Publisher's Summary

During a national emergency, a liberal Marxist-leaning political leadership takes absolute control of the United States. Martial law is declared and elections are suspended. This leadership morphs into a complete Communist-style government. All dissent is brutally repulsed.

Two young university students, Peter Blake and Natalie Biriukova, become active leaders in the resistance movement. They soon fall in love. In time they are targeted by the government and forced to go on the run. A feared and notorious Compliance Officer, Nicholas Snoopczech, is hot on their trail. He is hated and feared by Americans, especially those who are brave enough to oppose big government.

The underground resistance network sets in motion a plan to move Peter and Natalie across several states to a mysterious sanctuary, where they are to meet "The Phantom". The Phantom occupies a beautiful "haunted" southern style mansion located in the hills of southeast Kansas. Contradictory to this plan, the people they encounter on their journey warn them to avoid The Phantom. The mystery that surrounds them is, "What is 'The Phantom', and can it really be trusted?" As Peter and Natalie resist the government and run for safety, will the whippoorwill keep them safe?

Political suspense

Run to the Phantom is a political thriller that was intriguing to listen to. I like the narrator whose voice was perfect for this book. I received this audio book at my request and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

A story with no clear point to make

The intro is a dead giveaway that this book has all the potential to be bad. "If my son can write so can I", come on... I would be offended if I was the son. I'm sorry for being so forward, but it's how I see it.
The story could be interesting, being about the communists overtaking America, but in my view it fails completely.
Instead of giving some political pros and cons, it only gives some christian moral empty speech.
The story ends up being about a couple of teenagers that run from the government to the resistance hideout.
The phantom and bird song symbolism reminded me of Hunger Games, but that's all...
We an't even understand why the couple is so important to begin with (even though, every man and women count, I guess).
Anyway, not worth the time in my view.
The narrator was ok, only the music in the beginning was in the way a bit.

Run to the Phantom

Run to the Phantom is my first political fiction read such as this, but it didn't disappoint. The author does a fantastic job of portraying what life could be if such things were to actually happen and the government implement martial law.

I received this audiobook from the author/publisher/narrator in exchange for an honest review via Audiobook Boom.

A thriller

Any additional comments?

This audiobook is a mystery/thriller. It kept me listening because I wanted to know how it ends. Very good narrator too.
