Publisher's summary

Audie Award Nominee, Science Fiction, 2013

Padlocked doors. Strange light fixtures. Mutant cockroaches.

There are some odd things about Nate’s new apartment. Of course, he has other things on his mind. He hates his job. He has no money in the bank. No girlfriend. No plans for the future. So while his new home isn’t perfect, it’s livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don’t nag at him too much. At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela’s apartment. And Tim’s. And Veek’s. Because every room in this old Los Angeles brownstone has a mystery or two. Mysteries that stretch back over a hundred years. Some of them are in plain sight. Some are behind locked doors. And all together these mysteries could mean the end of Nate and his friends. Or the end of everything....

Critic reviews

"A riveting apocalyptic mystery in the style of LOST." (Craig DiLouie, author of The Infection and The Killing Floor)
"A wholly original story that weaves together mystery and the apocalypse like a finely tuned band." (Evan Roy, Bricks of the Dead)

Editorial Review

If you love a good mystery and are even remotely interested in sci-fi or horror, 14 is the perfect escapist treat, and listener-favorite narrator Ray Porter is at the top of his game in this performance. Plus if you loved LOST like I did, this book will help with those withdrawals you're likely still experiencing (just me?)Sam P., Audible Editor

One of the best I've heard in a long time!

It's hard to write a review of this book without revealing any spoilers. Suffice it to say that I, after reading and/or listening to everything by this author, this is by far his most outstanding work. I sensed the story coming to an end and fantasized about what the next installment will cover. Hopefully, it will be forthcoming!

Pretty far out

Storyline started out pretty good, but character development was weak. The author tried to parallel a Scooby-Doo episode and the story ended up with about as much depth. As the plot unfolds the believability degrades rapidly. All in all it was kind of cute and mostly clean, but don't expect a story you will be talking about for years!

Lovecraftian brilliance

If you're a mystery fan and or a Lovecraft fan, you'll love 14. Great characters and great performance by the reader. I highly recommend this!

The story arc definitely surprised me!

What did you love best about 14?

I thought that the story was really entertaining and I liked most of the characters. This was a solid 4- 4.5 stars for me.

What other book might you compare 14 to and why?

Surprisingly, I can't think of a book that 14 reminds me of. It's pretty unique.

Which scene was your favorite?

*Spoiler alert* I was definitely on the edge of my seat when the group was in the other dimension trying to get back .

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

*Spoiler alert* I thought it was pretty hilarious how Nate and Veek eventually got together.

Any additional comments?

I didn't really like how he wrote the Andrew character. It was odd how he kept referring to him with his head tilts...

A bit of Old, New and Funny

A different fair from most: Detective / SiFi / Humor / Historical saga all set in the modern day. Great listen. It will make you laugh and scare you. This would be a great movie.
