Sam Dryden, retired special forces, lives a quiet life in a small town on the coast of Southern California. While out on a run in the middle of the night, a young girl runs into him on the seaside boardwalk. Barefoot and terrified, she's running from a group of heavily armed men with one clear goalto kill the fleeing child. After Dryden helps her evade her pursuers, he learns that the eleven year old, for as long as she can remember, has been kept in a secret prison by forces within the government. But she doesn't know much beyond her own name, Rachel. She only remembers the past two months of her lifeand that she has a skill that makes her very dangerous to these men and the hidden men in charge. Dryden, who lost his wife and young daughter in an accident five years ago, agrees to help her try to unravel her own past and make sense of it, to protect her from the people who are moving heaven and earth to find them both. Although Dryden is only one man, he's a man with the extraordinary skills and experienceas a Ranger, a Delta, and five years doing off-the-book black ops with an elite team. But, as he slowly begins to discover, the highly trained paramilitary forces on their heels is the only part of the danger they must face. Will Rachel's own unremembered past be the most deadly of them all?

I just googled this again and yes, it‘s a series and I feel a bit sad that my Onleihe doesn‘t have volume 2. If my research is correct volume 3 is about to be published in May 2019.

Much action and full of suspense. I liked that although it requires not to think too much about some things and not to ask questions about for example a background-story.

I was surprised that when I thought it‘s showdown-time there was about an hour to come.

A massive spectacle with a real unexpected twist.

The right book for you if you‘re able to ignore the improbable.

Welcome to my sleepless night.
I hate when worries don‘t let me sleep.

Let‘s hear 👂🏼 how much progress I can make in here.

Military souped-up stuff in team one against military experience in team two. I‘m really into it and can hardly stop listening. 😍 Which is good because the last 3 days at work were so, so hard. (The dawn of a mayor crisis. It bums me out heavily. 😢)

Now, after 3,5 audio-hours something happens that even in this very fictional story feels overtwisted. The more because I know that it‘s impossible. So for now I decide for a late breakfast. 😋

Scheint aber, als hätte ich da mit ein bisschen Pech. Denn das ist wohl der Auftakt einer Reihe.

(Was nur insofern doof ist, als dass ich mit Simon Beckett zum Beispiel auch noch hinterherhinke.)

Aber mal sehen, vielleicht gefällt‘s mehr auch gar nicht. ??‍♀️

Das habe ich mir ursprünglich vorgemerkt, weil ich den Sprecher mag. Aber dann fand ich auch den Inhalt interessant:

„Dem Veteranen Sam Dryden läuft beim Joggen ein Mädchen über den Weg. Rachel ist auf der Flucht. Doch warum jagen bewaffnete Soldaten eine Zwölfjährige? Schnell wird Sam klar: Rachel ist kein normales Kind: Sie kann Gedanken lesen.“

Ab 5.12. kann‘s losgehen.

I enjoy reading thrillers and mysteries while on a plane. A well—paced plot helps to keep me focused. The hero is ex-military with a “particular set of skills.” While on a run, he rescues a young girl being chased by bad guys in the middle of the night. The book takes a bit of a science fiction turn, but is a standard thriller with rather flat characters. It is the first in a series, so perhaps the characters are developed later. Entertaining.

Some of my book series, with the help of WordCloud. Some may be repeated, just ignore them. Looking forward to read more series.
