Deadly Odds

By: Allen Wyler

Narrated by: Chris Sorensen

Best-selling author, Allen Wyler, (Dead End Deal, Deadly Errors, Dead Ringer, Dead Wrong) is back with a new breakout suspense thriller with a techno edge, Deadly Odds.

Twenty-three year old Arnold Gold is a Seattle-based odds-maker and local computer genius. Described as a 'part-time hacker and full-time virgin' by his friends, the awkward young shut-in flies to Vegas to try and get lucky - in more ways than one. But his high stakes activity on the Net inadvertently thrusts him into a vortex of international terrorism.

Dark Net Hacking has resulted in murder, and now it will take every last bit of Arnold's genius intellect and legendary hacking skill to stay one step ahead of the murderous terrorists, the FBI, the local cops and his lawyer. Gold's only chance to save himself is to find the location of a bomb hidden somewhere in Vegas, and somehow prevent the explosion that will turn Sin City into the scene of the deadliest terror attacks since 9/11 Wyler's wild new thriller is as horrifyingly plausible as it is darkly funny and enjoyable.

Deadly Odds is not only a pause-resisting listen, it's a terrific character-driven story about a young man who lives life through a computer and discovers its dark side. Edgy, twitchy and filled with enough tech savvy detail to keep both the techno-thriller and classic suspense fan enthralled, Deadly Odds is a new generation's thrill ride.

fun book

great story and good performance, I like the leading character, and how the book flowed

Great story

The only problem I had was in the narration. There were times when you couldn’t tell if it was the character’s thoughts or if he was speaking out loud because of course you can’t see the quotation marks on Audible

Stupid

Nobody is as stupid and unlucky as our hero. Especially since he’s in the top ten percent of the most intellectual people in the world.

was a good book

story was good, so was the narrator.
I would read it again without a doubt.

Wow, what a story

It was imaginative, with lots of real life situations. I was impressed with the technology parts as it was spot on.

Surprisingly good

I bought it on sale on a whim. I was pleasantly surprised. I'll buy more from this author.

the story was very believable

my dislike was the writer would over analyze at time's instead of just letting the story explain it self

Disappointing

Story idea is a good one, but the dialogue is odd and stilted, and the protagonist is unlikeable and annoying. Narrator reads like he is reading to a bunch of third graders.

Good story but

This book was good. However, narration was painful. Very slow and deliberate. No emotional movement by presenter.

Save me from whiny millennials

This audiobook could have been shortened by half had all the repetitive description and whining been omitted. The story was interesting but the plodding details just caused it to drag.

The narrator did a good job in that he conveyed the whiny, self-absorbed millennial quite well, but the near monotone was aggravating.

I was hoping to find a new series, but this will not be it. I could not take it.
