About this listen

Miracles are happening. Pray to God they stop.

In the dead of winter, on a highway in Quebec, a man crashes his car and survives. In New York, a homeless person is run over by a bus and lives. In Tokyo, a teenager jumps off a high rise building and fails in taking her own life. All over the world, miracles like these transpire, and people breathe a sigh of relief.

But for the next week, some people will begin to suspect a terrible truth. A handful will even search for it. One man will find it.

And in seven days, all hell will break loose.

Note: Graphic violence and language.

It's a solid story, but I found the reading had a robotic voice and long pauses which caused it to be hard to listen to at first.

good story but the reading was lacking

The cadence of the narrator reading is unnatural and difficult to listen to for long periods of this audiobook. Extended gaps between sentences and unnecessary extending words with a rumbling throat grumbles like an annoying news reader. Possibly intentional to explain the main character but very annoying to listen to. The character voices however are great.
Such a shame as I can’t get enough of KCB’s creations. I will be adding this to the ‘must read instead’ unless a rerelease happens at some point.

I have listened to all of Mr. Blackmore's books and have enjoyed them all. This one, however, was different. I liked the story itself, but the narrator's speech patterns were annoying. In fact, I nearly stopped listening after the first ten minutes. Because I've liked all Blackmore's previous books, I did stick with it, though. After a while, I became more used to the narrator's poor reading style. If this had been read by someone like R.C. Bray, it would be five stars all around. My advice is, even if you find the narrator as annoying as I did, stick with it. The book is worth putting up with his poor reading.

Good story, bad narrator.

I found this book disappointing. The annoying narrator aside, the story was really not up to the same standard as previous books by this author.

not up to the usual standard

The concept had promise but each plot thread ended cheaply! The end wrap up was uninspired and cliche.

Had promise but never delivered

It was a real struggle to finish this one. 43 chapters in and then it gets to the meat of the story. Felt like 70% of the story was back story building up then the final encounter was lacking. Performance was good in terms of the voices but lacking in other places.

long winded

I struggled my way through this and it nearly killed me! I would of given up at chapter 2 if I wasn’t so stubborn. It’s a shame because I love KCB and his other writings. This one stinks and it’s narrator is just as bad. Even after I read the poor reviews I still purchased based upon my experience with KCB other books. Don’t do it! Invest in something enjoyable.

Please don’t invest your time

I don't know if the story was any good, as I didn't like the narration, I couldn't get past the 2nd chapter

Awful narrative.
