a good story

This is a well written story about the fall of America. The narrator does a good job, but I think (personal preference here) some more inflection on some of the voices is needed.

Story is great but bad voice actor

The reader didn't know how to pronounce things properly. Also was way too monotone. The guy just needed to do more research.

Very Good End of America Story.

This is the first in a series by Mr. Hogan. Its set in a future America where the Left has run amuck and thru executive orders stripped our rights and set into motion the Globalist Agenda 21 on American soil called in UN troops and split the Country into zones. The Mr Hogan has done his research and these executive orders are real and on the books going back to JFK up To Obama.

The follow the characters as they try and survive in a world that is run on martial law. Brutality is common place and mans inhumanity to man in in vivid display. Mr Hogan paints a grim picture of a possible future. I cannot wait to hear more.

The narration was of a very high quality. The narrator was deeply expressive and brought great emotion to the characters and this grim future.

What Happens When You Take Liberty and Rights Away

We arrive at a post-apocalyptic the a very familiar path. The government just doing what was "best" for the people. Hogan introduces us to a world that has no rights and liberties, at least for the Americans who thought they had them. This is a good read as we watch the journeys of Nathan, Jess, Denny and others as the try to survive the realities of the new America.
The country they thought was free is now controlled by martial law and they are the enemy.
This is well worth the listen even if just for the entertainment. But even more worth the listen as we see the consequences of inaction in preserving our rights and liberty.

Great book!

There are some who don't like the narrator but once you get into the book I think he fits it. The book was a different take than the normal shtf routine which was good. I thought the scenarios with the DHS, the issues and liberal greed and the way government control/tyranny came about was spot on. Over all an excellent book.

A possible future.

I enjoyed his but I felt it needed something more. Maybe more character building or fewer plot lines. I don’t know. I wasn’t completely drawn in with the ‘I can’t put this down feeling’ or the ‘oh wow I wonder what will happen next’ feeling either. I have already started book 2 and everything is coming together better so that is why I gave the book at higher rating.
Narration is good.

A good start to the series.

This book started the Tyrant series. The premises behind the series is Fema and the United Nations take over the United States. The President allows this to happen. It follows several groups as they survive and stay out of the Fema camps. The book was good, but the narrator did not help maske it great.

A gripping post-apocalyptic tale!

Hogan's writing is a rollercoaster of action and emotion, and McAllister's narration breathes life into the characters. Don't miss this thrilling journey through a world where only the strong survive - a must-read (or listen) for any dystopian fiction enthusiast!

Perfect for those that enjoy a military presence

I enjoy 'end of the world' books but found this one to have more military involvement than I generally prefer. I liked the characters but would have enjoyed more background on them. Overall a nice book.

Not a bad listen

The story was well written and informative. The tidbits of info were accurate, but there were some things that just needed editing. For example, how about not calling out the letters “H-M-M-W-V” but rather use the term Humvee? Just little things.

The narrator was the worst part. His voice has a tendency to make you want to doze off.
