    About this audiobook

    In an America driven to near bankruptcy with crushing foreign debt, the Talos Corporation stands out as a major success story--training soldiers and security forces from around the world and providing logistics and troops for nearly all branches of the United States government. But Talos has another plan in mind--the destruction of the federal system and constitutional law. Three FBI agents are all that stands between Talos's CEO Axel Price and the subversion of our nation. Nathan Trace, one of a team of four who created and programmed the thinking machines that are about to help Axel Price in his plans for domination, is the unlikely hero who, with Rebecca Rose, must stop the plan at all costs.

      The events in this book take place in the near future. Reading it, you can imagine a story like this unfolding within a couple of years from now. cutting edge scifi blended with the current reality of runaway borrowing by the entire USA.
    • 1/5
      Jumps from scene to scene in an attempt to create intrigue. It doesn't work. The conversations are unrealistic. You are not given any reason to 'connect' with any of the characters. I finally quit reading on page 244. The storyline is about a computer that oversees all government debt in the world and decides on it's own if it wants to call in the loans. All of the action revolves around attempts to gain control over this computer. Nothing in the book makes any of this real to the reader. It's just boring.
