À propos de cet audio
A friendly fire incident in Afghanistan takes a serious toll. A drone, out of control, brings death and wreaks havoc on a Florida highway. An apparently successful corporation comes under scrutiny.
A memorable incursion behind corporate closed doors, led by an up-and-coming private investigator, a modern detective on a mission to find the truth about the lives lost to the very technology that was mandated to protect them.
Our skies aren't safe anymore.
A thought-provoking page turner, Executive sizzles with plausible scenarios, conveyed in technical and business terminology at an unrelenting pace.
Exploring the controversial territory of toxic leadership and its long term consequences, Executive delivers an insightful analysis spiced with cutting-edge technology and science, in an exciting, suspenseful, masterful technothriller.
Fans of Jack Ryan, Jason Bourne, James Bond, and Jack Reacher will love Alex Hoffmann.

What Readers Say About Alex Hoffman Series Book One, Executive -- "Verdict: A phenomenal novel that will keep you on the edge of your seat." -- "What an amazing book!" -- "Two thumbs way, WAY up." -- "Better than Clancy and Baldacci!" -- "Executive reads like a movie--like one of those sleek Ridley Scott films that run at train-wreck speed." -- "Leslie Wolfe has made the list - in fact, she has topped the list!" -- "Executive was an intelligent, witty, thought-provoking and fast-paced novel that kept me on the edge of my seat." -- "What a treat! Fascinating peek into the world of drones and their lethal capabilities. A tour de force into brilliant research, with a dash of human frailties."

The narrative feels so plausible that readers can immerse themselves in a striking miasma of authenticity, but who honestly cares how potential terrorism affects some fictional company's bottom line or the CEO's retirement plans. The book lost my attention far too frequently. I kept waiting for something gripping to happen.. but it never did (there's actually a nonsensical rape scene).
As to presentation: Todd Waites is a capable professional reader - exhibiting creditable diction/timbre/cadence and effective - if unspectacular - voice-acting. His tone, however, is disinterested. I can't really blame him given the text, but Italics Publishing Inc. could have cast this project better.
Altogether, 'Executive: A Thriller' really isn't much of a thriller. I rate the audiobook version 4/10-stars (actually doubtless an improvement over the text iteration). Even as a free 'Plus' catalog offering, you should pass.
[Note: many of the chapters in this book are jarringly short (i.e. a few words long). The pacing is consequently unnecessarily awkward. It's notable that Stephen King tried the technique with 'Running Man' in an attempt to drive pace and abandoned it thereafter. The book is an odd read]
Ultrarealistic.. but Uncaptivating
