A web of corruption.

During the run-up to the presidential election, Zak and systems analyst Dreu Sason pick their way through an entangling web of murder, blackmail, and political intrigue that asks of both the government and the media who cover it, "Who can we trust" and "How can we know"?

As I listened, I couldn't help but think of today & all of the political hell that's happening. Very thought-provoking.

Eerily similar to today's world

In regards to the current media bias that seems to be fairly prevalent, this novel kind of struck a chord with me. Although the media is presently leaning in the same direction as my own beliefs, first and foremost the press should be unbiased. Allen Kent's novel, The Wager presents two members of the press who make a wager as to their ability to influence the public. It's fast-paced and well written. And while there is some romance, it is in the background and doesn't distract from the action and adventure. It was especially interesting having the plot being situated around a "problem-solver". I ended up staying up all night just to finish listening.

Being a woman, I tend to scrutinize how female characters are written and I found Kent's characters relatable and well written. I definitely want to hear the rest of the series.

Paul J. McSorley is a great narrator and did an excellent job with this book. I think sometimes that I'm still a child at heart as I dearly love it when a voice actor uses different voices and accents in an audiobook and McSorley does such a good job of that. I really hope he narrates the rest of the series as he is in my top five favorite narrators. The action/adventure/thriller genres are the perfect match for him. P.S. He does a pretty good John Wayne too!

The Wager by Allen Kent is my first introduction to this author and I was not disappointed.
Adam Zak follows the leads, trying to get to the bottom of a string of politicians being blackmailed. Murder, espionage, intrigue and terrorism - each new clue leading to a whole other new mystery. How are they all connected?
The Wager is the 3rd installment in the Unit 1 series, but I had no issues reading as a stand alone.

The death of an agent opens the door to an unbelievable series of events that contain blackmail and hundreds of deaths. Two competing newsmen bet that each can sway voters to their candidate. What starts as an "unfriendly" wager continues into bombs across America and politicians in compromising photos. I was gifted this from the author.

This book is a very well written and believable story that could well happen in the political world of today. It involves those dedicated to solving problems and those who cause the problems. The book is hard to put down and you want to keep listening to see how it plays out.

The narrator is great. He has a great range of voices for the characters and manages to bring out the moments of excitement and danger well.

This book was provided free of charge and this review was voluntarily done.

The writing style Allen Kent presents is a good one which engages the listener into believing the scenario that he’s made come to life could be a real incident. I was engaged through the whole story as it progressed and would say it was a hit. I’m excited for further installments. I also would like to say that Paul McSorley did a wonderful job as the narrator for this story. His deep voice and good pacing makes for a great listening experience. Great job all around!

Good book

Oh where to start, this book has a very complex plot and you will need to pay attention to all the details of this book to follow along with it to figure out who the bad guys really are. The characters are very well developed and this story has a great flow to it. It will keep you glued to your device to continue listening to the story, because you will not want to hit pause. The narrator was very nice to listen to and had a clear, deep voice. For an overall rating I would definitely recommend this author to others and very much enjoyed this book.

On a side-note: I am very aware of the part of Idaho that is featured in this work of fiction. Both Grangeville and the Camas Prairie are beautiful areas filled with wonderful hardworking families. This area is rich in farming, logging along with so many great ways to have outdoor fun.

dangerous!
This book was not as eye opening for me as it should have been because I think we have all become a little lukewarm when it comes to putting our trust in either our politicians or the media. But this book sure breaks wide open what could happen when people take things into their own hands, especially if you involve ones that are not trustworthy. I really enjoyed this book because it allowed me to see how Unit 1 started and even who is running this secret organization. I enjoyed getting to know Drue, Adam, Anita and The voice on the other end of the line. There is a little more swearing than I like especially the use of the Lord's name but I do realize that Mr. Kent is trying to be true to the people speaking.
I received a free code for this book from Audiobooks Unleashed. This review is my own honest opinion.

Who knew placing a wager with a buddy could be so

Allen Kent did an outstanding job with this novel. The multiple layers of society involved in this novel make it an engrossing and exciting experience. The characters are diverse and multi-dimensional to say the least. The story is so possible and yet unique. Listening to this novel has grabbed me so that I will read the first part of the Unit 1 series. The international component to the novel is well done and fast paced,,,an a bit scary. The domestic strife involved is so terrifyingly possible that I couldn't stop once I started the book. Paul J. Mc Sorley did a wonderful job sharing his talent for narrating with emotion and variety. I would recommend this book to anybody who enjoys a thriller.

Realistic and suspenseful
