The Vanished

Jonathan Quinn, Book 15

By: Brett Battles

Narrated by: Scott Brick

A missing physicist. Two botched jobs. And a world gone mad.

Will this be Jonathan Quinn’s last job ever?

It’s been nine years since Quinn last worked with Mariko. That fateful job left him with a permanent sense of guilt, and her with a life forever changed. Now, their paths have crossed again. Not in a way Quinn would have hoped for, but at least in one that might allow him to make partial amends.

To accomplish this, he will have to risk his career by ignoring the strict orders he’s been given.

But a cleaner’s got to do what a cleaner’s got to do.

I love these series. he always leaves a teaser but finishes each story. how he writes all these books at such a high volume and quality is beyond me!

brett does not disappoint. it is impossible not to get caught up in the action. be aware that if you are listening to this series at night it is hard to put down. i have stayed up much too late listening. scott bricks narration is also spot on.

Not Sure of the Purpose of the Last Chapter

The last Quinn book was released in December 2020, so I'll have to wait until the next book to see if there was a reason for the last chapter in this book. I thought the last chapter was an odd way to end this book.

There is one main story around Mariko trying to find her sister, Keiko, and a shorter story that is centered around The Office being put on suspension. The shorter story ties to the last chapter of the book but I'm not sure why the shorter story was included. It doesn't really fit with the rest of the book and the only thing it explains is why the Office has been suspended which could have been done with a simple statement.

Overall, I enjoyed the book and look forward to the next book whenever it is published.

Brett Battles Strikes Again

Another great entry in the Jonathan Quinn series! In the last few books of the series, Quinn and his crew have taken on more espionage or intelligence type assignments. The plots are well-written and the pacing is excellent. If you're new to the Quinn series, you owe it to yourself to go back and listen to the entire series.

Plus, since this is an audiobook, I can't forget to mention the best narrator out there for action books, Scott Brick. His style adds so much to the book. He is able to get you to feel what the characters are feeling. He's wonderful at bringing life to the action scenes. And not to mention the various accents and languages an author may include.
