The Last Nephilim

By: William Guy

Narrated by: Sam Williamson

Length: 11 hrs and 51 mins

Publisher's summary

Is it possible that the mythical gods of polytheistic Greece, Egypt, Assyria, etc. were actual people that lived shortly after the flood of Noah? The Last Nephilim is a work of historical fiction based upon the first chapters of the book of Genesis and several ancient apocryphal texts. The Bible presents the sons of Noah as monotheistic followers of the God of the universe. So how did their grandchildren end up reigning over polytheistic empires? What happened? This story presents the Nephilim of Genesis chapter six as gifted giants that essentially promoted worship of themselves as deities to post-flood human populations.

The Bible asserts that monotheism was before polytheism, but there is no clear explanation as to why polytheism became so prevalent such a short time after the flood. This audiobook describes one possible explanation as to what may have occurred to have resulted in the explosion of polytheism. Written in a beautiful, scholarly fashion. This is refined, provocative look at events in history.

Fascinating Perspective on History

I enjoyed this speculative look at alternate history. A very different perspective on 'might have beens.' This is a good enough concept that I hope the author will write a sequel.

Great Book

can't wait for a sequel

Confusing Narration, Great Story

Would you listen to The Last Nephilim again? Why?

To absorb all the information thrown at the listener within the first 30 minutes. It's a lot, but in a good way with a great story plot.

Would you be willing to try another one of Sam Williamson’s performances?

No. He would often change his voice to denote a different character speaking. But then he would narrate a different character after that with the same voice. Very confusing! Other times he would narrate multiple characters in the same voice with very little pauses in between so the listener has no idea who is talking. He seems to get into a good groove towards the end of the book, and the only thing that kept me listening past the first 30 minutes was the plot.

Any additional comments?

The plot to the story was great. The narration was terrible. The story ended too abruptly as if the author got tired of continuing the story. There are still many loose ends to the story. I hope he's just setting the stage for a sequel.

Unexpectedly unpredictable.

Breezed through the book. Some of the dialogue and narration made me laugh. Willreadnext book.

Genesis Ch1-10 From A Nephilim's Side of the Scrip

Narration was phenomenal!!

Persus, son of Eldil (fallen angel) Caphtor and his kidnapped spouse Europa is a half human hybrid called a nephilim. He's finally dying and has decided to take his memoirs to a psychiatrist that he has handpicked for the purpose. As the doctor reads the manuscript, he's given explanations of Genesis chapters 1-10 in very specific stories from Persus' long life. Persus has been given a mission by El Shaddai along with individual training and some special gifts. Considering a podcast I once heard along this same line...it's definitely an intensely interesting read. Can't wait to dive into part2..."Caphtorim"

Inspired and Entertained

An excellent plot tightly interwoven with sound character development and intrigue...it is a must read

Left me wanting more!!!

This book was very good! Start to finish! I was disappointed when it ended, I wanted to hear more! It is what is called a 'page turner'. It narrator was excellent! He brought each character to life. He didn't just read word for word, he made each character unique. The story line is superb! I have thought for quite some time that all the ancient god mythologies were from the Nephilim spoken of in Genesis. So to me, though this is completely fiction, it seems plausible. I would recommend this book to anyone (adult that is). Even if you do not believe in a one God that created the universe...it is an excellent story. It pulls in so many ancient and present day thoughts and ideas in a very plausible way! I don't know what else to say without giving away the book! Get it, you won't be disappointed...not with the author or the narrator! I didn't want the adventure to end!
Just to note...I get bored very easily and will start a book and who knows when I'll finish it. I finished this book in two nights!

A good listen, fiction

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

This is fiction that doesn't conflict with scripture... takes the I can not conform nor deny approach. The author uses characters in the Bible and invents characters for his story. This is a kind of what if tale that doesn't take a major turn from the reality of God and the Bible. I enjoyed the tale and hopes Mr. Guy will continue the tale.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Melchizedek- Reminds me of Jesus the Christ.
Pursues, has a desire to serve God but his lack of self-control and his desire to be seen in a positive light by his superiors and his peers reminds me of me.

Which character – as performed by Sam Williamson – was your favorite?

Pursues - Mr. Williamsons' changing voice patterns and inflections were wonderful and keeps the narration lively.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

11 hours is a long time to listen to anything but it was hard to put down. I brought this audio on an evening after work about mid-week and finished it on that Saturday.

Any additional comments?

Some that haven't read their Bible, or maybe the book of Genesis, in a while may think that this book conflicts. It doesn't, this fiction takes place a century or so after the flood Pursues' great grandfather was a son of Noah. The story line takes place sometime after the death of Nimrod. If your a Bible reader you will see some facts laced through out the story line, such as angel being a title not a species (type of being).

loved loved loved

great story line, wonderful character's, wonderfully told,,,can't wait for more of these. I could follow the path the young man was on and relate to it

Great story really makes you think

Would you consider the audio edition of The Last Nephilim to be better than the print version?

The narrator has a great voice easy on the ears. Lol

What did you like best about this story?

Just makes scence as to what could have taken place in the unknown past of Man.
