Running from Destiny

New Beginnings, Book 1

De: M.A. Rothman

Narrado por: Tim Campbell

Eighteen-year-old Jason Rogers’ life is turned upside-down when he finds himself in the custody of an unnamed government agency that is falsely accusing him of being responsible for the explosion that caused the death of his parents.

Anya is 17 - a teenager who wishes she could be normal for once - but she’s not. A secret government agency, headed by none other than her father, knows how to leverage the dangerous capability she was born with. All goes well for her until one of the agents turns on her.

Jason and Anya find themselves an unlikely duo as one escapes from an unjust incarceration and the other runs from the people who betrayed her. Ultimately, Jason’s escape makes him confront who and what he has become. Was his destiny really written in a musty tome over a thousand years ago? Anya’s trust for those she holds most dear wavers as she realizes betrayal may have fatal consequences. Trying to run from the burden of his destiny, Jason learns it could cost him not only his life, but Anya’s as well.

And the fate of the world lies in the balance.

Good listen!

Really enjoyed the story and Preformance. Story was formed well and each person was well defined and believable.

Very good story line

Enjoyed this book very much. Beginning the second book now. Really enjoyed it and the narration.

Never boring

This would make a great Netflix series. Avatar reminds me of this book, but it’s too long to be a movie

Fantasy, Romance, Paranormal, Interesting, Mysterious

Fantasy, Paranormal, interesting, mysterious and with a little romance all rolled into this wonderfully written and narratored book. Well worth sharing.

Interesting and creative

Very interesting and creative but wish it would have completed Anyas story, unless more of her story to come.

good could be great

this book has potential but doesn't quite reach it. the characters move really fast in this book. we go from kinda scared kids with no clue what is going on to, well I guess this is my life now most of the books problems are left to be solved at the end of the book not when there meaningful in the book. I mean the book wraps everything up in the last 2 hours of the book not though out the book it makes it feel rushed. the good parts are the story's overall premise and idea .

Good

Good, compelling but not profound. Provides connection and linkage to worlds in the other series.

Loved this book

I am a grandma and I absolutely loved this book and the characters! Great read!

Very good fantasy book.

I like how the book weaved in the story from Agent of prophecy. The story was very interesting!

Way too religious, miscatogorized?

The book basically descends to the reductionist idea of good and evil is chaos and order. However that would suggest that a serial killer is good, or that someone like Pol Pot is good. Few in the modern world agree.

Not getting into the other issues with such simplified ethics, it is one that less than a third of the world follows. Yet no where in the description or information about the book does it suggest anything about religion.

If you cut the religious mud, you still have so much deteriorating a potentially fair story. There is so much attempt to thrust culture in the story that the characters never develop.
