Dark Site: A Sam Dryden Novel

Written by Patrick Lee

Narrated by Gary Galone

"Lee's imagination knows no boundaries, which makes the story elements completely unpredictable...Just when it seems clear what's truly going on, another surprise appears." — Associated Press

From Patrick Lee, author of Runner, Sam Dryden comes under attack from unknown forces as an unremembered episode from his past threatens more than just his life.

On an otherwise normal morning, former Special Forces operative Sam Dryden is the target of an unsuccessful attempted abduction. Using his attacker's cellphone, he learns that another person, a woman named Danica Ellis, is also being targeted. Dryden arrives just in time to save Danica from the assault team sent after her. But neither of them recognize the other, or have any idea why they are being targeted. The only clue is a heavily redacted, official-looking document given to Danica by her stepfather before he was killed.

Dryden immediately recognizes it as a "scrub file." A scrub file is a record of what a subject knew before their memories were chemically destroyed. The redacted document refers to witnesses to a secret military site in Ashland, Iowa in 1989. Both Dryden and Danica Ellis lived in Ashland in 1989, when they were both twelve years old, though neither of them has any memory of the other.

Switching back and forth between the present day, when Dryden and Danica try to elude the forces that are after them, and the past in Ashland, Iowa, when both were twelve, making a discovery that forever changed their lives, this latest Sam Dryden audiobook proves yet again that Patrick Lee is one of the most original, compelling thriller writers today.

Reviews for Dark Site

[Douglas A Lamb · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Patrick Lee keeps the action and suspense in full gear while developing the characters into someone you would like to meet someday.

[Owen Gibson · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

The book itself is great but the narration is awful. The guy constantly pronounces "Ashland" like "Disneyland", like it's a theme park. He also can't manage to pronounce Oregon correctly and some of his character voices had me literally laughing out loud with how bad they are. How do idiots like this get hired to read books professionally???

[Sean Bigard · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Though i prefer the first books in the series, this one was quite good on its own.

[John Brathwaite · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

I got lost, too much back and forth from the future
