Night Talk: A Novel

by George Noory

A late-night talk-show host fascinated by the paranormal becomes entangled in a deadly conspiracy in Night Talk, from #1 all-night radio host George Noory.Greg Nowell is a voice in the darkness--a late-night talk-show host who tackles controversial subjects, from angels to aliens and government agencies so deep in shadow that the puppet strings they use to exercise control are invisible. His radio show is a world of the paranormal and paranoia, where claims of alien abductions, Big Foot sightings, and a mysterious world government are the norm. Greg's world explodes when government agents accuse him of having received ultra-secret files from Ethan Shaw, a hacker intent on exposing a secret cabal with tentacles throughout the government. Greg knows nothing about the files. When Shaw is killed and the evidence points to Greg, the radio personality goes on the run, stalked by a demented assassin. As he tries to unravel the deadly secrets the hacker uncovered, Greg is helped by Alyssa Neal, a mysterious woman who says Shaw also dragged her into the boiling cauldron of intrigue.Greg realizes his paranoia is really "heightened awareness" of strange machinations. He seeks help from callers to his show who don't trust the government, have gone "under the radar," or are angry and paranoid about the vast gathering of information and invasions of privacy by government agencies.At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

MY THOUGHTS

There are voices in the dark. A radio show that features the darkness of paranoia and paranormal. All the stories of sightings of aliens, being abducted, Big Foot and others. The author puts you on the edge of that darkness and as you turn the pages, that edge becomes smaller and smaller. Will you the reader enter that darkness? Oh yes, but not the paranormal, more the paranoia level. As you turn a page, Greg Nowell, the voice of the radio show, becomes center of attention when the government is accusing him of being in receipt of secret files. Not only secret, but ultra secret.

The author has you on the edge, the edge of darkness, a ride that goes up and down so fast you don't think it will stop. Mr. Noory makes you think of the possibility of a world where everything you do is recorded. You don't have a life of your own. It belongs to the government. Maybe, this could happen. No, think about it, as the author asks you to do. Is it the world we are in? The author may put the thought in your mind if it's not already there. It will make your heart beat fast, your thoughts run wild and the possibility of that darkness creeping in.

The author puts a thought in your mind, he makes you look around the room, but don't let that stop you. Read on!

I like the way t he author gives a good, fun read, but still it has a darkness lurking between the pages. It's quite a journey into theories of those dark events that have taken place and are still taking place. As you read you might consider, conspiracies or truths. That darkness may be creeping up on YOU!

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author, George Noory and Night Owl Reviews in exchange for my unbiased and honest review.

This book was quite an enjoyable read by my favorite talk show host. There are a number of themes explored here, such as cyber security, and the surveilance state, hackers and whistle blowers, a secret corporate/government cabal that threatens us all, but, mostly, a cat and mouse chase of the protaganist Greg ( the radio talk show host), and his computer hacker/personal companion Ali, almost from the beginning. The suspense builds from begining to end, and the reader is introduced to a number of characters, some threatening, and some help full, but also a number of the most interesting historical locations in the LA area, and some of its history, as well.

An interesting read about a night talk radio host who is hounded by a mysterious government agency after a hacker supposedly send him some secret software program. The story was pretty good and the action was there. Some bits and pieces were a stretch but I was O.K. with that. There were several parts where the author just seemed to dwell upon one item or another a bit long before moving along. For a decent read if you like the premise give it a shot.

George Noory weaves a great story about a character similar to himself. Short chapters keeps the pace of the story moving quickly. This is a suspenseful mystery/thriller with a twist around every corner.

[Adam Boudreau · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was a fantastic ride through the world of conspiracy theory. George Noory who host the excellent radio program Coast to Coast, did a great job taking bits and pieces of known conspiracy theories and historical events heard on his show and creating a tale about how a fictional version of himself could get wrapped up in them. It's not hard to believe that the government monitors Mr. Noory's program to make sure no secrets get reviled to the public but instead of the events that transpire in this novel, it would be much easier for the government to play it off as crazy talk.
The book was an easy read and at 290 pages it was also a quick read.

Overall:
- Gripping story, fast paced, educational and wild.
- Did the NRO do 9/11? After this I could be convinced lol.
- Could've lived without the inclusion of aliens, it ruins the ambiance.
- Are the Aarons a play on Anonymous? Clever.
Favorite/Least Favorite Characters:
- My favorite is Greg b/c he's a great main character and narrator. You always get to know how he feels.
- Least favorite is probably Ali, why she went through all that trouble I'll never understand.

Powerful!

It provides answers to much that no longer makes sense in this increasingly crazy and mixed-up world we currently live in. If just 1% of this turns out to be true it paints a very dark future for each and every one of us.

Too technical. Started to lose interest.

Interesting

I was captured from first chapter. I listen to Mr Noory every night, book as interesting as his radio program!

[Robyn Brown · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not the best writing which is ok, but the subject matter is very interesting as is the perspective on kids raised on technology and the disconnect from humanity that is occurring~
