À propos de cet audio
In 2035, the southwestern United States is ravaged by drought, reeling from an environmental catastrophe that has left the landscape a chaotic, depleted ruin. California, still viably inhabitable due to its oppressive social controls, marshals state-of-the-art surveillance technology and totalitarian policies to preserve its fragile hold on rapidly dwindling resources and an increasingly unsettled population.
After a prominent California congresswoman is assassinated for her support of the state's secession from the United States, Nathan Fisher - accidental witness to a clandestine military-style operation - is drawn into an unraveling conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of power and threatens the lives of Fisher and his family.
Hunted by ruthless killers seeking to ensure his silence, suspected by the authorities, and aided only by a loyal Marine officer with a mysterious agenda, Fisher and his loved ones must somehow stay a step ahead of their relentless pursuers, navigating a ruined world in a desperate search for sanctuary.

Well researched, fast paced
The best part about this story is the realistic and interesting world the author creates. It's a near-future novel that focuses on California. The Golden State is now brown and has huge water challenges. As a result, the state has gone just a touch authoritarian and looks to control people's daily activities (water consumption, where folks can drive, etc).
The schism that exists today in the US has grown and in this book there's an active separatist movement in California. It's still in the US, but its teetering toward becoming its own country.
The author's research skills and imagination create an entirely believable, if depressing tableau for his story.
The story itself is well done. There's a solid plot, good characters, and well done bad guys. The pace of the book is a strength. Things move along at a good clip and the action scenes are well executed.
Overall, I enjoyed this story because it took place in a setting that is eminently possible and speaks to the craziness that's taking place in the US right now. It also has a realistic take on what's coming down the pike from a climate change perspective.
