    About this audiobook

    “Audacious and terrifying—and uncannily believable.”
    —Lee Child

    New York Times bestselling author of the Jack Reacher series, Lee Child, was blown away by The Breach—and you will be, too! A novel of unrelenting suspense and nonstop surprises, The Breach immediately rockets author Patrick Lee into the V.I.P. section of the thriller universe. A treat for Jack Bauer (“24”) fans and “X-Files” aficionados, it is a white-knuckle roller-coaster ride that combines the best of Dean Koontz and Michael Crichton with a healthy dollop of Indiana Jones thrown into the mix—the perfect secret agent/government conspiracy/supernatural adventure.

      I'm a frequent reader so get board easily. This snapped my attention and held it the entire time. Truly was an untold concept/story and a surprise ending!
    • 5/5
      A Tour de France from start to finish. Amazing concept and perfectly executed. My second time around read this book.
    • 5/5
      Good story, action almost from page 1. Another good thing was the quality of the recording, bright an not muffled like the other audiobooks. Its volume was also loud enough so i could listen on it while riding a bus.
    • 4/5
      I found this book when looking for recommendations after reading Stephen King's "The Stand".Whilst not as gripping as The Stand, and the characters not as well developed as King's, it is nonetheless a well told story. Almost every night when putting it down the story was poised with a new threat to be overcome. The ideas and obstacles Lee creates are enjoyable and unexpected. Very creative story elements.The love affair between the principle characters was not overwhelming - just sufficient to drive some of their motivations.This is the first in a three-book series. I will not hesitate to read the second.
    • 5/5
      Fast paced, gritty and suspenseful. The science bits are handled intelligently.
    • 5/5
      The twists were non-stop. Who would have thought of this not ending. Lol
    • 2/5
      They should have labeled this book ‘Fantasy. Then I would have skipped over it and not left a so-so review.
    • 4/5
      Very imaginative. Would have been just as good without the gratuitous violence. The novel does stress the imagination but the fixation on violence is a detriment to the story.
    • 5/5
      I enjoyed this book very much. The characters are well-developed plot was Intriguing.
    • 5/5
      Very creative and engaging plot. I was entertained throughout. Going to look for something just like it to listen to next!
    • 4/5
      A story of temporal paradox wrapped in a action thriller
      A good plot but the story reads as a movie and did not have the details I would want or expect but nonetheless a enjoyable tale to while away a couple of afternoons

      Could easily have been double the length to cover the issues on the story and I would have still been held by it
    • 5/5
      Twist and turns. An unexpected conclusion. Excellent story and performance.
    • 3/5
      Ok if you switch your brain off. Possibly a clever storyline, apart from the zombie apocalypse nonsense.
    • 2/5
      My first introduction to author Patrick Lee was by reading "Runner" (1st novel in the series about Sam Dryden, retired special forces) which I thoroughly enjoyed. Introduction to the character of Travis Chase at first intrigued but then the novel became a little too futuristic for my taste.
    • 3/5
      The book was great..twists and turns..expect the unexpected..the ending was ????Well..sad and fell flat..it just ends with the knowledge of him being the one sending a message..LAME.
    • 4/5
      Fairly shallow popcorn read. No need to engage your brain.
    • 1/5
      Started out good halfway through til the end was over the top. Terrible.
    • 4/5
      The Breach was the first book I read by Patrick Lee. The plot was surprisingly original and I initially enjoyed it.

      However, the storyline seem to get a bit loose and could have done with tighter editing. The story also seemed to have a few missing pages as I often found myself wondering how it jumped from one event to another. It felt like I was reading an abridged version at times.

      I would like to rate the story 3.5 stars, but decided to round it up. Since it was my first book by the author, I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt. Additionally, I had to ask myself whether I want to read the next book in the series, and found that I want to.

      The narrator was great too.
    • 4/5
      A good fast paced thriller that takes the reader from Alaska to Zurich to Wyoming all in the attempt to stop a machine that could destroy the whole world.

      This book had me by the shirt and curlys right from the beginning! The author “gently” help you understand what is going on. I didn’t want to stop listening. I’ll definitely look for other books by Patrick Lee, thanks ?

      The worst book I've ever read, and I've read Dan Brown.

      This is the first of a series of sci-fi thrillers starring Travis Chase, ex-con and ex-cop. It is unimaginably silly, with a death count to rival actual wars, and yet … I was somewhat intrigued. I do love a good time-travel story, which is part of what’s going on here. But I won’t be reading the rest of the series as life is too short. Especially if Travis Chase, wearing his “invisible suit”, has you in his sights.
    • 3/5
      Enjoyable airport reading, recommend burn through all three books in one go.
    • 5/5
      If you are looking for a fast-paced, well-written, science fiction thriller, I recommend you pick up this book. I picked it up (the audio edition) mainly because it was available on my library's site, and wasn't disappointed.

      There's a certain amount of violence, (and one scene of torture, which skated just to the edge of my comfort zone) but it is not glorified or described any further than it must be to convey the scene.

      Current day politics and future technology revolve around a main character with an intriguing backstory and an uncertain future. In short, it kept me intrigued from intro to end.
    • 4/5
      Thrillers are not my usual fare, but this one was given to me as a Christmas present a couple of years ago and so I thought I should give it a go. The writing was...not great, the characters flat and unevolving, and I'm sure that if I let myself examine the plot beyond a quick glance it would be easy to find a bucketload of holes. But. BUT. Somehow or other - reader, brace yourself - I *enjoyed* it. The story was so over-the-top ridiculous and the twists so crazy and unlikely that I couldn't help but be entertained. Normally the faults I listed above would have me running in any direction that constituted Away, but I just kept wondering what could possibly happen next. So, high literature it most certainly ain't, and don't expect much at all from the characters, but the plotline itself is worth the teeth-gritting in the other categories. Guardedly recommended.

      A man gets out of prison and goes hiking in Alaska to think. Then he stumbles across a crashed Boeing 747 out in the middle of nowhere. And then...Well, it's a pretty good read, even though I got very confused at the end. It's basically an action-thriller, with a bit of sci-fi thrown in. I liked Paige more than Travis, and I liked the idea of the Whisper, but as the book becomes more and more sci-fi toward the end, my enjoyment of the story dipped accordingly. The plot kind of goes off on a "Tangent", pun intended!Honestly, I'm not exactly sure what happened at the end, which isn't a good thing. But I did like the story - but I won't read the sequel.
    • 4/5
      Fun thriller but don't think too hard. Just take the ride and worry about the small details another time.

      The Breach is one of those books that's a real pleasure to read and draws you in from the first page to the last. A unique plot and plenty of action as well as plot twists keeps you turning the pages will into the night. Looking forward to the following book 'Ghost Country' now.
    • 4/5
      My totally random brother in law ended up spending a weekend reading this at my house and it was off his recommendation I picked it up.

      This is a damn interesting book. Secret government agencies protecting a "breach' in space and time. From this hole comes a variety of things delivered randomly by some unseen force. Seem objects seem useless, some incredibly dangerous and some possible technological breakthroughs that could change the world. It is not random though. Someone or something in some place or some time has an agenda and it's all about to kick off.
