About this listen

Unconnected lives intersect in a bleak setting. Nothing will ever be the same.

Harbinger (def.): Something that foreshadows or initiates a major change.

Humanity lurches into an uncertain future, dismissive of warning signs. Only the most naïve believe humanity will step back from the brink. Yet in a place that doesn’t exist, a riddle, a puzzle, hope, fear, danger, salvation - all come together.

Zach Marjek has faced death in the far corners of the Earth and survived where others have failed. Now, he's thrust into an unimaginable situation where jaded mercenaries, an Inuit wanderer, a murderous Yupik, a young mother, a video game designer, a retired general, a new president, a Chinese marine, and mathematics prodigies must come together. Their lives and fates intertwine to revolve around a mystery with consequences that could range from disaster to salvation.

As the mystery unravels, a danger unbeknownst to the players lurks and prepares to take what cannot be taken. The future - and life⁠ - hang by the thinnest of threads.

Another great book

I bought this book because I have LOVED his Destiny Crucible series. I really enjoyed this book and found myself wanting to listen whenever I had a spare moment. I didn't give it 5 stars because I will reserve that for books that I simple love. However, I would still thoroughly recommend it as a very good listen.

pleasant suprise

loved it, dont normally write reviews but ill be waiting eagerly for book2. the only downside i felt was the main character zach didnt have a lot of depth or development, there could have been a much more unique character instead of the generic super soldier. But thats trivial compared to how much i enjoyed every other aspect of the book.

Frustrating

This book was frustrating on many levels.
Although the overall plot was interesting the author seemed to be aiming for length rather than quality.
Additionally there were many holes in the story line and justification for storyline decisions were dubious at best.
Not sure i could put myself through book 2
