About this listen

Months have passed since the descent of an ominous darkness over the world. Nightmarish creatures, contained within its depths, have brought humanity to the brink of extinction. The survivors fight an unending battle in this hellish new reality, where every step could be their last.

Those who escape the man-eating beasts of darkness face another monster. A sinister figure forms a compound of those who see the event as an opportunity. One which there are no consequences for fulfilling their most vile desires.

Speculation runs rampant. Some believe the apocalypse has arrived, that judgement day has finally come. Others whisper of an alien invasion, with foreign beasts unleashed upon the earth. Many believe this is the end. Others refuse to surrender, clawing for every breath.

Will there be an end to the darkness, or will it slowly consume them all?

The End of Darkness by D.R. Kane is a brilliantly crafted sci-fi adventure that had me hooked from the very first chapter. The world-building is rich, the characters feel genuine and compelling, and the pacing kept me on the edge of my seat until the very end. Kane masterfully balances high-stakes action with deep emotional moments, creating a story that resonates long after the final words.

Without giving anything away, the story's climax and resolution are deeply satisfying—but they also left me with one powerful thought: I need more. Specifically, a prequel! There’s so much potential to explore the events that led up to this story—the histories, the early decisions, and the origins of the conflicts and technologies that shape this universe.

D.R. Kane has created something truly special here. I sincerely hope this book marks not the end, but the beginning of an expanding universe. If you're a fan of thoughtful, character-driven science fiction with cinematic action and heart, The End of Darkness is a must-listen.

A Stellar Finish That Deserves a New Beginning!
