Resumen del Editor

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.

Waiting for the next one!

I can see how some readers might regard this book as overly detailed and boring (and in truth some more editing would be very helpful) but I believe the author was setting the foundation for a solid new series with interesting characters and a compelling storyline.

good but difficult to get through

this one...was difficult to get through, however, primary means of telling the story was through the conversations everyone had, however, there was some action parts explained beyond conversational story telling, however the story progressed and I find I am satisfied when I finished it.

worth the time

I really enjoyed the story it is a bit long for an audiobook. would definitely recommend looking forward to seeing if the next one is out

somewhat of a slow start but worth it

I love most of Plan Thorensons work and this book was no different. I'm not sure why I thought it but for some reason I thought this would be book 2 after Justice. So that kind of threw me, but it's a good work.

good story

The story is a little slow to start but it's a good story. The characters are well developed and very likeable.

Couldn’t stop

I thought this was a different book when I got it. Decided to listen anyway… was pleasantly surprised! I usually only listen to audiobooks when I travel however I couldn’t stop I needed to know what happened. lol

Great Plot

Interesting and unique plot. The story has a lot more minutiae than most stories so it’s great for an audiobook.

the man can tell a story

Olan Thorensen can spin a tale that draws you in. Don't start this book in the evening, you'll be up all night.

Well crafted story

I enjoyed the way this book flowed. I cannot wait for book 2. This one ends on a bit of a cliff hanger.

And we're off on another great SciFi adventure!

I love long-form novels, especially ones like this that can so masterfully take us on an epic adventure. My biggest regret is that Olan Thorensen has only so many hours in a day when he can craft more of his engrossing stories. If you haven't read it already, I highly recommend his Destiny's Crucible series.

Don't worry about the negative reviews of this book - there are always naysayers who will whine if a story doesn't perfectly align with their politics. This author brings a lot of elements to his stories, and I especially appreciate his expertise in military and scientific topics.

I'm looking forward to the sequel.
