Lethal Dangerousness

By: Steve McElhenny

Narrated by: Read Shepherd

The year is 1986.

The increasing popularity of video-game consoles and home-video recorders render requests for traditional toys at an all-time low.

With his workshop rapidly losing popularity and demand among the children of the world, Santa Claus decides to take his business in a new direction.

International drug trafficking.

After all, why lose money making Christmas crackers, when he can earn money making Christmas crackheads?

With his new business plan and slave-like working conditions causing great pain and misery among his elf employees, one of the elves escapes to the big city to enlist the help of Dallas Stone, a maverick cop who only knows one way to fight crime.

Action has a new face - and a terrible mullet.

very good

you will really like this book if your into detective stuff. very good narrator and amazing story line

Cop good, Santa Bad

I laughed so much. I loved the senior partner, hard on the outside, but soft on the inside. I did also like how bad Santa became, but he was still jolly.

Frickin Awsome!

this was like an 80s movie on audio! the characters were over the top! And the story was super fun!

Dallas Stone meets Santa!

Take a tough cop who dresses like a character in Miami Vice and wears a ridiculous mullet, add in a rookie with a heart of gold, then throw in Santa, elves and evil henchmen and you have an idea of what's in store with this book! As if that wasn't enough, you also have a group of thieving Ninjas and a robot that goes crazy while supposedly fighting crime.

In 1986, children aren't as interested in teddy bears and toy trains anymore. Instead, they want the latest video games. Santa decides that since his particular gifts aren't in great demand, he'll become the next drug lord! But, the elves aren't happy with this development and one in particular named Patches escapes Santa's workshop and gets help from none other than the aforementioned Dallas Stone!

This book was great fun to read and the action and snarky comments never stop. You will learn whether or not elves can get drunk (they can) or if they will enjoy a lap dance or two (you'll have to read it to find out!). Dallas Stone is such an over the top caricature that you will find yourself falling in love with him.

The narrator did a great job and his performance made this roller coaster ride of fun even better. If you enjoy humor, a unique story and don't mind a bit of profanity and some gory moments, you will love this book.

Great narrator

Fantastic story and narrator!! Kept me engaged. Definitely a great listen. Can’t wait to get the sequel.
