Summary
Almost five years ago, America—as everyone knew it—came to an abrupt end in a spectacular coup d'état. It was called the Liberation by those progressives and radicals that screamed for its outcome; the Fall by its victims whose freedoms were trampled. The White House and the Capitol were overrun by anarchists, and the leaders of the once-proud nation were either imprisoned or sent to social quarantine camps.
The president was arrested and eventually died in prison, or so everyone was led to believe. America was rebooted in a new progressive/socialist image, Newmerica. The United States of old was gone, its history erased and rewritten, its icons destroyed. By the time people tried to organize resistance, it was too late. The citizens lost their history, their flag, their traditions, their freedoms, and their leaders. Newmerica is a state of reparations, citizens turning on citizens, where even the churches are targets of social justice.
Five years later, an unlikely group of patriots emerges from the shadows seeking a restoration of their nation. Two secret service agents struggle with their secrets from the night of the Fall. One son of a patriotic college professor struggles with his father’s legacy and the important artifacts that his father managed to preserve. A young man finds himself face-to-face with the lies the Newmerica government has told him and forced to become a fugitive. A covert operative of the new government seeks out the truth about the "traitor-President’s" fate while coming to terms with her own dark past. Twists of fate or destiny bring these people together with the mission of trying to save what is left of the once-United States.
Time is running out as the forces of the government hunt down this group of renegades, hoping to smother, once and for all, any trace of what was America.

Not bad, the performance lets it down
Quite enjoyed the story, the naration is quite good, but it is poorly produced, audio levels change, its clear where parts have been rerecorded and the voice quality goes up and down. I would say the story is brave new world or 1984 level, but sadly there is a lot of truth to it, I'd say it even goes light on some of the distopian aspects.

engaging and well paced
truly nightmarish in places, was well worth the listen. the narration was a little lackluster or faulty in places and the story held few surprises. does what it says on the tin.

Based.
I came here from BattleTech and dang. A very worthwhile story. My only complaints are narrator based. Very solid hypothetical current events, good characters from every angle and a broad range of events all worked into a single timeline. Do recommend.

Nice to get a story on the other side
Almost all entertainment is decided by a few corporations nowadays that you get the same thing over and over again with the same religious message.
it was nice to get a story and not know who the antagonist was immediately based off immutable characteristics.
The narrator is a little rough but by 20 minutes I got used to his style.
Try it out if you want a different story once.

Great story, diminished by the performance
I read the reviews before buying the book and after listening, I have to agree with them. The narration was disappointing and annoying at times, but I still recommend the book.

Impossible to Follow Narrator
Iam returning this book because narration was awful. No differentiation of characters and voice was uneven in tone. Decent story ruined.

Although fiction I can see it unfolding in reality
Loved it. The fiction story seems quite plausible. Human nature repeats itself throughout history. Blue Dawn is worth the read.

Thrilling Novel; Sub-Par performance.
Exciting, entertaining, imaginable. Held back by the narration. Frequent changes in volume, cadence, and tone. As well as mispronunciations. Altogether, still a thorough recommendation.

Fun book, but horrible reader
Enjoying this audiobook was marred by a terrible reader. Mispronounced words and tone/volume drops from normal to difficult to hear because of whispering ruined this read. A simpler change of cadence or timbre would have made the speaker more audible instead of the whispering tone that was used.
