About this listen
Over 2,000 5-star reviews! Called "A Terrifically Entertaining Thriller!" by Publishers Weekly, Book-1 of the Brainrush series was named The Wall Street Journal #1 Bestselling Action/Adventure in their "Guide to Self-Published Big Sellers", while Book 2 held a death grip on the #1 or #2 slots of the Amazon Top-Rated (best reviewed) Mystery/Thrillers list for 10 straight months. This set the stage for the blockbuster release of the final book in the trilogy, which was heralded by Suspense magazine as "part science fiction, part thriller, part suspense, part love story, and part mystery. It's got it all and that's what makes this novel one of the best."
Before he slid into the MRI machine, Jake Bronson was just an ordinary guy with terminal cancer. But when an earthquake hits during the procedure, Jake staggers from the wreckage a profoundly changed man, now endowed with uncanny mental abilities. An ocean away, Luciano Battista wants a piece of Jake's talent. Posing as a pioneering scientist, the terrorist leader has been conducting cerebral-implant experiments in a sinister quest to create a breed of super jihadist agents...and Jake's altered brain may be the key to his success. But Jake refuses to play the pawn in an unholy war - and when an innocent woman and autistic child are taken hostage to force his cooperation, he embarks on a jihad of his own.
Jake and his band of loyal friends are thrust into a deadly chase that leads from the canals of Venice through Monte Carlo and finally to an ancient cavern in the Hindu Kush mountains of Afghanistan - where Jake discovers that his newfound talents carry a hidden price that threatens the entire human race.
The wild ride continues from the beaches of California to a raging underground river in Mexico, the rain forests of Venezuela, the Mediterranean coast, the Swiss Alps, and finally to a secret southeast Asia island, where Jake must lever every scrap of his failing brain to prevent an apocalyptic disaster.

Great story!
R.C Bray does a sterling job. Again. But he does a terrible woman’s voice. I’m in awe of people who write such brilliant stories. The imagination required is immense!

Was kind of boring
The alien aspect doesn't get explored. The super powers don't really do much. Just a trope filled action book repeating the same scenario over and over. Boring.

The master of the simile (unfortunately)
These books (I've finished 2 books in this trilogy) are an OK read. Bard's writing style is maturing as the books progress I'm happy to admit. A good overall story with room to grow over many books. I was initially constantly distracted by the endless similes but, after accepting that this is how he described EVERYTHING, I managed to press on. I'm warming to his style and enjoying the books. Just started book 3 and can't wait to get into it.
R C Bray has never let me down. Manages a plethora of voices so well. His accents are pretty good and not cheesy. I find myself searching for books that he has narrated. Still a great narrator, if not the best. He makes even an ordinary story a fun read.

One incredible series
This is espionage and supernatural senses incorporated in to a story, which is both feasible and current in today’s world political climate.
Each book in the series is a development on the last, but a seperate storyline as well. I enjoyed the audiobook of this series and found the rendition enhancing the experience of the story.

Loved it
Lots of adventure keeps you entertained and to me that’s what I’m looking for in my books. As usual Mr Bray is awesome in narration, he does need to improve his Aussie accent.

It never gets boring
The Brainrush Trilogy is predictably American, but I loved it. It is a very fun series to listen to and the author has made the characters and relationships within those character believable and he draws you into their particular debacle. It is an "on the edge or your seat" story that had been narrated beautifully. I like the science fiction and geeky elements.
Well done Mr Bard!
I will download Brainchild next

Very Repetitive
I think this could have been an excellent book if it had been just 1 book. I found myself listening more to finish than to find out how it ended.

Paper Mache
Would you try another book written by Richard Bard or narrated by R.C. Bray?
A cartoonish 'bad guy' cutting his nails with a 9 inch hunting knife should have stopped me earlier, but incredibly I read on until this 'little gem' stopped me cold.
"Flesh and bone spread in a circle around the pair like the splatter of a Jackson Pollock painting."
I've read better plots off my 4 year old daughters paper mache bowls and, if the artistic simile had not already turned me green, the nauseating right wing undertow would probably have finished me off.
In an age when you can't carry anything more dangerous than nail clippers through an airport, it's a shame writers like Mr Bard don't have to check their ideology at the gate.
Straight onto my No-Fly list.
What will your next listen be?
I'll listen to better book reviews...
How did the narrator detract from the book?
I have heard RC Bray perform with better material.
He's clearly not the problem here.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Amazement.
There are people who enjoy recycled cliches.
Any additional comments?
With writers so eager to sell books laced with islamic stereotypes, is there any hope we'll find the human intersection between these clashing cultures in time to save the next generation from repeating our mistakes?
