About this listen
"Lee's imagination knows no boundaries, which makes the story elements completely unpredictable...Just when it seems clear what's truly going on, another surprise appears." --Associated Press
From Patrick Lee, author of Runner, Sam Dryden comes under attack from unknown forces as an unremembered episode from his past threatens more than just his life.
On an otherwise normal morning, former Special Forces operative Sam Dryden is the target of an unsuccessful attempted abduction. Using his attacker's cell phone, he learns that another person, a woman named Danica Ellis, is also being targeted. Dryden arrives just in time to save Danica from the assault team sent after her. But neither of them recognizes the other or has any idea why they are being targeted. The only clue is a heavily redacted, official-looking document given to Danica by her stepfather before he was killed.
Dryden immediately recognizes it as a "scrub file". A scrub file is a record of what a subject knew before their memories were chemically destroyed. The redacted document refers to witnesses to a secret military site in Ashland, Iowa, in 1989. Both Dryden and Danica Ellis lived in Ashland in 1989, when they were both 12 years old, though neither of them has any memory of the other.
Switching back and forth between the present day, when Dryden and Danica try to elude the forces that are after them, and the past in Ashland, Iowa, when both were 12, making a discovery that forever changed their lives, this latest Sam Dryden audiobook proves yet again that Patrick Lee is one of the most original, compelling thriller writers today.

This is Patrick Lee t his Very VERY best.
I love all things Patrick Lee. This did not disappoint. I just wish the 2nd Sam Drydon book, Signal was on Audiable.
I love Patrick's characters in this, and the story was so spellbinding it just immerses in Adventure. The narrative was also really well done. 5 stars all round. I'd give more if I could.

Lifeless reading of passable story
Patrick Lee is an interesting author who looks for big ideas to base his novels on, in a popcorn entertaining kind of way. His Breach trilogy is excellent, but he's seemed to struggle since, this novel tries the narrative quirk of our heroes as both 12 year olds having gone through an (highly improbable) adventure and their adult selves reliving that same events. It's supposed to be breathless entertainment, good guys with guns, bad guys with gas, and it works on some levels but the author can't distinguish between the two ages, specifically in dialogue. The 12 year olds never feel believable, not even remotely, and so the two stories blur into one repetitive one. The narration is lifeless and very unengaging.
