    About this audiobook

    When the storm breaks, no one will be able to stop it. In the future, the world is united under the power of a charismatic leader, and everyone gets "The Mark" at age thirteen. The Mark lets citizens shop, go to school, and even get medical care - without it, you're on your own. Few refuse to get the Mark. But those who have refused are fighting back. Logan Langly is the unlikely leader of the Markless revolution. He started out to find his sister Lily, who disappeared during her Marking pledge, but now he's fighting for much more. With the threat of a chemically manufactured plague that will potentially kill millions and a drought that is nearing critical mass, someone has to step in. But when Lily appears with a special mission for Logan, it's difficult to know if he can trust her. And with the weather becoming more and more unstable, a storm is coming that will put everything Logan and the Markless have worked for at risk...

      ORIGINAL REVIEW AT: LITTLE BOOK STARThat cover is freaking gorgeous. Just had to point that out. This book was such an awesome, fast-paced read. I seriously adore Evan Angler’s writing style. It is divided up into chapters like most of the books, but each chapter is divided up into sections with a number. This is only one of the reasons why this book and the first two books of the Swipe series stands out from the other ya dystopian books. Another thing is that the author made himself as a character in Storm and made his series part of the story. I was really surprised and I thought it was really cool because I’ve never read a book that had something like that.This is a dystopian world where everyone is supposed to be Marked. The citizens goes through a process, and they receive this mark on their wrist that keeps track of their identity, enables them to attend school, etc.. There are those who are Markless; they choose to avoid and oppose being marked. Some of these Markless, marginalized people are The Dust. They’re kids/teenagers who strongly disagrees with being Marked.At the beginning of Storm, we are re-capped with the characters which I appreciated because I kind of forgot who were the characters and what their personalities were like. The story switched off to many different points of view just like the other books, but it wasn’t confusing. It was probably switched 5 times but it is written in 3rd person point of view except when the author spoke. I was a bit sad that the book focused more on the villains than the main characters. I really love the Dust, which are a bunch of Markless kids that formed a group to rebel against Chancellor Cylis, but in this book, the spotlight wasn’t really on them.The only thing I didn’t like was it wasn’t really as action packed as the first two books. Storm had a lot of dialogue scenes instead of the characters going on a quest like they did in Sneak. There were a few twists though especially with one of the characters which I enjoyed. It was full of details and just not enough action. That’s what kept me from rating it a four.What I really loved about this book, besides the writing style, is that there was hardly any romance. YES! Finally! A book that didn’t focus on romance! The only romance part I guess is when the MC, Logan, was blushing. That was it. So if you’re looking for a dystopian read that doesn’t have that much romance in it, then I would highly recommend you reading this book. If you’re up for a new read, then I recommend this series to you. I would say that this series isn’t “one of those dystopians”. It’s a fantastic and refreshing read.

      What would you do when you realize that things are not what they seem? That is what happens to Logan Langly in Storm. This is the third book in the Swipe series. The Markless Revolution is ever present in the larger cities, which is calling out more and more IMPS (International Moderators of Peace). It seems that since the discovery of the army that was trained in secret, the Markless have been making their presence known. One of the Markless is Tyler, who is searching for his friend among the IMPS that are drawn out. He has not given up the search since arriving in Beacon in Sneak.Meanwhile, Peck, Hailey and Logan (all Markless) are trying to help Erin, who is Marked and is suddenly coming down with a high fever. Erin has done the research and she thinks that she has come down with Trumpet, a deadly virus which nobody has any idea about. This virus is only affecting the Marked. They are trying to find a cure for Trumpet before Erin succumbs to it. Erin is sure that if they contact the doctor who made the Mark vaccine, she will know how to help her. It has long been said that there will be a union between General Lamson and Chancellor Cylis (American Union and European Union, respectively) and this will create the Global Union with both of them at power. When you are Marked at age thirteen, you pledge to Chancellor Cylis. This has been ten years in the making. Now that this union is complete, will General Lamson and Chancellor Cylis agree with each other? Will Erin find out about Trumpet in time to save herself? What will happen to Logan, Peck and the other Dust members? Will the American Union survive the threats to them?I was really excited when I was asked to be a part of this book tour. I had previously done tours for Swipe and Sneak and really liked the series. Angler has a way of telling a story. He doesn’t give you information too quickly or too slowly. I LOVED how Peck found a copy of Swipe and was reading about them. That was hilarious. I also like how Evan Angler is supposedly part of the American Union and is recording their story.The characters are well developed in this book. I like how Logan is humble. He doesn’t really think he is the face of the Markless. He always tells Peck that he is. Logan is just a good kid who is trying to do the right thing. Because there are so many more characters and storylines, you don’t get as much of Logan’s inner dialogue as you did in Swipe.Overall, I love this series. It is one that I keep an eye on for the next release. I really like both Swipe and Sneak and had thought that this would be the last in the series, but Spark is rumored to be released in November. I cannot tell you how happy that made me. I was a little antsy going into Storm, because you never can tell if the “ending” of a series is going to live up to what it is in your mind. Storm didn’t disappoint and had just as much action as the previous two books. Even though this is categorized as religious fiction, it doesn’t overshadow the plot of the book. This series is a definite read!

      Storm by Evan Angler
      ? ? ?
      Cooper, a new boy in the story with a perfect academic score, is hurt because it has become clear to him that General Lamson made up his recent achievement award so that he could speak in secret to his parents, who are programmers at the weather mill. The weather mill ensures that the continent receives enough rain to produce food and combats the permadrought. Logan is locked up in Archeron, Erin, who now hangs with the Dust, is ill with the plague. Lily is selected to serve Chancellor Cylis in an important mission to ensure that it does rain, because it has become clear that General Lamson is trying to prevent that. In a race to the finish we find Logan sent off by his sister to ensure there is rain so that the markless don’t die of starvation, Erin and friends find the inventor of the nanovirus responsible for the plague she shouldn’t have because she’s been vaccinated to see if there is a cure.

      This is a good solid read, and no doubt my son will give this 4 or 4.5 stars. To get 5 stars it has to have far more rip roaring action, like Andrew Klavan’s series that starts with “The Last Thing I Remember” or almost anything by Anthony Horiwitz. He is 13, after all.

      Dude. I thought I was going to have a heart attack just reading this ridiculous book! I read the entire thing in a night and a day. NON STOP. Does anyone realize how long I've been waiting for this book?!?!?!With Project Trumpet on the verge of breaking out, Logan, Erin, and the Dust have to find a cure, as well as stop General Lamson's plots to destroy America for his own personal gain.I'm curious to know how much Angler has added to this as a novel, and what is really stated in Revelation. That book (of the Bible) is so interesting to read, but I have a great deal of trouble translating it from its riddles. I'm now more interested in what role the Beast plays in the coming Tribulation.This book. Where to begin? As I stated before, it sucked me in immediately. The suspense that held me was so terrifying, and the humor sprinkled throughout cracked me up! It kept me guessing through the entire thing and caused me to make audible noises of torture when something unexpected happened.Sometimes I wonder to myself, would a six year old kid named Rusty reaally be able to keep up with the Dust? Is this all accurate? Psssh. Realistic enough! If it were completely, you'd not get yourself a really book futuristic book, now would ya?Angler's writing style is amazing. You feel like, there you are, part of the Dust, part of this dreaded GU, hiding from DOME and the IMPS. You KNOW the characters. What they would do, how they act.... And his way of words in that his book is a tractor beam pulling you into its pages. It's the "One-More-Chapter" book.And Kudos to this guy for world-creation. Trust me when I say, it's Hard to write in the future. Even when you got the Bible outlaying much of it (ie Marks, epidemics, one-world government), you still have to come up with tech, politics, culture, architecture ...The list goes on. All the while, when writing a Tribulation book, you've got to do tons of research in Revelation and other prophetical books in the Bible. Not just anyone can accomplish that.This is the second book I've ever read when the author actually writes himself in the book. Formatting was great for this! Suspense, excitement, a "hey, guys look what I found!", a "what? what?" and you turn the page. BAM. ...That sounded like gibberish. Sorry about that. The entire author: Evan Angler, is fictitious. I've come to suspect "Angler" isn't even his true name in life. All his blog posts, Facebook statuses, everything, is all one big character. I love it!The only bone I have to pick with him is where he decided to end this book, and his lack to have Facebooked since the beginning of May... How am I supposed to WAIT for the fourth book? And how many are we even guaranteed?I've come to the horrific conclusion that there's just no way, at least that I can see, that this series can end "happily ever after." Dude. It's the APOCALYPSE for crying out. It's the TRIBULATION. The world ain't getting any better. So what? Are they all going to die in the end? Will they all go to Heaven? How are you supposed to end a series like this? Maybe I should look into the Left Behind books...After all, THAT series is finished, written, and no wait for copies to come on the market.Of course, a sad ending to an amazing series just isn't going to happen. I have FAITH. Watch. Watch, fellow readers, as the series ends and we're all mind-blown and dancing around the living room with the book in our hands and shouting very loudly to our brothers how epic the series was.Or maybe the dancing and yelling part will just be me....Will be eagerly waiting for the next installment.Pay no heed to certain negative reviews. They're outnumbered four to one.

      STORM, an apocalyptic story for children, follows anything but the usual patterns for the monotonous end of the world tales and most adults may find it interesting because of this. Although it does contain adults in the storyline, the main characters are a group of children and teenagers. Once of the things I enjoyed most in this story, is the the author uses children and portrays them in mature ways, while allowing them to retain their youth. Each has his own identity, but that identity is more mature than what you see in todays society. At times I found myself forgetting the characters were in fact children as opposed to a bunch of twenty somthings.The story is realistic with its descriptors of society and environment, yet it offers situations and items possible in todays world. Ideas in the story, such as the plague, delivery devices and transportation, are developed allowing for a childs unique way of seeing the world. At the same time, these are unique and suprisingly workable when it comes to the story. The reader goes through it without realizing they've come to the end of the story and finds themselves wanting to read more. This book is one in a series, but can be read with understanding as the author makes a synopsis of previous books at the start.Although an end of the world tale, the author doesn't emphasize the religous portion so as to make it unbelievable or to alienate readers. However to me, as a Christian, this story was clearly based on the end of days in the Bible.

      StormSummary: At the age of 13 everybody in the American Union gets marked. The mark is a series of numbers tattooed onto the forearm that lets people buy things, get into buildings, go to school, and basically be a citizen and have rights. However anybody that refuses the mark just…disappears. Logan Langly refused the mark at the last minute and he is on the run with a group called the Dust. Also the weather has been acting weird lately. There has been almost no rain which is really starting to affect the Markless who depend on farming to live. Meanwhile there is an epidemic starting to break out amongst the Marked. While most of the Markless are trying to fight off the government the Dust is looking for a cure to the epidemic. However they are looking in all the wrong places and they aren’t sure who to trust, and if they don’t succeed it could mean the death of millions.Review: Storm was a very good book. It was full of unexpected twists and surprises. I was really surprised at what ended up happening. I was also surprised at what the author chose to write, because I was expecting the book to go a completely different way. Despite all of these twists and turns it was an excellent book. This book was a little bit religious at times which I also liked. I like how the author was able to fit religion into a great action book. I would recommend this book to anybody who likes books with lots of surprises and adventure. Overall it was a great book and I think that more people should read it.

      I’m Hooked!Ok, so I am so hooked on this series I cannot wait for the next one. Somehow, I thought that it was a trilogy and Storm would wrap it all up, but instead Angler ramped up the story and increased the suspense. Absolutely do not read this book out of order, you must read Swipe and Sneak first. While this book is based on Christian themes, there is absolutely no preaching because it is set so far in the future that religion has been deemed divisive and thus not allowed. Though the reading level of this book is 8-11 year olds, it is definitely geared more toward the understanding of teens. Most 8-10 year olds would not understand the under currents in the themes that run through the books. I recommend this to all YA readers looking for exciting books that portray a struggle of good against evil, but many older readers will enjoy them, too.
