Publisher's summary

War.... By the mid-21st century, planet Earth is consumed by it.

Nearly 250 years have passed since Earth was devastated by the Blight, an engineered super-virus responsible for wiping out humanity and leaving behind a toxic wasteland. Only by the benevolence of Sovereign Zeus did human beings survive. In Olympus, a floating city high above the blighted surface world, humanity thrives once more under his protection and guidance.

January "Winter" Winterton was formulated as a Purifier, a genetically enhanced soldier tasked with the divine mission to purify the surface world of the Blight and pave the way for the reclaiming of their beloved homeland. At only 19 years old, Winter has already proven to be one of the most proficient Purifiers of her generation—destined for Ascension to the heavenly realm of Elysium. But as her choices start her down an uncertain and dangerous path, she’ll have to discover where the lies end and the truth begins.

Experience the beginning of an epic saga. With protagonists you will love to love, antagonists you will love to hate, and a plot that will keep you relentlessly engaged, Winter's Fall is a dystopian science fiction novel you'll find nearly impossible to put down. The Winter Saga has only just begun. Are you ready to have your eyes opened?

Couldn't put it down!

I don't know what the prior reviewer was smoking but I couldn't put this down! I thought the narration was excellent, I love the story development and character development… It had me on the edge of my seat, it did slow down a little in the middle and then BAM!!! Twists and turns all throughout the book, the ending was certainly unexpected. I can't wait for more of this saga! The sound effects are also incredible and makes the story come alive!!!

Some of the worst writing I've ever read

River's can't write and neither can his co-author. So, double fail. If you stripped all the adverbs and adjectives from this book, it would be 25% shorter. Since I listened, I can't actually count the times that faces "twisted in ________" (fill in the blank) or faces "contorted in___________" fill in the blank.

Here are a few sentences I made up (because I refuse to go back and listen) that are typical of 15 hours of torture. Winter's face contorted in extreme confusion. Her heart was palpitating wildly in enormous terror and shock. She had a massive amount of difficulty comprehending what the tall, enormous figure standing before her was.

River's and his equally inept co-author seem to have been writing as if they were paid by the word...or page...like Kindle pays you...

The audio narrator was fine, but why a man is narrating when the main character is a woman, I don't know.
