About this listen

His mind has been fractured for years. Now, he could be humankind’s only hope of stopping the end of our species.

Special Forces Captain Cade Rearden struggles to control the whispers in his head. Plagued by multiple personality disorder, he nearly spirals into insanity after extremists kill his whole team and hold him captive. Defeated but not broken, he can hardly believe it when an artificial intelligence named Doris rescues him and then recruits him for an impossible mission.

Pulling together a crack military team, Rearden must take down Janus, a rogue AI intent on launching a chain of deadly attacks on American soil. And the key to staying one step ahead of the enemy could lie in understanding and protecting the incredible knowledge that Doris possesses. Knowledge that didn’t originate here on Earth.

Can Rearden somehow control his internal chaos and the battles raging around him? Can he and his team prevent the genocide of the whole human race? The stakes don’t get much higher.

State of Chaos is the first book in the riveting Cade Rearden science fiction thriller series. If you like near-future technology, complex heroes, and high-octane action, then you’ll love JK Franks’ explosive adventure.

"Putting them out of their miseries."

A satellite station abandoned by people but with a still resident, watching AI, three signals over approximately two years which appear to be messages from space, a small group of children who find the satellite complex, and in Washington, a rogue AI who wants more...
State of Chaos is an high octane, fast paced thriller in which mankind itself is fighting for survival as two powerful computer based entities face up to each other. Numerous characters do not overwhelm the story and Cade Rearden, the lead figure from the series title, is but one - or perhaps several - of them is a soldier with multiple personalites, recruited to help the defence. It is a long book, lasting appropriately seventeen hours, but never tedius, even when DORIS is explaining technologies way over this reader's understanding.

In part, this was down to the narration by Lee Strayer, whose well paced reading carried the text with just the right input of expression, well modulated and with good, individual voicings of the characters. His pronunciations of some words were a little unusual but did not distract from the overall performance.

This was a most enjoyable and exciting read which felt frighteningly plausible. I was fortunate in being freely gifted with a complimentary copy of State of Chaos, at my request, by the rights holder via Audiobook Boom. Thank you so much. Cade Rearden is an unusual protagonist: not sure that I like him - but I look forward to meeting him again in the next of author J.K.Frank's new series. Recommended to readers who enjoy fast paced thrillers with plenty of action.
