The premise of this story is interesting. The author had a good opportunity to flush out a interesting/fairly unique storyline, Unfortunately the author chose put forth his agenda for Christianity. I found the preamble to the chapters very interesting and for the most part integral. The chapter preambles consist of quotes from the Bible. I found them to be (for the most part) credible to the story. But, references to going back to church, getting in touch with God, and finally public education as a vehicle for putting forth a communist agenda was just too much to handle. A good story, a good premise, pretty good writing, Unfortunately, with an agenda on the authors part, and Audible mis-classifying this as Ssci-Fi & Fantasy, Post Apoctalptic book. This book should be classified as a Christian, Apoctalptic, Post Apoctalptic book. The book in several parts made me uncomfortable but the premise & writing were interesting enough that I continued reading. At 3 hours and 19 minutes remaining, I could not go any farther when public schools are equated to “Communist training camp”. At that point the overwhelming feeling of an aggregate Christian agenda and that statement became waaaay to disturbing. I felt overwhelmingly manipulated. BTY, finally, as the wife of a multi state/federal agency undercover I can honestly say that the author SERIOUSLY needs to work/research family interactions/reactions of undercovers. The closest familiarity would be multi-deployment/special opps soldier families. That reality does not line up with his storyline or agenda.
