About this listen
In the not-too-distant future, the United States loses its status as a world Superpower. With the military cut to a barebones level and American leaders focused solely on the nation's internal struggles, the door will open for new powers to emerge on the world stage. In the wake of this power vacuum, China and Russia begin to flex their military muscles and expand their dominance in the world. They have the most up-to-date technological innovations ready for battle: railguns, unmanned drone tank vehicles, exoskeleton suits, and cyber warfare.
Setting the Stage: The border of India and Pakistan has long been one of the planet's most precarious ticking time bombs waiting to explode, and when a scheme to agitate the tensions in that region is successful, it paves the way for powerful men to begin consolidating authority and start building an Islamic Caliphate. Extremists move from random attacks of violence to plots to take control of positions of political influence. America's usual ally against aggression, Europe, is weakened by economic decline; the U.S is facing this new threat without backup.
In these hazardous times, America will need strong guidance. Henry Stein, a new kind of leader, builds a new political party to lead the charge to bring the country back from the brink. His unconventional style is just what the U.S. needs in order to deal with the changing world balance of power and a worldwide Great Depression. As conflicts near and far began to plague the planet, will President Stein be able to prevent a third world war?

Just awful
Show an egregious lack of understanding of political, business, military operations. It's a knuckle-dragging, MAG A-hat-wearing imbecile's wet dream.

Like a terrible Tom Clancy
This book is poorly written. The narrative is slow and repetitive. The prose feels very clunky and the dialogue is inhuman. The great villain of this story is ISIS which now feels amusing and hysterical given their current state. It is however a little concerning how caricatured the non American characters in this book are, with the portrait of the Arab characters bordering on racist at points.
The narration was not bad, but he had little to work with in terms of the writing of the book.
I would recommend Ghost Fleet by P.W Singer and August Cole as better written, better researched and more engaging future war thriller
