About this audiobook

When Jake Dent's dreams of baseball glory fell apart in a drunk-driving incident, his marriage did too. He's become an avid Doomsday Prepper, raising his diabetic son, Andy, to be ready for any sudden catastrophe. Andy, now a student at the prestigious Pepperell Academy where Jake works as a custodian, has a secret - he's part of a computer club that redistributes money from the obscenely wealthy to the needy. Usually, their targets don't even realize they've been hacked. But this time, they've stolen from the wrong people: a vicious drug cartel. The cartel infiltrates the Academy, taking Andy and his friends hostage one by one. With his training, and a stockpile of weapons and supplies, Jake the last, best hope these students - including his son - have of getting out alive.

    Jake Dent is a survivalist and is awaiting the day when the world comes crashing down. In the meantime he teaches his son Andy had to survive as he works as the custodian in the same school Andy attends. Although, Andy doesn’t think the same way as his dad, he puts up with it since his father is all he has (his mother left years ago). Meanwhile, Andy and his friends play Robin Hood by hacking into computers and stealing a little money (not to be missed) from their rich parents and give to worthy causes. That is until one in the group decides to steal 200 million dollars from a drug lord. Guess what? He wants his money back and will stop at nothing to get it back.Maybe the plot is a little far-fetched and I’ve seen it similarly before but I enjoyed Daniel Palmer’s previous books and knew I would like this one too. It is well developed, fast-paced and full of enough action to keep me satisfied. There is also a lot of graphic violence and torture. Palmer weaves a good yarn. I enjoyed it.

    Deana Dick's review May 25, 15 · edit5 of 5 starsRead in May, 2015Thank you Netgalley for a copy of Constant Fear. This is a story about Jake who at one time was a great star baseball player,had a wife and a son named Andy. When Jake loses his spot in the big league, and finds out that their son is diabetic, his wife decides it's time to leave. Now left with a son to take care of he gets a job as a custodian at a very prestigious school that his son will be allowed to attend free of charge. Jake may be a little different than most dads. He is a prepper. He has an underground bunker filled with supplies, guns, rifles, and everything else you would need to survive when the world collapses. Jake is very serious about his preparedness and even wakes his son up at 3:00 am for drills . Andy is able to take care of himself in any situation thanks to his dad and his insistence on learning skills that will help him fight off anyone wanting to do harm to him. He is also a very intelligent young man. A group is formed at his school called the "Shire." This group hacks into parents accounts from the school , steals some of their money and gives it to charities. At one meeting the group is very tense and each looks at the other in very accusing tones. Someone in the group has stolen 200 million bitcoins and now it is missing. Someone very powerful and ties to a drug cartel in Mexico have discovered their money is missing. Once Fausto has determined that this small group of kids from a school is responsible for the missing money he plots a way to get revenge and have his money returned. As the story begins to unfold , the author takes you on a journey of terror, betrayal anfd survival at its best. The action is by far the most powerful writing that has been written by an author in a long time. The scene in the tunnels with Fausto and his men are so intense and graphic , that the author has you glued to the pages. He has developed a character so intent on surviving that he will not stop till he has rescued his son and the other kids at any cost. He is like a Rambo fighting with every ounce of strength and survival instincts. " Be the aggressor . Attack and don't ever let up. Fear is in the mind ." Jake remembers these words as he battles for his life for the safety of the group called "Shire."As a reader, I have never read a book so powerful with characters that jump off the page and grab your attention. " The ending is a nonstop , heart pumping roller coaster ride that Is so shocking you will never see it coming. Each book from this author gets increasingly better. Well done Daniel Palmer. I know your dad would be proud of you.

    A special thank you to Kensington for an ARC of the first chapter in exchange for an honest review. No one can pull out all the stops like Daniel Palmer, one of my top all- time favorite suspense authors, having read all his books, and anxiously awaiting his next adrenaline rush thriller. In Palmer's upcoming latest, CONSTANT FEAR, he turns up the complexity, suspense and intensity, with father and son team, fighting against a terrifying enemy.My Reviews2011-Delirious 2012-Helpless 2013-Stolen 2014-Desperate From 2011 to 2015 CONSTANT FEAR, Palmer is in a class of his own, and find myself constantly trying to compare other authors to him; however, "not going to happen"; no one can compare or live up to his brilliantly crafted complex plots.Since I only have access to the first chapter, (a tantalizing teaser), am dying to attain an ARC of the book in its entirety (hopefully a few more days—the suspense is killing me). I am rating it a 5 Stars from the first chapter, as he had me at "Death doesn’t schedule an appointment. It may show up at any hour, on any day, uninvited, unwelcomed.”In Massachusetts, Jake Dent and his teenage son, Andy are hiding out, trying to stay alive in a double-wide trailer which they now call home. Everything they need to survive is stored and Jake’s ultimate goal is to protect his son, Andy, a diabetic, and geek at Pepperell Academy. While Andy is a computer code maestro, Jake’s knowledge is limited to email, Google, and MS Word. Andy is part of a computer club that redistributes money from the obscenely wealthy to the needy. But this time, their hacking targets the wrong people – a vicious drug cartel wanting revenge and their money.Nearly all the buildings of Pepperell Academy are connected by a series of tunnels, dating back a century. As a grounds manager and custodian, Jake has access to the secret passages—making it a perfect bug-out location (BOL).Soon the killing will begin, and the cartel will infiltrate the Academy –will their training and weapons keep them alive against the violence of their brutal and terrifying enemy? Will they be able to outsmart them? More to come with full version.A must read! Even if I read the ARC, it is a given to followup with the audiobook, as hoping for Peter Berkrot, as Palmer and Berkrot are perfectly matched, making for an unstoppable dynamic duo! CONSTANT FEAR, a definite Pre-Order!
