The once unthinkable financial Armageddon becomes a potential reality in Chapman’s nonstop thriller. Ably narrated by George Newbern, the audiobook demonstrates the scary reality that results when financial genius Garrett Reilly recognizes that a series of events, including the assassination of the head of the Federal Reserve, could be the beginning of a terrorist attack with the potential to destroy financial markets. Newbern brings Chapman’s plot to life with a steady newscaster-like style that grabs the listener and never lets go. When events heat up, so does the pace of Newbern’s presentation, which takes on a staccato dynamic to capture Reilly’s brilliant insights while mimicking the rhythm of the once omnipresent stock market tickertape. Listeners who enjoy a good thriller will enjoy this audiobook. D.J.S. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine
