About this listen

Random House presents the audiobook edition of One False Move by Robert Goddard, read by Fiona Hampton and Alistair Petrie.

What value can be put on a human mind?

How Joe Roberts does what he does is a mystery. He has a brain that seems able to outperform a computer. To a games company like Venstrom that promises big profits if his abilities can be properly exploited. So they send Nicole Nevinson to track him down and make him an offer too good to refuse.

But Venstrom aren’t the only people interested in Joe. His current boss, a shady businessman, is already making serious money out of Joe’s talents and isn’t going to let him go without a fight. And then there are other forces, with still darker intentions, who have their own plans for him.

Almost before she knows it, Nicole’s crossed an invisible line into a world where the game being played has rules she doesn’t understand and where no-one can help her win.

But win she must. Because the battle now isn’t just for Joe’s mind, it’s for Nicole’s life.

My first Robert Goddard disappointment

Having devoured all Robert Goddard's previous books and loved them I was looking forward to his latest, but oh what a disappointment! The story is original but the plotline certainly isn't. Frederick Forsyth in 'The Fox' deals with the same theme (brilliant young computer whiz wanted by nasty, undemocratic foreign government organisations) so much better and with a storyline that is rivetting (and sometimes humerous) whereas this one barely held my interest.

Perhaps different narrators could have improved my perception. Fiona Hampton lacks the vitality her character in the narration requires. She comes across as a naive sixteen-year-old, way out of her depth and with little 'street cred' which I don't think is what her character is supposed to be. Alistair Petrie lifts the interest level but he only narrates a relatively small part of the story.

Sorry Robert Goddard, I couldn't recommend this one, but I will still look forward to your next.
