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.

Love the tie to Kragdon-ah and Middle Falls

I have already recommended the Kragdon-ah series to a friend. Anyone looking for realistic futuristic science fiction will love this series and the partner series!

a new twist on an old idea

The idea of the world ending and living in a bubble has been around a long time. this is where this author shines. He takes an old idea and makes it new again. i have read all of his middle falls books which are fabulous so i decided to give this one a shot. i can't wait until the next book in this series comes out, it is a great adventure

Decent story with some disappointment

I would have liked to learn more about why "things went to shit". The premise of why things happened seemed a little flown over and felt grasped at.
Not the greatest book but also not the worst
