Publisher's summary

Deep in the Nevada desert...

...lies a secret futuristic world.

Would Jack's technology save humankind?

It started with Jack's epiphany, but he feared it was a power too great. All around the globe, the oil reserves are dangerously low. Superpowers brace for battle over what remains.

Should Jack share his energy solution?

He thinks it's too dangerous.

The power potential is as important as Prometheus discovering fire and giving it to man. There must be a way to use what he knows, but he's conflicted. Maybe the brilliant mind of Mykl can solve the puzzle?

Mykl is five.

Is the answer worth the cost?

You'll love this Dystopian Science Fiction, because the world building is brilliant, the technology is fascinating, and the story keeps you turning pages. And don't be fooled...

...This isn't for kids.

Get it now.

Great Story! Relatable Characters! Fantastic Narration!

I had heard about this book several years ago, and never got around to reading it. Once I found out that it was available on Audible (my preferred medium) I downloaded it immediately.

This book takes place in the not too distant future and tackles some real problems that humanity will likely face. I believe it would appeal to both adult and young adult reader. I am usually very good at sorting out twists and turns in books and movies WAY before they show up, and this one got me a couple times. The story is great, the characters are relatable, and narration is fantastic.

I finished this book in 3 days (yes it's one of those), and will definitely be reading it again to see what I missed the first time around (now that all has been revealed). Can't wait to see what David Fleming has in store for us next

Great audiobook

I first read Prometheus effect when it was release in 2017 and I thought it was a great book especially for a first time author. Im now stoked that this audiobook has been released as it allows me more opportunities to experience this great story. The narrator was engaging and entertaining to listen to. I highly recommend this book to any Sci Fi fans looking for a good read!

Such a GREAT book!

This is a great book! I absolutely love the creative world, the advanced technology, and the amazing line-up of characters! I really wish they would make it a movie–this would be phenomenal on the big screen!


This author did a great job of weaving in everything I love about science fiction with everything I love about thrillers, and the cast of characters he created really captured my heart! I love that they were so easy to relate to, but yet not typical or boring in any way. 


Noah was such a fun bonus! Just wait, and you'll see! 


There are plot twists and turns, truly good people, bad apples, political intrigue, and a race to save humanity! This book has it all! I even had fun hating the bad guy–he reminded me of someone I know. 


The narration is excellent,  clear, and easy to understand at all times, even in a noisy environment! I was able to listen while in the shower and with the lawnmower running, without missing a word–that is always essential for me. Plus, the narrator's character voices made it easy to keep up with who was who, adding nuance and emotion in all the right places!

I have already listened to this book twice. I caught a lot of foreshadowing the second time through that, which made it even better! I adore those Easter eggs!
