In an ancient world of darkness, fallen angels called Watchers rule as gods and breed giants called Nephilim.

Mankind is enslaved to evil.

Noah, a tribal leader and good family man, just wants to be left alone to make a living off the land with his wife and sons.

But he soon learns that evil never leaves you alone. It comes after you - and your family - with a vengeance.

Now Noah must rescue his family from the grip of supernatural evil before the Deluge comes and carries them all away.

Noah Primeval

This is my second time listening to this great body of work. What a blessing it is!!! Brings to mind, in a good ways, so many interesting things. Thank you Brian Godawa for allowing God to invade your mind in such a creative way.

Unbelievable!

I was expecting this book to be good, I was not expecting it to be absolute incredible! Great job, I cannot wait to read the rest of the series!

A Fresh and New Way to View the World

I really enjoyed this book and even enjoyed listening to every appendix! Can't wait to listen to the next one!

Great Storytelling and Very Detailed

I Love how the Author stayed as close to the truth as possible when writing this book!

Great Book!

I loved this book. It's a very interesting and exciting take on Noah! Highly recommend.

Does Noah really get on the ark?

I thought the book was very entertaining. I know the end of the story so the author had a very difficult job keeping me engaged and he did just that. There were even times when I thought he was going to change the Biblical narrative to fit his story. He did not, but I was almost sure the story would end differently than what is in the Bible. I kept wondering how the author would bring things together. I was surprised many times.

It is a work of fiction drawing from the Bible, non-canonized stories (stories outside of the Bible) and the author’s creativity. The book kept my attention and even caused me to power through it to see what would happen next.

At the beginning, the author tells a little background on why and how he developed the characters. I believe he said the appendices were not included in the audiobook but they were. I listened to the appendices twice for educational information. He includes a lot of information in them and twice for me is probably not enough. You probably need to read these.

I find it difficult today to find a good story without resorting to constant profanity and graphic sex scenes. In my mind, if an author needs to resort to such attention getters, he or she is not good enough to draw me in on the story itself. Brian Godawa is able to draw you in on the story and keep you wondering what will happen next. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series.

The author read his own book. He did a very good job. I am sure it took him a long time to put the audio together and I am grateful he did. I have heard other productions who have a much larger budget with professional readers but that’s all they do. Around chapter 4 I lost track of everything and was focused on the story and not the reader. I thank him for making this available in audio form. I read all the time for work and at times I need to sit back and just listen to a good story. The book is better than most of the entertainment you see on TV or at the movies today. My goal in listening was for entertainment and I was entertained and as a bonus, I received some education.

On a theological note, the author did interweave sound theology into the story. It is a story of Noah. Yes, he did have fantasy and fiction but when he dealt with Biblical issues, he was truthful.

Terrific read!!!! It literally had been life changing for me!!!!

Noah Primeval helped open my eyes to an exciting new perspective of the heavenly and spiritual realms. I have read the entire series and just finished listening to the audio version, which may have been better than reading it. This awesome series really sparked a revival of my biblical studies and I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in stretching their current understanding to dive into these very deep waters.
Thank you Brian for writing this series , for the audio readings and for your Appendices (which are also terrific). You have definitely helped to inspire me to hit the after burners on my biblical studies and to take my personal walk with the Lord to a deeper and more committed level.
May the Lord bless you and keep you ...
And give you peace!

the journey begins

the audible book read by the author is awesome. His dramatic reading of his books adds to the story.
I have a nephew that was reading Brian Godawa Chronicles of the Nephilim, and told me to check it out. I was not very big on fiction especially when it came to biblical fiction. Wow was I wrong. Noah Primeval is awesome. The story was fast pace moving and never did I lose interest in it or become bored with sections. On top of the novel itself I found the resources Brian gives to the background stories is even more fascinating. Now 21 books later I am still a fan. If you’ve never read biblical fiction check this out Brian‘s combination of fiction along with factual history makes a good blend and a fascinating read.

Imaginatively Unique and Theologically Interesting

It took several chapters before I got my footing with the story and warmed up to it but I, ultimately, loved not only the storyline and several of the characters (Methusaleh and Noah's wife most), as well as the amazing weaving of obscure and confusing biblical passages with well-known people and events to create a cohesive, compelling tale.
