About this listen
Martin Grey, a talented young lawyer, is taken under the wing of a secretive group made up of America's most powerful and esteemed black men. He's dazzled by what they have accomplished, and they think he has the potential to be one of them. They invite him for a weekend away from it all. But what he discovers, far from home, is a disturbing alternative reality which challenges his deepest convictions....

Critic reviews
"Amazing and unique." (Whoopi Goldberg)
"Smith has done something special here.... This story will resonate long after the last page has fallen." (David Baldacci)
I usually listen to audiobooks in the gym or while engaged in a hobby, eg spinning wool or sewing a quilt. This story was so intense that I had to restrict my listening to the gym as I wanted to listen carefully. But each time I stopped I was so worried for Martin & Anna I had to convince myself to go back to listening as I was scared for them. The thriller intrigue crept up on me stealthily and was gripping.
At 68 and previously a fan of thrillers and futuristic dystopian fiction, I now find myself preferring “up-lit” and happy endings. So I was pleased that the friends were sitting down to dinner together at the end but also wary of the cable man at the door.
The theme of racial anger and hatred is contemporary and real. The fact that Martin resolved not to live the rest of his life in fear is enheartening. I wish more of us resolved to do the same.
Thank you Dwayne Alexander Smith for a riveting read and a lot to think about.
