The Program

By: Gregg Hurwitz

Narrated by: Dylan Baker

The series that started it all!

In this powerful follow-up to his action-packed thriller The Kill Clause, Gregg Hurwitz, the new maestro of pulse-pounding suspense, ratchets up the excitement with another sensational page-turner featuring Tim Rackley, a driven lawman motivated by honor, morality, and a deep sense of justice.

Called back into the fold of the U.S. Marshals Service, Tim is tasked with retrieving Leah Henning, the daughter of a powerful Hollywood producer, from a mind-control cult. As Tim wends his way deep undercover into an insidious operation called The Program, he confronts a brand of mind-warping manipulation beyond his worst expectations.

Tim becomes enmeshed with a diverse band of characters—from the charismatic, messianic leader T. D. Betters to a cult reject burnout to the intelligent yet highly vulnerable Leah herself—and finds himself caught in a shadowy landscape of lies, manipulation, and terror. At stake: innocent minds—maybe even his own.

Abridged

The storyline is very good but the abridgment leaves something to be desired. Much is lost in the translation. It was confusing-especially between the last two chapters.

Not the best Gregg Hurwitz

I am a big Gregg Hurwitz fan, but this book was very lame. The story never really developed, it was very superficial, not the usual in the mind of the baddy. I was SO disappointed when Scott Brick was not narrating it, that I didn't enjoy it at all.

nerve-wracking mind control. however it's odd that they could get infiltrated so easily

it was hard to distinguish who was speaking it really needed more tone variety to tell which character was speaking.

Good characters

It stayed Stayed intresting and kept me wondering what the next step was going to be

Awesome story, reader & author!

I loved this book from start to finish!! The reader was simply fantastic!!!! Great!!!
