The Great American Deception

I received a free copy of this audiobook from its narrator TJ Clark in exchange for an honest review. The Great American Deception is a delightfully caffeinated adventure sure to amuse fans of science fiction and private detective stories. The book is very silly and wonderfully entertaining while still managing to be suspenseful and exciting. The book takes place in the Great American- a strange and secure bastion from the dystopian outside world. Detective Frank Harken is hired to find the missing person Winsome Smiles with the help of his new coffee maker. Over the course of the book many quirky and funny characters are introduced as the remarkable world of the Great American reveals itself as the plot unfolds. My favorite character in the book was RJ- imagine an AI who is the complete opposite of Skippy in Craig Alanson's Expeditionary Force series- who had so many funny lines throughout the book. I found Scott Stein's writing to be reminiscent of authors such as John Scalzi, Daniel Handler (Lemony Snicket), and Scott Meyer while still being unique. I found TJ Clark's narration to be reminiscent of Wil Wheaton and Luke Daniels. I throughly enjoyed this book and hope to enjoy sequels in the future!
