Resumen del Editor

April 1964. A pharmaceutical cover-up pushes William Nolan to an impossible choice: implicate himself in a murder he did not commit, or lose his family. In the weeks that follow, a drug with terrible side effects gets pushed to market prematurely, causing the suffering of thousands around the world.

Three generations later, Jordan Nolan wants nothing to do with his hometown or his last name. Just weeks from his ticket out, a mysterious informant dangles a clue that could clear his great-grandfather and implicate a powerful leader in the drug industry.

A lost treasure hunt, a trail of forgotten secrets, and a cryptic message in an ancient Bible thrust Jordan into a Pandora's Box of lies and danger that will cost him more than his future if he pulls on the wrong thread. From the underground catacombs of Western Colorado to the DC corridors of power, those who don't know history...may live to see tomorrow.

Great listen!

Loved this book! Would recommend! Wish the second book was available. The preview gets you hooked!

Amazingly Enjoyable Listen!

Full disclosure: The author of this book is a co-worker of mine. He has asked me to give an honest review and that is what this is; an honest review of this novel.

Generations is a coming of age story for a high school graduate. It ties present day events with events that took place 50 years ago; a murder/suicide, involving his grandfather, which becomes the subject of investigation for the protagonist the summer after graduating from high school. A summer that is supposed to be spent preparing for the biggest year of his life.

This book is a fast paced, page turner. It seems every section of the book unlocks a mystery only to find another mystery to unlock. Generations is a book of redemption. Soooo much redemption. The redemption unfolds for each character differently. The characters face realistic struggles and show incredible strength of character in overcoming those struggles. The main characters were allowed to make mistakes and suffer the consequences of those mistakes, but also learn from them.

One of the categories this book falls into, is Christian fiction. There are definitely Christian elements to this book with Biblical references, prayer, and of course, some of the characters are Christian. This adds to the story line as the main characters struggle with their faith. At its core, this book is a wonderfully written mystery novel, that is an exciting ride of discovery for the main character. Jordan discovers a lot about himself, his family, his ancestors, his community, and his faith the summer after graduation, that he didn’t know, and wouldn't have believed while going through High School, and much of it changes his perspective on life and love.

I recommend this book to anyone who wants to read an exciting mystery novel that brings you into the action and keeps the heart pumping throughout.

I listened to the audio version of the book and the team that produced this and the actors that voiced it did an excellent job. The only complaint I have about the production is that sometimes (not every time), it seemed to switch from one scene in the book to another with no delay and when that happened, sometimes I didn’t realize the scene had switched. I listen to audio books at about 1.5 to 1.6 speed so that may have had something to do with the short delay between scenes in the book. This in no way took away from the listening experience and I still give this book and the performances in the audio book 5-stars.

Captivating Story, Amazing Production

Generations of hatred divide a community. The truth lies beneath. Amazing full cast production. A++! Kenny's debut book is captivating.
