About this listen

In 2032, there are more than five hundred billionaires worldwide. In 2033, there are none.

As a teenager, Quinn Starkweather builds a computer program that accurately predicts world events. He has created a Nostradamus machine.

While Quinn becomes very wealthy, the program predicts the world will be torn apart by financial inequity. The 99.9% will rise up against the billionaires in what is dubbed The Rage Wars.

The world stands on the razor’s edge of disaster. With enough warning of the coming apocalypse, Quinn builds an ark in the desert—a self-sufficient domed city he calls Altor.

The Fifteen, a powerful band of anarchists, revel in the world burning. They are intent on not just sabotaging Altor but destroying everything.

Can Quinn finish Altor before the Fifteen destroy not just it but the entire world?

Contains special note from the author.

I'm currently on book two, and I'm enjoying this series so far.
It's a little far-fetched, but it's very well-thought-out.
My only complaint is that the narrator's voice is a little "spittly" in places. He has a pleasant reading voice, but the occasionally wet noises are a little annoying.

Excellent

After listening to all the Alex Hawk audiobooks I was excited when I heard Inmon was writing some new stuff and this did not disappoint. I’m pretty sure there is a lot of connections between this and the Alex Hawk series. Well read and delivered by Vietor! Looking forward to book 2!

Entertaining!

An excellent and interesting story. A little different from other Shawn Inmon fiction I have read in that there isn't a main protagonist this is a series of events from different perspectives. some lovely Easter eggs if you have read middle falls and Alex Hawk. as ever left looking for the next one!

very engaging

This story is not what I was expecting, the number of side characters are ridiculous and not much about the city but wasted stories of outside dumb conflicts, funny to believe that society would collapse in less than a week and people would kill eachother so fast. rage wars... more like BLM and Eat the Rich bla bla

Mid at best
