About this listen

"For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows." (Mark 13:8)

When agent Joshua Stone is called to a high-level meeting at the Department of Homeland Security, he learns about a new global order which will be transitioning into power. Stone is read in on the plan for a single planetary government and a worldwide cashless currency, which will step in to fill the void left by the failing monetary system.

To win wide acceptance by the nations of the world, the old system must first be allowed to fail, bringing about a state of global chaos never before seen by mankind. Once desperation has taken the place of pride and hubris, humanity will beg for the proposed one-world empire led by the charismatic tech guru Lucius Alexander.

The United States will fall without a single shot being fired.

While still considered a sovereign nation under the new global charter, America is required to make some major adjustments in order to fit in. One of the mandatory changes comes in the form of oppressive firearms restrictions.

Agent Stone is tasked with infiltrating a group of anti-government nationalists to monitor their activities in the wake of the new gun ban. But what he learns from the group while working undercover causes him to question if he is on the right side of the fight.

As always

Godwin’s books are always informative and exciting. It is so wonderful to have a real author write a book. Real author’s do not have to use profanity. It is just so good

Ends to soon

This book is so good!! I have listened to my audible twice. I love how well it’s written and performed. Seriously one of the better authors of this genre. I personally enjoy the religious aspect incorporated and the development of the characters. I always wish they were longer.

Mesmerizing!

I have downloaded all his Audible books because he has become one of my favorite new writers. I love that he quotes scriptures which sets the tone of each chapter. Wherefore, I'm convicted to read my bible.

Scary

Certain aspects of this story could become a reality. Globalism and those behind it are a threat to everyone.
