About this audiobook
AN AMBITIOUS WIFE.
A THIRST FOR POWER.
A CHANCE TO HAVE IT ALL.
"I never thought I could kill anyone. I don't mean in a rage, or in self-defense, or in a war. I mean killing someone to get what you want. That wasn't me. But even the best of us has that bad side."
How far would you go for unlimited wealth and power?
For Thane Coder, a shot at running one of the richest, most influential corporations in America was an opportunity he couldn't pass up. And with his seductive, savvy wife, Jessica, showing him the way, his fate was decided.
All it took was a back door, a snowy night, and an old hunting knife to unlock more money than Thane could ever imagine.
After he murders his boss, mentor, and friend James King, Thane and Jessica leap into a life of corporate jets and tropical hideaways-a world of infinite luxury and privilege. But when King's son surfaces with suspicion and revenge on his mind, the Coders' empire begins to crumble.
In Kingdom Come, boardrooms become hunting grounds, handshakes become blood oaths, and even the people you hold closest to you-your family-become suspect. Set against the rugged backdrop of his native upstate New York and the gritty streets of Manhattan, this is Tim Green at his best, writing hard-hitting, vivid prose about how a few deadly sins can lead any one of us down a bloody path.

Reviews for Kingdom Come
20 ratings3 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a fast-paced page-turning thriller about a good guy too easily coerced into going bad by a rich wife who can never have enough. I think the author could have accomplished as much had he avoided all the over-drinking and drug use but otherwise it is a tightly constructed story involving corporate characters and finagling you won't have to imagine. You won't like any of the characters, and the author states on amazon.com that he based the story on types of people he knows well and situations that are more true than fiction, but you won't be able to stop reading.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Didn't like the story or the writing.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5In Kingdom Come, Thane Coder is a former athlete who is now working for a construction company. Despite his nice job and sweet salary and hot wife, this is not good enough for Thane. When the president of the company announced he was going to bring the company public and promote his son, Thane began making deals with the union, which was basically a mob run outfit. He murders James King, the president of the company and tries to frame his son Scott for the murder. Meanwhile, he is playing both sides of the fence, cutting deals with the FBI.Kingdom Come is a sordid tale of deceit and betrayal. The plot keeps moving, but is often lacking in realism. All is all, the story had a fast pace and tension. The characters are lacking a bit in substance. It's worth reading for the entertainment value, but not one of the more memorable books I have read.Carl Alves - author of Blood Street
