“I don’t want anybody bleeding to death, okay?” I said. “I think your problem is education. There’s just no discipline anymore. You have to know there are consequences for bad behavior. Without that, society falls apart.”

Baton Guy croaked, “I can’t breathe.”

“You just can’t go around doing this sort of thing,” I said. “It isn’t right. Now, one of you is bleeding pretty badly and won’t be riding a bike anytime soon. The other one still needs to learn, am I right?”

“Don’t kill us,” Knife Guy said.

Mike Romeo, the former cage fighter living low in L.A., doesn't look for trouble. He doesn't have to. It comes after him. So when he's hired by a California senatorial campaign to do undercover work, Romeo doesn't have any illusions. Especially when his duty takes him to San Francisco.

But as Romeo gets closer to solving the mystery of who is behind the hit job on an honorable man, things heat up in the City by the Bay –– and between Mike and a beautiful political operative. Until a bullet nearly takes him out for good. Now all bets are off. Because if there's one thing Romeo wants, it's justice. And he's going to get it––his way.

Definitely Different

This character was totally unique but exceptionally entertaining. Storyline was also very interesting and I highly recommend this series!!!

interesting story, virtual voice is not there yet

I read the first book and was able to pick up on the nuances intended by Bell. I truly enjoy the references to (for many) the obscure. easy in the reading. in fact I referred the series to a friend who sort of talks like Romeo.

the virtual voice is way better than it used to be. HOWEVER it has a long way yet to go.
there is virtually no vocal inflections making it flat, there is no feel for mood or sarcasm being expressed.

word pacing and pronunciation are cause to pause and go ?huh? i.e PI (private investigator) is pronounced "pie" rather than "pee eye ".

overall this is an ok experience where a voice actor would make this a fantastic audiobook.

I've found my next favorite author

I enjoy the intellect of Romeo. He is two steps ahead of his adversaries and a challenge to his friend Ira.
