About this listen
At the crossroads of high finance and international terrorism, a New York hedge-fund manager searches for the truth behind his father's murder.
The master of the financial thriller returns.
Bobby Astor is a fearless New York hedge-fund gunslinger on the verge of making his biggest killing ever. But everything changes when his father, the venerable chief executive of the New York Stock Exchange, is murdered along with the head of the Federal Reserve in a brazen, inexplicable attack on the South Lawn of the White House. In the moments before his death, Astor's father sends Bobby a mystifying text message…a single word that Bobby soon realizes offers the only clue to the identity of his father's killer and the terrifying motivation behind the attack.
As Bobby unravels the mystery behind his father's death, he crosses paths with his ex-wife, no-nonsense Special Agent Alex Forza of the FBI, who is hot on the trail of a band of elite international terrorists intent on infiltrating New York City. All the while, Bobby must fight to hold together his increasingly risky business deal. At stake is not only the survival of his company and a colossal fortune…but also a sophisticated foreign conspiracy that threatens the entire financial system of the United States.
The Prince of Risk is Christopher Reich's most prescient, suspenseful, and entertaining thriller, a novel that anticipates the headlines of the near future and shows, once again, why The New York Times calls Reich "the John Grisham of Wall Street."

Sometimes a man can be redeemed. But not in the way he expects. Jason Stafford is a former Wall Street hotshot who made some bad moves, paid the price with two years in prison, and is now trying to put his life back together. He’s unemployable, until an investment firm asks him to look into possible problems left by a junior trader who died recently in an accident. What he discovers is big - there are problems, all right, the kind that get you killed. But it’s not his only concern. Stafford has another quest as well: to reclaim his five-year-old son, "the Kid", from his unstable ex-wife, and then learn just what it means to make a life with him.

It introduces a colorful new hero for our time - and a dazzling heroine every bit his equal. A spy mystery...a crime thriller...a passionate romance: Hunter is a genre-bending novel unlike any you've read. Deviously plotted, filled with vivid characters, and propelled at a breakneck pace.

Sometimes a man can be redeemed. But not in the way he expects. Jason Stafford is a former Wall Street hotshot who made some bad moves, paid the price with two years in prison, and is now trying to put his life back together. He’s unemployable, until an investment firm asks him to look into possible problems left by a junior trader who died recently in an accident. What he discovers is big - there are problems, all right, the kind that get you killed. But it’s not his only concern. Stafford has another quest as well: to reclaim his five-year-old son, "the Kid", from his unstable ex-wife, and then learn just what it means to make a life with him.

Hailed as the finest combat aviation novel to emerge from the Vietnam War, Flight of the Intruder spent 28 weeks on the New York Times hardcover best-seller list and became one of the top-20 best-selling first novels of all time. An instant classic, the book was translated into more than 20 languages and made into a major motion picture. Its hero, Jake Grafton, became a household name and the star of many more Coonts’ best-sellers. Without question, the strength of the book lies in its flying scenes when Jake Grafton straps himself into the cockpit of his A-6 Intruder.

A murderer is on the loose on the streets of New York City: nicknamed the Doomsday Killer, he's claimed six victims in just two weeks, and the city is terrified. Even worse, the police are mystified: the victims have nothing in common, defying all profiling, and all that connects them is that each received a sick postcard in the mail before they died - a postcard that announced their date of death. In desperation, the FBI assigns the case to maverick agent Will Piper, once the most accomplished serial-killing expert in the bureau's history, now on a dissolute spiral to retirement.

Days before the July Fourth holiday and the dedication of One World Trade Center at Ground Zero, an incident aboard a commercial jet flying over the Atlantic Ocean reminds everyone that vigilance is not a task to be taken lightly. But for iconoclastic NYPD detective Jeremy Fisk, it may also be a signal that there is much more to this case than the easy answer of this being just the work of another lone terrorist. Fisk suspects that the event might also be a warning sign that another scheme has been set in motion.

I now have synesthesia, a neurological condition where your senses get mixed up. Sometimes when people talk to me, I see their voices as colored shapes provoked by the emotions of the speakers, not by the words themselves. I have what amounts to a primitive lie detector.

Fun Thriller but Characters a Bit Wooden
Fun thriller with some hedge fund action thrown in. Kept me glued to my headphones. However the Characters were a bit wooden. Hedge fund manager way too nice and straight lace for a trader. His ex FBI agent to dedicated, not jaded at all working in law enforcement, and actually prays to J. Edgar... come on. Great reader.

Only have a problem with the reader not the story
What did you love best about The Prince of Risk?
I liked having at least 4 threads running at once. The writing was good and kept me interested.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
I thoroughly enjoyed the plot. With multiple threads running the author keeps you engaged because you do not know what happens next but you care.
Which scene was your favorite?
I enjoyed the scene where the FBI raid does not go as planned.
Any additional comments?
The readers pace is painfully slow in the first few chapters. I almost quit the book for this reason

Another great story!
As always the combination of Christopher Reich's story telling and Paul Michael's voice made this novel hard to put down.

Faux working man Bobby Kennedy saves world
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Yes- not my usual read but part for the course for author. Financial intrigue with attempt at immigrant family several generations up the line "seeing the market" while playing the bad boy.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
Plot was good if not predictable. Financial ruin in some aspects, love interest thrown in, and geopolitics for good measure. Not a thriller but close.
Did the narration match the pace of the story?
Narrator gets fair marks. Did not take away from quality of the experience.
Do you think The Prince of Risk needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
Not needed but room was left for a new story with same characters.
Any additional comments?
Parts in middle were a little slow but overall a quality listen by a known quantity author.

I liked it
It wasn’t as good as some of the more recent books but I liked the characters, good reading performance. This one was just a bit more predictable but deserves its 5 stars. One of my top 3 authors.

Good book
Good book and holds your interest throughout, it gets a little slow mid story , but gets you back and ends well.
