About this listen

In the wake of nuclear terrorism, a squad of elite soldiers must combat artificial intelligence and seek justice in this military political thriller, a sequel to The Red.

Lieutenant James Shelley and his squad of US Army soldiers were on a quest for justice when they carried out the unauthorized mission known as First Light. They returned home to America to face a court-martial, determined to expose the corruption in the chain of command that compelled their actions. But in a country still reeling from the nuclear terrorism of Coma Day, the courtroom is just one battlefield of many.

A new cycle of violence ignites when rumors of the elusive, rogue AI known as the Red go public - and Shelley is, once again, pulled into the fray. Challenged by his enemies, driven by ideals, Shelley feels compelled to act. But are the harrowing choices he makes really his own, or are they made for him by the Red? And with millions of lives at stake in a game of nuclear cat and mouse, does the answer even matter?

Really enjoyed reading this sequel and following the story that the author is busily my for her characters, my only negative point is the same as for the first book and that is the narrator sounds like an overexcited teenager at party, the story itself is very good, I felt it was more political and I think the authors beliefs and ideology cane through at times a bit too much but it didn’t detract from the book

Excellent sequel

The narrator is the worst that I have ever had the misfortune to listen to. He does the voice equivalent of badly over acting. Practically every word is stressed and enunciated in an exaggerated way. There is absolutely zero natural speaking and it becomes very tiring to listen to. As much as I like Linda nagatas books I couldn’t go on.

Can’t listen to the awful narrator
