Silent Thunder Audiobook

" Another one of those books that I listened to on audio. A bit of history, mystery, romantic undertones, suspense... It has a powerful family undercurrent. It made me laugh and cry; and, more importantly, keep me captivated to hear the next chapter. I was very surprised when I found out this book was written by mother and son; no wonder the family theme was strong. Could easily be a great movie. "

" I liked the first book that I read by Iris Johansen better. This one was alright. A decent way to spend a day reading. This book was predictable. Especially in regard to Kirov's true identity. "

" OK, so 2 stars probably isn't fair but I see that there are several 1 star reviews here so maybe I'm not alone. I started listening to this on audio and was up to part 4 when I ran smack into the whole Russian names thing/spy stuff. Completely lost interest and didn't finish. Life is too short to read/listen to something that doesn't grab me. "

" Awesome book, I loved the characters, and the plot, I felt for the sadness and loss, and I loved the action! Just a great book! Cover is a bit weird though, same with the next one. "

" First book by Iris and Roy Johansen I ever read. It was very good. "

" Action packed thriller! I love the fact that the main heroine is a smart intelligent women. The story is definitely a page turner! "

" Learned? "

" I love just about everything Iris Johansen writes. This book was no exception. It had suspense, romance, political drama...it was a definite page-turner and I couldn't put it down! "

" This book was certainly a change from the other Iris Johansen novels that I have read. It's not the normal, romance suspense that she writes, it tries to be more of an action book. However, it needs more action if that is the direction she wanted to go. "

" Not what I expected from this author. Very slow going and not an interesting read in my opinion "

" New characters, great story. I wanted even one of the bad guys to come out ahead! "

" 5-star rating--just finished this one and it was totally exciting from start to finish "

" Hannah seemed to really know what she was doing, throw in Kirov and she forgets. I enjoyed the underwater adventure, especially the dolphins. "

" once you got past the sub it was great "

" who has the lesser evil agenda? pretty good story with lots of connections "

" so, somewhat predictable, but i don't care. i think im realising that Iris Johanson is a guilty pleasure of mine. :) "

" This is a taut suspense filled adventure from the first page to the last. But what else could you epect from Iris Johansen, and evidently the writing gene has been shared with her son Roy. "

" Ending wrapped up to quickly but good action unitl then. "

" not very exciting. i've liked many of her other books, but this one was boring. i ended up skipping most of the middle. "

" Good plot. Easy read. Fairly interesting. "

" Liked the story line......quick read. "

" I thought this book was reminiscent of other similar books with the same overtone and tremendous blood bath type of relationship loss - not sure if I need to change my author base or hope for better and less murderous type plots!!! "

" Not the best Iris Johansen book that I have read. It was good for just killing time. "

" very good, fast paced "

" Not one of Johansen's best but it kept my attention enough to get me through the book. "

" this one is fun!! a few surprises along the way too "

" quick read-good for travel "

" I got this book as a gift and I really enjoyed it. Have never read anything by this author so it was fun to try something new. Its a murder mystery thriller with lots of intrigue and a touch of KGB! I would reccomend it! "

" Not really my type of book. I skipped over a lot of the technical and science jargon in order to get through it. If it was another author I probably wouldn't have finished it, don't know if I will bother with the rest of the series. "

" This was a prequel to Shadow Zone. I actually read it first. Both books are quick reads. "

" suspenseful, interesting, good characters; not drenched in gore or stopping for sex every few pages - big pluses in my book! "

" who has the lesser evil agenda? pretty good story with lots of connections "

" so, somewhat predictable, but i don't care. i think im realising that Iris Johanson is a guilty pleasure of mine. :) "

" Bad guy and crazy submarine captain comes back to avenge his crew and falls the pretty scientist highly recommend to a wide audience "

" Little different but I liked it. Iris has her own unique style which I prefer at this time. Story was good though. "

" Leading romance author turns to the high tech world. It's okay, but did not engage my interest. "

" Good read!!! A real page turner!! "

" I've been an avid Iris Johansen reader, but just didn't enjoy this book. The plot felt too contrived and forced (even though all of her works are fanciful). This book just couldn't keep me interested. "

" This was a fast-paced thriller type. Unfortunately, I was ready to finish it. Nothing wrong with it, but I guess my tastes in reading have changed. Lots of dialogue, some action, and hints of romantic attraction. "
