About this listen
In a post-apocalyptic world devastated by a social-economic collapse, Haven Segreti is forced to conform and serve as a member of an elite administrative pack behind the community walls of the New Republic. She faces difficult choices, torn between an illicit liaison with her mentor, Adrien, and a chance of a deeper connection with a troubled young man set on revenge.
Between submitting to the world or rebelling against it, between helping her friends flee to a better future, or saving the family she left behind.
Meanwhile, Adrien Damaso, the protege of the President of the Ruling Council, manipulates people and circumstances toward his own subversive ends, leaving a trail of gruesome murders in his wake. He may prove her best ally if he doesn't kill them first.
To the west, Nathan Hambrice wakes from a coma to find the world he knew is gone. With the aid of a military leader, Nathan travels east in search of his family and Haven's mother, Alexandra, whose family compound may have survived the collapse. However, Nathan's incursion into the New Republic puts him and anyone who helps him in grave danger.
As their paths collide, the three must navigate a dangerous landscape where their choices will determine not only their own fate, but the fate of a nation.
This dystopian thriller weaves engaging characters through an allegorical tale that plays American political theory against opposing ideologies and current social, political, and philosophical issues for a terrifying view of a future it may be too late to avoid.

It's fall 2007. A well-timed leak has revealed that the US government might have engaged in first contact. Cora Sabino is doing everything she can to avoid the whole mess, since the force driving the controversy is her whistleblower father. Even though Cora hasn't spoken to him in years, his celebrity has caught the attention of the press, the internet, the paparazzi, and the government - and with him in hiding, that attention is on her. She neither knows nor cares whether her father's leaks are a hoax and wants nothing to do with him.

To the vampires who dominate each quadrant of the Lydian Dynasty, I'm only known as "Blackbird" - a masked vigilante who, at 19, is already public enemy number one. To what's left of humanity, I've been called a superhero, a title I neither welcome nor deserve. My only objective is to offer the enslaved what was stolen from us.... Freedom. However, a failed plan lands me in the last place I imagined, at the mercy of all four Dynasty princes - Julian, Levi, Roman, and Silas.

Cadence and her sister possess the seeds of glory and ruin—or so their father always insisted. Cadence never understood what he meant until Airlie’s seed of power is activated, turning her into the most powerful mage in generations. Despite knowing it must mean her own dormant seed is much more malevolent, Cadence is swept away to the distant Mage’s Guild in her sister’s wake. She’s used to living in Airlie’s shadow, but she can’t see a place for herself in this new world. Nor can she believe in the apparent interest of the charming Zeke. No one has ever chosen her over her beautiful sister.

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive.

Story
Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

This could be true life
This could be true life if this country continues in the direction we are headed. The author does a good job with realism of possibilities. I found the idea of "packs" of students with their mentor/teacher to determine the next job interesting but certainly not surprised by the decision being based on "favor" and the ability of the student to conform. One "negative" is that, in my opinion, there's just too much narrative for information. Especially at the beginning. I prefer getting the "background" of what happened or is happening through the character's conversations with each other. The positive of that is that the narrator has a fantastic way of telling the story, and therefore, kept me going. Randy McCarten has a natural talent for voice inflection (definitely not monotone!!), story telling and fantastic character voices.
All in all, I enjoyed the book and highly recommend.

Realistic
A post-apocalyptic tale of social-economic collapse, survival, deadly political games, and a serial killer in the guise of a public official keeps this story entertaining and frightening. Given today’s economy and political divide, this story hits close to home. Haven Segreti must decide her future and the future of all those she cares about. Agonizing, she discovers that each of her desires will require a different decision and they will have severely conflicting results!
The author, Julie A. Fragoules weaves a story pulling from today’s headlines and political unrest to create this story. It is engaging and horrifying at the same time. As the listener, one cannot help but make connections between events in the book and current-day events. Fragoules is clever and talented at subtly hitting very close to home with the subject matter. Further, the characters are intense and distinct. The plot twists are well executed and not always expected. The building of the storyline and character development is deliberate and slow.
The narrator, Randy McCarten, delivers a smooth and sharp performance capturing and projecting the personality of each character in vivid detail. The quality of his performance further enhances the story capturing the imagination of each listener and the personality of each character.
This is an interesting and captivating story, but it hits very close to the real situation at home which makes it more horrifying.
There were no issues with the quality or production of this audiobook.
