God's Army, Book 1

De: Kobie J. Newton

Narrado por: Andrea Emmes

Adalia and her sister Jamari Moore are teenage gamers obsessed with vanquishing demonic creatures in a Massively Multiplayer Online world called The Golden Age. They lead a closely knit guild of players in weekly dungeon raids and guild versus guild war games also known as war zones. Their brilliant combat tactics and ruthless fighting prowess has gained the attention of Divine Enterprises.

As summer break rapidly approaches Adalia and Jamari's parents instruct them to find part time summer jobs so they don't spend every waking moment immersed in an online world. By chance the Moore sisters find themselves interviewing for internships with the same gaming company that owns and publishes The Golden Age.

During their interview with the company's CEO a demon suddenly appears causing Adalia and Jamari to expose a carefully guarded secret. Unfazed by the demon's appearance the CEO makes Adalia and Jamari an offer that will change their lives and faith forever.

Complete satisfaction

Where does Order of Saint Michael rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I feel it is excellent. The story line and characters are both believable and engaging .there is a great mix of interaction from many characters that cause the listener to become completely immersed in the story.

What did you like best about this story?

The concept of good vs. evil in a new and exciting way. With a basic principal it is hard to generate a new and different approach. I feel the Author here did a fantastic job , and I look forward to the next book in this series .

Which character – as performed by Andrea Emmes – was your favorite?

It would be hard to separate the sisters as they are both exciting in there own separate ways. I truly enjoyed the way the reader was able to not only change her voice to show that Adalia and Jamari were different people but she was ables to show each with a rich personality .

If you could take any character from Order of Saint Michael out to dinner, who would it be and why?

This is very difficult as it would obviously be the girls but I would not want to be with just one. I would love to just sit there and let them talk about the best way to do battle.

Any additional comments?

I love Audible books as they go far beyond the written page. If the reader is good , and this one is excellent, you get so evolved with the story the fictional characters become real to you.

Narration kept my interest

Where does Order of Saint Michael rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This was the second audiobook that I've heard and I would rank this as #2.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Order of Saint Michael?

The college party scene where Adalia and Jamara saved that poor girl and dealt with all of those demons.

What does Andrea Emmes bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Andrea's narration is really what kept me interested in finishing the audiobook. When I read a book, I like to put myself inside the story as the main character and she really helped draw me and keep me in. Her ability to differentiate her voice for each character helped me know who was speaking and stuck with me as the story progressed so that each time I would hear that character's voice again, I knew instantly who it was.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No. The author takes the story down some unnecessary rabbit holes that really didn't stick to a solid idea and that pulled me out of the story a bit, but the story line and concept was definitely good enough to want to me to continue since it peaked my curiosity.

Any additional comments?

My only comment for the narrator would be to work on stronger male voices so they sound more masculine. Maybe add more gravel to the voice. It must be hard to do being a woman, and even though the male voices were good, they could still use some work.

Brillant ~ electric

If you could sum up Order of Saint Michael in three words, what would they be?

I thought it was intriguing, vividly descriptive and in many ways thought provoking. The lavish scene descriptions painted a picture in my head that just left me in awe and placed me in the center of all the action. I'd say this is an outstanding work due to the demons and obsession theme of the book and how it just all comes back to the games. I thought that the main characters, Adalia and Jamari who are the first of command of a guild of players from the online game The Golden Age were awesome.From the very start of this book I was hooked. It was a thrill ride into a world of war between heaven and hell. war between heaven and hell

What did you like best about this story?

I liked the vivid storytelling about the look of the demons, I could feel the fear of the battle between good against evil. There were parts of the story that sent a chill up my spine.

What about Andrea Emmes’s performance did you like?

Andrea Emmes's performance was outstanding. I liked the way her voice changed with each character. She had just the right about of tension in her voice. I was swept away.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

God's Army stands to fight another day.

Any additional comments?

I hope there will be another book coming out soon.
