The Odds

By: Jeff Strand

Narrated by: Scott Thomas

After a disastrous evening playing slot machines, Ethan Caustin wonders how he's going to explain his massive loss to his wife and kids. As he tries to find his way out of the casino, sick to his stomach and filled with self-loathing, he's approached by a stranger who offers a solution to his problem.

It's a simple game. A 99 percent chance for him to win $10,000. In the remote chance that he loses...well, he'll be strapped into a device that shatters his left arm.

The odds are very much in his favor. But this is only the first round.

As the game goes on, the prizes and penalties keep changing, along with his chances of winning. As the high stakes get out of control and Ethan desperately wants to quit, he'll learn that they've only offered him one means of escape: Play the game to the very end....

A thrilling novel of suspense from the Bram Stoker Award-nominated author of Pressure and My Pretties.

Unmercifully Suspenseful

I'm a fan of Strand's work and he really knows how to make his readers and characters squirm.

What an awesome red!

I binged this in one day. A man with a gambling addiction enters a deadly game where the odds are decreasingly in his favor.

Highly recommend

Heck Yeah! What a fun little ride!

Wow I really enjoyed this book! This is my first from this author, but I'll absolutely be checking more out! Got my attention from the very beginning, and the pace kept up! Narrator was great!

Crazy game

The narrator was very good with voices and the production was quite on par with some of the highest end books. Wow if you like a story with twists and turns and crazy stuff, with high octane risks, then this book is for you.

After this book, I want something that’s a much lighter to listen to. The author did a very good job of weaving the story and coming up with impossible situations..

This was fun!!

I loved it!! This was a fun and entertaining book. It was funny, thrilling and overall a wild ride. I loved the story, the narration and all of the characters!! Easy 5 stars! Gotta read more from Jeff Strand.
