The Voter File

De: David Pepper

Narrado por: George Newbern, Ron Butler, Erin Spencer

"Pepper comes through again with this clever tale of how cyber sabotage of elections, coupled with highly concentrated ownership of traditional media operations, can undermine American democracy."--President Bill Clinton

A twisty, one-step-ahead-of-the-headlines political thriller featuring a rogue reporter who investigates election meddling of epic proportions written by the ultimate insider.

Investigative reporter Jack Sharpe is down to his last chance. Fired from his high-profile gig with a national news channel, his only lead is a phone full of messages from a grad student named Tori Justice, who swears she's observed an impossible result in a local election. Sharpe is sure she's mistaken...but what if she isn't?

Sharpe learns that the most important tool in any election is the voter file: the database that keeps track of all voters in a district, and shapes a campaign's game plan for victory. If one person were to gain control of an entire party's voter file, they could manipulate the outcome of virtually every election in America. Sharpe discovers this has happened--and that the person behind the hack is determined to turn American politics upside down.

The more he digs, the more Sharpe is forced to question the values--and viability--of the country he loves and a president he admired. And soon it becomes clear that not just his career is in jeopardy...so is his life.

"This is that rare political thriller that takes us inside the actual election workings and that view makes for a superb cautionary tale on what might happen if the proper precautions and security measures aren’t taken. A must read for political junkies and anyone worried about this coming November."--Providence Journal

“[A] highly plausible political thriller....Enjoyable, timely, and realistic.”—Kirkus Reviews

"David Pepper has written one hellishly twisty thriller that is as timely as it is entertaining."--Dayton Daily News

“Pepper has done it again. Read this book before November 2020 and you will understand what could happen to our democracy. Let's hope the fiction in The Voter File doesn't become reality.”—Senator Bill Bradley

“Believable, evocative, and shiver-inducing. As timely as tomorrow’s headline, written by a man who knows exactly what he’s talking about.

A bit long and slow

Not as good as the first two in the series. Two plus hours could have easily been cut off. Similar premise and story line: Russians interfering with U. S. Elections.

Decent story and good performance

This was a good story with some interesting parts but was a bit long and had a few predictable parts. Overall well done.

Great suspense

I live in Ohio and all the exact details are just amazing. The many fine details are delightful.

Hard to follow

I found this book hard to follow. The narration was so slow I had to listen to it at 1.3 times speed. It may have been easier if I had listened to the whole thing in one sitting so I didn’t have to try to keep up with all the characters, but that’s not reality. Moving on to a different author

Details, made it believable!

The journalist won out while maintaining his integrity. I enjoyed the characters’ personalities - all relatable - both the good guys, the bad guys and the ones that were questionable!
