About this audiobook
It’s almost one hundred years since The Great Turning, the catastrophic meteor strike that changed the world forever. Russell Owens is a recently discharged New North Americas Army sniper who only wants to return to his home just outside of Yellowstone to resume life with his gentle husband, Ted. Russell doesn’t want to re-up and hates that he had to kill for a living.
Zola Wright is the most skilled assassin the NNAA has ever had. She was tricked into re-upping—once. When the burned-out Red is sent to find Russell to talk him into returning, what her commanding officer doesn’t realize is that she’s not coming back. Her conscription time is up, and she wants out. She’s also reluctantly falling for Russell.
Now the sniper and the assassin are the ones being hunted, on the run from the army they just finished serving. Their former CO has secrets he’ll kill to keep. But Russell and Zola have more in common than their killing skills. And when Russell and Ted both fall for Zola, she knows their only option is to stand and fight together for the happiness and peace they yearn for—or die trying.

Set in a post-apocalyptic world, “The Great Turning” is a story about people trying not only to survive, but to thrive. The world has been returned to a more rustic state, and everyone in what used to be the USA is required to serve five years in the New North American Army. Returning from his mandatory five years, one of the protagonists is intercepted by another, who tries to persuade him to reup. Their attraction is immediate, and instead, the former soldier persuades his interceptor to return home with him. She agrees, and they create a new bond, not only with each other, but with the soldier’s husband, who’s been waiting at home for his husband to return. Richardson, who also writes as Tymber Dalton, uses her immense talent to craft a tale of love and survival despite the odds.
