A few short years from now, eco-terrorists unleash the worst attack the world has ever seen. Over 25,000 autonomous combat drones are released in Manhattan from the hold of a ship. Hundreds of thousands are dead, and the entire island is evacuated and quarantined in just a few days' time. Ten years later, Manhattan is still empty of humans, with the exception of the salvage specialists of the most watched reality show in history: Zone War. Produced live and unedited, the show follows five teams of armored vehicle specialists who brave the active drones to recover lost riches and collect bounties on dead ones. Ram it, slam it, grab the goods and bull your way back out. And don't break down, because no one will be coming to your aid. Armored entry is the way to go . . . Unless . . . Meet Ajaya "AJ" Gurung, sniper's son, drone technician and Zone infiltrator. Following his father's footsteps while forging ahead in ways all his own, AJ has the potential to be the most successful recovery specialist of all time. The drones are changing, the rules have been thrown out and nothing about the Zone is what it seems. Adapt or die.… (more)

A new Skynet

Very interesting world. The best part is I have no idea what direction the next book will go.

Near future combat drones, sniper training, A.I., Ghurka mythos, and a little bit of teenage lust. Add in some high level corporate intrigue and reality shows, and you have a real fun story.

I will buy the next novel as soon as it is released. ( )

Zone Wars by John Conroe and narrated by James Patrick Cronin is a start of a new futurist sci-fi series! Boy is it exciting! MY and surrounding area is destroyed by drone wars 10 years prior. Now there are drone left that shoot any people that are seen in the area. Some people try to sneak in to get loot supplies and they can keep them. A boy has been doing it longer than anyone! He has a secret and the military wants his secret! There is a reality game show with contestants driving in, stealing things, and driving out. The boy has been asked but won't do it, he won't give up his secret!
Great battles, interactions between characters, great plot, witty at times, love the world building, and unique characters! Can't wait to see where this takes the reader next!
Terrific narration as usual from this narrator! ( )
