Outstanding

Really great book. We need more books like this as a podio book.

Even though it is a novel it does have some good information in it. People should pay attention to what could happen.

Highly Recommended

I found the 'podcast novel' most enjoyable, listened to the entire book over a three day period. I see the author had stop podcasting the follow-up book, Insurgent, I would like to see him return and complete the work he started. It is a worthwhile project.
