Deadlock

A John Hutchinson Novel

By: Robert Liparulo

Narrated by: Henry Kramer

Hutch is a newspaper columnist, single dad . . . and last defense against a lunatic's high-tech killing machine in this edge-of-your-seat thriller.

Special Forces veteran-turned-billionaire Brendan Page has some dirty not-so-little secrets. He's built an empire on supplying futuristic weapons and highly trained soldiers to the world's most powerful armies. But he's saved his most destructive weapons for himself.

John Hutchinson, a Denver newspaper columnist and avid bow-hunter, has figured out the truth about Brendan Page and is determined to bring him down. But he's up against a warmonger linked to assassinations, kidnappings, and terrorist activities.

Hutch quickly uncovers a plan that seems unfathomable in its recklessness and loss of life. Yet he's just one man up against impossible odds--with no Plan B. Thankfully, it's just the kind of environment Hutch thrives best in . . . if he can survive the next three days.

Deadlock will grab you from the riveting first page to its white-knuckle climax.

I like how family oriented it is

I had moments of both up and down. I liked how hutch bonded with the woman's boy but kept that balance to his own son

This Book Was Hard for Me to Finish

Too many unnecessary details that made the book a lot longer than it should have been.
I wish I had a dollar every time the kids refused to do what they were asked. I know it is just a story but cringed every time the kids said no, I'm not doing what you asked or questioned their parents' decision. The kids should have been the characters fighting the bad guys by themselves. They had just as much authority according to this story. I've read hundreds of books. This was nothing new to me. It is a clean book. No profanity. I did enjoy that part.

Could have been a lot better

Too many details and dragged out way too much. Hard to believe a bow hunter that wasn’t at least ex military like Rambo could take out a billion dollar defense contractor
