Story
Lee Cargill is the head of Q5, a secret organization that can send objects a split second back into the past. And while this seems utterly useless, it turns out to be the most powerful capability the world has ever known. Those who control it can transform civilization - or destroy it entirely. When Cargill sends Aaron Blake, his most formidable operative, on an unauthorized mission to destroy Kim Jong-un, all hell breaks loose. As Blake battles for his life, his chances of thwarting the North Korean tyrant plummet. But they're about to get far worse.

Publisher's Summary
A stunningly unique take on time travel. The 27th bestselling Kindle book of 2017—out of almost 6 million titles!
What if you found a way to send something back in time? But not weeks, days, or even minutes back. What if you could only send something back a fraction of a second? Would this be of any use? You wouldn't have nearly enough time to right a wrong, change an event, or win a lottery.
Nathan Wexler is a brilliant physicist who thinks he's found a way to send matter a split second back into the past. But before he can even confirm his findings, he and his wife-to-be, Jenna Morrison, find themselves in a battle for their very lives. Because while time travel to an instant earlier seems useless, Jenna comes to learn that no capability in history has ever been more profound or far-reaching.
Now, as Jenna fights to defeat the powerful forces arrayed against her, nothing less than the fate of humanity hangs in the balance. . .
Split Second is a roller-coaster ride of a thriller, one that will have readers pondering the nature of time, and of reality, long after they've read the last page

Where do I start?
I have 281 sci-fi books in my Audible library, and in my opinion this is just a bad book in every respect. I gave it a 2 only because it had a handful of interesting ideas in it, and because it was mildly entertaining to laugh at some of the bad dialog and the avalanche of cliches. The narration was a cross between a corporate training video, and 1950's B-movie overacting. Frankly, I'm shocked that this book has a 4.1 overall rating. Not good.

I finally found my replacement for Crichton
Looks like I finally found my replacement for the late, great Crichton
Split Second is a book about time travel… but not really. What if you couldn’t go back to the age of the dinosaurs, or even watch your birth. But, you could only go back a fraction of a fraction of a second. Literally less than a blink of an eye. What good would that do? Apparently, two rival corporations and agencies know what, and will kill to find out more.
The narration was done by Kevin Pariseau was excellent. The hard science within this could have been a tongue twister for many narrators and readers alike, and Pariseau cruised through it like a hot knife through butter. Pariseau’s voice was perfect for this, sophisticated and smart. The accents he uses and the different dialects were all really well done and added to the story nicely.
Okay, I took a night to compose myself from this book, it made me feel and think things that books don’t normally do. I’m a fan of the technothriller genre. Ever since I started reading Michael Crichton, I was hooked. He just had a way of writing both scientifically compelling and incredibly thrilling fiction. I’ve found a few authors since then that fit the bill and seem to quench my insatiable thirst for more Crichton (RIP). But, Richards may be my new key.
Split Second was a book that started out with a bang, literally — a murder of a top physicist who was working on a new theory that he had only shown to one person. From there it was an incredible whirlwind of great storytelling and character development.
Character-wise, Aaron Blake needs to be seen again, I’m not sure if Richards even writes with certain characters in mind, but Blake was amazing. He was absolutely everything you would want out of a protagonist: smart, cunning, incredibly good at getting out of bad situations–what more could you ask for? Seriously, Aaron Blake needs another novel!
Jenna Morrison’s character was really interesting too, she had gone through so much in such a short amount of time that it was really fun to watch her characters developmental arc.
The two main antagonists were also amazing, and one of them turns out not the way you expected them to be. Always wonderful when a book can misdirect you like that without leaving you feeling betrayed.
Overall, the story itself was the main blockbuster here, but the supporting cast makes this an easy 5-star book. Douglas E. Richards has skyrocket to the top of my authors list and I will be voraciously reading his other books now.

I felt like I being lectured to
What would have made Split Second better?
I felt there were several points in the story where I was a student in college, first in a physics class and at the end a philosophy class. Neither was very enjoyable.
What didn’t you like about Kevin Pariseau’s performance?
I didn't feel he had the range that others have.
Any additional comments?
The PI, Aaron Blake, seemed to have no flaws and made his character hard to believe for me.

"No time like the present", Knight said.
Not as much scifi as I expected, but a good thriller nonetheless. The beginning was a bit slow and it took me a while to get into it, but it is well worth sticking with it. There is some pretty good discussion of time and time travel which is interesting in itself aside from its relation to the story.
A brilliant scientist has made a time travel discovery and it is on a thumb drive and in the cloud. Two groups are trying to get this information and the scientist's girlfriend is caught in the middle:she has possession of it and they want it. She goes on the run and enlists the help of a former military man turned PI.
Moves and countermoves, a megalomaniac, possible world domination, time travel and a strong female lead are some of the components of the story. Interesting ending that I did not quite see coming. Listening to this book was time well spent.
Kevin Pariseau gave a fine reading, as usual.

Tedious
A decent idea for a plot that under delivered. Instead of leading the reader through disovery and adventure this was a modicum of uncreative action followed by long unbelievable conversation explaining the entire plot amongst heros and protagonist. reminded me of the old Batman series with Adam West, where the villain would explain in extreme detail his evil plans for no apparent reason .
Science that started good and real quickly turned into made up drivel that conflicted with itself and led the story into unbelievable state.
The narration did appear to get a bit better towards the end but the first half reminded me of a 50s documentary not so much any attempt to truely bring the characters to life.

My favorite Richards book!
Where does Split Second rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This is a good one D. Richards keeps getting better, I loved the character development and the science part was cool. It starts good but from there gets progressively more and more interesting.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
For certain especially after we are introduced to all the players and learn a little more about there motives.
What about Kevin Pariseau’s performance did you like?
Very good clean and not distracting the way I like it.
Any additional comments?
This is not a old school time travel for example going back in time to spend some time with King Arthur (if he did in fact exist) or to stop the assassination of JFK but rather as the description says what if the farthest we could possibly go back is less than half a second. What could possibly be done in such a short amount of time (or space) if anything? If that even somewhat interest you then you should read this book, I will not spoil anything for you but the author has some cool ideas.

Like a Scooby Doo episode, immature writing
I have returned the book after only several hours, Amazing idea but horrible execution and lousy narration. The writing, dialogue and characters are so poorly written. The book sounds like an episode of Scooby Doo. the main character even says "I really made a blunder of everything, didn't I?". seriously?!?! like I said,...Scooby Doo.

Made it five minutes
Stopped listening after 5 minutes. Deadpan, uninterested narrator coupled with SO much exposition (please stop telling me what happened in the past, your characters are sitting in a non-descript room and should be talking to each other).
Maybe it gets better, maybe it doesn't. I couldn't listen to that narrator and wait to see if the story got better, though. Interesting concept.

Check your disbelief at the door; popcorn fun
Would you listen to Split Second again? Why?
Probably not. It was a good story but not the variety that demands another listen.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
As others have stated, this is not really a time travel story. It's more focused on the implications of a machine that could make things or people go back a half second in time, and the author did a good job of coming up with some radical implications.
Have you listened to any of Kevin Pariseau’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I haven't.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No. It was and easy and fun listen.
Any additional comments?
Many elements of this story might cause readers to roll their eyes. The "science" is fluffy and the writer makes full use of his poetic license. The characters are fairly stereotypical, but likable. The military stuff...well, not one hundred percent accurate, either. Despite all this, I enjoyed the story. It's got an intriguing premise, and moves forward at a good pace. It's light fare that is meant to be enjoyed, not dissected.

nice story but shallow characters
I chose this as an audio book for my drive to work. For this, it is nice easy listening. The story was quite reasonable but the characters were awkwardly shallow. A good choice for adults with basic reading skills or adults who want a very simple book to occupy them while doing other activities.

A bit violent. I don't usually like violent novels but it gives it a serious feel as a result.

I wanted to like it
I’m still trying, but in the edge of swapping it out.
Why?
Narrator sounds like a newsreader. Worsts one I’ve heard for ages. Just reading.
Story really annoyed me when I was lectured to for half an hour on the mindset of American soldiers in the Middle East. I mean- if you can’t stand the heat stay the hell out of the kitchen. Holier than thou- can’t stand that American supremacist bull crap. I’m Australian - give me a break.
Main characters - woman has been traumatised yet is just cool as a cucumber.
The language is so unlikely.
PI is cardboard - but the main problem is the narrator giving staccato, non expressive reading. It’s eloquent but that’s all.
- I’ll give it 10 more minutes just to see if FINALLY we find out what the entire story is about.
Ugh.
