The Skies Roared

The Bell Trilogy, Book 2

By: Steve Bradshaw

Narrated by: Stephen H. Marsden

The world-renowned forensic pathologist and serial killer hunter Dr. Elliott Sumner attends a Christmas gala at the mansion of billionaire patriarch Albert Bell. Elliott watches the "Bluff City Butcher" die, moments after learning that they are brothers.

Elliott's worst fears are confirmed when attempts on his life soon reveal that he too was part of an inconceivable genetic experiment, and his termination has been ordered.

From the shadows, in a battle for his survival, Elliott hunts a new kind of serial killer and moves at lightning pace to uncover the clandestine power brokers behind it all.

Will the blood trail from Barcelona through Arequipa and back to Memphis, Tennessee, lead to a new reign of terror? Or will bold deceptions and chilling twists be more than any one man can handle? Will Elliott find a way to secure the greatest evolutionary leap for mankind?

The plot thickens....

There's a famous quite by George Orwell that says: "Power corrupts, but absolute power corrupts absolutely!"

This second book definitely embodies that quote.

I am definitely becoming a fan of this author's work. I also like the fact that he doesn't end his books on major cliffhanges. This gives the reader/listener time to get over a book hangover before diving into the next book.

Again, like the first book, I had to adjust the speed of the narrator. I'm sure that finding the correct pace is always a challenge for narrators and I appreciate their time and effort they put into creating the worlds we listeners get to visit.

Thank you to both author and narrator.

Perfect binge read

Fabulous follow up to the Bluff City Butcher. This book is simply packed with action! Perfect for a long rainy day on the sofa!
The narration is consistent easy to follow.
