The Adversary

A Chris Bruen Novel, Book 1

By: Reece Hirsch

Narrated by: Benjamin L. Darcie

Former DOJ cybercrimes prosecutor Chris Bruen walks into a dark apartment in Amsterdam to confront a hacker known as Black Vector. The hacker has stolen the source code for the world’s most ubiquitous operating system, which powers everything from personal computers to the NSA’s data centers. This should have been a routine assignment for Bruen, but instead of obtaining a confession, Bruen finds the hacker’s dead body and uncovers a hidden flash drive that contains the code for a remarkably sophisticated computer virus known as Lurker.

enjoyed the story

The story flowed well and captivating while driving. I found this to be worth a credit.

Pay close attention.

Interesting and lots of action. Lots of twists and turns to keep your attention.
Really enjoyed the stories as the action increased.

This is boring

It didn’t hold my interest. I like teck but this story was not holding any interest.

Great book

Really excellent book written before it this time. Good simple explanation to the computer stuff too.

Narrator needs to brush up on his French.

Really good srory, but the narrator's pronunciation of French words is pretty bad. It almost caused me to stop listening. Two examples: "gendarme" has an "n" in it, and I think it was "Pont Neuf" he badly mangled. Doesn't anyone listen to these recordings before they're published?
