The Watchers

A Victor McCain Thriller, Book 2

De: Tony Acree

Narrado por: Steve Rausch

For bounty hunter Victor McCain, life is complicated. After losing his soul, he agreed to become the new Hand of God, God's bounty hunter on Earth. His job? Track down and kill the worst forms of evil Satan can dish out. But when an ancient threat resurfaces, soon the hunters become the hunted.

In this action-packed sequel to The Hand of God, Victor is closing in on his brother Mikey, who cost him his soul and stole the woman he loves. Soon he discovers his brother's "back up" plan: to unleash beings chained in the darkness from the early days of man in order to bring about the annihilation of the human race. With the help of fellow bounty hunter Winston Reynolds, computer geek Kurt Pervis, and the enigmatic Brother Joshua, Victor is ready to spring his trap and rescue the lovely Samantha when it all goes sideways. Now each member of his team is being targeted for elimination. The only question is, can they stay alive long enough to save the world?

Interesting concept

I don't usually get heavily and obvious religion-themed stories but the sample and the summary of this book intrigued me. I am happy that I received this book as a gift from the narrator in exchange for an unbiased review. It is a great way to discover new authors and narrators and, with this book, I have discovered the talent of Steve Rausch. His performance of the variety of characters and their circumstances is very well done.

This second book can stand alone with its intense story line and characters, though I am curious about the beginning, the back story...I am going to get the first book in this series.

Should have stopped at Book 1 in the series

I listened to the first book in the series The Hand of God and while it wasn't great it wasn't bad. The story line had promise, the characters seemed interesting so I downloaded this book, book 2 in the series as soon as I finished the first. I have found over the years that generally one of two things happen with the second book. The author tightens up the story and details and we see over all improvement, OR the author after having some success with the first book meanders into the second story line and their personal views start to dominate the story telling, and creative or linguistic short comings result in limited or simple descriptions. Unfortunately this book falls into the latter. For example, Mr. Acree's ability or lack their of to use descriptive terms for Samantha other than 'most beautiful'. Or the foray into God and Satan discussion gets a bit preachy. I made it to chapter 20, about 1/2 way through the book before I had had enough. It wasn't that it was awful, but I found I didn't want to listen. I could care less about the characters, the story or what happened. I found myself thinking I need to go find a different book or maybe I could re-listen to something I enjoyed until I have the time to find a new book. Sorry but I do not recommend this book.

Pretty Good

Any additional comments?

This book is better than I expected. I like the mythos. Winston is a trip. I received this audiobook for free Audiobook Boom for unbiased review.

Creepy but Good

Non stop Action and Adventure,, and Creepy to boot.. l like it

“I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

Not a bad sequel!

Some parts fell a little flat, but overall the book held up quite well. Some very fun combat scenes, needed character development, and fast paced, just like everything I've come to expect from Tony Acree.
