About this listen

When a corrupt think tank, The Foundation for a New America, enlists a Taiwanese terrorist to bomb a World Trade Organization conference, the US and China are put on the path to war.

Star journalist Jack Emery is pulled into a story far more dangerous than he could have imagined. Because the Foundation's deputy director, the ruthless Michelle Dominique, recognizes that whoever controls the message controls the world. And she will take control, no matter the price.

Enter Jack's boss, Ernest McDowell, owner and chairman of the largest media empire on the planet. In the midst of political upheaval, EMCorp is about to become the final play in the Foundation's plan. When Dominique traps the EMCorp owner in her web, Jack's the only one left to expose the conspiracy before it's too late.

As the world powers smash each other against the anvil of Taiwan, Jack will risk everything to battle the Foundation and prevent them from taking control amid the devastation of a global war.

I really enjoyed this book. It seemed slow to start with but soon had me hooked. It needed the slow start as there was a number of characters to set up, that play major parts in the story and it was nice that you didn't just get the perspective of the main character. So you knew why the baddies where doing what they did. It's a scary thought but with the world like it is you could easily see it happening.

The eight hour story just flew by and was helped by the narrator, who was right for the part.

Great foundation to a series!!

Excellent modern day thriller. Action packed with great characters. The Foundation plans to make America great again, and is willing to start World War III to make it happen. They weren't counting on a particularly tenacious reporter.

Loved it!

A great story, well written with great plot turns and full of intrigue!
Along with a great narrator to boot! Ok, the accents could use a little perfecting, but they don’t detract anything from the story!
Hope there’s more of this to come!
This is my honest opinion on a free review copy.

Really enjoyable thriller!
