Format:Audio CD
American born voice actor Dan Woren is a versatile performer who has adroitly read everything from the Tortoise in Aesop's Fables to a large assortment of video games to countless audio books. With The Rule Of Nine he perfectly captures the drive, terror, and menace found in the character's voices. The result is super pleasurable listening to this frightening, all-too-possible scenario.
Every bit what we hoped it would be and more following NY Times bestseller Guardian Of Lies Steve Martini gives us another explosive thriller featuring California lawyer Paul Madriani. Now, how an attorney manages to get himself, family, and friends into such deadly situations is another story, but here he is fighting for his life on every page of THE RULE OF NINE.
No one wants to make an enemy of Liquida Muerte aka "the Mexicutioner," a hired assassin who takes great pleasure in dispatching his victims as painfully as possible. But Madriani once infuriated him and Liquida never forgets. He not only wants to get Madriani but also his daughter, Sarah. Liquida first tries to do this by making it look like Madriani had something to do with the murder of a young congressional aide, Jimmie Snyder. Unfortunately, Jimmie had only been on the job for two months when he made his fatal error by trusting a fellow who was "affable, approachable, and interested.....All the man wanted was to see a few of the rooms off-limits to the public." That one apparently small mistake not only cost him his life but also almost destroyed the entire Supreme Court.
A brilliant terrorist whom we know only as Thorn is hellbent on destruction at the heart of America and is using Liquida to help him make his plot a reality. With powerful friends and unlimited funds it's not at all unreasonable to think that Thorn might be successful.
Although still somewhat off-base after helping to stop a nuclear explosion at the Naval base in Coronado, Madriani realizes that law enforcement isn't seeing the full picture or realizing the imminent danger. After hiding Sarah away for her safety he and his associate Herman Diggs along with a beauteous, persistent arms control activist, Jocelyn Cole set out to do some sleuthing of their own.
There's not a dull sentence on any page as a suicide bomber speeds towards its target. Not only has Martini delivered a can't-stop-listenting to thriller but closes with a shocking finish that leaves us on tinder hooks waiting for more.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
The Rule of Nine is a thriller, but is a sequel to the Guardian of Lies.
It is a little to easy to go for a psychopath serial killer. There is no need to make the book rational and its plot is tiresome. The much seen nuclear bomb and terrorists plot, display no need for originality, just meanders and convolutions.
Not a good book and not one of the good courtroom thrillers Martini used to write. Madriani is a lawyer, but he needs not to be, nor a investigator. He only goes with the flow.
A pity-
