About this listen

Daniel’s 16th birthday is starting out like any other day: He’s late for school, his homework’s due, his crush doesn’t know he’s alive, and his afterschool gig is a joke. There’s just one more thing: He needs to save the human race from annihilation.

James Patterson’s thrilling adventure series gets an exclusive, audio-only origin story in Daniel X: Genesis, brought to life by an all-star cast. We meet Daniel, an ordinary teen just trying to navigate his way through high school. That all changes when he discovers he has super powers and can conjure up anything, at any time, just by imagining it. Suddenly he’s meeting powerful entities who tell him he is not, in fact, a typical teenage human but an alien...and his parents died not in a car wreck but in an epic battle with an intergalactic villain.

Can Daniel find the courage to take up the fight? Can he use his powers to save the Earth? And can he finally get to shred onstage in front of thousands of screaming fans? So much to do, so little time.

Starring Michael Cimino (Love, Victor), Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine), Mercedes Ruehl (The Fisher King), Jimmi Simpson (Westworld), and a full cast.

Fast paced adventure with great sound effects and cast.
Not much depth to the characters but for a 2h22min audiobook you’d expect that.
Kids, teens to adults would enjoy this read and it would be a good story for a family on a long car ride or similar.

Perfect for the young or young of heart

I would say this is for younger listeners but overall it was ok. They do go into effort with sounds and effects which I really liked but the story line is definitely for juniors

It’s pretty good

With all the sound effects I kept looking up like it was a movie I was listening to instead of a book. Awesome!

Where is the movie

need to approach it as a radio play, and that makes it easier. definitely aimed at young audiences - upper primary (uk)/ middle school. lots of fun!

sometimes hard to follow

Was kind of like listening to a movie but missing a lot without the pictures. Cool idea and sound, but often had no clue what was happening.

Kind of hard to understand

Very different to anything on Audible I have listened to before. Was a treat to have storyline, each character having a different voice over, music to suit the scene and background sound for dramatic effect. Loved the difference.

Incredibly surprised!

The story was not my usual genre. As it was a short story, I listen to it from beginning to end. I believe it is set for Teenage book readers. It was interesting

Good
