Publisher's summary

The President of The United States is dead. There is no Vice President to take his place.

As the nation slips into a constitutional crisis, a small, secretive group conspires to violently seize power.

They have the will. They have someone on the inside. And they have the explosives.

Standing in their way is a woman who knows their intentions. Can she stop them in time? If she does, will it matter?

Good political thriller

I look forward to the next novel in A Political Conspiracy series. Sedition is packed with action and suspense. It is not strong on character development. The story is about presidential succession when the VP pick has been made and approved by Congress, but has not been sworn in when the US president suddenly dies. Who should replace the dead president, the VP nominee or the Speaker of the House? It is an interesting question made more important by the House Speaker's determination to claim the presidency. Narration is superb.

No vulgar language.

Again, nice to listen to a book without vulgar language. I'm a long term listener from now on.

A Good Start!

Any additional comments?

I liked this book. It was easy to listen to and it kept my attention. I'm use to listening to stories that have a central character that you follow throughout. Not always a hero but a main person of interest with all other characters coming in and out of the story. Sedition is not like that. I couldn't really attach to any of the characters. I'm thinking it's on purpose and is more like an introduction to book 2. I will definitely listen to book 2 with the hope that the characters will be more of individuals with depth. The narrator Kevin Pierce is great as always. I gave the overall a 4 rather than a solid 3 because the second book is already out. I definitely recommend this book.

Intriguing and Entertaining

Any additional comments?

Even though this a fictional political thriller, it's scary to think of what actually goes on inside the government given some of the things you hear about.

An interesting political thriller full of suspense, deceit, murder and betrayal woven into a complex, well written, entertaining and engaging story about a conspiracy concocted by a group that calls themselves the Daturans to usher in a new government order. Current events are referred to as to why they want a change in government. They want control and are willing to kill in order to achieve their goal.

I really enjoyed that there are actual facts woven into the story about how the government works. No matter how small a fact or piece of information, I always enjoy a story even more when I learn something new.

Kevin Pierce does a fantastic job with the narration. Great character voices. Both male and female. His narration flowed smoothly and was clearly spoken. He has a talent for making the characters and stories come to life. I have never listened to a book he has narrated and been disappointed.

A Thrilling Political Thriller

Sedition is a political thriller, and I found the book fascinating and wonderful to listen to. The story follows the lives of several people during a political crises unlike any we have seen so far. A president is dead, and a group is trying to take control of the government.

I found the book riveting and easy to follow. I liked the short chapters as it made it easier to listen to and pause if needed. I found myself sometimes confused on the differences when chapters jumped from person to person on perspective.

The narration by Kevin Pierce was also top notch.

Wets my appetite for the next installment

I received the audible edition free & had already been thinking about getting it because I enjoyed the Traveler series by the same author.

Many twists & turns in the story & I enjoyed how they were presented. I also enjoy the narrator. I've heard him read a number of other books & his voice is perfect for the political thriller and similar genre.

Great Start to Another Great Series

What made the experience of listening to Sedition the most enjoyable?

First of all this audiobook was given by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Boom. This was the second series by Tom Abrahams that I have thoroughly enjoyed. Sedition weaves a tale of political conspiracy with references to current events that make this story a book I couldn't stop listening to. Kevin does a great job of telling the story as the Narrator.

What other book might you compare Sedition to and why?

Sedition reminds me somewhat of American Exit Strategy by Mark Goodwin. Both are tales of individuals force to take control of the American Government after a catastrophic event.

Which scene was your favorite?

My favorite scene from the story was the art opening and its hinge point in the storyline. It could have made the storyline go several ways.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Also enjoyed the epilogue where the character of Maddie comes to a realization about her mother that had taken her years to get to.

Any additional comments?

Can't wait for book two to be released to find out what happens with this cast of characters.

It was ok....

I love Tom Abrahams work.
Kevin Pierce is my favorite narrator & he never disappoints.
These things being said I wasn't blown away by this one. I wasn't invested in any of the characters. Not even Miss Howard. Still I think it would make a great movie! I do feel like this one stands alone so I don't feel the burning need to hurry up & get the next in the series.
I did learn a few things like I always do with Abrahams works. Reading or listening to his books always makes me feel smarter. Lol

The story was conceivably realistic in the fact that I feel it could happen.
Will I recommend this one? Probably not.... But I will others by Abrahams.
