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.

The values of our democracy and those of Mafia culture are separated by a thin line that’s quickly disintegrating.

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.

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.

Great book to read as a 19 year old trying to find his way in the world!
The story was very relatable to the shared experiences of so many teenagers dealing with family drama, uncertainty of the future, and a call to do something great. I appreciate the way the book ventures into topics that are taboo to talk about, and does so while showing the greater lessons that can be learned about our history. Overall, great read even from someone who doesn’t tend to like fiction!

Fantastic, fast paced, full of twists and turns
I loved stepping inside the mind of PBD, what a wonderful man who had truly done great things. I can feel his life story, pride, and lived experiences through Asher’s adventures in this book and I feel as if I know PBD a little better today than I did before starting this book this is a must read for all young men before graduating high school
