Sanctuary

By: D. J. Molles

Narrated by: Christian Rummel

Length: 6 hrs and 53 mins

Publisher's summary

No more dark mode.

That’s what Bran had promised Kat—and made her promise him. Which was their shorthand for, “Let’s stop killing people”.

But that’s easier said than done when your friend is a hybrid: part human and part mutated apex predator.

On the run from their former lives in Northern California, Bran and Kat find themselves in the Oregon wilderness, searching for a place to call home—a place where they can escape their past, with people that will accept Kat for what she is.

So it seems like a miracle when they stumble across an old monastery, now housing a single woman and five boys–five hybrid boys.

But “Miss Shay” has one rule: absolutely no violence.

The reason behind this rule is doubly hard to live with. In fact, it’s downright dangerous: The father of those five hybrid boys is the alpha male of a pack of primals—human beings whose DNA has been radically mutated by a plague, turning them into hyper-aggressive predators. And this alpha male doesn’t like the threat to his dominance posed by those boys.

Patrick Beckley has been hunting that alpha male for years. He knows that the only way humans will survive on this planet is if they eradicate every single primal. And this particular alpha male—massive, with a cruel streak unusual even for primals—was the one that killed his daughters.

So when Patrick stumbles across a monastery that appears to be harboring young primals, he doesn’t care that they might be half-human. They’re a threat to the human species.

As Bran’s hopes for a peaceful life fall apart, and fragile territorial boundaries erode, he learns that his promises might be harder to keep than he’d thought.

Because in order to protect the ones you love, and have a home in a world gone mad...well, sometimes you have to kill.

DJ is an unstoppable force!

Mind blowing! it's was so so so good! you won't be able to put this book down.

killer Combo

Much like the duo of Bran and Kat, D.J. Molles and Christian Rummel are a killer combo. Molles ever expanding "The Remaining" world is brought to life with Rummels distinct voices, giving life to a population trying to survive and maybe grow and rebuild. This world and all those in it keep evolving..... in every since of the word. This is another non stop, can't put it down from molles and will be looking forward to more from this dynamic duo.

Sanctuary Sprints to the Action

Another win for DJ Molles. While Molles' undead have mutated from the mindless, stumbling, walkers that they started out as into fast moving, smarter, ape like "Primals" he has ratcheted up the action and pace. In this one off, spin off, with a few known characters, its all well done, decisions make sense and the story is frantic and entertaining. Another great add to the world of the Remaining.

Really enjoying the continuation of the Remaining universe

So I’ve been reading The Remaining series since the first book was published and have loved this series. When the second part of the series “The Lee Harden series was published” the author took a HUGE detour from the theme and feel of the other books. It got very dark and depressing. I love the post apocalyptic genre, but I stick to series where there is hope that good overcomes evil. The Lee Harden series was just one big series of death and destruction and I honestly hated the evolution of Lee Harden’s character.

This book goes back to the spirit and feel of the original “Remaining”
Series and I love it! DJM does an excellent job of drawing you into some of the secondary characters from previous books. I’m very excited for the next book!

Ending!!!

Amazing interlude to the Remaining universe. Can’t wait to see what the next mission holds for the best squad in the fiction realm.

Awesome!

Once again the Harden Universe does not disappoint. The story is fast paced, interesting and just what I expect from Mr Molles. Love the Narration!

great story!

5 stars as always

Christian Rummel brings the story alive as usual and DJ Molles continues to kick out books in this series that are nothing short of awesome & must haves each and every time.
