By: James Wesley Rawles

Narrated by: Phil Gigante

Length: 8 hrs and 51 mins

Publisher's summary

It’s the near future, and thanks to a perfect storm of reckless banking practices, hyperinflation, a stock market gone mad, and the negligence of our elected officials, the entire social, political, and economic infrastructure of America has collapsed. Chaos reigns in the streets, medical treatment is no longer available, and a silent coup has placed a dangerous group of men at the helm of a false government.

America’s fate is in the hands of those few individuals who have the survival skills, the faith, and the forethought to return this country to the state its founding fathers intended.

im not saying this is a bad bad book ,but!

If you’ve listened to books by James Wesley, Rawles before, how does this one compare?

not as good. a little heavy on the christian zionist message

Have you listened to any of Phil Gigante’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

just as good

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

yes

Any additional comments?

like all of the books in this series ,founders gives us great lessons on how to survive the COMMING ECONOMIC COLLAPSE AND WORLD WAR.rawles mixes survival tech with a great story. heres my problem with the book. in the previous books the zionist christian themes were there ,but not so pronounced.this book kinda made me feel like he possibly hung out with a few neo cons that still thought 19 men in caves made 3 buildings fall in their own foot print with only two air planes and that there was a massive islamic threat looming over the hill ready at any time to come steal our women and convert by the sword.this really got bad at the end of the book when you find out what the world looks like in 100 years .i first thought the revolution would be more libertarian ,less interventionalist .but the message i got at the end of the book was, the world went on the same way, only a little more earth friendly and monitarily sound.i suggest that rawles re reads the works of the founding fathers .im not saying this is a bad book, but i would of hoped it would of ended up a little more ron paul ,gary johnson and a little less rush limbaugh ,shaun hannity!

Good Novel, horrible performance.

The book was good, but the performance was hard to listen to. They should have kept the original narrator for the first two books.

Copy and paste

I enjoyed reading half this book the first time in Patriots. I feel like half the book was just a copy and paste from His first novel Patriots.

Incredible!

One part of story of the coming collapse in the US. The books in this series are semi simultaneous in their actions and timing. The ups and downs, character empathy and hope I felt made this book an all time favorite.

Another very interesting book.

This has been my third book in the series, they are all wonderful. Can't wait to read the next one.

Informative Story

This book parallels 'Patriots', but is told from the perspective of one of the other characters. It got me thinking about all the various aspects of preparedness: Proper location, communications , weaponry, food storage, bartering, fuel storage, i.e., pros and cons of gas vs.. diesel, photo voltaics, and the mental preparedness required to sustain oneself over a period of years.

dejavu from rawles

if you've read one of rawles books you've read them all. righteous Christian characters utilizing fashionable guns from the 1990's (hk91 & colt 1911 gold cups) to defeat the UN. always an economical collapse.

Too much Brand Details and WAY TOO MUCH RELIGION

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I guess the storyline was good but the brand names for everything just showed that the author was hell-bent on showing that he was well versed in names for everything instead of just saying "gun" he named all of them with what type of ammo they took.....who the heck cares. Not me.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

was ok

What three words best describe Phil Gigante’s voice?

The reader was ok...shoukd leave out trying to do a female voice. It took away from it bigtime.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

I would cause the story line was good and Im sure hollywood would make sure that the religious in your face stuff was out as well as the brand names for everything prepper LOL

Any additional comments?

I would pass on this one.

Excellent, just like the novel.

What made the experience of listening to Founders the most enjoyable?

The performance was excellent with great sound quality.

What about Phil Gigante’s performance did you like?

He has a good steady voice, a true professional.
