About this listen

In 2032, there are more than five hundred billionaires worldwide. In 2033, there are none.

As a teenager, Quinn Starkweather builds a computer program that accurately predicts world events. He has created a Nostradamus machine.

While Quinn becomes very wealthy, the program predicts the world will be torn apart by financial inequity. The 99.9% will rise up against the billionaires in what is dubbed The Rage Wars.

The world stands on the razor’s edge of disaster. With enough warning of the coming apocalypse, Quinn builds an ark in the desert—a self-sufficient domed city he calls Altor.

The Fifteen, a powerful band of anarchists, revel in the world burning. They are intent on not just sabotaging Altor but destroying everything.

Can Quinn finish Altor before the Fifteen destroy not just it but the entire world?

Contains special note from the author.

I wasn’t sure that this was for me at that start of the book, but Shawn is a master of character development. You end up liking them! I can’t wait for book two. Goooooooo Quinn Stark!
Also love the sneaky ties to the Alex Hawk series. It feels like Easter eggs are buried within.

Inmon has done it again!
