Publisher's summary

It is the mid 21st century. The world is recovering from what scholars will refer to as the “Jihad War”.

Nations of the world united to bring a permanent end to radical terrorism. The unification of the nations has also given birth to the popular concept of a governing “World Union”, in which the United States intends to be a major player. The timing could not be any better. A presidential election year is on the horizon and a faceless rouge element is committed to having one of their own in the White House.

There were extreme losses of life and property in the concentrated battle theater of the middle east.

The leading nations of the world emerged victorious over the oppressive extremists that threatened the civil and moral fabric of modern society. The high price of victory was unavoidable.

Nuclear weapons were used in order to bring the destructive war to an abrupt end.

The United States found itself as the sole military and financial leader of the world's war against the radical terrorists. The war's length lasted far beyond what had been predicted, diminishing many of the United States resources specifically, it's wealth. Bringing the proud nation to the brink of bankruptcy.

Radiation from the nuclear weapons contaminated 85 percent of the water supply in the middle east and large amounts were now being detected in the Atlantic Ocean.

A private and well-funded individual has been anticipating a catastrophe such as this, and has spun a web so delicate, it's victims don't realize they are trapped until it's too late. She has assembled the best minds in order to develop a device that would instantly purify polluted and contaminated water.

However, this device is not being developed for humanitarian reasons. It is being developed for wealth and power. Not for an individual, but for a nation...the United States of America.

I throughly enjoyed this action-packed murder mystery audiobook. it is gripping and fast paced. There are many twists and turns, easy to follow and brilliantly narrated by the talents of Whitton A. Frank. She is able to fluidly flow from one accent to another. The storyline is original and complex. I am on to listening to the conclusion in the next book.

Neptunes chalice

I enjoyed this book, part political, science fiction, and YA. The ending definitely leaves you hanging. Cannot wait to read the next one.

Sci-fi and political thriller

Neptune’s Chalice is a mixture of science fiction, political thriller, and YA romance. The story is very good, with startling surprises at the end. I am assuming there will be a sequel to tie up some dangling storylines.The narrator has very clear enunciation and handled all the characters very well.
