Phantom Echo: A Singularverse Novel
His search for a killer will put him in the crosshairs.
The body of a college student is dumped in an alley far from campus. Is it a case of bad timing, or a drug deal gone wrong?
As the detective assigned to the case, Nathan Miller suspects something more sinister behind it. Convincing his superiors of this won't be easy, though, and following his instincts will require more than just bending the law. He may need to break it.
But when his pursuit leads him to Syria, and then London, he's forced to seek aid from the Phantoms—allies who might be enemies. Will they help the killer he's after, or join him in seeing justice served?
Follow Nathan on an action-packed adventure, perfect to read as a stand-alone or part of the larger Singularverse.

I’ve followed Nathan since his first appearance in Singularity, at which point he’s already the baddest rogue cop around and owning the city! This story brings us to the beginning, to a time when Nate was still very much a working cop and someone who constantly put his life on the line.
I thoroughly enjoyed the plot that kept me guessing and the hilarious interactions between Nate and Tommy, his partner. Underscored with scenes of foreshadowing, hinting at the person Nate will become, this was an enjoyable read.
An edge-of-your-seat cop thriller, PHANTOM ECHO will keep you guessing as to the motivations of its villains - and heroes! Don’t miss out on this prequel to the Singularity universe!

Phantom Echo is a wildly misadvertised action driven bromantic thriller. The near future its set in is 2025, which shouldn’t even count, there’s zero science fiction elements and who the f knows what Singularverse is. Presumably this book is meant to whet one’s appetite for it, but it doesn’t. it’s a mediocre, at best, thriller with some bantering Virginian cops who stumble into a global terror conspiracy. It hops locations to give it an exotic flavor and features a quippy dialogue to make it snappy, but overall, there’s nothing here to elevate it above thoroughly average action vehicle series.
It does read very quickly though, plus almost a fifth of the volume is taken up by the preview of the next book in the series. A series this one certainly doesn’t present as in any way irresistible. It isn’t a terrible read by any means, it’s technically decent, but there just nothing special here. Bland, mindless, lowbrow adventure powered by clichés and testosterone. Nice title, nice cover, underwhelming insides.

Phantom Echo is A Singularverse Novel. Eldon Farrell has written a very good crime thriller which is set in 2025. I do not believe the novel is a Si-Fi book, but, it is a gripping futuristic story. The book opens with the murder of Saimah Latiff, a foreign pre-law student from Syria. One thing that is different in this future is that everyone has a chip implant that can track your movements and has all of your information. This is a complex story with a realistic theme. There is murder and terror and everything builds to an exciting climax in London. This is an outstanding thriller. It is exciting and the characters are realistic. I could hardly put the book down. This was a new author for me, but, I am looking forward to reading another book from Eldon Farrell. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Nathan and his partner, Tommy found a body of syrian girl who's in the country with student visa named Saimah. dr. hoenink won't dare to guess the cause of death until it is fact proven. After asking the victim's roommate, they gather that Saimah went home to Syria for a visit and came back acting different. Her roommate also overheard a frightening phone call between Saimah and her brother. Tommy and Nathan's wife think that Saimah's death is drug-related. Whereas, Nathan thinks there's something else going on.
I enjoyed it so much! As a muslim, I appreciate that the author did not paint us as bad people and understands that a person's horrible choices are theirs alone, not an actual practice in Islam. Other than that, I really love the characters too! Especially Tommy with his humor.
Overall, it's a great book!

There is no phantom about profane and crude language in this book. It is way out in the open and does not add to realism or story intrigue, but definitely detracts. I'll not read any writings from this "author".
