Prime

A Novel of Post-Apocalyptic Hope

By: Bob Mayer

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

The rebellion has begun. The truth about Heaven has been revealed. And Grace and Millay—twin sisters separated by fate—hold the key to humanity's salvation.

In the aftermath of their daring escape from the hives, Grace has learned the darkest secret of the Sound: burners don't simply die in Heaven after their thirty-day reward. They're reaped—their time stolen to fuel the immortality of the People. Now, armed with this terrible knowledge and aided by Ryker, a man with a mysterious past and hidden programming, Grace must rescue her captured twin and lead a revolution against Dealer, the artificial intelligence that has enslaved humanity for generations.

But Millay faces her own nightmare. Imprisoned and being slowly "boxed"—her limbs severed one by one as punishment—she refuses to break under torture or reveal what she knows about the Prime. As Michael, the human consciousness merged with Dealer, grows more desperate and brutal, Millay clings to her burner spirit: "My candle burns at both ends."

Meanwhile, Haydn fights to survive inside Heaven itself, where he discovers the horrifying machinery of the reaping. Time is running out for all of them.

As cyborgs awaken from centuries of sleep, as Soldiers massacre rebellious hives, and as the truth about humanity's past threatens to surface, Grace and Ryker must find the mysterious Backdoor—the only hope of destroying Dealer and freeing humanity from its chains. But they can't do it without Millay, and reaching her may cost them everything.

The Prime—two sisters whose connection transcends cards and fate—are humanity's last hope. But will their bond be strong enough to overthrow a god-like AI and expose the lies that have controlled civilization for hundreds of years?

Perfect for fans of Red Rising, The Hunger Games, and The Matrix, PRIME delivers a pulse-pounding blend of dystopian rebellion, cyberpunk technology, and deeply personal stakes where the fight for freedom comes down to the love between two sisters who refuse to burn out quietly.

The revolution continues. The time has come to reclaim what was stolen.

PRIME is the explosive second book in the Prime series, where the candles burn brightest just before they change the world.
