About this listen

 The year is 2042, and the long-predicted tipping point has arrived. For the first time in human history, the economic pyramid has flipped: The feeble old now outnumber the vigorous young, and this untenable situation is intensifying a battle between competing cultural agendas. Reporter Julia Davidson-a formerly award-winning journalist seeking to revive a flagging career-is investigating the growing crisis, unaware that her activity makes her a pawn in an ominous conspiracy.

Plagued by nightmares about her absent father, Julia finds herself drawn to the quiet strength of a man she meets at a friend's church. As the engrossing plot of FATHERLESS unfolds, Julia faces choices that pit professional success against personal survival in an increasingly uncertain and dangerous world.

FATHERLESS vividly imagines a future in which present-day trends come to sinister fruition. Christian Fiction Christian Living Christianity Dystopian Fiction Genre Fiction Science Fiction Science Fiction & Fantasy

Most relevant
This book provides an interesting and thought provoking social commentary of an ominous near future that is scarily possible.
Although at times the script felt more like a sermon pretending to be a novel, the story was intriguing and touching.
Some of the dialogue between characters feels unrealistic and staged, which detracts a little from immersing the reader in the story, however overall I found this novel to be well worth reading, and am looking forward to the next one in the series.
The narrator did a decent job, yet I'm unsure whether he was the best fit for this story. He came across more like a newsreader than a narrator at times.
A good read for those interested in media manipulation, relevant social issues and the future of mankind.
