Flood Rising

A Jenna Flood Thriller

By: Jeremy Robinson, Sean Ellis

Narrated by: Xe Sands

In a minute everything changes. Fifteen-year-old Jenna Flood's discovery of a bomb ticking down from sixty seconds is the first in a series of explosive revelations that destroy her understanding of the world and her place in it. Jenna believes she is an ordinary teenager, busy with schoolwork and helping her father run a Key West charter boat. But when a team of killers shows up, intent on erasing her from existence, she learns the unbelievable truth: she is not who she thinks she is. Alone and on the run, betrayed at every turn, Jenna's path takes her from sun-drenched Key West to the alligator-infested Everglades, the streets of Miami, and the Caribbean islands. Along the way brutal criminals, deadly assassins, and the forces of nature conspire to end her life unless she can rise to embrace an impossible destiny and unleash her own lethal potential. Everything Jenna has been told about herself is a lie, and the truth is a secret that may destroy the world--or save it.

Jeremy Robinson and Sean Ellis, the best-selling team behind The Brainstorm Trilogy, Prime, and Savage, have thrilled audiences with stories of science gone wrong and monsters on the rampage. Now they break new ground with a taut suspense thriller sure to appeal to fans of 24 and The Bourne Identity, with all the pulse-pounding, gut-wrenching action you've come to expect.

Flood is bloody brilliant!

Non stop action, and twists and turns that are unexpected. Kept me on the edge of my seat! Can't wait for continuation of series.

Scott Brick is a great narrator!

Struggled to get into the book. Did not care for it the alien and other quasi sci Fi brought in. Started wee and went south.

Addictive story

The action hooks you and the end has you wanting more. Good technical descriptions of techniques and technologies. Some plot twists that are unexpected.

Tons of action, little character development

Yes, it reads like an episode from 24. It’s engaging for 3/4 of the book. The last quarter just isn’t as interesting. Good action, but really lacks any character development. Good effort.

Brilliant and original premise.

I thought the premise and the incorporation of the "Wow" signal was amazingly original. Yes, it is like a season of 24 in book form but it did get a little weird toward the end as the story morphed into a season of Heroes. Maybe I missed the foreshadowing, but I didn't see that coming. I also found it unbelievable that the federal agents pursuing Jenna would shoot police officers and civilians that simply got in their way.

I liked how the environment in which Jenna grew up played a major role in who she was despite her DNA. I also thought the narration was excellent.

I'll probably wait to see what the reviews of the next book in the series show before I buy it. I liked the book and don't regret buying it but I'm not sure the series is what I was expecting.
