narrator was a little wooden; sometimes didn't put the correct emphasis on dialogue.

music

The musical score between parts is lame. Other than that, very good work and great story.

Great story, interesting premise

I enjoyed this book for the story and the character. The narration, however, was painful. Not sure if the accent was supposed to be regional or what but it definitely adversely affected the book for me.

review

great narration. story got on my nerves as there was so much suspense with minimal fighting. I was hoping we could revel in the retaliation and yet, I definitely did not.

Great book that feels real!

This was an amazing book. I am now a fan of David Morrell’s writing. Stefan Rudnicki did a fantastic job narrating! As soon as this audio finished, I searched for more books by David Morrell, that was narrated by Stefan Rudnicki. Awesome truly awesome.
