THE EXODUS

by David Fairchild

Narrated by: Jacqueline Rendell

Production by: Four Doors Publishing LLC

A New World - Be Kind or Else!

This is a story about people identified as “undesirables” or “different.”  What happens when the United States deems them as unacceptable – too old, mentally different, or vocally opposed to the current government?  The world is run by the elitists who keep the “undesirables” down and keep the remaining people oppressed in one manner or another. 

Add in a Cartel run by Salvo; the underground cities where everyone deemed unfit elsewhere are eagerly welcomed and given a place to succeed provided, they are honest and upfront.  There is no room for bullies, thieves, or liars.   Mix in two young girls with a mission – finding their mothers in the underground cities regardless of whom they must kill to get there. 

The author, David Fairchild, does an excellent job of creating characters that fit perfectly into this world.  He methodically builds each character and situation giving the listener a front-row seat throughout the story.  I have to say, he had my attention in less than 90 seconds into the story.  I had to keep listening to hear where he was going to take me.  This book is a truly action-packed story.

This is an epic-length story that is packed full of action, intrigue, and nail-biting moments.  I loved how Fairchild would constantly build different situations for each character enhancing the plot only to throw in a twist at the last minute that was out of the blue but perfect! Let’s just say … keep the marbles away from your children if you happen to upset them!  Fairchild is very creative!

The narrator, Jacqueline Rendell, is perfect for this book.  She gives a performance that allows the listener to keep the characters straight, gives each character their unique voice, and builds on their attitudes/personalities.  She speaks smoothly and with the right amount of inflection.

Overall, this is one of those rare books that will keep you on the edge of your chair and give you moments of introspection.  You will not be able to put this audiobook down.

There were no issues with the quality or production of this audiobook, it was clear and well produced.
