Doch als Luke unter bizarren Umständen entführt wird, merkt er schnell, dass er sich selber helfen muß.
Synopsis
Luke Dantry tragically lost his parents when he was a teenager ? his father was murdered by a crazed operative, his mother died in a terrible accident. Brought up by his stepfather, Luke now works with him on his research, monitoring extremist groups on the internet. Yet within the seemingly harmless world of the internet lie untold dangers. And Luke suddenly feels the full force of them when he is kidnapped at gunpoint in an airport car park. As an ordinary guy, someone who has led a blameless life, he has no idea why he has been targeted. He only knows that he has to escape ? somehow. But to escape he must learn to trust no one and nothing, and to overcome an enemy more powerful than he could possibly realise ? an enemy who knows more than he does about the fate of his parents...

Format:Audio CD
Terrorism is certainly in the news today, and it's the focus of Jeff Abbott's race-against-time thriller. Luke Dantry has what is really a pretty uneventful job (although he likes to pump it up a bit for friends). He's employed by his stepfather to put in computer time tracking extreme thinking folks who may be possible terrorists. A lot of them let off steam, make threats, promises, and Luke calls one such group "Night Road" because of their nocturnal doings.
In Luke's mind most of thesepeople are probably loud mouths showing off. But when his life is suddenly on the line he realizes that at least one group, "Night Road," is dead , literally dead serious and he must move fast to keep America and the world from becoming vast devastation.
The chase to find the masterminds behind this devilish scheme takes Luke from Houston to Chicago to New York to Paris, always one small step ahead of his pursuers.
Professional actor Luke Daniels (yes, another Luke) gives a no-holds barred reading to this fast paced story of an incipient terrorist act that threatens our homes and our world.

fairly typical
24. August 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I am not a regular reader of crime/thrillers in the commercial fiction genre, but have recently been reading a number of them. As with most others, if you aren't used to reading much purely commercial fiction, it is surprising how poor the writing is. Occasionally one can tell that the author sat and pondered the possibilities, and carefully chose his words, but not often. The language is just too common; street language, basically, which I suppose largely defines the difference between literary and commercial fiction. It's like reading a TV cop show. (Why didn't the editor encourage Abbott not to begin two sentences in a row with "but"?)
The first two reviewers don't seem to have paid attention to the book. Luke isn't a low-life, nor is he a "lonely braggart" by any means. He is duped by his stepfather and drawn into a real mess, which then has this psychology student fighting off terrorists like a pro in order to save himself and a woman he has become attached to, and to clear up some mysteries from his own past.
Like watching a TV show with a similar plot, one can get hooked and want to continue to find out what happens, but as another reviewer mentioned, the plot will induce a lot of "oh, right" comments from readers, with unreal and unbelievable occurrences left and right. Abbott tries to sound like a well-researched writer with book recommendations for readers interested in terrorism, but make no mistake: this is not a book that presents a real-life picture of global terrorism, nor is it filled with details that hint at a researched effort, unless you consider name-dropping a pistol ("Glock 9") or the US State Department ("State") to count. Abbott's terrorists don't behave with much professionalism or secrecy, and come off rather as a bunch of unorganized goons.
I read the book, but wish I had audio-booked it as a jogging companion instead.

Limp Story Line
19. Dezember 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I have about 70 more pages to go and I quit and I should have quit reading earlier. "Trust Me" gave me no thrills at all and I found it to be rather lame nd weak. Here we have the hero, Luke a 24 year old just out of college and suddenly he becomes a pivotal character wanted by all factions because of his Night Road ventures. Namely going into domestic terrorist chatroom and chatting it with all the baddies. Then Luke gets kidnapped and Lukes adventure begins. There are a plethora of characters populating the story like his step father, his mother, his dead father, his living father, some domestic terrorists out to catch or kill him. And Luke evades them all like some new James Bond.
Implausible? The domestic terrorists are going to unleash 140 bombs throughout the US and this kid is going to stop them? Give me a break.
I give it 3 stars just because he finished it. Not a very good story otherwise and one to miss.

TRUST ME, IT'S FORGETTABLE
10. Dezember 2010
I began reading this yesterday, and persevered into the evening, but it didn't improve. The plot is elementary, and the characters are not credible. So it's joined the other unfinished novels, because as I get older I'm becoming more picky.
