The Purge of District 89

A Grower's War, Book 1

De: D. J. Molles

Narrado por: Christian Rummel

Keep your head down. Do what you're told. It's easier that way.

Walter Lawrence Baucom is used to the troops that patrol Agrarian District 89. He grew up with the sight of Chinese and Russian soldiers, right alongside the American ones. They are the Coalition. "The Three Brothers", they call themselves. They claim that they are there to help. And he thinks that if he doesn't rock the boat, then they will never have a reason to break in his door and disappear him, like they did to his brother.

But when a Chinese captain is kidnapped by resistance members, Walter is suddenly thrust into a fight he never wanted. A fight where there are many sides, but very few allies. As things in District 89 quickly spiral out of control and the borders are closed by Coalition troops, Walter will have to make a decision: What is he willing to fight for?

His life? His freedom?

His family?

D.J. Moles does it again.

What made the experience of listening to The Purge of District 89 the most enjoyable?

D.J. Molles proves once again what a great storyteller he is. His themes tend to be post apocalyptic and although not entirely political, they do make you compare his stories to potential scenarios in our future based on current political trends and this is very thought provoking.

What did you like best about this story?

There are no cliches or redundant plot devices. This story, like all of his stories, keep you moving along, anticipating the next development. His characters, although heroic, are also vulnerable and aware of their own shortcomings. This makes the story, although fictional and based on a future we have not yet arrived at, very real.

What does Christian Rummel bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

In spite of his very distinctive, deep baritone voice, Christian Rummel has the ability to bring so many characters to life with a variety of voices from small children to young and old men and women.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The epiphany of the protagonist's realization that he had been living a lie his entire life until that defining moment when everything changed for him and he realized that he had to go to war against a corrupt system.

Any additional comments?

I would recommend any of D.J. Molles' books to those who enjoy action packed, post apocalyptic themed narratives.

A great story, definitely not a YA dystopia tale.

I quickly fell into this world and the convincing narration by Christian Rummel brought it to life. I binge listened to the three books in the series over the course of a couple of days and it made the yard work almost a joy.

Great story and excellent narration!

I couldn't stop listening D.J. Molles is very descriptive in his writing and Christian Rummel brings it all together with his Narration. I am a huge fan of typical s.h.t.f. novel's and this was a good break from that genre.

The Purge of District 89 is a look into dystopian future reminiscent of the Hunger Games series but with a feel of 1984 by George Orwell. You won't be disappointed!

I want book 2!

Great introduction novel. I'm finding myself incredibly invested in this story. D.J. hitting it out of the park again!
