Any additional comments?

This audiobook was a great introduction to the sci-fi genre- I was so impressed by this story! To start off, the author does a great job of narrating the audiobook- he is clear and easy to understand. There is also a bonus in the audible version of the book that you’ll have to download to find out! The plot of this story was awesome- it was fast moving, engaging, and intriguing. I listen to my audiobooks in the car and I wanted to drive around for hours just to finish this story. There were so many twists and turns and I was shocked at how original this story was. It was so well developed that somehow the reader can almost imagine these events actually happening. The characters were perfectly developed and relatable. If you like science fiction and politics, this is the book for you! I’ll definitely be recommending this book to family and friends.

Even better with audiobook!

I love when the authors are the narrators because they know exactly how they want the story to be told. I already read the book, but listening to it made me fall in love with Bretta all over again!

Richard has an amazing book on his hands, and I found his voice very soothing which really goes with the book. I felt the characters came alive.

Any additional comments?

The author builds his characters very intensely to make them and the story very relatable to its readers. Considering Richard A. Stephen spent a lifetime of his career doing legal work he holds such authority when writing the book. This is evident when tackling the characters Bretta and President Elizabeth Schaefer. The plot of the story is set in 2027 where there are over 200 refugees seeking asylum on earth from another world. The reader’s imagination is then beckoned to explore such a possibility. I think that there is going to come to a time in the world where such occurrences would take place.

Really Enjoyable and Thought Provoking.

What made the experience of listening to The Secret Executive Orders the most enjoyable?

Who was your favorite character and why?

I have just listened to the audiobook of The Secret Executive Orders and remain stunned by the realism of what can really happen here on Earth in the not-too-distant future. I learned so many real scientific and historic facts in the context of a love story mixed with political and legal realities. Refugees coming from another solar system with both dire warnings and the means of survival for the human race while the President keeps a space military defense a secret from the world? Wow. The strong female roles of the first woman President and the resolute yet vulnerable Bretta are unlike anything I have encountered. The bonus assuredly not found in print were songs from a soundtrack that eerily dovetailed with the story. A must listen for audiobook lovers of science fiction with a crossover of politics, romance, history and science.
