About this listen
When Cash Harris visits his father for the first time after a 15 year estrangement, things don't go anywhere near as planned. By the end of the night, he finds himself embroiled in a plot to destabilise the government, his father has been assassinated, and he discovers a shocking truth that would have fundamentally altered his life 15 years earlier.
However, all of this pales into insignificance when, along with his best friend and ex-fiancee, he fights for his innocence and the chance to save a world they didn't even know needed saving. They uncover the truth that has been alluding mankind from its very inception. Life, the universe - everything... nothing is as it really seems.

Story
America is under attack. Thousands lie dead after simultaneous strikes across the country. The day will come to be known as Bloody Monday. Jason Trapp, codename ‘Hangman’, was a covert operative whose feats became the stuff of legend. He was the tip of the spear—the man his country unleashed when all hope was lost. Six months ago, someone sold him out. The Agency listed him as killed in action. He lost everything—and everyone—he held dear. But Trapp’s not that easy to kill.

There are some odd things about Nate’s new apartment. Of course, he has other things on his mind. He hates his job. He has no money in the bank. No girlfriend. No plans for the future. So while his new home isn’t perfect, it’s livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don’t nag at him too much. At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela’s apartment. And Tim’s. And Veek’s.

On November 22, 1963, three shots rang out in Dallas, President Kennedy died, and the world changed. What if you could change it back? In this brilliantly conceived tour de force, Stephen King - who has absorbed the social, political, and popular culture of his generation more imaginatively and thoroughly than any other writer - takes listeners on an incredible journey into the past and the possibility of altering it.

I didn't see that coming!!!!
Would you consider the audio edition of The God Complex: A Thriller to be better than the print version?
The audio version of this book is well narrated.
What other book might you compare The God Complex: A Thriller to and why?
I have 4 other books from the same author. Each one is held my attention until the very end.
Have you listened to any of Adam Verner’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I've never heard of this particular narrator before.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Building a new home.......
Any additional comments?
I was so glad Audible picked up this author. I hope they will make more of his books available.

Excellent Story, but Rushed Ending
Where does The God Complex: A Thriller rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I would say it is the top third. It had interesting plots and subplots. Everyone has their own agendas, and some will do anything to make them a reality. I liked being able to learn about everyone's point of view and see how everyone's plans and searches brought them together into one conclusive ending. However, the very end seemed a little rushed and not as well thought out as the rest of the book.
Who was your favorite character and why?
I really enjoyed the character of Riggs. We don't learn very much about him, and he is stoically silent the majority of the book. However, he is exceedingly loyal and will ruthlessly defend those he cares about. He is extremely intelligent as well, although we have few opportunities to see that in him.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
There were a couple of moments that moved me, especially considering how tragically the book begins. You learn more throughout the book about just how tragic everything was due to a tiny misunderstanding that affected everybody's lives.

Good sci fi but bad thriller
The overarching alien concept in the story is new and refreshing, and gives a new perspective to most things we assume in life.
But the screenplay is unexciting. The protagonists have it way too easy, are unusually lucky and seem to have supernormal power that borders on a kids fantasy story. A few disappointments thrown in for the lead characters would have made the story a lot more realistic
Narration was top notch. Full marks for that

Tricky!
Where does The God Complex: A Thriller rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Not in the top 10, but maybe the top 25. A tricky, rather interesting and compelling offering, that has several unanticipated plot twists and turns.
Would you recommend The God Complex: A Thriller to your friends? Why or why not?
Certainly to other audio book fans.
What does Adam Verner bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Definitely one of the better performances of the years. Brought the characters to life, and owned the story
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Not really extreme, but certainly kept my interest, and I did have some chuckles and eyebrow raises.
Any additional comments?
This book definitely sneaks up on the listener, and comes with enough wrinkles and twists to keep the story fresh and engaging. Recommended highly

Thought provoking !
The story premise of this book was as intriguing as any I have ever come across. Absolutely brilliant. However, the "twists" and "turns" were far too convenient and it was hard to really make a connection with the "good guys", I was actually hoping they would fail in the end!
The narrative was very good, however Antwon sounded like Mr. Burns from the Simpsons (which was funny) and Kyle sounded like Mrs. Doubtfire (horribly annoying).
