From the bestselling author of the Inner Movement trilogy and the Cosega Sequence, comes The Last Librarian, (book one of the Justar Journal).
In the year 2098, there is no more war, no more hunger and no more pollution. The world is secure and Earth’s 2.9 billion people are healthy and happy. There is also only one remaining library that still houses physical books. In addition to the dusty … addition to the dusty volumes, the library holds many secrets. But the government has decided to shut it down and burn the contents. Unless an unlikely trio can save the books, humanity will lose more than just what is printed on those antique pages.
With a single government ruling the entire planet, one currency, one language and no religion, the population is unified and enjoying the prosperity that comes with more than seven decades of peace. Free healthcare for all and guaranteed employment make the future a dream. But this future may only be safe if they can hide the past. The books must be saved . . . the impossible task is up to an angry author, a brazen revolutionary and the last librarian. When everything is perfect, the only thing left to fear is the truth.

Somewhat confusing
So many quotes from great literary works. Flowed well but wish these series had an end to each book.
It has a slow start. Worth reading to end
Considering the state of the world at this time, the plot of this book could happen. It’s a disturbing thought. I enjoyed the premise of the book and the characters are believable.
This is a story for book lovers. I loved it so much and bought the second one in the series. I am not buying the third book. This book is wonderful.
Could not get into the characters.
This was a slow read. I quit after about 75 pages. It’s unusual for me not to finish a book.
This is a riveting story of Big Government gone wrong and the sheeple who traded their freedom for security. Of course, in the end, they had neither. Thanks to a brave network of revolutionaries, true freedom is once again within humanity’s grasp. This is a real page turner so don’t start it unless you have a few hours to kill. Fahrenheit 451 and 1984 rolled into one.
An interesting book that kept me guessing to the end as to what the final outcome would be. Will be looking to read the next one in the series.
Threw out some interesting possibilities of future problems in our society. But the discription of technowledgy was a little lacking.
Excellent
A good read.
I like this author. Exciting and entertaining.
Futuristic and timely as I can see this happening in real life.
Lots of surprises, am looking forward to reading the next book.
This was a an entertaining take on how our future might look. It includes historical references, enough book quotes for any bibliophile, and still managed to be full of action. My only complaint was the rather sudden end, as the author created a series.
Book written in form author intended to write sequel. Disappointing.
Similar to Fahrenheit 451 with underlying antigovernment factions.
Gives a new view of the value of books, ebooks, literacy and Big Brother government. Did that story used to say that?
I enjoyed reading this book. I can see something like this happening in real life all to easily, hence the haunting reference.
