Resumen del Editor

World War III began years ago, and the American government doesn't even know it.

For years, while Iran and North Korea kept Western diplomats busy, China and Russia have been quietly seeding the US with spies and soldiers. Now, a silent army of occupation lurks inside US borders, and for America, it is already too late.

When the assault begins—via an EMP strike that disables the US electrical grid and neutralizes her defenses all in one fell swoop—the US is caught completely unprepared. The nation is lost, and it is up to ordinary citizens to defend their cities, towns, neighborhoods, or even just their families.

The Washingtons are no ordinary family. Gale Washington is an analyst at the Operations Center for Joint Intelligence Command. His wife, Joey, is a Navy commander aboard the International Space Station.

Or they were. Now, like their neighbors in their Northern Virginia suburb, they're just two people trying to survive. And maybe… find a way to strike back.

Mongol Moon is Mark Sibley's acclaimed debut novel about the individual impact of a global war for survival that looks increasingly plausible with each passing day.

scary

This science fiction could be science fact. Makes me want to buy a Faraday cage.

An enjoyable story will performed

I enjoyed the story as a World War III scenario, it was well done. I especially enjoyed the performance of the voices, capturing, accent and emotion.

I highly recommend.

Stunning.

I've read my physical and Ebook versions of MM 5 or 6 times, but Terry does an AMAZING job bringing Mark's world to life. Terry does a fantastic job with all the accents without ever bordering on absurd, and gives all the characters some real depth.

Mongol Moon- top 5

I’ve read a lot of post apocalyptic - this is easily in the top 5. Can’t wait to read the sequel. Will continue to fund Sibley’s NODS!

Excellent first entry

I found out about this book in an email from Wargate books and the authors of the "Galaxy's Edge" series among others. If you are like me, a combat vet, and picky about your military fiction, then you will know what I mean when I say I look to the veteran author community for recommendations. I wasn't disappointed.

An experienced listener of this specific genre will be familiar with the "Clancy" style the author uses to convey the story. It is a thrill ride with good character building and at least enthusiast level believability. For being a civilian with what appears to be some familiarity with working the defense side, the author does a decent job of proper places, equipment, situations and believable outcomes. As with Clancy and many other great writers of large scale WW3 style fiction, the character's personal motivations weigh heavy on what really happens on the ground, despite the planning of genuinely evil leaders and influencers.

I will make a statement about application of this story to real world scenarios. I was a paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne in the 80s and 90s. I fought in Panama and other places, but before that... we trained for months for an operation to go into Columbia and blow up drug labs and take down related operations and key leaders. The point is, that op never happened for various reasons only a few know, but... it wasn't a few years later that Tom Clancy came out with "Clear and Present Danger" that was essentially based on the Columbia op. That op (or lack there of) was highly classified in real life (not so much anymore) yet it is probably not a coincidence (and telling about national defense related "insiders") that Clancy knew of it and fictionalized it in such a short period after it was supposed to happen. I am no conspiracist, I am a realist who has been on the business end of reactive but ill prepared US defense policy. Take it for what it's worth, the scenarios depicted in this book are possible. The evidence that WW3 is already being fought "in the shadows" and in plain site via proxy are all around us, especially on open source and minimally biased sites. Enough serious.

Overall, great story, good narration (I believe the narrator has the makings of becoming a great narrator with more experience on cadence and pacing). The story will probably make you think, reflect on the fragility of our construct called "modern western civilization" and be entertained. Look forward to the next and may go ahead and read it on kindle.

No tacos in the apocalypse!

Great overall, I liked the plot line around the Iranians, that was a nice touch. Not crazy about the token gay couple or the token women in charge. Looking forward to the sequel!

Absolutely captivating. Hopefully the sequel is real.....

Finally got to get inside Mongol Moon and was not disappointed. Very well written and the story compelles you to keep going. Terry Schappert is a vocal master weaving the voices together in Mark Sibley's amazing story. Between the 2, this is ear and mind gold. Hopefully the Audible sequel is real......

The future of America unless we remove our heads from our first point of contact

A twist on Western but a overall good story and warning downfalll, hated hearing us get bohicad

Where's the sequel audiobook Sibley.

I want the audiobook sequel, Sibley.


Amazing listen. Terry was a great choice to read this.

So good it needs a sequel!

The story and performance are both top tier and excellent in every way but I need more.
