Publisher's summary

Civil forfeiture: the government's ability to seize, keep, and sell any property of any person they believe is involved in a crime...even if that person is innocent. All it takes is for an officer of the law to "think" the items were obtained through criminal means. The person is presumed guilty and must prove innocence to get back what was taken and the government doesn't have to provide legal counsel. What if this law is just another way for the US government to supplement their income while destroying every innocent person they deem a threat? What would you do, and how far would you go to protect yourself and your family?

Joshua Anderson is the owner of a small logging business in rural Idaho, with over a million dollars in assets, and when the Forestry Service begins making bogus accusations, Joshua knows that it is only a matter of time before his country takes everything from him, including his life. But the government has no idea that Joshua will never back down setting off the Bonner Incident. It is time to take a stand, and the only question left: whose side are you on?

Thomas Watson finishes the story started with his good friend Michael Rider after he passed from an accident.

A Refreshing Storyline

I wasn't sure what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised. Without giving away the story, it was a good vs evil story that was hard to stop! Can't wait for the next book!
Condolences to the friends and families of the original author and a thank you to the one who completed this story!

Really makes you think

I didn’t think I could read a post-apocalyptic book that had a new theme, but I was wrong. Not only is the premise unique, but it is really scary to think about. Other than it freaking me out, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The characters are well described, and I was able to get a good feel for who they are as people. I can’t wait to see what Joshua does and what happens next!

Eric A. Shelman is an excellent narrator. He shows great control over pacing and tone. Dialogue and narration switches are seamless, and I enjoy listening to his voice.

really great read

just like all his books Watson has another great one. he's got the logging terms right and the laws and regulations used are real and could easily be a accurate representation of what the government could do if they wanted.

Great book

What made the experience of listening to Bonner Incident, Volume 1 the most enjoyable?

Full of action, the narration wasn't in a dead-pan voice

Which scene was your favorite?

My favorite scene was when Joshua did the video of the camp explosion and let the government know that messing with his family was a mistake.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

yes

Any additional comments?

This is a great book whether you listen to it or read it yourself.

MAKES YOU THINK

An awesome story by Watson and Rider. In this day and age of live streaming, I can't see getting away with the abuses by the feds. Seems like you can't do anything without somebody catching it on video. BUT... it can definitely give you the shivers thinking "could it REALLY HAPPEN "? loved it!
