Beat

The Beat Series, Volume 1

By: Jared Garrett

Narrated by: Jared Garrett

Nik Granjer knows they're lying about the Bug. Sure, it was the Bug that wiped out more than 90 percent of humanity 100 years ago, but that's ancient history. The Bug has to be gone by now.

Except everyone thinks the Bug still kills anyone whose heart rate goes over 140 beats per minutes. That is why the prime administrator gave citizens the Papas - digital wrist monitors that knock people out when their heart rate gets too high. The Papas saved the last of humanity.

But one night after curfew, on the border of New Frisko, Nik tampers with his Papa with terrible consequences. And when a brutal, high-tech enforcement squad from the city shows up, Nik goes on the run.

Outcast and desperate for allies, Nik's only hope is to unearth the truth about the prime administrator and the origin of the Bug. And stay alive in the process. If he fails, he could be the only witness to the final extinction of humanity.

Great book that moves quickly. Excited to listen during any spare moment.

Follow Nik as he seeks independence.

Dystopian Whiz-kid Epic adventure.

Smart kid takes down a big-brother world.
A great addition to the apocalyptic genre for young adults. I look forward to the other Adventures the author has in store for the characters.

Good book, high pace, felt like a teen sci-fi

### Good book, high pace, felt like a teen sci-fi. Decent performance considering it’s also the author.

Action packed-

I often listen to audio books to help me go to sleep. That was a mistake with this book. Jared Garrett pours adrenaline into this novel from cover to cover.

An excellent addition to the YA Dystopian Fiction

Author's engaging narration kept me on the edge of my seat! Eagerly awaiting Push audiobook!
