The Find

By: Rainer Rey

Narrated by: Dina Pearlman

The nation is safe. Its people are surviving. But at what cost and for how long? Piecing together the remnants of a defunct psychic research program, a brilliant but heinous antiterrorist group searches for unique candidates, employing a government black ops force to hunt and enlist individuals predisposed to psychic abilities.

In pursuit of two very different missing persons, ex-FBI man Kellen Rand and broadcast executive Lorna Novak merge unexpectedly in a race to find answers, revealing difficult truths along the way. As Lorna searches for her abducted 12-year-old niece, Kellen tracks down a missing Indian shaman named January, whose exceptional abilities may be the key to saving millions of lives. Trampling civil rights for the sake of the nation's survival, this "end justifies the means" conspiracy is delicately intertwined with January's fascination with an elusive hidden relic hidden for centuries somewhere in the San Juan Islands - a relic that may have shocking universal significance.

With their paths colliding once more and their lives rapidly transforming, Kellen and Lorna must defeat the veiled yet powerful schemes of this brewing crisis as scientists prey on the minds of the innocent, archeologists rush to unravel an ancient mystery, and the listener, along with the rest of the world, awaits the startling revelations of The Find.

A decent find of The Find

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Not bad...a decent distraction. Was certainly not the best audio book I have experienced recently, but not bad, and the concept was on the unique side.

If you’ve listened to books by Rainer Rey before, how does this one compare?

My first by Rainer. I would try this author again, in the correct circumstance.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Dina Pearlman?

Sure. Dina did a fine job keeping the characters well defined and consistent.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

On demand at home.

Any additional comments?

This is a reasonably good offering, with a somewhat weak conclusion.Nominally recommended.

pretty good story.

This group of characters might make for a good series of books. At least Kellen.

Easter eggs to the original remote viewing program

A lot of hints to the original C.I.A program that spawned remote viewing. project names and even some of the abilities some participants claimed to possess. Who knows what the program is now? All the alphabet agencies claim to have dropped anything that has to do with remote viewing but, for a program that had an 80% accuracy why would they get rid of it? they just outsourced it and called it something brand new.

Cheesy

The writer needs to do more weapons research. You don't cock glocks or rifles.

excellent book because it was unique. recommend to

loved it great listen. will go for more. narrator was perfect. one Teo three four.

Enjoyed

Thoroughly enjoyed this story. I will look for more by this author. Thank you

I have found a new author

Good twists, did not figure the ending out before the end. Unusual . Not Baldachi or Patterson but very good. Excellent narration.

Weak storyline, shallow female characters

The plot bounced between relatively predictable to “What? That doesn’t even make sense.” Couple that with Rey’s weak and shallow depiction of women, I don’t think I’ll be reading any of his other books.

wow, just..... wow.

* Spoilers ahead*
I really hate it when religious nuts write fiction without communicating its true purpose.
Here is the big " climax"....( you've been warned-)
When Jesus died a huge psychic surge hit all" primitive" cultures( the author sites the Native Americans, Africans and Chinese as the primitive cultures) and they were so moved that they all became Christians and constructed crosses. Yup.
So ,apart from being insulting on so many levels, it's just dumb. Wouldn't you think that when the Christians were commiting mass murder in indigenous tribes, something would have clicked?
The author falls into the tired old image of the " magical native people" who have powers. Everyone is healed in the end. Everyone falls in love, lives happily ever after. Including the wife beating husband, who after a single conversation with a pastor, has changed his ways. And the wife takes him back( because God made her strong in her heart). seriously.
I'm not bashing religion, I just didn't sign up for this crap.

Waste of time.

Not a single character was interesting. I didn't like how the story was written. The performance was below par but to be fair the performer didn't have much to work with.
