About this audiobook

A conspiracy of fear drives twin sisters in their fight to save the world in a pulse-pounding science fiction adventure by the authors of Exiles.

Nothing in life is to be feared: it is only to be understood.

The Golden State is at war. The Conservators are winning. With an insidious nano reform, they’ve cleaned out cities and upended thousands of Unfortunate lives by controlling a single emotion: inescapable fear.

Billionaire CEO Damon Yates, the only one with the potential clues to stop the threat, has disappeared. Twin sisters Jade and Crys—along with their dedicated crew of Exiles—have fled Los Angeles for a remote Texas hideout and are leading the formidable mission to find him.

Stripped of their life-altering nanobots, however, the sisters struggle to join sides. Jade’s useful fearlessness is gone. And while Crys is happily no longer terrified of her own reflection—or her sister—she still hasn’t found her place outside her old Fortunate life. Divided again, the sisters go their separate ways in search of answers. Now, Crys must learn how to wield fear itself, while Jade desperately seeks to regain her own elusive courage.

But soon the sisters begin to realize they’ll need each other more than ever in order to succeed, because the Conservators’ endgame is more sinister than anyone imagined. They’re not just subjugating the vulnerable; they plan to reshape the world.

A nonstop sci-fi adventure about dreams, disillusionment, and finding salvation in family, Intruders will have you racing through its pages to read the pulse-pounding conclusion to the Exiles series.

    The Intruders, by Stephen Coonts (read 19 Oct 2016) I read Coonts' book Flight of the Intruder on 7 Oct 2106 and at the end of that book there were two unanswered question: Would Jake Grafton stay in the Navy? and What of his romance with Callie? This book is the direct sequel to the prior book and in it Grafton is struggling with those questions. It si 1973 and the Vietnam war is over but Grafton is on another carrier and flying with a Marine bombardier and he keeps having fierce spine-tingling problems--none, of course, his fault--and he performs brilliantly . There is lots of technical talk, no doubt of great interest to pilots, and the culminating adventure is the most strenuous (and incredible) yet though we know he will survive. The questions are answered and while there are more books by Coonts about Jake I do not see any need to read them.

    Exciting tactical treatment of post Vietnam aircraft carrier operations. Our hero, Lt Jake Grafton, goes on a cruise, worries about his girlfriend, fights pirates and the Soviets while cementing his relationship with a Marine snake-eating bombardier-navigator. Full of Navy jargon, each word well explained. The book is an exciting listen from beginning to end.

    Those familiar with the previous (or indeed latter) Jake Grafton escapades will know what to expect. Intense detail around the military hardware and processes aid the delivery of a traditional action-adventure yarn at sea. In less deft hands such minutiae may disengage the reader from the story however Coonts blends it with ease and produces a technically proficient scenario, utilising the hardware to create compelling danger. Grafton, the rebellious and talented pilot is fascinating and The Intruders follows his romantic path too, fleshing out his character further. Coonts also introduces a buddy-movie approach to add levity to the danger at sea and this ensures Intruders remains an enjoyable romp from cover to cover. At times, as with many books within the genre, it stretches belief although remains entertaining.

    I’m a little torn with this one. I was expecting (hoping for) a lot more flying adventure in the story but on the other hand, Coonts has given us a much deeper look at the character in this novel. He goes into greater detail of the everyday workings of an aircraft carrier which will be helpful for the average reader.Overall, it is a good story but not a great story. I think the problem is that I have become so used to the ‘can’t put it down’ feeling while reading his books, that this one was a little too tame. Having said that, if this had been my first Coonts book, I’d be compelled to pick up another one and no doubt would have been surprised at the faster pace.For the Stephen Coonts fans like myself, I have no problem recommending The Intruders, as long as you are looking for more in-depth character development and less shoot ‘em up – bang bang.

    For those who are fans of Jake Grafton this is an excellent book to add to your collection. We find Jake shortly after the Vietnam War ended courting his one true love and struggling, during a cruise aboard an aircraft carrier, with a decision on whether to stay in the Navy or not. I learned a lot about the operations on a carrier during peace time and the cycles that the personnel on board go through. I think it is interesting for the technical aspects that Coonts brings into the book. There are a lot of dangers aboard and aircraft carrier and one gets a glimpse of most of them as you read the narrative.I think that Coonts is giving us a glimpse of Grafton's life before the adventurers that we have followed him through. This book gives us a understanding of the make up of the man that we have been following in the series starting with Flight of the Intruder. It gives the reader an insight into the making of an American hero. A very good read.

    The Intruders was a very enjoyable read. This book took an unexpected direction in the life of pilots on a carrier and the internal and external struggles that Jake Grafton faces after the Vietnam War. The book moves very smoothly with action through the book and I did not want to put it down. I recommend this book but I would read Flight of the Intruder first.

    Another Jake Grafton novel, but not one of the goofy thrillers. Sort of a sequel to Flight of the Intruder.
