About this listen

The future of humanity comes at a price.

After colonizing Mars, humanity faces its next challenge…expansion. The World Council must vote on funding for a massive project that could bring civilization out from under the glass dome habitats. But conspiracy threatens progress when two political factions disagree. The only way to move forward is to resolve differences…or end them.

After the murder of a prominent councilmember, Halem, a policeman, is desperate to prove his innocence. He knows who is involved, but without proof, there is no hope of avenging his wife’s death. With no other choice, he decides to take the law into his own hands, but he soon finds that the conspiracy runs much deeper than he ever could have imagined.

For fans of Blade Runner and Total Recall, Syndicate is a technothriller full of action and intrigue.

My attention was gripped from the opening paragraphs until the end of the story. I listened to this audiobook in one sitting. I felt for Harlem and all that he endured. I liked his unwitting partner and how that relationship evolved. I was kept on the-edge-of my seat by the almost unceasing action. I appreciated that I was never quite sure where the story would flow. I'm looking forward to the next book. I was entertained by James Blackmore's narration, and his performance kept my attention. I was given a copy of the audiobook. I volunteered, without financial gain, to post this review which reflected my honest opinions regarding this audiobook.

Drew Avera’s Syndicate delivers a gritty, fast-paced technothriller that hooked me from the start—think Blade Runner meets political conspiracy on Mars. James Blackmore brings the story to life with a strong, immersive narration that perfectly fits Halem’s desperate quest for justice. If you're into sci-fi with sharp intrigue and high stakes, this is a solid listen.

A gritty, fast-paced technothriller!

Received as an audio review copy from Story Origin, this is an honest review. Narrated beautifully by James Blackmore, Syndicate is an immersive science fiction thriller that's both enthralling in its narrative, relevant story and the realistic, grounded characters affected by the complex web of actions each individual takes. Humanity has made its existence upon the dusty Mars planet but Tetrim, a member of the World Council believes life as being hold hostage by living under manufactured Domes. And his ambitious plan will bring about a glorious future... once Tetrim can capitalize from. But this ego-obsessed man never thought Halem, the men whom was suppose to taken the fall for hired murder of his wife; or Castor- the shadowy assassin would discover the dark forces behind Tetrim's harrowing ambitions... and work together to make the asshole pay.

Highly recommended.

I'm not a big syfi fan, so with that being said, I thought I could get into this book on the political mystery side of it. We'll that didn't happen. I found it hard to keep up with the character changes. whether it was the story, or the narration I can't quit put my finger on. I felt like I was having a book read to me, rather than having a story being told. I'm not saying I could have read it myself and the book be any better. If you are anything like me when you reed a book, each character has a different cadence. Sometimes even a different accent. This is just my honest opinion. With that being said, thank you so much for the opportunity to try something new.
