About this listen
Humanity is plunging down a slippery slope of morality. Righteous attitudes abound with malice, hatred, and discontent prevailing in the currents riding through humankind. In the spiritual planes, battles between the light and darkness are being fought over souls for their very existence. Assailed on all sides, heaven is left with no choice but to open the seven seals.
The horsemen are summoned and ride forth. Conquest, the drums of war, hunger, and death are felt by all.
Humanity is left standing on the brink where the slightest tremor will send it plunging into the abyss. Will humankind survive the tribulation placed upon it? Or will it vanish into oblivion?

What would happen if a viral agent was released on American soil? How would local agencies react? How would the military respond? What if it was one of their own? Would they own it or attempt to cover it up? If a major operation was jeopardized because of the release, would that alter any of the decisions? A potent viral agent, created to destabilize a region for forces to move in and clean up, is accidentally spilled in a metropolis. Those infected serve only to afflict others through any means.

Eric didn't ask to be a vampire. In fact he didn't even believe in them. Biting your own tongue with your fangs does a lot of convincing. Even so, being a part-time undead isn't as easy as you might think. It can let you hold down a day job, true, but sometimes the night "life" can be more than a little difficult, what with those bloodthirsty urges and predatory instincts kicking in.

We were fighting on the wrong side of a war we couldn't win. And that was the good news. The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon come ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There go the good old days, when humans only got killed by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

After seven long years of conflict, the Horus Heresy nears its end. But now, as the Warmaster Horus marches on Terra to rip his father from the Throne, the seat of the arch-traitor’s power lies empty. Cthonia, a world once dominated by brutal murder-gangs, is occupied by the Emperor’s praetorians—the indomitable Imperial Fists. For the Sons of Horus, this outrage demands a reckoning.

From the Audie-nominated narrator of The Martian. In eleven years' time, a million members of an alien race will arrive at Earth. Years before they enter orbit, their approach will be announced by the flare of a thousand flames in the sky, their ships' huge engines burning hard to slow them from the vast speeds needed to cross interstellar space. These foreboding lights will shine in our night sky like new stars, getting ever brighter until they outshine even the sun, casting ominous shadows and banishing the night until they suddenly blink out.

Good book
I won't lie I struggled with this book, it was very "technical" with a bit of story in it. After reading the reviews though I figured I was not alone so decided to give the rest of the series a try, I am glad I did. This book is really about setting everything up for the next books, stick with it, you won't regret it!

One of John O'Briens best books
What an amazing book. From start to end I enjoyed how well he was able to combine religious history regardless of your faith and what society is going through today, with a sprinkle of what could possibly happen in the future. I can not wait for part two of this book.

Not his best work.
I love John O'brien. This is not his best work. there are no real main characters to invest in. 75% of the book is describing the apocalypse. This feels more like an extremely long pro logue than a book meant to cause the reader to invest in the story and characters. I was almost let down. But Gagliardi make anything sound great. I listened to it twice to make sure I didn't miss anything. I most defenitely did not. One long pro logue.

The story is a modern take on "Paradise Lost".
I stopped when it brought up negative right-wing examples, but didn't label Left-wing examples as Leftwing. The author brought up Charletsville as a right-wing incident, when it was both. He got some of the facts wrong too. The governor called a State of Emergency an hour before the event and before there was any violence. The author implied it was because of the violence. He also claimed a woman was killed by the car incident. She was never hit by the car. The woman thrown in the air that was seen on National television was not the one who died. The woman was hit by people who were plowed through by the car. She died of a heart attack. He then brings up the Dallas shooting of 5 officers. The author failed to mention the shooter was a black radical. My problem is that he went to great extent to blame supposed Right-wingers for violence, but did not do the same for the Left. I say supposed because the Alt-Right has all the same views as Democrats if you ignore the Social ones. They want big government, but only for whites. He then goes on to spew a lot of global warming talking points. That's when I had to stop listening. I loved his other books, but this one got too preachy for me. I want to get away from politics when I listen to books, not be subtly preached to. This is one of few times I'm requesting a refund.

Is there supposed to be a narrative hidden in here?
This fever dream seems to be much more an amalgam of morality plays than a narrative. I need to buy the pdf to see how many times the author mentions greed, racism (though I don’t think he ever uses the word), pollution, etc. I’m not terribly sure when the ‘story’ takes place as the closest thing you get to a main character is Michael, but you only see him between hours long descriptions of gruesome (and pointless) violence or vague descriptions of what the horsemen did at some point in history. Like if you were to take out all of the anti-science, anti-humanist sentiments/vignettes, the book would be an hour and a half long.
I don’t care that the author uses modified Christian mythos, but the weird inclusion of a “council” in heaven that rule with the Christian god seems quite out of place.
It feels more like a manifesto than like a novel.
I don’t often return audiobooks, but this book’s butt is going back on the shelf.
