A Heartbeat Away: A Thriller Audiobook

" The depths of evil within the government are highlighted in this novel about mad science gone wrong and the terrorist sabotage of the State of the Union address. The finish was too easy... "

" As per usual, a twisty-turney page turner. Don't think you've got it figured out cuz you probably don't. I really like this author and have read almost everything he's ever written. Absolutely enjoyed it. "

" We listened to this audio on our recent car trip. It's a story about the insidious greed for political power and wealth and the extent to which the characters will go to get what they want. Disenchantment with politics seems to be a common theme these days, and unfortunately a justifiable one with the political climate we have been living in for the last decade. The premise was a bit far fetched as was the solution to the predicament. But leave your reality check at the door and it's an entertaining story, exciting and fast paced action. "

" I thought this book was just okay. It wasn't as bad as some critics have said. But at the same time its one where I wouldn't rush to get it. The plotline was a little unrealistic. "

" A little light on plot.... "

" Michael Palmer does it again ,suspense the whole way , good guys & bad guys ... great audio book . "

" great book...michael palmer..medical mysteries especially around politics...just as good as robin cook.... "

" This was hard to put down, and creepy. It's all about bio-terrorism which I probably would rather have stayed ignorant of. But if you like that sort of thing it's a great read. "

" Definitely a little out there, but if you enjoy conspiracy theories and action, you'll probably like this book. "

" an entertaining medical thriller with an appealing main character. there were times I needed to accept a few plot contrivances, but it still was an entertaining read. It didn't terrify like "Ebola" and "Hot Zone" did, but was still good. "

" Exciting page-turner focusing on the Presidential Succession. "

" Michael Palmer is one of our favorite authors! Whenever possible we listen to one of his books while we travel. "

" Great political thriller wrapped in a medical thriller "

" Pretty good story. Nice twists and turns. "

" Next to Michael C , Palmer is a one of a kind. Robin Cook Fan will love this book. "

" An enjoyable political/medical thriller. I've never read this author before, but will look at some of his other books. "

" Three stars for a mystery or suspense generally carries less weight in my ratings system than 3 stars for a literary work. Wish there was a star system with more nuance. Three stars for a suspense like this means it satisfied the need for an entertaining, quick read in a mostly believable way. "

" Michael Palmer always manages to freak me out with his stories of what evils lie within the medical field, and this book lives up to the reputation. An intriguing scenario and a satisfying conclusion. "

" Loved the premise but after the first couple of chapters it really dropped off for me. Just felt like this was not his best . "

" This was an interesting storyline that a virus could be introduced into a session of congress. It took awhile for the story to get going but, then the last 100 or so pages became page-turners. "

" Best book I have read in years. Could not put it down. "

" This was hard to put down, and creepy. It's all about bio-terrorism which I probably would rather have stayed ignorant of. But if you like that sort of thing it's a great read. "

" Fast paced book, had me guessing all the way. "

" Great medical mystery about being a heartbeat away from the Presidency. Lovely fun to read. "

" This book, as most of Palmer's books, reminds me of Early Crichton. Halfway through in two days....great read. Frightening in details, great conclusion. Hope he uses the characters again. "

" Definitely a little out there, but if you enjoy conspiracy theories and action, you'll probably like this book. "

" It was like reading an episode of "24". Only it took place in ten days instead of one day. "

" As per usual, a twisty-turney page turner. Don't think you've got it figured out cuz you probably don't. I really like this author and have read almost everything he's ever written. Absolutely enjoyed it. "

" Fast moving, listened to the audio book while traveling. "

" Starts out a little slow and confusing with alot of characters, but ends up being really entertaining. Would make a good movie. The president and 700 people in the capital building are exposed to a rare virus and the race is on to save them. "

" Good book. Full of adventure and action (lots very implausible, but what do you expect!). "

" Very Good. Could not put it down! "

" Pretty good story. Nice twists and turns. "
