New World Orders
Edward G. Talbot
Read by Edward G. Talbot
In the nineteen-sixties, a group of wealthy men concludes that it's already too late to stop global warming from destroying the planet. But they have a plan to save themselves.
Twenty years later, Jack Crowley and Jim Patterson stumble onto the conspiracy, and every answer they find is accompanied by more questions - and more deaths.
Jack is a former idealist, turned cynical by his years working as a New York tabloid editor. But his enthusiasm returns as he looks into the work of a NASA scientist who tells Jack about cover-ups at the space agency. Jim is a detective with little patience for conspiracy nuts. But he hates loose ends, and is unable to let go of the inconsistencies in another suspicious NASA death. Soon, his investigation leads him to Jack, and they join forces.
As Jack and Jim dig deeper, they are targeted by the type of killers that don't usually miss. From Washington to Las Vegas to the Middle East, they manage to stay one step ahead of their pursuers in a race to expose the truth, and maybe, just maybe, save the world.

Great story and premise though could use some refinement in execution. Following is just some constructive criticism..I enjoyed the book overall. The jumping timeline was difficult to follow..this isn't a book you can just flip back a page..would be nice to have a few more clues about what time period ...

Thanks for the comments, everyone. Dave, we agree with you that the time jumping didn't work as well in audio form. We should have given more clues.The next book (out in Summer 2009 with luck) will pretty much be sequential after the first episode. We've gotten both very positive and ...

I'm in the middle of the story and it has got me! I love the way how fact, fiction and what could have been, are mixed together. The male voices are good, I liked Saddam's and George H.W. Bush's voice very much, but the female voice was from time to ...

I just finished this story - a bit late, but hey, better late than never? - and I must say that I really enjoyed it. Parts of it may have come off as a little cliche, but it was a story based around that, cliches and what ifs, so I ...

I truly enjoyed the story, very intriguing and I thing the cliches were simply part of the whole story line. My only real criticisms are regarding the narration. Much of the expression is over-dramatic IMHO, especially Uncle Tony in the first part. He sounds more like a cross between Rodney ...

I loved the story, and I would buy the book if there was one to buy. The narration killed me and I couldn't finish the story, even after the narration got better. The narrator would have done the book a service, by not trying to dramatize and simply narrate.
