Four stars for the story. Minus one star for the narration. Plus one star for Jesus. So four-ish. I guess. It's not the most eloquent thing every written and I miss Noah and Cassie, but as a follow up to The Days of Noah series, this is pretty compelling. I love Everett, Courtney, Kevin, and Sarah (don't know if she has an H or not, but I bet she does). Please be advised, however, that the narrator will change his accent, pace, and tone for Elijah all the livelong day. Everett and Kevin are the only characters who are even mildly differentiated. Still, you want to read a novelization of Revelation chapters 1-6? Tim LaHaye is furious he didn't write this well!

Short, sweet and fast-paced

What can I say? I’m simply devouring these books, in audio no less.

This book is pretty fast paced, even when comparing the last book of the Days of Noah trilogy. The author Mark Goodwin wrote this series to be a standalone series, but I believe it is far more rewarding to also read The Days of Noah trilogy, then come back and read the first of this Saga.

Kevin and Sarah are back, but due to the fact this was written as to also be read on its own, they were introduced as though we have never heard of them before. Having finished The Days of Noah recently, I felt a bit let down by that. The fact that not even references and/or Easter eggs were thought of for readers who are binging this series.

Other than that, it’s fantastic, though please do not read it standalone! Grab a 30 day trial of Amazon Kindle Unlimited and ready ‘em all if you have to do it that way!

5/5 plot, 4/5 with character execution due to the standalone factor.
