King of Code

Dirty Tycoons, Book 1

By: CD Reiss

Narrated by: Christian Fox

From New York Times best-selling author, CD Reiss, comes an all new, sexy tale of secrets, intrigue, betrayal, and a love worth crossing a continent for.

Taylor Harden is a man on the edge.

The edge of fame. The edge of untold wealth.

The edge of utter humiliation.

He built an unhackable system, and in front of everyone, it gets hacked.

His reputation goes from king to goat in a split second. Boom. Like that.

Some dude in Barrington, USA (AKA Nowhere) has locked down Taylor's code, and if he does not get it back, he is going to be wearing a monkey suit for the rest of his life.

Except, this guy? This hacker from Nowhere? He is not a guy.

Harper Watson is all woman. And she has a plan for Taylor, his code, and his body.

This is the future of audio narration...

This is the future of audio narration. This is the Star Wars of audio books. With special effects and sound effects like no other. Listen and you will understand. It's an exhilarating workout for your mind.

The setting of this story - a quirky, backwards town called Barrington that is caught in the middle of Twin Peaks and the Twilight Zone. It was spooky. It was Hitchcock meets Mr. Robot. A cast of secondary characters that truly made this story all fit together like a Sherlock Holmes mystery.

Production by Andi Arndt - outstanding! The talent you bring to the audio world astounds me!

The story by CD Reiss- just incredible. It's intense. It's extremely detailed. It's brilliantly written. King of Code plays out like a movie that has you on the edge of your seat. It's intriguing. It's sensual. It's written in a way that makes you think and leaves you guessing.

Harper, The Queen, is the Goose to Taylor, The King's Maverick. Together they became the top gun of the coding and hacking generation.

The one man show narration by Christian Fox is indescribable! The characters created by CD Reiss's words were brought to life by his incredible acting ability. The mind sequences and coding were brilliant! He portrayed the King, the queen, and everyone else with British and Bangladesh accents flawlessly. Christian Fox is truly engaging and immerses you into this fictional world of hacking and computer geniuses. This was his best performance ever!

The ending is a song created by the emotional journey that I never saw coming. It was genius!

Splendid just superb!!!

I'm not surprised about CD Reiss coming with this master piece of a book at all what I am is deliriously in cloud nine about it. First of all the voice of Christian Fox is just perfection and the rest is how well written this book is, how intriguing but at the same time transparent the characters are. Harper and Taylor are full of passion but the best part is how you along with them fall in love with each other. Really recommend this book 💯. Mrs Reiss thank you for making the wait for this book worth it and deliciously enjoyable ❤️❤️!

4 stars

Loved the story but the performance was fantastic. The code parts were some of my fave! Can't wait for book 2!

Didn’t like Harper

I made myself to finish this book because I wanted to know how it ended and I liked Taylor. However, Harper is one of the least likable female leads I have come across. She is manipulative, rude and arrogant. I suspect the author wanted to write into her the strong alpha male characteristics that are so often loved in male leads, but for me it didn’t work. At no time did I think she was a good match for Taylor. I didn’t like her all that much and I sort of hoped he left her. Did she ever adequately explain why she hacked him? Did she ever convince us that Taylor should save her town? The answer to both questions is No.

Secondly, the cello music was weird and didn’t add a thing to the performance. I could have done without it.

Third, I realize that with the printed book, the long sequences of numbers would be easy to skip over. In an audio book, reading out a 20 character number-letter combo with a distortion effect on the audio track was just strange. Since this happened multiple times in the story it became distractive and pulled me away from the story. The number itself is meaningless to the listener. I say abridge it and read it as “a complex code of letters and numbers” to keep the attention of the listener.

All in all I would give this 3.5 stars.

Not too good

I started this book and stop it. Then listen to it but the story is not good. He too smart to be so dumb. I do not like Harper. I am not even done but I keep skipping things just to get it over with.
