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.

Not really a great book . If it had been more than about $2 I would not have bought it. Some interesting pieces but really it only tells 1/3 of the whole story so you have to buy the other two books. Find something better.
Enjoyed this book- very well drawn from past and present history/political situations!
A picture of our possibly not-too-distant direction of our culture. Can you say “book burning?”
It stated pretty slow and was riddled with too many abbreviations, but beyond that it was really different and I enjoyed how the story was developed.
This story actually looks like an extension of the unfortunate direction certain elements of current society are pushing towards.
You don’t want my review…I’d leave spoilers.
This is an interesting book full of wonderful quotes. In a dystopian future after a pandemic, the cost of maintaining a ideal world is the utter suppression of liberty. This novel highlights the potential manipulation of information and the obliteration of privacy by technology.
I’d have given this five stars had the author not given in to a currently popular habit of killing off key characters unnecessarily.
Just Ok, not wroth purchasing next book.
Enjoyable read.
Somewhat derivative. Annoying that it doesn’t really come to a definitive end. You have to purchase the next book in the series to find out what happens.
Wicked good read.
Good idea but too, too complicated for what it ended up being. Will not be looking for book 2.
I wish I had known it is the first in a series.
Highly original -future concept gendre. Plot complex and well thoughtout. Interesting reading.
Thoroughly enjoyed the book and the two that go with it
Excellent interesting subject, kept me reading!
Will follow this author..
It could very well come to this.
Did not like it at all
Would have liked more of a finish to this book even if it is going to have a sequel.
