Silent Thunder

By: Iris Johansen, Roy Johansen

Narrated by: Jennifer Van Dyck

Hannah Bryson is a marine architect who's been given a fascinating assignment. A Russian nuclear submarine called The Silent Thunder has been purchased by the United States for exhibition in a museum. Hannah must create a schematic of the sub to check for hazards and design seamless modifications to make it safe for the thousands of expected visitors.

Her brother, Connor, acting as her assistant, knows how much this work means to Hannah. But Connor discovers something on the sub: a mysterious message hidden behind one of the panels. And then, in a brutal assault on the sub, Connor is murdered and the chase is on for Hannah to find her brother's killer.

Soon she discovers that she's being used as bait. And what she doesn't even realize she knows could end her life as well.

AN EXCEPTIONAL BOOK

Have listened to over 250 Audible books & I rate this one as one of the best. I had no problem with the narrator who I thought did a fine job. Listen to this one, I think you will enjoy it.

Magnificent1

I really enjoyed this read. The book was suspensful and exciting. This was my first time listening to this particular narrator and I was really pleased. She did a wonderful job and kept the book alive. I did not want to turn my MP3 player off. Job well done

good but not great

This book definately had some potential. I find the johansen books sometimes have a little bit of the bodice ripper type under tones. They are written by a woman and I suspect for a more female audience. Pretty good suspence and action. As always I DONT CARE about the narraration very much. A good narrator is fine but the bad ones don't get in my way. There was definately some boris and natasha type accents and as usual sometimes they confused between seargent schultz and generic russian. Odd that a woman knows SO much about submarine engineering.

Excellent Listen

Easy to listen to, exciting and interesting plot

Good Listen

I really like the combination of science and mystery. Kept me guessing through the end.
