Summary
Over 2,000 5-star reviews! Called "A Terrifically Entertaining Thriller!" by Publishers Weekly, Book-1 of the Brainrush series was named The Wall Street Journal #1 Bestselling Action/Adventure in their "Guide to Self-Published Big Sellers", while Book 2 held a death grip on the #1 or #2 slots of the Amazon Top-Rated (best reviewed) Mystery/Thrillers list for 10 straight months. This set the stage for the blockbuster release of the final book in the trilogy, which was heralded by Suspense magazine as "part science fiction, part thriller, part suspense, part love story, and part mystery. It's got it all and that's what makes this novel one of the best."
Before he slid into the MRI machine, Jake Bronson was just an ordinary guy with terminal cancer. But when an earthquake hits during the procedure, Jake staggers from the wreckage a profoundly changed man, now endowed with uncanny mental abilities. An ocean away, Luciano Battista wants a piece of Jake's talent. Posing as a pioneering scientist, the terrorist leader has been conducting cerebral-implant experiments in a sinister quest to create a breed of super jihadist agents...and Jake's altered brain may be the key to his success. But Jake refuses to play the pawn in an unholy war - and when an innocent woman and autistic child are taken hostage to force his cooperation, he embarks on a jihad of his own.
Jake and his band of loyal friends are thrust into a deadly chase that leads from the canals of Venice through Monte Carlo and finally to an ancient cavern in the Hindu Kush mountains of Afghanistan - where Jake discovers that his newfound talents carry a hidden price that threatens the entire human race.
The wild ride continues from the beaches of California to a raging underground river in Mexico, the rain forests of Venezuela, the Mediterranean coast, the Swiss Alps, and finally to a secret southeast Asia island, where Jake must lever every scrap of his failing brain to prevent an apocalyptic disaster.

Really enjoyed.
Really enjoyed this book set. I was a little unsure going in, as it seemed a little more fantasy than my usual books, but I was highly surprised.
There was lots of action from the get go, no sooner had we met Jake and his dire circumstances than the whole world was rocked apart and his life drastically changed.
There was intense character development, and interaction between friends, and those who just seemed to get involved, especially those in the military side of the story.
Through all 3 books there were huge obstacles, and fights. It got more Sci-Fi than fantasy and I was very happy with the outcome, most of the time I was sat on the edge of my driving seat while listening. So much to go wrong, so many of our fav characters to get injured, or die! eeek.
Almost tempted to get the next few in the series, but I've just got them on my wishlist for now, as I've more than a few to get through. :) I'll defo be back for some more, thanks Richard and of course to RC I'm a huge fan.

A Fast-food story
All in all I enjoyed these books. It is non-stop and I found the cliches funny. It’s so non-stop, though, that there’s not much space to digest it and I found myself zoning out at times and finding I didn’t know what was going on. It didn’t matter really. It’s not the most deep or mature of stories but it kept me amused.

Kept me interested
Brilliant from RC Bray as usual. The story was limited in some ways such as chapters being a bit too exceptional but it was all action and somewhat unusual so it kept me involved. Well worth the listen.

Great series
Engaging writing and a great performance. Story line is quite different which makes it even more absorbing.

Far fetched nonsense
Well narrated but just a silly, overblown, over emotional fantasy rather like a kids comic.

Not suitable for adults.
If you like deus ex machina where the only twists in the story are the reveal of the new and exact skills/resources the characters need right now this is for you.
If somebody got James Bond, McGuyver, Star Trek Voyager and Neo melted down into one ridiculous universe it would be Brainrush. Only better. But it would still be terrible. RC Bray can't carry much blame here, he's just making his dollars. But this book has too many different people far too often in the same scene. it really stretches his narration as he does like to have an accent for everybody. The source material was just too poor to start with he should never have tried.
