De: Jack Thorlin

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

In the near future, a baker is robbed and left for dead by corrupt tax collectors in the West African Republic. He and a retired mercenary friend vow to liberate their country and build a functioning democracy. With the help of Silicon Valley technology, a network of the downtrodden, and the courage of their convictions, the two lead a revolutionary struggle against the dynastic dictatorship that rules their country. What would happen if a third-world revolutionary group genuinely embraced the ideals of the American Revolution? How would a jaded United States react after years of fighting fundamentalist revolutionaries like ISIS? Would China intervene to prop up a dictator aligned with their economic interests? Set in 2025, this geopolitical thriller in the Tom Clancy mold combines intense action with a a thought-provoking vision of a modern day liberal democratic revolution in the third world. Set four years before Thorlin's War of the Knights series depicting a Chinese invasion of Taiwan, this novel introduces new heroes and delves into the backstory of Sergeant Clay McCormick.
