Summary
Almost five years ago, America—as everyone knew it—came to an abrupt end in a spectacular coup d'état. It was called the Liberation by those progressives and radicals that screamed for its outcome; the Fall by its victims whose freedoms were trampled. The White House and the Capitol were overrun by anarchists, and the leaders of the once-proud nation were either imprisoned or sent to social quarantine camps.
The president was arrested and eventually died in prison, or so everyone was led to believe. America was rebooted in a new progressive/socialist image, Newmerica. The United States of old was gone, its history erased and rewritten, its icons destroyed. By the time people tried to organize resistance, it was too late. The citizens lost their history, their flag, their traditions, their freedoms, and their leaders. Newmerica is a state of reparations, citizens turning on citizens, where even the churches are targets of social justice.
Five years later, an unlikely group of patriots emerges from the shadows seeking a restoration of their nation. Two secret service agents struggle with their secrets from the night of the Fall. One son of a patriotic college professor struggles with his father’s legacy and the important artifacts that his father managed to preserve. A young man finds himself face-to-face with the lies the Newmerica government has told him and forced to become a fugitive. A covert operative of the new government seeks out the truth about the "traitor-President’s" fate while coming to terms with her own dark past. Twists of fate or destiny bring these people together with the mission of trying to save what is left of the once-United States.
Time is running out as the forces of the government hunt down this group of renegades, hoping to smother, once and for all, any trace of what was America.

engaging and well paced
truly nightmarish in places, was well worth the listen. the narration was a little lackluster or faulty in places and the story held few surprises. does what it says on the tin.

A possible future?
I have been a fan of Blaine Pardoe and his Battletech work for a long time.
Most of my reading is either Sci-Fi or Horror, but I had heard about this range of books from Blaine and I was curious. I do like alternate history/future stuff, especially if they are a bit "out-there". This book is sadly far from "Out-There", although it is based in the US I can quite easily see similar situations occurring in the UK.
If you are familiar with Blaine's writing then this book will not disappoint. Edward Thornton delivers easy to follow narration.
The story grips you all along. I cannot recommend this enough!

Not bad, the performance lets it down
Quite enjoyed the story, the naration is quite good, but it is poorly produced, audio levels change, its clear where parts have been rerecorded and the voice quality goes up and down. I would say the story is brave new world or 1984 level, but sadly there is a lot of truth to it, I'd say it even goes light on some of the distopian aspects.
