About this listen

The Mad Mick’s new employer, Walter Lightspeed, has promised great things for America. Lightspeed cleared the way for his rise to power by skimming the dead weight off government, assassinating a legion of career politicians, lobbyists, and agency heads. Now only one barrier remains between him and the presidency—wrangling the support of the military.

If he lives that long.

Conor and Ricardo have their concerns about Lightspeed, but that’s not enough to make them surrender their lucrative contract work with him. If Lightspeed can do the things he promises, their small company will be well-positioned in his new administration. In fact, Conor is already making major changes in preparation for it, taking steps back home he thought he'd never take.

But great reward only comes with great risk. As Conor soon finds out, it’s not only Walter Lightspeed and his employees who share in those risks. When you operate at this level, even family becomes fair game.

I really enjoy the mad Mick series. I wish it would of been longer. O but it needs more joking around. I love the dad and daughter going back and fourth with each other. this book was missing that or just more screwing with each other. The ending is o wow what is next!!!!! I give this book a A or a B+ over all.

my favorite Mad Mick adventure so far!

This go round Connor is more serious and all business, regardless of his attire. the addition of a long time hero of mine near the end of the book was a great way to honor his life.

Not even sure what to say...

The Mad Mick series grew on me more and more. It started as a side story and grew into the main course, based on an American EMP. I really grew fond of most of the characters, aside from Barb.
Franklin has turned into a great storyteller because this is no longer a post-apolocyptic series this is what I would consider a good story of private militaries, OGA's and a government that is mimicking our daily.
I hope there is more but this could/would be a good ending point.
Kevin does an amazing job as usual in bringing this to life.
