Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

As a tech person in the military I’ve read nothing but IT and text-type books for the past couple decades. I tried reading a couple novels, but found them boring and dumped them after a couple chapters. One day at church a member was talking about 299 Days and recommended it so I decided to check it out. 299 Days was definitely different from other books - it drew me in very early on and led me to read the entire series. What a great story with a highly plausible scenario. Glen Tate writes on an everyday level, making it easy to follow along. Although it is not a “religious” series, Glen does a pretty masterful job of weaving Christian themes into the story which I appreciate. I also appreciate how he obviously researched the military so that he uses correct terminology and makes the characters “real”. His brings Civil Affairs into the picture, which as any military person knows is a very critical part of any military engagement.


When I heard the series was coming out on audio book I thought “cool” and decided to give it a try also. I decided to start out with Book 5 as that is the transition from just building the community to military involvement (taking down the drug house, and the Special Forces “visitors”). WOW! The narrator (Kevin Price) really brings the characters to life. Glen did a great job in picking this guy. After hearing this one, I’m going to go back and listen to it all again as the voices n my head when reading aren’t anywhere near as good as Kevin’s reading.

With Christmas coming up, I’m picking up a couple copies of the series on audio book to give out as gifts.

What other book might you compare The Visitors to and why?

Don't know any comparable books.

What does Kevin Pierce bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Kevin does a much better job of bringing the story to life. His voice fits the story line well.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Getting ready for the war.
