About this listen

Four years after an inexplicable wave of energy decimated the American mainland, and then just as inexplicably disappeared a year later, US President James Kipper is no closer to explaining the catastrophe to the traumatised survivors.

In a decaying New York City, an assassination attempt on the President prompts the suspicion that the looters overrunning Manhattan may be more organised and sinister than previously thought.

Then out of the smoking ruin of the Middle East comes an enemy that will be Kipper's toughest challenge yet. The battle for the Wild East is just beginning, but does this New America, and its gun-shy President, have the strength of will to destroy the past in order to save the future?

Author is fixated on breasts, it gets really old around the time his breastfeeding fetish pops up. It’s a shame, otherwise a great read!

Great story, pity about the sexism.

Not a bad story but need to pay attention to keep up with the political theory line
I feel that a lot of his other books are much better
A good book otherwise although seems the end could do with a more polished finish and a follow up would be good

Interesting

It’s just awful. From the painfully slow plot that explains the same pathetic political points over and over and over and over again, to the USA USA USA pandering, to the unbelievably boring 15 minute discourses that are not even remotely needed. It’s all bad. I mean, the whole premise is clearly absurd, but the execution… oh man it’s so bad. If you got through the first book somehow then do not buy this one. It’s so much worse, so so bad.

This may be the worst book ever written
