    About this audiobook

    A land in ruin. A state on the verge of secession. A man on the run.

    In a future California ravaged by drought and on the brink of political upheaval, a high-profile assassination triggers a cascade of violence and sabotage facilitated by the highest levels of power. Nathan Fisher, an unassuming government employee, is drawn into the unraveling conspiracy after accidentally witnessing a suspiciously timed clandestine military-style operation.

    Hunted by ruthless killers seeking to ensure his silence, suspected by the authorities, and aided only be a loyal Marine officer with a mysterious agenda, Fisher and his family must somehow stay a step ahead of their relentless pursuers, navigating a dangerously changed world in a desperate search for sanctuary.

    With their lives on the line and California on the brink of secession, can they save themselves—and ultimately their country?

    • 5/5
      Congratulations to Steven Konkoly and Thomas&Mercer in producing an excellent book. I received this free from Netgalley. It's right up there with the top ranks of political thrillers, as good as the best. Setting is California, 2030. Water rationing in western states leads to California becoming the leader in reclaimed resources. They institute the card system in which every product purchased is registered and tracked by the state. Resources are allocated per person and household and contests held to see who conserves the most. Movement developed to keep California's resources within the state- secede from the union. This pits big business and their political allies against the separatists. Politics become violent with the murder of California's Congresswoman.It is so over the top, yet ads our political arena continues to degrade, not impossible to imagine. A chase involving guns, knives, bombs, grenades, drones, missiles and extreme danger everywhere, never letting up or slowing down. Anyone who likes the hunt or likes military action will love this book.
