About this listen
Penn Mitchell vanishes from the NYU campus and shows up three months later on his mother's doorstep with a book screaming to get out of his head. When the FBI discovers the novel discloses top-secret information, they bring Penn in for questioning.
The interrogation goes sideways and Penn escapes into a subterranean world he thought was a figment of his imagination, a world where the US government is hiding, and at war with, an ancient race that has existed since the dawn of time.

Story
Dr. Tyson Klein is a quantum physicist who has dedicated his entire life to his research. At CERN, he analyses data generated by the Large Hadron Collider, the world's biggest and most powerful particle accelerator. Now, Ty believes he's found a pattern in its output. It looks like an organised data stream, being broadcast over what he calls a quantum radio. Could it be a signal from another universe? A message sent from the future? Or something else entirely?

Story
On a desolate beach in far northern Scotland, the winter storms have been washing up all manner of things since time began. But buried in the centre of one smaller iceberg is a shard of ancient Viking pottery telling a partial tale of a hidden mysterious island beyond the ice and mist, that was home to a great treasure and even greater horrors. Thawing in the same block of ice was a rotting flap of skin that refused to be identified but had similar skin patterns to a creature not seen for 100 million years.

Story
There are some odd things about Nate’s new apartment. Of course, he has other things on his mind. He hates his job. He has no money in the bank. No girlfriend. No plans for the future. So while his new home isn’t perfect, it’s livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don’t nag at him too much. At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela’s apartment. And Tim’s. And Veek’s.

From the Audie-nominated narrator of The Martian. In eleven years' time, a million members of an alien race will arrive at Earth. Years before they enter orbit, their approach will be announced by the flare of a thousand flames in the sky, their ships' huge engines burning hard to slow them from the vast speeds needed to cross interstellar space. These foreboding lights will shine in our night sky like new stars, getting ever brighter until they outshine even the sun, casting ominous shadows and banishing the night until they suddenly blink out.

When linguist Andrew Dennison is yanked from his bed by the Secret Service and taken to a top secret facility in the desert, he has no idea he's been brought there to translate the words of an ancient demon. He joins pretty but cold veterinarian Sun Jones, eccentric molecular biologist Dr. Frank Belgium, and a hodge-podge of religious, military, and science personnel to try and figure out if the creature is, indeed, Satan. But things quickly go bad, and very soon Andy isn't just fighting for his life, but the lives of everyone on earth…

Mixed views.
I really liked the narrator, I thougth he did a good job of voicing the many characters and I would listen ot his other works.
As for the book, I have mixed views on it. First there is profanity and violence but no sexual content (except for a rape scene which happens behind closed doors).
The plot I actually liked even though, I found certain things hard to believe like the writer and that alot happens in 24 hours. I would have expected more time to have passed.
The other thing I found with this story is that it is long. I thought there are quite a few places that could have been cut. I found that it slowed the book down and I have to admit that I switched off a few times.
Would I recommend it? Yes, overall I liked it and I thought the story had something that had me gripped to the book. It does end on a sort of a cliff hanger and I do want to find out what happens next.

X-Files on Steroids
Where does Federal Underground rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
It is better then average but it is a bit confusing at times to follow the various twists to a complicated plot.
What other book might you compare Federal Underground to and why?
Mix the X-Files with all the Gov conspiracy theories throw in some aliens and run it through
a blender for a few minutes and you have your story.
Have you listened to any of Andrew Tell’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No.... but it is a good performance.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
The Feds are in bed with aliens.
Any additional comments?

Great beginning to a different kind of story
The premise of this book caught my attention and after starting it, was afraid it was going to lose me. There was a lot of setting up of characters, settings, and concepts that I was finding confusing, then all of a sudden, it all seemed to click and I was on the roller coaster ride for the remainder of the book.
This is a different kind of story not really found in other books. At it's core is a science fiction thriller I suppose, but there are other things in there as well. I tend to get in a rut with certain types of stories and this was a very refreshing change.
I was a bit disappointed in that once I was hooked and didn't want to put the book down, it ended as a clear setup for a series of books. While I guess this is good in that I do see a rich story universe being setup in this book, I do wish that books were setup to be self contained more (and if they happen to spawn a sequel so be it) instead of being such a clear setup for a series.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
Firstly, I don't read/listen to alien genre or political books in general. With that said, this was a pretty interesting book. The plot kept me interested and guessing what would come next. I don't know that I would purchase the next book but I did enjoy this one.

A wonderfully imaginative and poignant story!
This book is incredibly interesting with a very unique story telling point of view.
The story unfolds in what feels like parts but starts to come together and make more and more sense the longer you are into the book. I love the intricacies of telling multiple points of view and timelines which weaves together seamlessly.
The characters have such organic development with some slow crawling and sudden leaps and jumps.
I think that those of a nature to believe in Urban Legends and Conspiracy theories will get a real kick out of this book and those that enjoy an adventure thriller will certainly enjoy the book.
The narration is very good offering unique characters and conveying emotion and tone throughout the performance.
In summation this is a book worthy of savouring and enjoying. I am still not sure that I got all of the clues along the way but a second reading will help confirm or deny that one for me.

A complex but good sci fi book
I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
This was an exciting and fast paced sci fi story. The story has some twists to it, and was a bit complex, but ultimately pulls itself together and was quite good. I liked the narration, too. All in all, it was a good book that I would recommend.

Federal Underground
It took me awhile to feel committed to the story Federal Underground. Once I did I really enjoyed the book. The book reminded me of the scariest movie I ever saw as a child, the 1953 version of Invaders From Mars. Federal Under Ground is not as viscerally creepy as the movie, but it is scary in a more intellectual way. I don't think the book is for everyone, but listeners who like 1950 horror movies might like it.
Andrew Tell is a very good narrator.

Conspiracies abound!
Great blend of aliens, religion and government conspiracies. Bennington does a great job of bringing some of the "fringier" religious theories behind the aliens into the mainstream in "Federal Underground," weaving a tale that is both engaging and surreal. Depending on your background and religious beliefs, it may even feel just a touch realistic! Well done. ***This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.***
