I'm not so much into audio books, but this novel seems like a good espionage thriller with lots of action and many twists and turns of the plot. I wonder how Mark Bronson's life changes after discovering the death ray. Thanks for your review!

I'm not a fan of war and military fiction, so I won't be reading this book, but I liked the fact that Mark is sarcastic, which added some fun to the story. The mention of a certain US President can be controversial, but otherwise it seems like a well-written book. Thank you for the review!

The book seems well-researched with precise details which will be interesting to read. I also enjoy the fact that the main character is sarcastic, that is always a delight. The themes of espionage, romance and power politics are enticing, I'd love to give this a shot.

An intriguing military-fiction book "Death Ray" by Tom King, which follows Mark Bronson, a high-tech engineer who discovers death ray while working in a lab. The premise of the story is very much appealing.

I love a good mystery crime novel and a fast-paced plot! However, I don't care for war stories! I will pass on this one. I have never reviewed an audiobook before. Thanks for the great review!

I enjoy fast paced books in which the storyline moves rapidly but the reader never loses the point of the story. The author did an excellent job in producing a high quality audiobook. However I might skip this novel since I am not a huge fan of war and military book genres. Thanks for your well-written review.
