Authority

By: A. K. Meek

Narrated by: Ray Porter

The aliens came. We won, but billions died. Now, it's time to rebuild.

The neons do as they're told. Chemically bound to their masters by the experimental chemi-chip implant created from alien technology, they are genetically engineered at rapid rates to be servants for the survivors of the war against alien invaders. Without neons, reconstruction would be impossible.

Colin Hanston - the unremarkable son of the genius who invented the chemi-chip - leads a simple life as a farmer, helping feed his district as any good citizen should. But when he redeems his voucher for a neon servant of his own named Michael, everything changes. His father’s old friend-turned-rebel shows up, and Colin learns that not everyone believes the neons are a simple commodity used by the Authority to fix the world and help prepare in case the aliens return.

Knowing he could be killed just for talking to the rebels, Colin will have to decide for himself whether his father’s work is truly a benefit to humanity as his leaders claim, or a perversion.

Is the truth worth destroying his father’s legacy and putting his family in danger? Is it worth dying for?

Don't miss this dystopian sci-fi thriller, perfect for fans of Hugh Howey, Jasper T Scott, and Paul Antony Jones.

Let Ray Porter tell you a story...

I really liked this story and I had no problem following the action-packed story lines... Initially, we learn about Thomas Hanston, Hero, genius, and martyr... and in alternate chapter's, we find Colin Hanston his son trying to cope with the world, and his father legacy. A legacy of legalized slavery, of a dystopic society run by the Authority! You'll wanna grab the book, and let Ray Porter tell you a story!

Don't question Authority

Didn't know what to expect though I'm pleasantly surprised. Taking place in the near future, the tech was something I could actually buy into with all the talk of robots and androids in the news. These neons could be appealing to some—terrifying to others. This is probably one of my favorite books this year.

A dystopian world that keeps you hooked

I really enjoyed Authority. It kept me interested to finish much faster than I do many books. It reminded me of Brave New world. The book follows two time periods, the alien invasion and aftermath, and the future dystopian society. What I really liked is it went through a progression showing how good intentions can be subverted. Authority is a great book that challenges the reader and I highly recommend it.

Great all around!

I really enjoyed this book. Great book and the best narrator! I highly recommend it.

Authority by A. K. Meek

The story holds your interest from beginning to end. I enjoyed the twists and lead changes. I would have liked to have seen more character development in the past scenes but not necessarily for the storyline. I would enjoy more books in the universe of grown slaves. I would recommend this book to read.
