About this listen

Don’t call him Ishmael. Or do; he really doesn’t care. Just don’t call him Fred.

No matter what you call him, though, he has a problem. Well, several of them. Ishmael - for want of a better name - woke up in a world that had changed. The Corporations - the wielders of power in a society not long from now - brought about the end of civilization as we know it, nuking each other to the point where it collapsed.

Ishmael doesn’t know any of this, though; in fact, he doesn’t know anything about himself when he wakes up in this shattered world. All of his autobiographical and episodic memories are gone, and along with them, any knowledge of who he was or anything in his past.

Worse, he has made enemies of some very important people, and they are after him. They are armed and he is alone and in...well, he doesn’t know where he is, either.

Can Ishmael stay alive long enough to recover his memories - to find out who he is and how he fits - or will he be just another casualty of This Fallen World?

I love the series so far but I feel like the reference "This Fallen World" at the end of every chapter really ruins the book for me. The last book said it a few times throughout the book but after a few chapters, this author puts it in at the end of every chapter. I get it, this book is part of a series by different authors but you don't have to beat me over the head with it.

I love the series but...

Good points,
Set in the same universe as This Fallen World.
Okay storyline
Excellently read by the voice actor.

Less than good points,
Not written by the original author and unfortunately it shows - in the story itself and the truly cringe worthy of the writer ending the majority of the chapters with “in this fallen world.”
Suffers from weak characters compared to the first book.

I was glad this book was part of the plus catalog and I hadn’t had to pay for it as I would have felt ripped off after the first book, which was a book I wouldn’t mind having paid for. My expectations for a sequel were low as so few sequels live up to the promise of the first book. My expectations were further lowered when I saw that it was a completely different author. At best it reached my much lower expectations, just scraped enough for the much lower end of 3 stars, at 2.7 stars rounded up because of the star system in this app.

Pale imitation of This Fallen World
