About this listen
Ashur Yonan is going nowhere fast: an eighteen-year-old college dropout living with a mom who doesn’t understand him, mourning the death of his father five years earlier and working a dead-end food service job. The only good thing he has going for him is his girlfriend Kiki, but she’s leaving soon for college on the East Coast. It’s getting harder for Ashur to believe he still has the potential to make something great out of his life.
But after meeting with a mysterious stranger at his father’s gravesite, strange things begin to happen. A representative from a shadowy organization known as the Academy comes to Ashur with an offer to join their latest recruiting class.
Wary, but out of options, Ashur accepts—and enters a world of incredible new technology, cutthroat competition, and secrets that slowly begin to reveal themselves as he navigates his place at the Academy.
As Ashur pushes to learn more about the Academy, he also begins to uncover secrets about his own past, including a family history that traces back to the fall of the Shah during the Iranian Revolution, and a host of strange circumstances surrounding his father’s death. Will he be able to learn the truth in time to save himself … and the world?©2024 Patrick Bet-David (P)2024 Recorded Books

Story
Do you remember when the average annual return of a ninety-day CD at a bank in October of 1981 was 16.6%? How about the fact that the S&P 500 experienced a minimum annual rate of return of 21% in five consecutive years from 1995 to 1999? And let's not forget how real estate had a record breaking decade in the 2000's with an annual rate of return of 9.27%. Do you ever wonder what the next boom will be? That's exactly what this book is about.

You know who your competitors are. You keep tabs on them regularly, and can list them calmly, along with their strengths and weaknesses. But your enemies are a whole other matter. They’re the haters and the doubters who said you’d never make it, the ones who stomped on your dreams. When you think about your enemies, you get emotional. You feel like you won’t let anything—or anyone—stop you.

I remained a Democrat for twenty years, albeit with an independent streak." Today that party is unrecognizable.

Greed. Lies. Corruption. These are the foundational elements of the American Mafia story. Here, the pursuit of power overshadows even the desire for a dollar, and self-interest outweighs the greater good. It’s a world that’s foreign to the average American—or is it? The values of our democracy and those of Mafia culture are separated by a thin line that’s quickly disintegrating.

Today’s conservatives know what they’re against. They’re anti-woke, anti-globalist, anti-big government. But what exactly do they stand for? The fact that this is a hard question to answer is a damning indictment of the modern Republican Party which has abjectly failed to articulate an affirmative alternative to the left’s vision. Ramaswamy calls on the conservative movement to articulate exactly what it stands for, or else warns of another illusory “red wave” in 2024.

Story
Five days ago, the epidemic of rage began. Four days ago, the rash of senseless murders swept the nation. Three days ago, the president addressed the country and begged for peace—even as the murders increased tenfold. Two days ago, the killers began to mobilize. One day ago, the power went out. And tonight, the killers are reading the names of those to be killed over the Emergency Broadcast System.

Story
Aristotle Onassis was a born orator, and Jackie Kennedy would sit and listen to him spin off tales and stories - often racy - by the hour. A speaker of seven languages, he could keep a dinner party of some of the world's most sophisticated conversationalists spellbound. Even Jackie couldn't help but drop her reserve and laugh with him. America's First Lady simply never knew anyone quite as free or exotic as Aristotle Onassis, a paradoxical blend of raconteur and ruffian.

Story
Bringing his audacious and persuasive thesis to life, Gartner offers case histories of some famous Americans who represent this phenomenon of hypomania. These are the real stories you never learned in school about some of those men who made America: Columbus, who discovered the continent, thought he was the messiah. John Winthrop, who settled and defined it, believed Americans were God's new chosen people. Alexander Hamilton, the indispensable founder who envisioned America's economic future, self-destructed because of pride and impulsive behavior.

Story
Today’s conservatives know what they’re against. They’re anti-woke, anti-globalist, anti-big government. But what exactly do they stand for? The fact that this is a hard question to answer is a damning indictment of the modern Republican Party which has abjectly failed to articulate an affirmative alternative to the left’s vision. Ramaswamy calls on the conservative movement to articulate exactly what it stands for, or else warns of another illusory “red wave” in 2024.

Stellar Storytelling
Now I know why the PBD team is so amped about their new space and making it into the Palm Beach Movie Mecca. This is just the beginning of Asher as protagonist in a long line of fiction that rivals any fiction of today in hopes of a movie one day. The amount of detail is insurmountable to any story and gives inspiration to us all to go and get our dreams. I found this listen extremely relatable as I am the son of a foreign immigrant. Again thanks so much for representing all of us!

It felt real, like I was Ashour.
I loved how it made me feel like I was in the story itself. It felt like I was a child immersed in it, all over again.
Definitely needs a sequel, or even a tv show series.. Long Live Assyria !

I loved the characters
I have followed the author for years and am so delighted with this book, it was captivating from the prologue to the end. I love that the characters had their strengths and waeknesses and that they were not written off by their friends despite their failures. I can't wait to hear the sequel.

Intriguing
I have been listening to Patrick Bet David’s podcast for a few years now, so the storyline was not surprising. The twist and the turns were. The pieces of the real history past and hidden from truth were appreciated. It was captivating and I listened to the whole book in 3 days. If you want to learn about history that is unspoken off, in an intriguing way, this is the book.

Wow.... Wow!..... WOW!!!!
I've been an admirerer of PBD since I discovered his podcast a few months ago. I was always impressed by his demeanor and articulate thoughtfulness.
When I saw the first advertisement about his book, I was drawn to it out of intuitive curiosity. I'm glad I followed it. The character developement and storyline of the novel makes if for one you either can't put down or can't stop listening to. In fact, I think I'm going to read it again because the story is so rich. As a huge fan of history and who had studied a lot of the figures brought to life in his book, I found the vault technology enthralling.
In addition, it gave me insight into the Pursian and Asyian culture and haritage. Although I don't share that lineage myself, the lessons and perspectives imparted in this masterpeace are more than mere invaluable. They're things that anyone looking to better themselves and their lives can take to heart - and know that the challenges are worth it.
Thenk you for such a literary journey. It's something of a calliber that I would love to write. Job most well done!
As for the narration, I was captivated by the way he borught out the characters and emotions. Through his voice, you coul feel everything they felt, and that is an artform, to say the least. I look forward to more with rabid anticipation. Thank you!
