The Castle

By: Jason Pinter

Narrated by: Troy Duran

Remy Stanton is an ambitious corporate strategist who intervenes in an armed robbery and saves two lives, but is nearly killed in the process. When he wakes in the hospital, he learns one of the intended victims was Alena Griggs, the daughter and sole heir of Rawson Griggs, a brilliant, brash billionaire - and one of the most powerful men in the world.

Rawson Griggs is about to announce a run for President of the United States, and he offers Remy a position in his campaign. Suddenly Remy finds himself thrust into the maelstrom of the most controversial Presidential election in history, where buried secrets and stunning acts of violence rock the nation. As his own star grows brighter, Remy finds himself drawn to the intelligent yet down-to-earth Alena Griggs, whose marriage is strained by the relentless pressures of fame and politics.

Yet as the revolutionary Griggs movement builds steam, shocking events cause Remy to suspect a dark undercurrent running beneath Rawson's campaign. When he discovers the full, disturbing truth, Remy will have to make a choice: stay the course, or jeopardize everything he cares about. Because politics is war. And nobody survives a war with Rawson Griggs.

Critic reviews

"A timely political thriller...the telling is skillful." (Publishers Weekly)

Great read

Good story line with a good pace that kept my interest peaked from beginning to end.

Very good! Too close for comfort!

Wow. A bit frightening considering what we’re going through politically. It spins like “You Know Who.” Definitely makes you pay attention.

Great narration!!!

a really good story. it basically attempts to mirror Trump's lifestyle, as main character and then adds a little over the top hilarious trait. Great ending to political conspiracy. Glad it was a free listen

Scary, in it's possibility

This is one story that will make you think. The amount of power one person can get, by camouflage and trickery. Promoting himself as one thing and making others "see and believe his view" is agonizingly horrific.

Excellent

I prefer fiction a lot when trying to escape but took a chance on this because it was included with membership.

Definitely could see similarities with the last election, but having it played out still makes me feel uneasy.

This was excellent writing, great plot. and the narration was fantastic. I really enjoyed listening to this and would recommend to anyone who enjoys political suspense.
