About this listen
Richard just wanted a girlfriend - not the apocalypse. Richard Peak's senior year is looking painfully ordinary - fighting for position on the soccer team, his parents' constant arguing, a glaring lack of a girlfriend. He can't wait to graduate and join a soccer team overseas, preferably as far from home as possible. Then the president is assassinated and his life changes forever. As an alarming chain of nationwide terrorist attacks trigger a civil war, Richard finds himself on a dangerous journey for survival. As those around him fall prey to hunger, illness, and hatred, Richard must decide between a full stomach and humanity - and somehow create a new society out of the ashes of a fallen world. Richard's Story is the secret journal of the boy eventually founded the New Order Republic of America (NORA). This is an exclusive prequel to the best-selling Numbers Game Saga.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 33,987
In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue - Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is - she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.

When I was four years old, my inept biological parents decided they wanted to summon a demon. They planned to summon one and control him so they could gain riches. However, they didn't realize you can't control a demon, you can only enter into an agreement with them, and so their demon was able to walk out of the summoning circle that they didn't close properly.

What started as a flu outbreak on a military base proves deadlier than Ebola. Sympatico Syndrome is unlike anything the world has ever seen. Victims' behavior is changing to accommodate the rapid spread of the virus. Former Navy epidemiologist Cole Evans is well aware of the rare, infectious diseases the military studies. He also knows the government's stance on sharing information with the public, so if the media has already learned about the disease, then it's too late to contain the outbreak.

Great read
Any additional comments?
Richard's Story by Rebecca Rode was another great companion story. Richard didn't expect the world to turn into the apocalypse. His whole life changes after the present assassinated and his family goes for safety at his families. It quickly becomes a journey of survival. I love the Numbers Game series and can't wait to read more about Rebecca Rode.

Any additional comments?
I was provided this free review copy audiobook by the author or narrator." This review is for the audio copy of Richard's Story: A Numbers Game Short by Rebecca Rode and narrated by Stacey Glemboski. This story took me by surprise. It caught my interest because it was in the genre’ I enjoy most. And it was free… I started listening to it as soon as I received it. It started out okay, slow but steady. Was taking a long time for the character build but I stuck with it and am glad I did. This is obviously part of a larger story/universe. But it is done so that it is can also be a stand-alone story. I was very impressed with the conflicting view points between the characters. The thoughts and emotions expressed by everyone in the story seem to be what I would expect in the circumstances described by the plot. This ended up being a very thought provoking story for me. It wasn’t a good guys/bad guys thing with the good guys winning out in the end. No spoilers here so if you want to see what I mean you will have to read/listen to the book. Suffice it to say I was very impressed with it overall, very surprised by the way it played out and appreciative of the way it made me think about how I might react in the similar situations. As an extra added bonus the narration was perfect for story as far as I am concerned. Stacey did a great job with inflections, differentiation between characters and reading pace. Because this book provided some thought provoking stimulus for me I rate it 5 Star and definitely want to see what the other books in this series provides. Good job Rebecca!

Loved this powerful story!
Would you consider the audio edition of Richard's Story to be better than the print version?
Yes, the audio narration added so much to the story!
What was one of the most memorable moments of Richard's Story?
Don't want to give away spoilers, but when the clan checks out Richard's lead on peaches.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Richard's Story: A Numbers Game Short (Audible Audio) by Rebecca Rode and narrated by Stacey Glemboski is an audible book I requested and the review is voluntary. I absolutely loved this story. It had my emotions all over the place. Is this a scenario that could happen, maybe slightly differently? Could our own government do this to us instead? Would we did this to ourselves after? A terrifying story, a touching story, a story of holding on to humanity when humanity is a thing of the past. It is a short story but it packed a punch! The narration was so perfect, it was chilling. Loved this short but powerful story.

This is amazing!
If you could sum up Richard's Story in three words, what would they be?
It's so good.
Who was your favorite character and why?
My favorite character is Richard of course. Not one of the characters are without fault and they wouldn't be in a post apocalyptic world. Particularly during and immediately following.
Which character – as performed by Stacey Glemboski – was your favorite?
Stacey Glemboski did an excellent job conveying the emotional distress of those in peril.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
*SPOILERS*
Richard's father tried to save him after a particularly bad decision was made. He didn't make it. He had to leave his father behind. Then his mother took ill and didn't last long
Any additional comments?
This is an excellent example of what could happen in such a situation. A situation that could happen at any time, ready or not. The story was well written and well narrated. I enjoyed it very much and look forward to more from Rebecca Rode

Great Prequel
Any additional comments?
Very entertaining and enjoyable. Great addition to the series. This was an interesting insight to how the number system started. Even if you have already read the rest of the series this prequel fills in the backstory of how and why the country is the way it is.
Told by Treena's grandfather Richard. The story details the events that preceded the collapse of society. The changes it had on not only Richard's life but the whole country. Leading him to implement the number system.
Stacey Glemboski did a fantastic job with the narration as usual. She has one of those voices that just pulls you into the story and makes it and the characters come to life. Great character voices. Both male and female. Clearly spoken with a nice even pace. She was the perfect narrator for this series. Very enjoyable

Great Beginning of the End
I loved getting to hear Richard's story fully. Even with all the tragedy and the end of the world as we know it it was still a good read. Getting the full picture instead of just the glimpses from Numbers raging this explained so much about how it all happened. Stacey did an amazing job narrating and showed how awesome she really is at filling her voice with emotion.

HEARTBREAKING AND REAL....THE BEGINNING OF IT ALL!
Any additional comments?
** I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review **
This was a prequel to this series, the start of it all...Richard and others had to suffer in order for things to come to order as they did....Richard was very brave, and endured lots of negative treatment, but vowed to make things better....he lost his entire family, all his friends and was shunned..but he never gave up! Good story and narration....I recommend it if you are a fan of the series!!!

Read LAST - not First!
I am a great fan of Ms. Rode’s series. I was fortunate enough to receive the Numbers Game Saga first. After reading the entire series I went back and read the shorter novels regarding the secondary characters. I noticed that this book is currently listed as Book 0.5, but I would greatly recommend that this be read last rather than first.
The main character of the saga learns about Richard throughout the series and is often interrupted or shut down in her research. Reading about Richard first would give the reader background that the main character of the saga does not know and would likely lead to a completely different reading experience.
This book provided so much additional background for the series and takes place as the apocalyptic event is happening and immediately thereafter. It provides the reader with a “how did we get here” response that is not necessary to read the main series but is very satisfying as an ending to the novels.
I was provided with a free copy of this audio book for my honest review. The views expressed here are entirely my own.
