Publisher's summary

The day of judgement has arrived.

Chaos and devastation reign once more, but this time, they are wielded by a single man with just one goal—power.

To gain it, he will do whatever it takes, no matter the cost.

For the citizens of Redemption there are only two options, submit or die.

The choice is an easy one for most, but some will not get to make it. Some will be struck down even before the first bullets are fired.

This is the end that has been a long time in coming. With fear, sadness and pain in their hearts, Callie, Drake and the others must face it together.

Who’ll win?

They’re about to find out.

Is this the end for Redemption?

Salvation is ramping up their efforts to destroy Redemption. Will Redemption answer the call with bravery or will they succumb to the power of Bucks? Christopher keeps us guessing on how this will end. Kim gives the characters life with her talents. Great series. I am sad it is finished.

wonderful

I love how this book ends. this one keeps you guessing until the very end though.

Who has the Power?

Christopher Artinian has done it again! How can one book make you laugh, make you cry, make you want to give someone a hug and make you want to off someone while reading the pages?

Callie and the other citizens of Redemption are preparing for the worst: an attack by Salvation guards working at the behest of one man on a power trip. Little do they realize that this attack might come from ordinary people just like them who are only doing his bidding in an attempt to save their family members. When some of the characters I have come to know and love are killed, I railed against the unfairness of the whole situation! Even though these are fictional characters in a book, I feel like they have become my friends as I follow their journey. Be sure to have some tissues handy while reading this one!

The book is full of Mr. Artinian's trademark witty dialogue, great characters and a bit of education along the way. Of course, there is plenty of action and terrifying moments as beloved characters put themselves in danger at every turn. I truly enjoy the growth and character development in this series, turning some truly evil people into someone you would love to get to know as they discover their true selves.

I especially enjoyed all of the spy-type references as characters are revealed to be part of a rebellion within Salvation. The descriptions of how messages were passed were truly unique and entertaining.

As always, the narrator, Kim Bretton, has brought this book to life. Her individual voices for each character really moves the story along at a fast pace and her performance adds a lot to an already great book.

Mr. Artinian has created a plausible world, filled with great characters. This book has plenty of action and is filled with emotion. I highly recommend this one to anyone who enjoys post-apocalyptic fiction (or just a great story!).

Power Part 2

Loved this audio book by Christopher Artinian. Another interesting installment in this amazing series. It was sad to lose so many, but how this book rapped up was very satisfying! It feels like this is the end, but I sure hope not!

Loved it

Another stellar addition to the series
When the settlement gets infiltrated, they must devise a plan in order to maintain freedom once and for all
Kim’s narration never fails to enhance your enjoyment
Consistently entertaining I can’t recommend Chris’s work more 5stars

Yet another great installment

I really enjoyed this installment of the series. I think, minus the sadness, this one was one of my favorite endings. I like when things are tidied up in a nice little vow. 🙂 Kim did an awesome job narrating.

Amazing as always!

Love this series so much. Christopher is amazing at writing interesting characters and making you love them all. They are brilliantly smart, loving, sarcastic and fun. You want them as your friends.
The people are uprising in the bunker and some of these struggles and fighting to survive may come to an end. This could easily have been the last in the series but I hope it’s not. Phil is still young favorite character and I love how much he has grown.
Kim Bretton is my favorite narrator.

Had to listen twice!

I didn’t like the grief… no one is safe.
My heart was in my chest so often, had to listen twice because there was so much going on.
So many angles and surprises.
You’d think considering I had already read, I wouldn’t have been as shocked.
Kim smashed it again.
Looking forward to being back with Callie and the crew soon.

This review is voluntary, the praise is earned.

wow

thank you so much. amazing story. I appreciate your time writing this. it was well worth the journey.

Absorbing Thrill Ride

I was so captivated by the events in this story that I listened to the audiobook in one sitting. I admired the way the characters were written as my imagination was so drawn into this story, that I felt the characters' pain as they coped with their struggles and their losses. I liked the underlying theme which Callie summed up in one of her persuasive speeches. I thought Kim Bretton's narration added a depth of emotional appeal with her expressive performance. I was gifted a copy of the audiobook. I volunteered, without financial gain, to post this review which included my honest opinions regarding this story.
