À propos de cet audio

Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller!

Michael Mann, four-time-Oscar-nominated writer-director of The Last of the Mohicans, The Insider, Ali, Miami Vice, Collateral, and Heat teams up with Edgar Award–winning author Meg Gardiner to deliver Mann’s first novel, an explosive return to the universe and characters of his classic crime film—with an all-new story unfolding in the years before and after the iconic movie

One day after the end of Heat, Chris Shiherlis (Val Kilmer) is holed up in Koreatown, wounded, half delirious, and desperately trying to escape LA. Hunting him is LAPD detective Vincent Hanna (Al Pacino). Hours earlier, Hanna killed Shiherlis’s brother in arms Neil McCauley (De Niro) in a gunfight under the strobe lights at the foot of an LAX runway. Now Hanna’s determined to capture or kill Shiherlis, the last survivor of McCauley’s crew, before he ghosts out of the city.

In 1988, seven years earlier, McCauley, Shiherlis, and their highline crew are taking scores on the West Coast, the US-Mexican border, and now in Chicago. Driven, daring, they’re pulling in money and living vivid lives. And Chicago homicide detective Vincent Hanna—a man unreconciled with his history—is following his calling, the pursuit of armed and dangerous men into the dark and wild places, hunting an ultraviolent gang of home invaders.

Meanwhile, the fallout from McCauley’s scores and Hanna’s pursuit cause unexpected repercussions in a parallel narrative, driving through the years following Heat.

Heat 2 projects its dimensional and richly drawn men and women into whole new worlds—from the inner sanctums of rival crime syndicates in a South American free-trade zone to transnational criminal enterprises in Southeast Asia. The novel brings you intimately into these lives. In Michael Mann’s Heat universe, they will confront new adversaries in lethal circumstances beyond all boundaries.

Heat 2 is engrossing, moving, and tragic—a masterpiece of crime fiction with the same extraordinary ambitions, scope, and rich characterizations as the epic film.

Nonstop action! Narrator is fantastic!

Taut and exciting throughout. Complex characters and you were never sure who was going to make it. Occasionally characters do miraculously well after being shot but that's kind of expected in this genre. Kudos especially to the narrator who was great throughout but nailed the cadence and voice of the Pacino character Hanna from the movie.

Dang awesome

Great to revisit old characters, and learn a little more. The gruff voice was perfect. The story could have better flow - sometimes felt like a soap opera, sometimes like an action thriller, and the time jumps left a little too much unsaid.

Needs to be put to movie format

A much needed sequel that needs to become a movie. Very detailed, very in-depth and forces multiple storylines that marge in and out to each characters everyday life.

"Drop of a hat, these guys will rock n roll!"

The best review of this book I can offer is this: if you loved Heat, you'll love Heat 2. Delving into this saga is like finding out there was a second half of Mann's 1995 crime epic that you somehow missed out on. The sights and sounds of Los Angeles that were captured so perfectly in Heat come alive again here, and you're immediately immersed in the criminal underworld traveled by Neil McAuley, Chris Shiherlis, and Vincent Hanna in their game of cat and mouse. The cold professionalism that is the signature of both McAuley's crew and Hanna's squad of detectives is described in terse, spartan prose that is almost poetic at times.

The story begins with the immediate aftermath of the bank robbery in Heat, with Shiherlis' frantic attempts to get out of LA after turning the downtown core into a war zone. It jumps back and forth between 1988 and the late 90s/early 2000s, but it's never jarring or confusing, with the various timelines being masterfully woven together to paint a bigger picture of these men and their obsessive pursuits. We're introduced to a psychopathic villain who is the opposite of McAuley: no code, no morals, just a madman seething with anger and a thirst for violence.

This story is painted on an even bigger canvas than Heat was, with a plot that unfolds from Chicago to Los Angeles to Mexico to Paraguay, and finally Singapore. Through it all, you can picture every scene in your mind's eye, being directed by Mann and through the lens of his cinematographer, Dante Spinotti. The cool blues and glittering lights of LA, the grit and heat of a cartel stronghold in Mexico, the bustle and clamour of a massive shopping centre in Paraguay, where rival dynastic Chinese families try to outmuscle each other in a contest of both dollars and blood... This story pulses with electricity and adrenaline as worlds collide and predators and prey find themselves drawn together in a spiral of violence and mayhem.

Mann has said that Heat 2 will be made into a movie, and I cannot wait to see it on the big screen.

Listen to this book NOW!!

If you loved the film Heat, you must listen to this book. It’s so satisfying to return to Mann’s gritty world, and get some additional storylines from before and after the events of the film. The narrator is great, and does a passable Pacino impression, which makes the dialogue a joy to hear. This is one of the most satisfying books I’ve listened to this year, by a landslide.

An excellent sequel to Heat.

I enjoyed the audio book. Great production and a very good story line. Nice how the story traveled through time and brought the characters together.
