    About this audiobook

    The Deepwater Horizon disaster in the Gulf of Mexico washes a cache of doomsday weapons onto a Mexican beach: bombs filled with VX nerve gas mixed with anthrax, invented by the Nazis during World War II and perfected by the United States to use in the Cold War. The bombs soon fall into the wrong hands and create an unstoppable opponent. Only one Chicago Police detective has a chance of preventing those bombs from being used on American soil.



    Reeling from the recent murder of her husband as well as allegations of police misconduct, Detective Superstition "Sue" Davis is thrown into an undercover assignment. She must infiltrate the Mexican narcotics cartel responsible for the death of her husband in order to get close to the cartel's sociopathic enforcer, Jiménez "Jimmy" Garcia.



    But when the entire Garcia family is killed in Mexico by a U.S. Special Forces raid gone wrong, Garcia will stop at nothing to get vengeance, including triggering newly acquired bombs on American soil. Superstition's assignment quickly becomes more dangerous than planned as the threat of a terrorist attack looms closer.

      An extremely entertaining action packed historical thriller dealing with the Mexican mafia drug cartel, their main operation is smuggling drugs across the Mexican-United States border, but they are also attempting too possess these nerve gas containers laced with anthrax. An undercover Chicago vice cop infiltrates this organization, using her knowledge to try too dismantle this operation within and getting her personal justification.

Sue Davis husband gets killed on a border patrol ride along.Sue goes under cover to get the narco who killed her husband. At the same time she must stop this killer from killing millions with his new bomb. Can she succeed?I highly recomend this book to anyone who wants a good story.
    • 5/5
      The Fury by Shane Gericke is a very good thriller. There are three story lines at the start of the book that all get tied together in the end with a very well told story.The heroine of the story is a Chicago vice cop by the name of Superstition Davis. Her husband is a Chicago cop who is killed along the Mexico border during a ride along with the Border Patrol about a possible job. The group that ambushes the Border Patrol is one of the most vicious drug cartels in Mexico.The story starts with a submarine recapping the Deep Water Horizon well that had begun leaking. During the recapping, several tanks from an old ship are freed from their containment and drift away.Sue Davis is working a vice sting as a hooker in Chicago. She lets a potential john go free. While she is in a bar taking a potty break, three men try robbing the bar. She kills all three during a fire fight in the bar saving a number of lives from the robbers who had started shooting when the bouncer pulled a gun trying to end the robbery.There is also a series of flashbacks to the Germany and Japan about nerve gas development in WWII.I don't want to tell how the stories are related, in that would spoil what is a very good plot.All of these story lines become intertwined during the story. The story is very well told. The author does a good job of character development so that you care about the good guys and hate the bad guys. You understand their motives for what they are doing and what led them to their current involvement in the story. It is a hard story to put down.

      Wow! What a ride this story is. If I had known before hand I was going to read a book that included, the Deepwater Horizon accident, drug mules, World War II (Hitler and all his bad henchmen) Nixon, Fast and the Furious (The Debacle not the movie) Chicago, Fargo (the movie and the city), New Mexico, Mexico and so many other places and times I would think that might be one heck of a mess. It's NOT. It's one heck of a story that enjoyed immensely. It's violent, it's messy, it's stark but it's an exciting read. Well done Mr. Gericke.

      I enjoyed the way they brought up Sue's back story little by little throughout the book. I was fine with the story line until Sue got to prison. After that, it was too far fetched to appreciate. I was disappointed after that but happy when they gave it a solid conclusion.

      The Fury is an action-packed, well-constructed thriller. Definitely read this is you like complicated story lines and constant intensity. But if you like complicated characters and a build-up of tension, then you, like me, might find the book a bit one-note. Gericke is excellent at weaving multiple complicated story lines and bringing them together to conclusion. My disappointment with the book lies with the flat characters. I prefer believable characters over pure action, and I'm afraid main character Superstition Davis is a bit shallow for me. Her beloved husband dies early in the book, but her grief is not believable. All of the characters run similarly thin. Again, great action and intertwining of stories. Three stars.

      Entertaining and worth the time...recommended for action/thriller fans.

      If you like action, twists and turns, villains galore, you’ll like The Fury by Shane Gericke. Can a book have too much going on? That’s up to the reader, but there are numerous threads and sub stories to keep the reader on his/her toes. I thought Mr. Gericke did a good in presenting the main character, Detective Superstition “Sue” Davis and her journey to revenge her husband’s death. This is my first read of Shane Gericke and I plan to read his series, Emily Thompson, soon. Overall I thought the book was a good one and well worth a LibraryThing Early Review pick.
    • 3/5
      I see The Fury often described as a "fast-paced, action-packed thriller", and it does deserve that description, likely to entertain most readers who enjoy such.Personally, I found the high-level story construction—weaving together threads from the vicious world of Mexican drug cartels, U.S. border patrol, a massive deepwater oil-rig disaster, Chicago police, federal prison life, and an unexpected cache of super-deadly nerve gas with its own backstory—to fit together rather nicely and make for an interesting landscape on which for the story to maneuver.The page-to-page writing, however, wasn't always as smooth, as some action-descriptions sometimes stumbled over bits of unclarity; the author's frequent use of action similies, mostly quick and amusing, would occasionally fall flat; and many points (mostly in the first half of the book) cried out in desperate need of a good editor, including little things like sudden scene-changes with no vertical separation or an occasional word missing or typoed.Still, overall, it was a fun read, with its moments of humor and satisfaction, and will likely continue to entertain many fans of action-suspense novels.
