Barriers audiobook – Anderson Special Ops, Book 3

In the peaceful tranquility of a lazy Sunday morning, I found myself completely captivated by the dystopian world of Barriers audiobook by Melody Anne and John Henley. As I lay in bed, wrapped in the cozy warmth of my blankets, the story unfolded before me, painting a vivid picture of a post-apocalyptic society struggling to survive.

Set in a future where barrier domes shield the privileged elites from devastating solar flares, those deemed unworthy are banished to the harsh conditions outside. Nathan Gallagher, our protagonist, is thrust into this unforgiving world when his beloved adopted son is taken from him after a tragic accident.

The raw emotions that filled every chapter touched my heart deeply. Patrick Skelton’s writing skillfully evoked empathy for Nathan’s plight and drew me into his desperate struggle to save his son’s life and protect millions of others facing similar fates.

Anthony Lee’s narration added an extra layer of intensity to the story. His voice brought each character to life, making their triumphs and tragedies feel even more real. While some may find fault with certain aspects of his performance, I personally found it to be above average and well-suited to the tone of the book.

Barriers is not just a thrilling dystopian thriller; it also serves as a cautionary tale about societal divisions and the lengths we will go to protect our loved ones. It left me contemplating our own barriers in society and how we can work towards breaking them down.
