Total Empire

A Garrett Sinclair Novel

By: A. J. Tata

Narrated by: Brian Troxell

General Garrett Sinclair undertakes a rogue mission in the Sahara Desert to thwart an international nuclear threat in Total Empire, an explosive thriller from A. J. Tata.

When Sergeant Major Sylvester “Sly” Morgan is killed on a mission, his daughter, Zoey, tells General Garrett Sinclair that her father's death wasn’t random. Morgan had recorded a high-level meeting between Chinese, American, and French diplomats as they spoke about a plan for a new global government.

The “Chinese-U.S. Partnership”, or CUSP, intends to combine the world’s two largest economies and militaries to usher in a new era of partnership and leadership. But China’s offer has a deadline and penalties for noncompliance. As a safeguard, China has five high-tech hypersonic glide vehicles armed with nuclear weapons orbiting the Earth ready to strike. When Zoey disappears in Africa, seemingly while in pursuit of her father’s killer, Sinclair and Dagger Team are caught off-guard as they scramble to catch up.

Without authorization, Sinclair takes Dagger Team into Dakhla, Morocco as he attempts to save his goddaughter’s life. With too many missions to complete and not enough information, Sinclair and team discover that the Chinese plan is nearly complete. As one nuclear glide vehicle misses Washington, DC but hits Loudoun County, Virginia, Sinclair’s mission in the Sahara is to stop the Chinese from using its ground based laser targeting system before they can more accurately launch the remaining four. Facing insurmountable odds and without support from his government, Sinclair takes his team into the maw of the Saharan death pit, the Eye of Africa.

Critic reviews

“The authenticity [A. J. Tata] brings to Total Empire is off the charts. A master of high speed political-military action thrillers, no writer since Clive Cussler has so completely transported me to exotic locales or made them seem so believably dangerous.” —Robert Crais, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Racing the Light

The realization of the story and the system

The detail, accuracy and emotions conversations seemed very real like it was truly happening now

Sci far more than fiction

Book had some really solid foundations about hypersonic warfare and how quickly things can go sideways and how greed can overcome people. However the fact of the French assassin only using his sword bordered on ridiculousness
In

Good story

Slow in parts but a worthy read in this series and the narrator was good at at series
And

More real than what we could guess?

Tata seems to be showing us what is really going on behind the scenes in govt.

Total Empire

The narrator was weak! Story , okay. I usually enjoy AJTata’s books, but this one not so much!
