Summary

Former DC Capitol Police Officer Joe Branch found himself conscripted into service with a new global authority that quickly emerged to save humanity from the brink of extinction following the most significant crisis in human history. Once inside the beast, he became aware that the crisis was the product of the largest, most far-reaching conspiracy in the history of the world. 

Can one man make a difference? Can Joe Branch, an average guy caught up in the middle of it all, walk away from everything he has left to try and right the wrongs perpetrated by his new masters?

A very enjoyable listen!

My first book by this author and I enjoyed it, the pace was great and the characters were likeable.
The story had a new twist which I'd not read before.
I'd certainly read more in the series!

Lovely story!

I really liked this story! It shows how far many people are ready to go to help others, and not just how awful people can be to get more power. Recommended!

Highs and lows of excitement

This book follows the adventures of Joe Branch as he starts his journey from a former police officer in Washington DC to a deserter who travels most of the way across the United States to provide information and samples to the resistance in an effort to overcome the One Word Authority. He is forced to fight his way across the country and is troubled by the sacrifices made by many others who assist him in his journey.

This story is well written and backed fact factual historical data that I found interesting as well. The mental anguish Joe suffers is real and you can almost feel his torment. There is never a chapter when there is not some danger that must be faced and overcome and many times you are sure it will be the end of the line for Joe and his companions.

The narration of Kevin Pierce is outstanding. He does an excellent job of voices for the multiple characters as well as putting emotion into the narration.

This book was provided free of charge and this review was done with enthusiasm also.
