The Trinity Game Audiobook

" Worth reading? Sort of. At one point I was ready to quit and then picked it up for 1 more try and got hooked, for a while. Then the story dragged and I just wanted to finish the book. Have you ever read one like this? When it was good it was really good and when it was bad it was boring. "

" I found this book fascinating and am still pondering the possibilities. "

" I wouldn't say this kept me on the edge of my seat, but it did hold my interest. I appreciated that I didn't have to think too hard to enjoy it. It fit at just the right time. "

" This is a reasonably exciting book. A priest who is with the Vatican's miracle investigation team is sent to debunk his uncle's. Because the uncle is correctly predicting future events such as horse races, various groups are also after him. Which one will succeed? "

" Tragically orphaned at childbirth and raised by his tent-show revivalist grifter uncle Tim Trinity, as a very young man Daniel Byrne forgoes a promising boxing career and an alluring woman for the priesthood. Eventually Byrne earns a senior position in the Vatican's Office of the Devil's Advocate, the Church's bureau tasked with investigating and debunking claims of divinely-inspired miracles around the world. Years after turning his back on Trinity and his religious scams, the Vatican dispatches Byrne to America to assess, and disprove, Trinity's new-found abilities to accurately predict future events while speaking in bizarre tongues during his internationally televised sermons. Trinity's ardent followers are convinced God has selected the old grifter as His latest earthly loudspeaker. Elements both official and clandestine in the Vatican believe otherwise, as does Byrne. Byrne travels to Atlanta to confront his uncle, only to find that perhaps Trinity's recent gift might indeed have supernatural, if not heavenly, origins. Organized crime bosses in Las Vegas don't care where Trinity's predictive prowess comes from -- they want him stopped at all costs, because his prescience includes not only foreseeing tragic oil rig explosions and horrific traffic wrecks, but also calling final scores in sporting events yet to be played. Pursued by countless fans and foes across the American South, including federal agents and professional assassins, Byrne enlists help from of his old lover, now a CNN journalist, and from a mercenary friend who owes his life to the priest after a violent episode in Central America years back, to slip Trinity out of Atlanta. Trinity demands Byrne get him in one piece to New Orleans, where Trinity must deliver to the world from the steps of the St. Louis Cathedral in Jackson Square a message only he can give. Author Sean Chercover has written an engaging modern thriller. His prose is crisp. Byrne and Trinity are interesting characters, though the rest of the novel's cast are fairly flat stock good guys or bad guys. The novel reflects that the author knows the places where his story takes place very well, and this is particularly so regarding New Orleans. All considered, "The Trinity Game" is an entertaining book that will leave thriller readers satisfied. "

" What a fascinating premise for a novel! I was hooked right from the start. This isn't a typical thriller - in fact, I might rather classify it as suspense - but there's no denying that there is plenty of action, along with an unexpected religious mystery. Fans of Dan Brown will surely enjoy this, but don't write it off as a "The Da Vinci Code" wannabe. This book has a motley cast of characters and family drama that goes well beyond a mass market midnight paperback. "

" Good action/thriller with a unique premise. Ending felt a bit flat, but plot was very engaging. "

" I found this book interesting, but in the beginning I had a hard time following the story line. I would recommend it even though it was not one of my favorites. Everyone has different taste. "

" I felt bad for my Catholic friends when I read this one. Good tale of suspense, fast-paced. Overall I enjoyed the diversion. "

" Really enjoyed this. It's a quick suspense novel. Great summer entertainment. "

" Brought up a lot of interesting questions about religion. Very interesting, although somewhat predictable. "

" Liked concept of story & found just enough turns in story to keep me reading. Characters were a bit slim in their actions. Conspiracy fans will enjoy the Catholic Church aspects. Caution those with deep religious bias to skip this one. "

" What a wild ride this book was! I found it hard to put down. No matter what your religious beliefs are and even if you don't have any, you will enjoy this book. Love reading books that make you think, all the while enjoying the adventure. Highly recommend this book to all. "

" The book was a serious page turner, I could not put it down. A priest who works to verifty or debunk miracle claims investigates a case of speaking in tongues by a televangelist, who also happens to be his estranged uncle. It takes off from there! "

" As much as I wanted to have Chercover knock my socks off with another novel, it just didn't happen. The subject matter, the Catholic Church and the investigation of miracles, was interesting, but the book just became too predictable for my taste. "

" Kind of disappointed in the ending, many questions left unanswered. "

" Everything you could ask for in a thriller: evil priests, voodoo, romance, New Orleans, and some very dry wit. "

" Awful. Kept waiting for something exciting and it never did. Avoid this book. "

" Excellent book. A thriller from the beginning with a most interesting plot. Too much coarse language, but I managed. "

" As I finished this book , I felt disappointed....the story was fast paced and very interesting.....I just felt let down at the ending.......would recommend it but only because it s an easy fast read "

" This is a nice mystery type novel - nothing spectacular but definitely entertaining. It's in the same realm as James Patterson's new collaborative works: slightly under his old works and those of Jonathan and Faye Kellerman. A solid read. "

" The story is a good one, though it reads on the slow side. I enjoyed reading this one. "

" This book has a good mix of religion, televangelism, and suspense. I was almost sorry I'd finished it. "

" Kept me interested with anticipation of whats to come. "

" Very slow read. I was expecting a fast-paced thriller and instead got a pretty bland book that lacked much in the way of an interesting plot or character development. "

" I enjoyed this book. Religious-conspiracy theories makes me question or think profoundly. "
