The Enemy of my Enemy (Brainrush Series Book 2)

By: Richard Bard

Narrated by: R.C. Bray

Audie Award Finalist, Mystery, 2014

Book 1 of the Brainrush series was touted in Tthe Wall Street Journal as the number one Bestselling Action/Adventure in their "Readers Guide to Self-Published Big Sellers" (December 9, 2011). This sequel, The Enemy of my Enemy, was released in early December 2011 to rave reviews. Within a few weeks it became the number one Top-Rated Action/Adventure AND the number two Top-Rated Mystery/Thriller on Amazon.

Former combat pilot Jake Bronson believed the worst was behind him. But when a sophisticated terrorist cell shows up in his hometown, he's drawn into a conflict that threatens the heart and soul of every mother in America. The bonds of love and loyalty are tested as Jake and his friends are swept into a deadly chase that takes them from the beaches of California to the depths of the world's longest underground river, and finally to the remote jungles of the Venezuelan rain forest - where Jake discovers that it will take far more than his enhanced abilities to prevent what is coming.

Fantastic, just gets better

This series is so good, I just love it. It's full of action, twists and excellent writing. I'm anxious to start the next book and see where this goes. If you haven't read or listened to these books yet, you must, go do it now, you will be in for a thrill ride. The amazing narration will keep you entertained for hours.

Enthralling listening experience

We have just finished listening to Brainrush II and can't wait for Brainrush III! Wonderful story lines, characters, beautifully described. Thank you for providing so much entertainment to my husband and I. Love your work.

Very enjoyable

I advise you to get the entire series. You will be up all night. ENJOY!!!

Ok ok

Weak plot... Low quantity on plot high on details of Good guys being chased by bad guys and vice versa again and again.

Adrenaline Candy for my overworked mind

Would you consider the audio edition of The Enemy of My Enemy to be better than the print version?

Who was your favorite character and why?

Which scene was your favorite?

Not sure

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Great action - kept me alert and interested, without getting frustrated: Just like the Farrelly brother's new Three Stooges keep you laughing as gag breaks upon gag, Jake and company's obstacles keeps you jacked on suspense as complication gets piled onto complication. What's great though, is that the complications are resolved and the plot moves forward, so there isn't the sense of stalling out that can frustrate readers when things pile up. As the complications are resolved, we learn more about the characters and the plan and the plot is moved forward.
Very clever solutions to problems. You don't see the same resolution over and over.

Any additional comments?

I'd like to know more about the complexity of the obolisk or inverted pyramid. Not more simple knowledge, but more paradoxes and hints into it's communications and functions. Also, how about some heightened emotions as well as heightened intellect and speed. Heightened empathy, clarified anger, I don't know . . . just a heightening of everything.
Nice writing!

Excellent!

I loved this second book also. A few reviewers commented on the lack of realism, however I feel as a thriller with science fiction tendencies, stepping slightly beyond realism is perfectly acceptable and makes the story jump from my Kindle or Audible and increases my adrenaline! And, no pun intended, but makes the story more realistic!!
I also love the narrator, who paints a picture with his voice that draws me deeper into the story. I wish I could give Richard Bard's books many more stars. I highly recommend this series!

Can't wait to start Brainrush 3

This story kept me enthralled just like the first. Great storyline and action. The best highlight is the narrator...he has been the best of all the books I have listened to over the last year. He drew me in with all of his 'voices' to make my mind picture the characters...amazing.

Jake Bronson’s life is back to normal, until...

Following on from the events in ‘Brainrush’ Jake Bronson’s life is back to normal, until a terrorist tries to get payback for what Jake did at the end of the last book. Aware that all is not ok, Jake and his friends are hunted by an enemy they thought to be dead. This time the evil terrorist has even more sinister plans in store, not only do they want to make Jake pay but they are on American soil and about to release a toxin that will change America forever. When Jake finds out the extent of the plans, he and his gang of misfits make unlikely alliances in order to neutralise the threat….but will they make it on time?

I think I may be slightly in love with Jake Bronson – he is a hero everyone can support, he cares for his friends and family, willing to do whatever it takes to make them safe. Richard Bard is fast becoming one of my favourite authors, he really knows how to weave a fun and action-packed story. He has such a way with words that you cannot help but care for and identify with the characters. Although I’m not too fond with how he ends the books – It makes me crave the next audio book, thankfully I have the next one ready to go.

R.C.Bray is on fine form in this audio book, he has a great ability to grab the listener’s attention and not let go. I’ll be honest, I have done absolutely nothing today but listen to this audio book, that’s over 10 heavenly hours of enjoyment. The production is flawless and the addition of the music at the beginning and end of the audio book adds an air of suspense. If you haven’t yet spent any time with Mr. Bray may I suggest you start, it really is a fun experience. Start with the first book in this series though.
