Publisher's summary

HE DIDN'T DO IT.
He really didn't.
But proving it
will be a killer.

Imagine Harrison Ford's The Fugitive meets Tom Clancy's Hunt for Red October.

Framed for murder and on the run, former Olympic biathlete Kyle Achilles is also in the crosshairs of assassins' guns. Why? He has no idea. He's fighting blind against two master strategists and one extraordinary invention - known as Brillyanc.

Achilles' only ally is the other prime suspect, a beautiful Russian mathematician who is either the best or worst person to ever enter his life. Katya was engaged to Achilles' brother - before he died.

Chasing clues while dodging bullets, Achilles and Katya race around the globe, uncovering a conspiracy conceived in Moscow, born in Silicon Valley, and destined to demolish both the White House and the Kremlin. Along the way a lost soul finds purpose, a broken heart confronts forbidden love, and America gains a new hero.

Packed with heart-stopping surprises, paced by razor-sharp plotting, and populated with richly rendered characters, Pushing Brilliance will leave you breathless and longing for more.

Amazon named Tim Tigner an All-Star Author in December 2017 and every month since for being one of the most popular authors in Kindle Unlimited.

Excellent book

This was a great book!!! My wife even enjoyed listening to it on the road. Honestly no complaints. If you like a good beginning to end book with minimal loose strings, this is your book.

Tim is a master at writing. There is a lot of thought to detail along with masterful twisting to to story. I will definitely read more!
The narration is amazing, as if the reader was actually the characters!

Rapp and Reacher in one amazing character!

Really really enjoyed this book. I’m hooked on Kyle Achilles! Well thought out and executed story line.

Exciting book to listen to

The main plot in this book is very suspenseful. i just couldn't wait to find out how it ended & at times i wasn't sure it would. Such intrigue & fresh plot. You go Tim!

In the manner of Reacher

Love Dick Hill. Story was good, maybe a little wordy but worth the read. Will read the next book

Good Story, Bad Reader

Would you listen to Pushing Brilliance again? Why?

No

Who was your favorite character and why?

Katya

Would you be willing to try another one of Dick Hill’s performances?

Dick Hill is one of the worst narrators I have listened to in a long while. Overwrought , pauses when he shouldn't and distracts from the story. He cannot change the voices of the characters. I will not buy a book that he narrates. On the plus side, I fall right back to sleep. I have queued up Chapter 18 twelve times.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Who is more Brilliant?
