About this listen
America is Gone. It’s 2003 and American forces are assembled in Kuwait for the invasion of Iraq. In Paris an assassin wakes from a coma, in the Cascades a lone hiker watches a plane fly into a mountain and just north of the Equator a modern-day pirate, a rogue-Tasmanian, is witness to the unspeakable.
In one instant an inexplicable wave of energy has changed the world. From Canberra to Cairo things will never be the same. As the jihadists celebrate, Saddam plots revenge and the Israeli’s act, allied soldiers are left to fight a war without command. The functioning remnants of American government are left at Pearl Harbour, Guantanamo and in one desperate and isolated corner of the Pacific Northwest. A noxious waste darkens Europe’s skies and Australasia beckons as a sanctuary. An unknowable future struggles to be born.

Narrator from Hell
Worst Australian accent imaginable,with his British attempts almost as pathetic.How can British born Aussie Birmingham live with such mediocrity?

Good, but spoilt by narration.
The story was exciting and full of well thought out, interesting characters, however the narration almost destroyed any pleasure gained. I think Mr Weiner should seriously consider going to accent school.

I enjoyed the story and the premise of something unknown shaping the various characters and their actions.
I did want to better understand the origin of the wave as I think it would have painted a better picture of the challenges faced by characters.

Great story
I enjoyed the storyline and the different characters. The narrator was good but struggled with accents. His English accent was poor and I cringed everytime an Australian character spoke, but otherwise it was very enjoyable.

Should be a Hollywood movie
I love this story; the performance needed work. For example, checking pronunciation: Diamantina is Die-man-tina.

Narrator really struggles
Others have commented on the poor accents (worst Aussie accent EVER), but simple pronunciations were also in error, eg SYSOPS pronounced "sigh-sops" and "tumult" as "tummult" ... very distracting!!
