Off the Grid

A Joe Pickett Novel

By: C. J. Box

Narrated by: David Chandler

New York Times best-selling author C. J. Box returns with a suspenseful new Joe Pickett novel.

Nate Romanowski is off the grid, recuperating from wounds and trying to deal with past crimes, when he is suddenly surrounded by a small team of elite professional special operators. They're not there to threaten him but to make a deal. They need help destroying a domestic terror cell in Wyoming's Red Desert, and in return they'll make Nate's criminal record disappear. But they are not what they seem, as Nate's friend Joe Pickett discovers. They have a much different plan in mind, and it just may be something that takes them all down - including Nate and Joe.

Best in long time

Love that Nate was the main focus still weaving in Joe of course. I can often do with out at lot of Marybeth and was the case in this book. Just hoping the governors promise hold true! Way too long until next one.

Great Story

loved the book and narrator. i have enjoyed all the C J Box books so far.

Redemption

Where does Off the Grid rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Upper mid-list

What did you like best about this story?

The depth of the characters. These are "real people," not actors or cardboard cut-outs.

What does David Chandler bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Pacing. This was a good read, and had I been taking it from a printed book, I'd surely have been racing and would have missed some of the "presence" of the story. Indeed, listening on an iPod--instead of its ancient, books-on-tape mode--makes it impossible to "rewind" just a couple minutes to hear again something that was above-grade, startling or profound. That's the "missed" element of having the book in your lap.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I've never had that luxury of time, but no, I prefer to take even a well-conceived and -written book a little at a time, perhaps even at the pace I imagine it to have been written. The author has gone to a lot of trouble to create a world, and I owe it to him to inhabit that world for awhile and get to know my way around.

Any additional comments?

My disappointment stated elsewhere, in a review of C.J.Box's "Back of Beyond," dissipated quickly when I took a chance on a second from this author, based on reviews. I say "this author" guardedly, because it is, frankly and sincerely, impossible for me to believe both books came from the same pen (however pens may differ, even if held by the same writer). There is no resemblance in concept, style, characterization, execution and polish.

Return to the better Picket books.

I have enjoyed the Pickett series and this one gets back in track, leaving me looking forward to the next.

WHAT A WONDERFUL SERIES!!!

I never get tired of Joe Pickett or hearing David Chandler‘s voice. The characters in this series are wonderful and C.J. Box has a talented way of drawing you into the family. David Chandler is definitely the voice of Joe Pickett and it would not be the same If any other narrator stepped in. To anyone considering this series should start from the beginning to thoroughly enjoy all the characters.

Best Joe and Nate yet

Great characters, affectionate and beautiful descriptions of Wyoming. Glad to here there is better there than I 80
