Pushing Brilliance

De: Tim Tigner

Narrado por: Dick Hill

HE DIDN'T DO IT.
He really didn't.
But proving it
will be a killer.

Imagine Harrison Ford's The Fugitive meets Tom Clancy's Hunt for Red October.

Framed for murder and on the run, former Olympic biathlete Kyle Achilles is also in the crosshairs of assassins' guns. Why? He has no idea. He's fighting blind against two master strategists and one extraordinary invention - known as Brillyanc.

Achilles' only ally is the other prime suspect, a beautiful Russian mathematician who is either the best or worst person to ever enter his life. Katya was engaged to Achilles' brother - before he died.

Chasing clues while dodging bullets, Achilles and Katya race around the globe, uncovering a conspiracy conceived in Moscow, born in Silicon Valley, and destined to demolish both the White House and the Kremlin. Along the way a lost soul finds purpose, a broken heart confronts forbidden love, and America gains a new hero.

Packed with heart-stopping surprises, paced by razor-sharp plotting, and populated with richly rendered characters, Pushing Brilliance will leave you breathless and longing for more.

Amazon named Tim Tigner an All-Star Author in December 2017 and every month since for being one of the most popular authors in Kindle Unlimited.

Excellent book

This was a great book!!! My wife even enjoyed listening to it on the road. Honestly no complaints. If you like a good beginning to end book with minimal loose strings, this is your book.

Real Thriller

excellent story by an amazing story teller and narrated by one of the top narrators in the business.

Great experience!

Tim is a master at writing. There is a lot of thought to detail along with masterful twisting to to story. I will definitely read more!
The narration is amazing, as if the reader was actually the characters!

get a new narrative device

The story is engaging enough, and the plot moves along relatively smartly, so this book works fine for keeping the mind engaged on long drives, for example, or when trying to fall asleep. But the McGuffin is just silly as all get-out, and increasingly hard to take seriously as the plot drags on . . . and on . . . and on. I seldom look at how much time is left in a book and despair of ever finishing it, bot for this one, I did. And finishing it left no clear memory of having done so, only a lingering sense that I should have better things to do with my time.

The most annoying feature of the book, however, is the narrative device employed on every page of having the allegedly smart woman asking softball questions to enable the super-smart narrator to mansplain pretty obvious things in an endlessly patient way, while the femme tabula raza soaks up the information adoringly.

All the world is a foil for the talented protagonist who at all times has infinite time to elaborate on the obvious to people evidently raised in cardboard boxes, as they seem utterly unfamiliar with the many cliches of the genre which this book explores ad nauseum.

What relives the tension a bit is the author's apparent fondness for Bob Dylan, as many catchy phrases from his music appear here and there, scattered like chocolate chips among the white-flour dough of the rest of the narration . . .

another triumph

absolutely terrific story and performance. strongly recommend you try this one and all of tim tigner's offerings.

Rapp and Reacher in one amazing character!

Really really enjoyed this book. I’m hooked on Kyle Achilles! Well thought out and executed story line.

Exciting book to listen to

The main plot in this book is very suspenseful. i just couldn't wait to find out how it ended & at times i wasn't sure it would. Such intrigue & fresh plot. You go Tim!

Brilliant!

I loved the tension and suspense between the lead characters. I really didn’t expect Achilles to be in jail!

In the manner of Reacher

Love Dick Hill. Story was good, maybe a little wordy but worth the read. Will read the next book

instant Tigner fan

what a fun read, enhanced by the always fine rendition by Dick Hill. I'm an instant Tigner fan, and will read his other books eagerly.
