New Kings of Tomorrow

Palace Program Series, Book 1

By: J.M. Clark

Narrated by: Kevin T. Collins

Twenty years ago, Jacob lost everything. Just as he was starting to figure out life as a college freshman, his world was suddenly shattered when a devastating illness destroyed the world he once knew and claimed the lives of everyone that mattered to him. Jacob and the other survivors of the pandemic were transported to the Palace Program.

Housed in a quarantined modern facility, the Palace is a perfect community designed to protect them from the sickness that wiped out 95 percent of the world population. The Order, which has risen as the new ruling power, believes the desires of the old world were responsible for its collapse. They appoint Sirus, the program director, to rehabilitate the survivors and continue with the reproduction of mankind.

As the years go by and Jacob's relationships in the Palace become more complex, he slowly begins to see that the man-made utopian society is nothing close to a perfect tomorrow. It is instead an unfathomable deception.

I didn't make it far.

After a few chapters, I allowed myself to accept that this was more of a college project than a presentable book. the story may have ended up being interesting,but the generic metaphors and unrealistic language kept me from finding out.
