The Separatists

De: Lis Wiehl, Sebastian Stuart

Narrado por: Devon O'day

From New York Times best-selling author Lis Wiehl comes the final book in her Newsmakers series.

Journalist and newscaster Erica Sparks is planning only to report on an explosive story - until she gets caught in the middle of it.

After getting the green light from her network to launch an investigative news show, Erica flies to Bismarck, North Dakota, to investigate Take Back Our Homeland, the largest secessionist group. What she finds is profoundly disturbing - a growing threat to the future of our union.

Back home, her husband, Greg, is drinking more and talking less - and taking an unusual interest in the glamorous author Leslie Burke Wilson. Erica's teenage daughter has also begun acting out in troubling ways.

Then she discovers a potential informant murdered in her Bismarck hotel. Take Back Our Homeland might be even more dangerous than she had thought - and she's unwittingly become one of the key players in the story. Her fear and anxiety escalate - for her marriage, her daughter, and her own life.

Best-selling novelist and former legal analyst for Fox News Lis Wiehl takes us behind the anchor's desk in this gripping look at high-stakes reporting in a country torn apart.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Political high jinks and unusual escapades always mark a Lis Wiehl novel. Eric Sparks is a highly trained, top-notched, alpha-female - totally reminiscent of her creator. This one is a smart, sexy, reflective read and I highly recommend it." (Steve Berry, New York Times best-selling author)

"BREAKING NEWS! Lis Wiehl has written another blockbuster - using her insider's eye to nail the dangerous mix of media and politics. The Separatists is bold, timely, thrilling and a simply stunning read." (Linda Fairstein, New York Times best-selling author)

Entertaining/timely story but ...

Enjoyed the book except for one nagging issue. The author has no knowledge of Army ranks. She refers to the second in command of the North Dakota army base as a corporal, which is not even an officer rank. A corporal is the first (ie, lowest) no-commissioned officer rank. Also, the corporal character is a West Point graduate and who would have been commissioned a lieutenant (lowest officer's rank) upon graduation. As second in command to a General, he might have been a Coronel. Did anyone proof read this book?

Loved it as well

So forward to next story, hope it is nearly ready for publication AND that there is a follow- on?

Feminist agenda.

The entire story revolves around powerful women and simpering, sexual, dependent men. I was ok with the previous book but this one just turned into a woke women power grab. I love competent women but this was ridiculous.

This third book of the series was the least convincing in its storyline.

I appreciate the writing style of the author and enjoy it. The emotional instability of the main character is difficult to listen to at times.
