A new postapocalyptic thriller from #1 bestselling author Glenn Beck.
HOW MUCH WOULD YOU RISK TO BE FREE?
Emmeline and her family live in a place that just a generation ago was called America. Now, it’s simply known as “the Republic.” There is no president. No Congress. No Supreme Court. No freedom.
There are only the Authorities.
This bleak and barren existence is all that eighteen-year-old Emmeline has ever known. She dutifully walks her energy board daily and accepts all male pairings assigned to her by the Authorities. Like most citizens, she keeps her head down and her eyes closed.
Until the day they come for the one she loves most.

"I was sort of speechless after reading the book and the Afterword. Maybe I'll read the actual UN written Agenda 21 from 1993. I'm all for doing things that help the environment to an extent, but there are some things that would be too much."
— Jen (4 out of 5 stars)
“Absolutely stunning! Agenda 21 is more frightening than anything Orwell could have envisioned. It is the ultimate thriller, capturing our darkest fears in a brilliantly written, exhilarating, pulse-pounding adventure. If this is what the future holds, I don’t want to live to see it; I want to live to fight it! Agenda 21 is the 1984 of the twenty-first century.”
— Brad Thor, #1 New York Times bestselling author" Easy read. Basically a simpler version of the Handmaid's Tale. "
— Brown Dog, 11/19/2020" It was ok, not great. Shallow storyline, not much character development (except for the protagonist, who matures a little bit toward the end of the book). I guess it serves its purpose; this book isn't meant to be a great work of fiction, but instead to be an easy read warning of the dangers of a powerful centralized government. That, it was. Amazing book, it was not. "
— Cristen, 2/13/2014" I actually bought this for my husband at Christmas. I had run out of things to read and picked it up.I hadn't even considered reading it because I thought it was political. However it's actually a dystopian story, I enjoyed it. The main character is likeable. the plot is intersting. The only thing I didn't care for was that it was open-ended. I like to know what happens with a definite conclusion. Other than that it was great. "
— Gapeach, 2/10/2014" amazing book! well written and very eye-opening. A must read for every american! "
— Cheri, 2/10/2014" Fans of Glenn Beck, eat your heart out! I read this as a favor to an uber-conservative friend and found myself gagging down all his fearmongering, apocalyptic rhetoric. It felt like I was arguing the entire time. The story, itself, is interesting if you can get past his claims that the destruction of human existence as we know it will come at the hands of radical, tree-hugging environmentalists or that somehow he knows what the Founding Fathers actually intended. All hail the prophet, Mr. Beck! Dystopian books are interesting because they imagine the possible. Mr. Beck, however, wants to sell you on the idea that this is actually coming unless we all do something really drastic. Well, as long as his fortune keeps growing and he isn't asked to share any of it with anybody! "
— Desiree, 1/31/2014" I was really disappointed by this book. It started off great, it was well written and you immediately get drawn into the life of the main character. She's intelligent, strong headed and slightly naive. And then the author just drops you and leaves you hanging when the story really gets interested. "
— Elyse, 1/12/2014" Really liked it! Was caught up in Emmaline's daily routine, her story of walking the grid, being old enough for pairing, secretly.rebelling against the authority. "
— Eileen, 1/9/2014" read it in one sitting, just could not put it down & highly recommend it "
— Deanna, 1/5/2014" The story was interesting, the narrative clear and 'dystopian' enough. But too bad the author wanted to use this as a platform for right-wing propaganda. An 'afterword' that was longer than necessary trying to put out the dangers of Agenda 21. Missing the 'spirit' of the actual UN document altogether. Laughable but a good read. "
— Sue, 1/4/2014" It was a very easy read. Very reminiscent of The Hunger Games, albeit without the games! Whether you are a fan of Beck or not, it is an entertaining story that sucked me right in. "
— Shea, 1/3/2014" Love it! Creepy that it is "based" on a real U.N. Agenda 21 "
— Josefa, 12/13/2013" Hunger games-style book. If you can get past the author & skip over the propaganda at the end (the afterword), it was a pretty good read. "
— Kris, 11/30/2013" Excellent! Eye opening look at a possible future is we continue to trade our liberty for supposed security. "
— Jim, 11/19/2013" If you love your freedom, read this. It is scary, but true! Like the book says, little by little, this country is less and less free, and people don't realize it!! "
— Andrea, 10/14/2013" I really enjoyed this. Interesting concept and good story, although I thought it finished abruptly! "
— Angela, 9/4/2013" Well written fiction, underscoring a blood chilling reality, if we don't wake up soon. "
— Carol, 9/1/2013" Scary. Every American should read this book so that you can awaken and stop this evil UN program. "
— William, 7/25/2013" A easy read that brings the term slippery slope in focus by taking the ideas of Agenda 21 and showing the many possible outcomes that my result. "
— James, 7/1/2013" A startling premise. Agenda 21 is a shocking what-could-come in a future reality where the 'Republic' is blatantly not your friend and forges the pathway to enslavement in less than a generation. "
— Joy, 2/1/2013" The ideas behind the book make it a good read. We should be aware of what may happen behind the real idea of Agenda 21. I will recommend and pass this book along to all my family members just to be informed. "
