Apocalypse: The Plan

By: Gary Chesla

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

When Mike Hodges and his friends decided one night on a whim to join the Army, they could have never imagined how their lives would change. As things worked out, their joining the Army didn’t have anything to do with what was to happen, but it did give them an insider’s view of what was soon to begin. They always knew that with the state of the world, with climate change, over population and worldwide starvation, with the fact that no one was able to get along with each other, that if something didn’t change civilization would one day implode. However, when the world began to be destroyed all around them, they couldn’t believe what they saw happening. As they watched the world fall apart, they soon realized that what they were seeing wasn’t just some horrible series of random events, there was a method to the madness. Someone was executing a mad but a deliberate plan. But who would be so crazy to do what they were seeing? Wilson, the UFO fanatic, of course said it was an alien conspiracy. Mike, the levelheaded member of the group, believed it had been caused by government incompetency. Both found compelling evidence to support their point of view, but they also doubted that they would live long enough to know for sure who was right. But thanks to the memories of a childhood adventure, they found a way to survive long enough to see the truth unfold before their very eyes. The only question was, in the end, would they be able to live with the answer they found?

The plan

Not bad. The virtual voice takes some getting used to but I made it. Decent storyline and characters. I enjoyed listening.

Suggested listening age should be 12-17 yrs old.

I really wish Audible would have a suggested listener age rating system with these books. I can’t remember how many books I have picked up that were written for/by 15 year olds. I not knocking teenagers. But as an adult I can’t listen to the stories. The complexity of the characters and story are overshadowed by the teeny bopper shows my 11 year old watches. She would enjoy this book maybe. The best thing about this title is usually the worst thing for this type of content - it was the computer generated voice.
