If Nobody Listens Part One

I found this book very exciting
Pacing was great and I couldn’t wIt to fin.d out what happened
It gets 5 stars from me

If Nobody Listens is a interesting book. I enjoyed reading this book and it flowed well. I had to finish it.

It was a good read with excellently developed characters and a story line that sucks you in. I really enjoyed this and part two.

I read parts 1 and 2 in a row and certainly feel that that was the right thing to do. Part 1 was somewhat overwhelming to start with because it was laying a complicated set of scenes - Norway, Ukraine, USA and England with associated groups of characters..Once you get your head round these characters it's fine, complicated but fine. Essentially it's a thriller based around a company gathering data and knowledge about bacterial infections and helping others to develop cures but there's a dark side unbeknownst to the main characters Tom and Vasili - the IT geeks if you like. What they find, how they find it, how they all become involved in organised crime, repercussions, murders, wheeler dealing - the book has the lot. Tense, well written and well developed characters. Part 2 gets its own review! Thanks to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for an advance copy in exchange for my honest review.

Paul Bild sits in a bar, alone. He is a "dying man". A woman approaches him who tells him she knows what is best for him and his company, AnyBio Analytics.

Meanwhile, Jeffrey Hughes in Tampa, has a daughter, Christina, who is 11, and needs a heart transplant. At a net worth of 80 million dollars, Jeffery is still not able to get a successful donor for Christina.

Next, we arrive at the AnyBio Laboratories branch that exists in the Ukraine. Youlia and Vasili work here but are in constant contact with the main office in Oslo, Norway. Oslo is where the owner, Paul Bild, and his genius programmer, Tom, work unless needed out of town. Tom and Vasili have been friends (since their pre-teens) on the internet.

Tom is sent to the Ukraine to work with Yulia and Vasili.

And this is where it all begins...

A great story! I have not yet read the second book, yet but certainly I am looking forward to it!

Many Thanks to BooksGoSocial and NetGalley for a very good read!

An amazing read. I Could not put it down. Really draws you in and keeps you hooked from start to finish. Looking forward to more from this amazing author!! Highly recommended book.

Paul Bild has decided to make his life’s work fighting against multi-resistant bacteria. He offers a very rich man a chance to save his sick daughter. He and his partner Tom Avila get to become an international company. On Tom’s arrival to his office in the Ukraine, he finds Yulia has left a note saying she would be back in a week. Tom laters that Yulia has disappeared. Tom and Vasili discover that that they can only trust each other and no one else. What they discover is a shock to them. What do they discover? What will Tom and Vasili do? Will they survive?

The novel is an excellent mystery. At first I was wondering what was so mysterious about Yulia’s travels. Why were the two men supposedly police interested in Yulia’s computer? There were a few twists and turns that surprised me. The ending was unexpected for me.

I received a complimentary copy of If Nobody Listens Part One from NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
Twisted... What a unique novel! I haven't read anything with such crazy hidden character agendas in a while. This novel included hackers, street urchins, top level medical professionals, medical research scientists, and covert operatives involved in well paced drama. What was not to like?
Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC.

good book. You start out thinking it's aboSuch a ut a computer company trying to get started and come away with a whole different story. I don't want to say to much in spoil it, but I highly recommend this book. Especially, if you like suspense. This is a slow burn that will have you on fire by the end! Can't wait to read Part 2. Thanks for the book Netgalley!

If nobody listens:part one by Rikard Sommer.
Paul Bild has dedicated his life to the fight against multi-resistant bacteria.

When he offers millionaire Jeffrey Hughes a chance to save his sick daughter, he and his partner Tom Avild are about to get their international breakthrough.

Tom travels to their branch office in Ukraine.

On arrival, he finds that Yulia Kuznetsova has gone missing.

Tom and Vasili Romanov are thrown into a world where no one can be trusted.
A great read with some great characters. Cant wait for the next book. 4*.

I was intrigued by the idea of a thriller that has the fight against multi-resistant bacteria as a cornerstone of the novel. I expected certain things (e.g. someone trying to make a strain of bacteria that conventional drugs can not combat) to be part of the story. And, it is.

However, I wasn't expecting the other storyline showing where Paul Bild was really financing his fledgling company. And that is why Yulia Kuznetsova, manager of the Ukrainian branch office, goes missing.

Overall, a compelling narrative with the occasional stilted English.

Grateful for the chance to read this novel and it's sequel thanks to NetGalley. Because when Part One ends, you want to read the next book.

I enjoyed the combination of science and technology in this book. The main characters were interesting, and they all seem to have some secret or other. I also liked how several different storylines were woven together. The changes in location kept the story exciting.

This was an interesting read - not quite what I expected, but interesting nonetheless. I will warn you - you get the story from a lot of POVs, sometimes you only hear from those characters once (hence 4 instead of 5 stars, it got to be a little confusing after a while). While I appreciate getting to see so many facets of the story, I think narrowing it down to a key character or two would've worked out better. The plot is interesting, and moves along fairly quickly. Overall, a decent thriller, and I'm looking forward to part two!
