Thrive

Publisher's Summary

Would you choose peace over truth? 

How long could that peace last?  

The citizens enjoy the peace of their perfectly planned city. But when she notices cracks in the facade, Jordan’s waking dreams turn to nightmares.   

She thought she had received the promotion of a lifetime; she was wrong. The promotion only brings her closer to terrifying truths of the administration.  

Secrets told to keep the citizens safe turn out to be lies to keep them in line. Those in power manipulate from the shadows behind whispers and fear.   

Because if Jordan is brave enough to look past the veil, a mad wasteland awaits.  

Now, for any chance at survival beyond the wall, she must create implausible alliances. Time is short. Hope exists. And the truth could be even more shocking than she expected.  

Full of the fast-paced, insane ride found in Nicholas Sansbury Smith’s Hell Divers and the twists and turns in A.G. Riddle’s Atlantis Gene.

Wasteland adventures

What can I say? I love this author! I don’t usually read much sci-fi but this author really makes it interesting. Readers of urban fantasy and sci-fi will both love it. I loved the main character Jordan. She had a good head on her shoulder and wasn’t afraid to go the extra mile for people. It was a really scary place outside the city gates. Something no one expected. I kept thinking I was inside a video game and running for my life. I just knew there was no escaping the tickers. But this bunch did a great job. I was sad when we lost some of the ones we met, but that’s how it goes with any battle.

The narration was superb! Loved it!

Easy and Fun Listen

When I got this book, it was on the strength of Mark Boyett and Suzy Jackson's narration. Mark does most of B. V. Larson's narrations and Suzy did one of Brandon Sanderson books. So, I knew the narration would be terrific.

The story is fast paced with a very interesting premise. At the time of this review, there are only 13 ratings and I hope this story catches on. This is my effort to help it along. I will also write a review of the next in the series, but for now, this is a very strong start and Yanez clearly has talent.

Great adventure with Awesome Narrative

First off I have to let you know that the narrator's Mark Bogart and Suzy Jackson did one fantastic job in bringing to life the story. I am excited to be able to listen to a fantastic story. Jonathan Yanze has not disappointed in this story. One of bravery, which shows how you can always push your self to do what you may have been afraid to do. This makes this story awesome.

A slow Starter but Intriguing

This story sounded quite interesting so I was a little thrown when almost half of the time was setting the scenes and history.
Once I got past this then I soon settled into Intriguing listening as the adventures of a new type of society was born.
Without too many spoilers the main character has ambition but also loyalty and character and nearly everyone else takes a small part but the basis is very good and I'm sure the follow up will build on a lot of this excitement.
Both narrators were new to me but did good jobs if it did take me a little while to settle to their styles and I would check their work out again.
Overall this Audio was worth a listen ,if not as fast paced as i would like as I have seen from the author in the past.
4 Stars solid .
