The Trinity Game

The Daniel Byrne Trilogy, Book 1

By: Sean Chercover

Narrated by: Luke Daniels

Daniel Byrne is an investigator for the Vatican’s secretive Office of the Devil’s Advocate - the department that scrutinizes miracle claims. Over 10 years and 721 cases, not one miracle he tested has proved true.

But case #722 is different; Daniel’s estranged uncle, a crooked TV evangelist, has started speaking in tongues - and accurately predicting the future. Daniel knows Reverend Tim Trinity is a con man. Could Trinity also be something more?

The evangelist himself is baffled by his newfound power - and the violent reaction it provokes. After years of scams, he suddenly has the ability to predict everything from natural disasters to sports scores. Now the mob wants him dead for ruining their gambling business, and the Vatican wants him debunked as a false messiah. On the run from assassins, Trinity flees with Daniel’s help through the back roads of the Bible Belt to New Orleans, where Trinity plans to deliver a final prophecy so shattering his enemies will do anything to keep him silent.

Critic reviews

“Sean Chercover shows a stellar hand through a coiling plot, weaving one taut drama. The story is tense, intelligent, harsh, and surprising - just what a reader wants in a thriller. This one goes on your keeper shelf.” (Steve Berry, New York Times best-selling author of The Columbus Affair)

“The Da Vinci Code meets The Dead Zone in Sean "Chercover’s The Trinity Game, a fascinating thriller that catapults us headlong into Vatican intrigue, global conspiracies, complex family relationships, and nonstop excitement.” (Joseph Finder, New York Times best-selling author of Paranoia and Buried Secrets)

“ The Trinity Game is a rare find. Heart-pounding cinematic action, unpredictable twists, and wonderful characters - all packed into a fascinating story. What a thrilling ride! I loved it from the start, couldn’t put it down, and was sorry to see it end. You have got to read this book!” (Marcia Clark, New York Times best-selling author of Guilt by Association)

Oh, why not have a little fun?

Very entertaining book. Good narrator, he kind of "acted" the characters if you know what I mean. But not in an obnoxious way. You have to suspend your disbelief for some of the character's foolish and dangerous actions*. Plus the ending was pretty predictable. But what the heck, sometimes we need a little fun, don't you think?


*Ha! Suspend disbelief in a review of a book about God speaking through chosen people. Snort!

Great Read

Very good story and narration. Kept me finding reasons to listen, even when I should have been doing something else. Looking forwArd to the next book.

Couldn't stop listening!!!

Loved it! I could hardly stop listening! It kept me guessing and had a great storyline and underlying stories!

What if you knew someone who could....

Predict the future, but wouldn't quite tell you how, and then added a profound evangelical cast to the concept just to mix things up.
Well, if that is something that sounds good to you, then you will enjoy this outing.

All around entertaining, albeit with a VERY dissappointing ending ( and the almost obligatory lead for a sequel ).

Very good, at times inspiring ( small insider joke there ) narration. Overall, I enjoyed this offering, and can recommend it with the stipulations noted above.

Great Story, Amazing Narrator

This was a surprisingly good book. The story was fast paced, but still handled character development fairly well. It was entertaining, and the narrator just took it to the next level. He did well with accents and different voices to give the characters and dialogue life.
