Evil, Inc.

By: Glenn Kaplan

Narrated by: Glenn Kaplan

Ken Olson's world is shattered by a corporate crime that his company must cover up at any cost. Stripped of everything but his passion for justice, Olson discovers the dark and dangerous world behind the corporate jets, the hired killers who secretly do the corporation's dirtiest work, the clandestine offshore bank accounts, and the greedy machinations of the lucky few at the top.

Olson's struggle pits him against a host of deadly rivals: a psychopathic CEO who has hijacked the corner office, a brutal killer from the private military underworld, a network anchorwoman without a hint of conscience, an aristocrat who pulls the strings of power, and a hot young actress who makes sex a tool of deception.

Critic reviews

"Kaplan takes kill-or-be-killed business ideologies to psychopathic new levels in this deftly plotted corporate thriller....It's Donald Trump meets Hannibal Lecter, with highly engaging results." ( Publishers Weekly)

Not Very Good

If you like James Patterson you will probably enjoy this book. He provided a blurb and was an obvious influence. I thought the plot was unrealistic and the dialogue was atrocious. There were so many times that I though you have to be kidding, but the writer was not. There was still something there to keep me hanging on to find out what happens. I actually thought the writer did a very good job of reading his own work.

3 stars is generous

I agree with most of the other so-so reviews. Pretty cheesy dialoge, over the top scenarios, unbelievable corporate characters, unnecessary sex scenes, etc. Still, I manged to make it through the whole book and I think it had its moments. I thought the narration (read by the author) was fine.

Good

I enjoyed this book. Yes, the dialog was a little wooden sometimes but the plot was great and it kept my interest. I didn't think the reader was as good as some I have heard; but he also wasn't bad by a long shot.

He isn't Joseph Finder

But it was a decent listen. Scott Brick as a narrator would have given this book another star. The author needs to stick to writing and let a professional narrator - narrate.

The plot was decent but if you are a fan of Joseph Finder, this is not going to fully satisfy your corporate mystery craving.

I will definitely give this author another listen if he tries another corporate mystery - as long as he lets Scott Brick read it!

Fire the Reader

Although I would have enjoyed this book had I read it on paper, it was spoiled for me by the style of the reader/author, who apparently thought he was reading this to kindergarten students. He should stick to writing and not reading! I would probably read something by this author in the future, but only if he is not the reader!
