Terminal Rage

By: A. M. Khalifa

Narrated by: Scott Brick

Length: 10 hrs and 39 mins

Publisher's summary

Scott Brick brings to life a heart-stopping, critically acclaimed, and best-selling international thriller.

Even after they retire, crisis negotiators are haunted by the principle rule of dealing with violent terrorists: Just because the hostages have been released, it doesn't mean it's over.

Warning! Highly addictive escapism disguised as fiction. Only commit to this experience if you can tolerate pure adrenaline.

Publishers Weekly review: "The audio production of Khalifa’s twisty thriller begins with a terrorist takeover of a Manhattan skyscraper and features a spirited reading by Brick. Former FBI agent Alex Blackwell is dragged from retirement to handle a hostage situation in a New York City high-rise.

"Seth, the terrorist leader, demands a safe escape and a trade—the kidnapped daughter of an influential senator for the release of two bombers imprisoned in Egypt. Once the deal is struck and completed, Blackwell vows to hunt down Seth, and his quest is interrupted by chapters featuring Sam Morgan, a Southern California software developer who’s lured to a new job in New York City.

"The way the stories connect is clever and shocking. The plot hops around the globe, giving Brick’s international accents a workout. Brick’s clipped, precise performance makes the most of the surprising finale. The result is a totally satisfying audiobook."

Great Book

Fantastic narration. New author to me and Scott Brick is my favorite.
Exceeding story, can’t wait for his next book!

Excellent

The storyline is fascinating and pulled me in instantly. An excellent thriller. Terminal Rage deserves these five stars.

Scott Brick narrates this Pulse Pounding Debut!

Terminal Rage Is an amazing debut novel! Combine this extraordinarily well written book with the stellar narration performed by Scott Brick and this book is sure to be a BESTSELLER!!!!
The book begins with the kidnapping of a senator's daughter. It them moves to a hostage situation in NYC where 25 executives are being held by a man named Seth, from an undetermined middle eastern country. He tells the protagonist Alexander Blackwell (a retired hostage negotiator) that he has four daycare centers wired with explosives. Obviously Seth has an agenda, he wants two terrorists released from an Egyptian prison and is sure Blackwell can get it done. When Blackwell complies with Seth's first demand he tells him where a wired daycare center is. But will give away no more.
The story is told in different timeframes from 2005 until the present. It doesn't get confusing because each time there is a change the author notes year and place.
It's also told from both points of view. And why did Seth specifically ask for Blackwell? Who is Seth?
This book moves along at a globe trotting heart pounding pace. The storytelling is outstanding.
I haven't listened to anything this good in a long time!!
My HIGHEST RECOMMENDATIONS!!

Awesome thriller

This is a well written and exciting thriller which I listened to rather than read. The performance by Scott brick was outstanding. The quality of this work puts to shame some more well-known authors in this genre including Baldacci.

Whirlwind

I absolute loved the twists and turns of this story. My mouth went agape when “Seth” was revealed as Sam. Great story.

great performance!!

I hope the narrator gets a big cut of these sales, I'm sure I'm not the only one who searches audible by his name to find my next purchase!

All around winner!!!!

Writer masterfully handles several storylines. And of course Scott Brick brings all the emotional nuances.

Amazing work.

I’ve listened to many hundreds of books and this fellow is my new favorite author after just one novel. Very well done.

Incredibly and remarkably good!

I loved everything about this book. The story, the characters and Brick's performance. I would recommend this book to any listener or reader no matter the genre you enjoy.

One of the best books I have heard

This book was tremendously innovative. One can not guess the direction the twist and turns. Looking forward to the next book!!!
