When Harden Campbell wakes cold and beaten in a dirt-floor cell, he finds only three other things in the room with him: the mutilated body of his good friend, an ancient typewriter, and a stack of blank paper, the top sheet of which has a single typed sentence: "Tell me a story." He knows the message is from Coyote, his brilliant, megalomaniacal roommate whose lust for power and reverence has recently revealed him for the true sociopath he is. Now, as the founder of a new religion with disturbing roots - Revelation - Coyote's most evil side has emerged.

From the moment Harden sees that stack of paper, he knows his one chance of escape is through his own words, and only his ability to successfully recount the dark story of what happened over the past year at Wyland University will determine whether he lives to see the woman he loves once again - or is silenced forever. This will be the most difficult story Harden has ever written, and each word must be chosen with the utmost care. Because Coyote will be reading each and every one of them.

Amazing thriller

Carter Wilson is such a great author who knows how to move a story along. However, I didn't really care much for the premise behind this particular book of his.

I didn't care much for this one.

Any additional comments?

Hmmm... what an interesting book! I can certainly understand why other reviewers would give this story a five-star rating. Carter Wilson certainly has a talent for wordcraft, making the story quite enjoyable to read (hear). As someone who lacks the talent for writing descriptively, but who also lacks the patience for reading contemporary literary fiction, I particularly enjoyed Revelation -- which gave me social commentary and an introspective protagonist, wrapped in a suspense/thriller plot.
The only reason why I didn't give this book a full five stars is because I thought the author was a wee bit too crafty with the plot twists. By the time we got to the end of the book, after the final twists had been revealed, I NEEDED the protagonist to explain what the heck happened since page 1 (and I'm glad that he did!). I felt like someone told me a joke and I didn't 'get' the punchline so I needed to have the joke explained to me. While I enjoy thrillers immensely, I don't like feeling stupid. I think that if the author had dropped just a few more breadcrumbs throughout the story regarding the protagonist, I would have enjoyed the crafty twists better. I would have felt like I was in the passenger seat on the same journey as the protagonist, rather than half-dozing in the back seat (thus missing the view/significance of key milestones along the path). A poor analogy - see? I told you that I lacked the talent for wordcraft! - but that's what it felt like to me. The author gave us entry into the protagonist's thoughts and emotions and actions....but held back on some critical stuff until the very end. I'm sure he did this deliberately, though, so I won't say that this is a flaw in the book. I would have liked the book even more if he had given me just a wee bit more in terms of a breadcrumb trail during the story, that's all.
The narration was very well done - great work by Timothy McKean! I think his vocal style was very authentic to the personality and actions of the main character. I'm also glad that he didn't do vocal backflips trying to voice the female characters (which would have disrupted the flow of the narration for me).

Well-written and twisty

This book opens with the main character Hardin waking up in a barren cell. We have no idea how he got there, and he isn't telling us. This book is the journey of how Hardin got there.

This concept of this story is a stark example of what I don't want to happen to my girls while they are currently attending college. Since college-age kids are away from home for the first time in their life for an extended period, they are extremely succeptable to new political and religious views. They easily be assuaged by an smooth-talking snake-oil salesman who whispers sultry promises of a new belief system to those who will listen.

This book really centers around two two people: Coyote and Hardin. Coyote is a true sociopath in my opinion. He gets the brilliant idea of starting a new religion. Because it's all about the power to Coyote. He wants to "consume" people, and starting a religion is the perfect way to satiate his hunger.

The entire book is really one long, drawn out, yet mild torture scene. Hardin must write his way out of his captivity, no matter how long it takes. Malnutrition and torture are a constant danger. It provides a very suspensful ride with a satisfying ending.

Timothy McKean is an great narrator. His voice is perfect for college-age characters. His delivery and technical skills were spot-on, and I would listen to any other book from him.

Sick and Twisted

The premise of the story is intriguing. How would one create a new religion from scratch? What kind of person would be motivated to try it? What kind of people would follow it? How can you write such a story without pissing off Scientologists? Not a bad concept, but
I took a nearly instant dislike to the book's protagonist. And the book's antagonist. I had too many moments where a character made a decision that threw me right out of the story and I found myself questioning why anyone would be. that. dumb. The story had a certain amount of redemption for the protagonist at the end for me, but overall the story was pretty frustrating for me to listen to, and that's not why I like to read.

I received this book in exchange for an unbiased review.

Not bad, but not for me.
