Wide Awake

Devin Gray, Book 3

By: Steven Konkoly

Narrated by: Seth Podowitz

A conspiracy to incite an American civil war. The desperate chase to stop it is on in a propulsive thriller by Steven Konkoly, Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Deep Sleep.

After taking out a sleeper network, Devin Gray and Marnie Young are picking up the pieces of their disrupted lives. But the gravity of the conspiracy they helped to cripple is sucking them right back into the black hole of violence and subterfuge that nearly consumed them. Another sleeper network is awake.

A progressive congresswoman dies in a car explosion, vaporized by an American kamikaze drone—the beginning of the mayhem to come. What Devin dismantled is being rebuilt. The plan: ignite a civil war in the United States and burn America to the ground.

Seeds of unrest are planted. Threats are escalating. The clock is ticking as Devin, Marnie, and an unconventional team of allies play a cat-and-mouse game across the country to stop a domestic nightmare from coming true.

Critic reviews

“[T]he pacing is brisk and the bloodshed cinematic enough that a first-timer can wolf down this entry without having knowledge of the first two. This sends the series out with a bang.”—Publishers Weekly

Finally! The story concludes!

I really liked Devin Gray and his cohorts, however, the Devin Gray books are not stand-alone novels. Wide Awake concludes the Devin Gray adventure that was started in the first book, Deep Sleep, and continued in the second, Coming Down. The author writes convincing characters, and I especially appreciate that his female characters are strong, capable, smart, and valuable. His story was excellent, but it felt a bit like cheating to spread one story over three separate books.

A great wrap up to another very good series.

Konkoly does it again.

Love the mix of characters from two different book series.

I hope the series is pure fiction.

It was an exciting 3- book ride.

Time for another Ryan Decker book or even Alex Fletcher come back.

Thanks,
Steven

Another well written and acted story ...

... by Steven Konkoly featuring his previously introduced paramilitary outfit/ characters. Overall, very good read.

Lots of Action

I liked the suspense and action
Some of the dialog was too technical
I enjoyed it.

All good.

Fast moving. Good story. Acceptable reading. Occasional victories scattered throughout the story. I liked it.

Wrap up

As already stated this was a great wrap up to the series. I’ll. Probably wait 6-8months and re-read the series with out a break waiting for the next chapter! Very well done!

Hard to say It kept you on your toes waiting for the next page

I liked it The suspense And military tactics The characters Just everything I liked this book

Great continuation to the story!

Well written and kept you listening until the end. The style of writing really allows the reader to picture the events as they happen!

first 2 were much better

dont know what happened with this one, it was a boring story. konkoly writes better than this.

Snoozefest

Ironically Wide Awake kept me snoozing. I fell asleep three times trying to finish this. I don’t think I will finish this and as a person who has both read or listened to more than 700 books and haven’t finish around 10 it says a lot. The narration on this particular story did nothing. It just sounds like white noise and nothing sounded exciting. I don’t know how weapons and bombs can sound boring, but mission accomplished!
