2020: Chandler Scott, Book 1 Audible Audiobook – Unabridged

Jim Mosquera (Author, Narrator), The Sentinel (Publisher)

Chandler Scott, a rising TV journalist, tries to connect the dots in a country mired in another financial crisis. Cyber terrorists add to the flames of fear. The public yearns for help from its leaders who respond in ways previously unimagined. Politics and economics collide during the presidential election of 2020.

Chandler uncovers a dark, far-reaching conspiracy that plants the seeds for the next crisis, a crisis that will shape the future of the United States of America and the world.

2020 is a fusion of historical events with a near-term look at the future. It is a thriller so convincing in its accuracy that listeners will be left to ponder if these events could actually come to fruition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Slow but powerful
Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2020

While the topic is interesting (and potentially very real) and the author is obviously knowledgeable about the subject, it's hard to get beyond how slow the story moves--more like an Economics text than a novel, at least in the first half of the book. That being said, and while that can be a death sentence in the realm of thriller fiction, I appreciated the author's descriptive writing style without becoming overly graphic. His multicultural characters and scenery are enjoyable, his use of high tech stuff is fun, his references to cyber crimes and terrorism are believable and scary, and his international political scenarios are spot-on. Except for the slow pace and missing hook at the beginning, it is well-written and deserving of more stars.

"Although a fiction, could very well be true. First 100 pages are slow but extremely important for the whole series. Jim is an excellent writer and keeps you on the edge of your seat!"

A well-written first novel from Mr. Mosquera, who is currently better known for his non-fiction publications on economic issues. The book blends characters and plot with economic and political issues, and it connects current events and concerns with darker worries about what could occur in the near future.

4.0 out of 5 stars A serious book for serious times..
Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2016
Chandler Scott is an intelligent hero in a complex world which is changing fast. The author comes from a business background, as I do, and he writes with authority but tends to lose my interest when he forgets to engage the reader and instead writes a quasi-academic text. The overall storyline is interesting however and I look forward to the sequel. The far-reaching implications of the plot may seem far-fetched to some but to counter that I'd say look at the political events both in the USA and in Europe over the last few months - how many of us would have predicted any of that? This is a serious book for serious times and won't be for everyone. But it will make you think hard about where we might be headed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love and Politics!
Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2016
2020 is an interesting book about love, politics, and economics. While the story is based in the future, a lot of the information describes what the country is going through now. It is not just about the United States, but speaks about the economic issues in other countries, and how everything is pretty much tied together.

The main character, Chandler, is a reporter. He is sent all over the world to gather information about the turmoil. He has dated before, but nothing serious ever came from any of those romances. He does find someone that he wants to share his life with, but finds it difficult to spend time with her due to his dedication to his job.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if an election was frozen?

You really need to read this book to find out who wins the election, what happens to the economy, and if Chandler is able to find love.

I felt this book to be educational, as well as entertaining. I honestly did not think I would like it since it has political information, but the actual story development was strong. Jim was able to weave information in while sticking to the story. I enjoyed reading 2020, and I hope there will be a sequel.

4.0 out of 5 stars An intriguing, thought provoking book
Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2017
A fascinating viewpoint of a very possible future. 2020 is a political thriller focusing on the economic and political climate leading up to the 2020 election. The complexity of the problems and the added cyber component of our world mixed with the power and corruption of politics creates twists and turns that leave you guessing. My only complaint with the book was the slow pace for the first half to two-thirds of the book. It was worthy of a higher speed.
