Resumen del Editor

One man obsessed with power. One woman prepared to sacrifice everything to stop him. One war that changed the world.

"World War three lasted 12 days. Twelve days was all it took for mankind to devastate the planet and almost eradicate the human race. No victor emerged from the ashes and billions lost their lives. We survivors lived through the bleakest of winters. A primal existence became the new order, and the little that remained of our humanity hung in the balance. Then one man stood up and changed the world. I believed, as did everyone else, that he was the hero of our time, the man who had saved us from our own demise. His name is Eric Dane and he is the President of the New United States of America. He is also my husband, and my greatest enemy. I grew up oblivious to the truth, until my father found me when I was 19 years old. He told me about the many horrifying facts that our new leader kept hidden from us. And he told me that beyond the borders the Resistance grew and fought for freedom from the oppression that Eric Dane had imposed on us. My name is Rebecca Davis. I am 26 years old, and in me the Resistance has found the ultimate weapon."

A narrative of good and evil, love and passion, right and wrong, and at the center of the story a strong woman who is prepared to sacrifice everything for the cause she believes in. The Legacy is an action-packed, adrenaline-inducing thrill ride which will leave you riveted long after you have listened to the last page.

Loved it!

The story grabbed my attention and kept me engaged throughout the book. The narrator did a fantastic job bringing out this story. The only issue I had was at the end when the heroine doesn't know when to stop and caused a lot of unnecessary deaths/problems. It stressed me out so much I wanted to take away a star in the review. But after I finished and thought about it I wanted to keep my 5 star rating because the storyline was very interesting throughout the book. Can't wait to see what happens next in this series.

Amazing read

The Legacy, my fourth read/listen from author Melissa Delport (Lissa Del) & the first book in a series was absolutely excellent! There's something about a story with characters trying to survive in a cataclysmic world that's moved on. I don't restrict my reading to any particular genre. Instead, I'm a sucker for anything with memorable characters & a story that keeps me on the edge of my seat until the end. Narrator Lynn Devereux’s talented narration added greatly to the book’s enjoyment. I was given an Audible copy of this book & am voluntarily reviewing it. Since I own both the Kindle & Audible edition I was able to follow along while being read to. I have to admit there were times I sped up the book because I couldn't wait to see what happened next. Well-written romantic/suspense, with well-developed characters. I’ll be reading more from this author & look forward to the rest of the series! (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

Better than expected

The book was a happy surprise. Although the summary is true, it doesn’t quite do the actual book justice. There is lots of plot, and an actual end to the book (unlike many books with books 1’) after their name! The female lead is strong, and grows as the story progresses.

The Legacy

The Legacy kept me hooked from the very beginning to the very end! The storyline was incredibly compelling with unbelievable quantities of action packed into a single novel. Looking forward to Book 2.

Excellent Story!

The writing and narration are equally amazing in this very exciting tale. I'm looking forward to the next book.

Action

Story full of love and action, of people making a stand against wrong.
Narration was very good

WOW!

This book was fantastic! Original storyline. I was invested from the beginning. I seriously was sucked into this book and when I got to the end I was like "Nooooooooo!" Now I have to get my hands on the next book in the series. Melissa Delport, you have a new fan in me.

Romantic Sci-fi

Although The Legacy contained more romance than I care for, the story redeemed itself with some interesting science fiction ideas and a fast moving, action filled plot. Lynn Devereux did a good job with the voices and she was a perfect fit for the central character, Rebecca.

Great book but cliffhanger!!

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

I loved this book. The story line was action packed and engaging. the narration was perfect! There is a cliffhanger but makes it exciting. Onto the next book.
