Summary
Sami Macbeth is not a master criminal. He's not even a minor one. He's not a jewel thief. He's not a safe-cracker. He's not an expert in explosives. Sami plays guitar and wants to be a rock god but keeps getting side-tracked by unforeseen circumstances.
Fifty-four hours ago Sami was released from prison. Thirty-six hours ago he slept with the woman of his dreams at the Savoy. An hour ago his train blew up. Now he's carrying a rucksack through London's West End and has turned himself into the most-wanted terrorist in the country.
Fast, funny, hip, and violent, Bombproof is a nonstop adventure full of unforgettable characters and a heartwarming hero - Sami Macbeth - a man with the uncanny ability to turn a desperate situation into a hopeless one.

A huge disappointment
I was so excited to see a new Michael Robotham book read by Sean Barrett since this has always been a perfect combination of plot and performance. 'Bombproof' did not provide this pleasure. Certainly, Sean Barrett can squeeze some drama out of the telephone directory but here he was pressed to do much with a badly plotted book with an unbelievable central character. Obviously Rowbotham has a host of fans (myself included) who he needs to supply with books but i would rather wait than read a book obviously written in haste without much care.

Brilliant

I've listened to this twice in three days already
What other book might you compare Bombproof to, and why?
Can't name one but anything pacey with flashes of black humour.

Very well read. Different voices excellent,to the point where the narrator became part of the story.

Made me grin a good few times,and catch my breath.
Any additional comments?
Just a fantastic listen.Fast,occasionally funny,and however unlikely the scenario,believable.

Another great story, well read.
This was my first ‘stand-alone’ story of Michael Robotham and I found it just as exciting and enjoyable as the series featuring Prof Joseph O'Loughlin Retired detective Vincent Ruiz is still in this one, and is a joy as always. Brought to life so well by the amazing narration of Sean Barrett, these books and their central characters have all provided entertainment and emotional ups and downs. I am currently devouring every Michael Robotham story I can find!

bombproof
excellent
Another cracking book. probably the best writer/reader combination you could wish for. This is another fast-paced novel but is made miles better by Michael robotham's turn of phrase and dark/cynical humour. The only bad part is having to finish it as it's such a good read/listen.

Not the best
I’ve loved Michael Robotham’s O’Loughlin books and Sean Barrett’s performances but this title is missing something. Storyline is too far fetched and the characters lack depth. I’m not sure using Ruiz as a spin-off line is going to work. Not sure how much research was done either given the protagonist (who is supposed to be a guitarist in a rock band) claims to have had his “Gibson Fender” stolen.
