The Initiation

By: Chris Babu

Narrated by: Tyler Posey

In a ruined world, Manhattan is now New America, a walled-in society based on equality. But the perfect facade hides a dark truth.

A timid math geek, 16-year-old Drayden, watches his life crumble when his beloved mother is exiled. The mystery of her banishment leads him to a sinister secret: New America is in trouble, and every one of its citizens is in jeopardy.

With time running out, he enters the Initiation. It’s a test within the empty subway tunnels - a perilous journey of puzzles and deadly physical trials. Winners join the ruling Bureau and move to its safe haven. But failure means death.

Can Drayden conquer the Initiation, or is salvation out of his grasp?

Another hunger/maze/divergent look alike. It was an easy listen. the end left me wanting more. predictable.

Oh. My. Goodness. I wasn't sure if I'd like this on but its one of my absolute favorites now. Tyler Posey gave a great performance and nailed the emotions perfectly.

hunger games meets NYC

was a good story. kept me guessing. look forward to the rest of the series

Great book, great narrator

This book was one of the best sci-books I have read/heard.
Tyler Posey’s does the book kindly; voice relaxing and acts as a familiar sound from Scott.

Thrilling!

Kept me wanting more. I can’t wait to listen to/read the next book in the series. Incredible story telling. Loved every minute!
