Thrive

A Post-Apocalyptic Alien Survival Novel

De: Jonathan Yanez

Narrado por: Mark Boyett, Suzy Jackson

Would you choose peace over truth?

How long could that peace last?

The citizens enjoy the peace of their perfectly planned city. But when she notices cracks in the facade, Jordan’s waking dreams turn to nightmares.

She thought she had received the promotion of a lifetime; she was wrong. The promotion only brings her closer to terrifying truths of the administration.

Secrets told to keep the citizens safe turn out to be lies to keep them in line. Those in power manipulate from the shadows behind whispers and fear.

Because if Jordan is brave enough to look past the veil, a mad wasteland awaits.

Now, for any chance at survival beyond the wall, she must create implausible alliances. Time is short. Hope exists. And the truth could be even more shocking than she expected.

Full of the fast-paced, insane ride found in Nicholas Sansbury Smith’s Hell Divers and the twists and turns in A.G. Riddle’s Atlantis Gene.

Nice job!

A new twist on a familiar tale with interesting characters. Looking forward to the next volume!

Great adventure with Awesome Narrative

First off I have to let you know that the narrator's Mark Bogart and Suzy Jackson did one fantastic job in bringing to life the story. I am excited to be able to listen to a fantastic story. Jonathan Yanze has not disappointed in this story. One of bravery, which shows how you can always push your self to do what you may have been afraid to do. This makes this story awesome.

Easy and Fun Listen

When I got this book, it was on the strength of Mark Boyett and Suzy Jackson's narration. Mark does most of B. V. Larson's narrations and Suzy did one of Brandon Sanderson books. So, I knew the narration would be terrific.

The story is fast paced with a very interesting premise. At the time of this review, there are only 13 ratings and I hope this story catches on. This is my effort to help it along. I will also write a review of the next in the series, but for now, this is a very strong start and Yanez clearly has talent.

PA survival, enjoyed the dual narration

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

TLDR; Standard PA survival deal, if you enjoy them this doesn't really break the mold (yet).

***Spoilers below***

This runs through most of the PA survival troupes you'll be expecting. Walled off city, with 1984ish government running the city, and our main character breaks out of the city after learning too much. That covers the first chunk of the book, after that, we find resistance fighters who are surviving outside the city. This whole first book is your basic PA survival story. However, it builds into what could be an interesting Sci-Fi direction throughout the book. Basically, they are aliens (maybe) that are controlling this world as an experiment of some kind. This could open the series up to some interesting directions in the future. Basically, at this point, you're gambling on a decent PA survival growing into something more. The book was done well enough that I think it might be worth the gamble.

*** End Spoilers***

Overall, if you want some PA survival that might grow into something more this is probably right up your ally.

Post-Apocalyptic--A City Fighting to Survive!

They live in a city of lies. Who's telling the truth? Only the town leader knows what's going on. Or, does he? Does he know it all? Anyone who digs to find answers is thrown out of the city. Well, as it turns out, there are 6 cities, and a pyramid at the center of them. Someone is running an experiment on them. Someone wants one of the cities to kill the other five. But what's the truth. The only things the survivors outside the city gates know is #1: Killer Robots are everywhere, and #2: Wherever they are... it isn't earth.
This was a fun book, though it ends at a cliffhanger, the conclusion of book one is done, and I'm looking forward to checking out book 2.
The audio book was fantastically narrated.
