About this listen

The world has fallen, but life goes on…

In the late 2020s and early 30s, corporations managed to render the major governments of the world obsolete. The big corporations owned most of the territories as well as the majority of the world’s wealth. While many of the old traditions were still observed in various parts of the world, the true power was with the corporations.

In the late 30s, what would be known as the Corporate Wars began as larger companies initiated hostile takeovers in a whole new fashion. Employees, armed with corporate weapons, warred for dominance. It was a bloody time, and many small corporations were destroyed, as were a lot of civilians in the wrong place at the wrong time…and those who’d been buying the wrong products.

On May 1st, 2067, it all ended in nuclear fire.

Sixteen outstanding authors have come to this Fallen World with stories that take place from the islands off the coast of Washington to the plains of central Europe; from the swamps of Florida to the streets of Philadelphia. These stories document the fall and introduce you to people who might just drag civilization back from the ashes.

With stories by Chris Kennedy, Brisco Woods, Jamie Ibson, David Carrico, Kevin Steverson, Philip S. Bolger, Joseph Capdepon II, Alex Rath, David Alan Jones, Derek Shupert, Ian J.Malone, Jan Kotouc, Jon R. Osborne, Mark Wandrey, Marisa Wolf and Christopher Woods.

Phenomenal

This is an excellent entry to the series and Sets the Fallen World Universe up For the reader/Listener perfectly.
We get to see some people we're already familiar with going on new adventures & are introduced to a whole host of new, Exciting and Interesting characters from both obsidian, Teledyne & more...

later in the series some of the characters we meet in these short stories get their own entry and Full story. personally I love the concept of this. it's very exciting getting 10/11 glimpses into the universe from many different viewpoints within the runtime of one book.
and it was satisfying to listen to each of the subsequent books in the series and find some of them bring back characters we first meet here, for their own entry in the series.

My favourite stories were
1. spec sheys story.
2. King of the mountain.
3. bloody Monday.
4. Hippocratic oath.
& Getting to meet kade is always a wonderful time :) I can't wait until his full Book is released on audible.

there's another book in the same format as this later on in the series aswell, which is not currently on audible. Another Treat to look forward to!

Thankyou very much to all the authors & the narrator for another Fantastic job.

wasn't what I was expecting but I really enjoyed it. having lots of small story's that are different but follow simular lines was a good idea.

Good, but different

While the voice acting is great and stories are good. they are as short stories. They bring viewpoints from around the world.

But with them being short stories; they fail to push the narrative, as would be expected of a book marked as the 3rd in a series.

As far as I can tell this book is inconsequential to the overall narrative. But tries to help build the fallen world universe.

What it does do and does well, is to bring the personas from the imprinters, to the forefront and help give them personalities.
