When Agent Joshua Stone is called to a high-level meeting at the Department of Homeland Security, he learns about a new global order which will be transitioning into power. Stone is read in on the plan for a single planetary government and a world-wide cashless-currency, which will step in to fill the void left by the failing monetary system. To win wide acceptance by the nations of the world, the old system must first be allowed to fail, bringing about a state of global chaos never before seen by mankind.

Resident Eddie Parks’s contribution: an “echo box” that can re-create never-recorded sounds using acoustic archeology. All Eddie wants is to hear his late mother’s voice. But what he’s created is inadvertently posing a threat to national security. To Harmony House’s shadowy government backers and radical extremists, the echo box is the ultimate intelligence asset - an end to the very concept of secrecy.

Worst book ever
What disappointed you about The State of the Union?
I have been an Aubible book subscriber for over 10 years and I have never purchased a book so poorly written and manufactured to push a religious right wing agenda as this one. I wish you had a negative star rating system. I normally would have stopped listing after 10 minutes but I have endured all 18 hours so I could write a review. I will never get those 18 hours back.
What could Jessie O. Roland have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Never write again!
How could the performance have been better?
Jeff Raynor did a fine job reading. My suggestion is find better material to read
What character would you cut from The State of the Union?
All of them
Any additional comments?
I will be sure never to read a Jessie O. Roland book again.
