About this listen
All empires eventually fall....
The United States is no exception...
And out of the embers, a lawless new empire will rise....
Across the world, the United States recalls troops to combat civil unrest after the biggest economic meltdown in history. Marine Sergeant Ronaldo Salvatore’s platoon comes home to a powder keg that could ignite a civil war. While some see the coming collapse as the end, others see opportunity.
Fleeing Naples after rival crime lords decimated his family, Don Antonio Moretti settles in Los Angeles to rebuild his criminal empire. But he is far from alone in his ambitions - the cartel and rival gangs all want the same turf, and they will sacrifice their own soldiers and the blood of innocents to get it.
As open warfare erupts across the states, Salvatore fights his way back to LA, where his son has joined the police in the battle for a city spiraling into anarchy. Family is everything, and the Morettis and Salvatores will do what they must to protect their own. But how far will they go to survive in a new economy where the only currency is violence?
The explosive new Sons of War series is a harrowing and realistic depiction of what a second American Civil War and the aftermath might look like, from former Homeland Security Disaster Mitigation Officer and New York Times best-selling author Nicholas Sansbury Smith.

Aging and outdated, most of the ships plummeted back to Earth long ago. The only thing keeping the two surviving lifeboats in the sky are Hell Divers - men and women who risk their lives by skydiving to the surface to scavenge for parts the ships desperately need.

Before the lights went out, Jack Warrant never considered himself a prepper. That was someone on the edge, a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday cultist who had a fatalistic view of the world. He was neither a theorist nor a cultist. He was an optimist. At least that was what he told himself when the darker thoughts creeped into his psyche as he stared at the ceiling in the middle of the night. Whenever he started down the rabbit hole, he always clawed his way back into the sunlight.

Fast, Furious and Fantastic!
I picked up Sons of War by Nicholas Sansbury Smith because it is narrated by the great Ray Porter. He is one of my favorite narrators of all times and the fact that he is performing the audiobook was reason enough for me.
But, just a few minutes in, I realized that Nicholas Sansbury Smith is a great action author that writes beautifully entertaining stories. I absolutely loved all the characters in Sons of War, each of them feel real, alive and with faults slipping through the cracks, so they appear even more human to the listener. From a Mafia Don, to a trio of teenagers and to a team of highly trained special ops Marines, we see how they react when their world is going to hell in a hand-basket.
As I was sure that he would, Ray Porter is the perfect narrator to bring all the characters and events in Sons of War to life. He reads, he acts, and he infuses the intense action of the story with talent, passion, giving it a soul!
I listened to Sons of War day and night, I was immersed completely into the story and I can't wait for book 2 in the series.
If you want well-written action, strong characters and a plot that moves along at breakneck speeds, this is the book for you!

Chill-Inducing
I have a lot of thoughts about this book. First and foremost, this is still very much a NSS book. Smith was able to create a new world, new good and bad guys, but still keep the “feel” that his other books have. If I were to compare this to another series – it would probably be the Trackers series. It had a similar feel to it along with similar pacing.
Sons of War is a mafia story but one that is set during an apocalyptic event. I loved the event that Smith wrote for this one because it felt extremely real. Like almost too scary real. I don’t want to go into exactly the elements that happen for fear of spoiling anything – but know that there were a few events and then finally a “oh crap” sort of moment that really set off the apocalyptic backbone of this story.
I went into this skeptical (okay, as skeptical as I could be when reading one of my favorite authors). I’m not always a mafia-story fan, but if anyone is going to make it work it was Smith. NSS is able to bring such realism and so many layers to these characters that you like them… even when you shouldn’t. Each person that you root for has more bad qualities than good and that’s something I’m not used to in a book like this. Usually it’s “they’re all good except this one flaw” where in this case pretty much everyone is a bad guy with one to two redeeming qualities. I’ve never read a book like that before, or at least a book that I liked.
Sons of War is the first book in a planned trilogy and I cannot wait to see where the other books go. But, if you’re one of those people who hate massive and major cliffhangers and incomplete stories – don’t worry Smith has you covered. This story feels complete. Like if it randomly ended her, I’d still have questions but I’d also be okay with that. It had a full story arc and full character arcs in it that makes me happy when finishing a book.
Overall, this book was awesome. It was a blast from beginning to end. The beginning was full of the typical getting to know character moments, but started off with a bang (or lots of bangs in one short moment). The struggles each character and the groups as a whole faced were extremely realistic. And honestly, it just felt like this could and would really happen. This book was chill-inducing.
I thought that Ray Porter did a fantastic job narrating this story – he brought some realism to the accents and was able to provide a great performance to an already great story.

The Best in a While!
This author, in my opinion is one the beat there is. I previously listened to another of his series called ‘Trackers’ and it has stuck with me ever since. So I couldn’t wait to start this book and this new series. Something about the post apocalyptic themes he writes about seem so real. Especially I guess since what we are experiencing in real life worldwide right now and everything feeling so unstable this book hits close to home. The last 2 hours of this book are incredible. I can’t wait until September for book 2 in the series. The narration is awesome as well which only added to the greatness of this book!

Ray did well but this whole book is meh
Ray did well but this whole book is pretty formulaic.
There is a whole lot of build up, presumably to book two, but very little payoff.

Love NSS but just not my thing
I can tell this book will be up to the same quality as other NSS books but the genre just isn't my thing. I am into gang wars and crime family stories.
