The Wall

De: Brian Penn

Narrado por: Luke Welland

He could live forever. But is he willing to pay the price?

It's 2099, and the former United States of America is in the midst of another civil war. In the wake of a revolutionary technology that grants people a second chance at life, an impenetrable wall divides the prosperous nation of Zion from the slums of MiddleLand. Stuck inside the wall and desperate to reunite with his fiancée, contraband smuggler Asher is hell-bent on finding a way out.

When his uncle offers him a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Asher is faced with an impossible task: impersonate a talented Zion soldier and risk his life in the Canonization, a brutal gladiator duel against a champion who never loses. But defeating an unbeatable opponent and reuniting with his one true love is only the beginning. Asher thought the second life policy was outlawed. But the truth is far more sinister, and he soon finds himself caught up in the middle of a terrifying rebellion that will decide the fate of both sides of the Wall.

As an explosive and futuristic sci-fi adventure that artfully weaves together high-octane action and heart-stopping romance, The Wall presents an unforgettable YA dystopia that's perfect for fans of Divergent, The Hunger Games, and Dune.

An enjoyable read

A good read. Presents an interesting dystopian world though the villains are a bit over the top and irritating at points. The hero is capable but not too perfect.

Great Christian Friendly Adventure!

This book is unique in its genre, as many Christian sci-fi books hide their Christian content below allegory and innuendo, this book weaves it through the entirety with a character-level interaction with the faith. It has a unique sci-fi twist on American dystopia and falls in line with other mainstream fiction like Hunger, Games, Divergent, Ready Player One, and others, some very mild profanity is balanced by a very strong Christian theme. Way to go, Brian! Keep up the good work.

I was hooked!

I love a good Dystopian adventure and this delivered. I appreciated the Christian theme throughout, something that isn’t common in books of a similar genre. Brian did a great job with this one and I can’t wait for book 2!

A great listen for a roadtrip with your teens!

This audiobook held our attention for hours on end. Great narration by Luke Welland he really acted out all the emotion and intensity while telling the story wonderfully! Brian Penn did a nice job of creating this vivid world, a dark future, a desolate and divided America filled with rough-looking, hopeful characters you could picture. Would make for a great movie someday, and we're already looking forward to the sequel!

I can’t wait for the next book!

There were so many twists and turns! And the ending was far from what I expected. It’s so hard to find books that give that much excitement but without all the sex and crude language you find in so many of today’s books. I am very excited to see what the author has in store for his next book.

Captivating Read

I loved this book. All the characters were relatable and nicely fleshed out. The story kept me wanting to go on and I can't wait for the next book to see what happens next! I enjoyed the Christian aspects sprinkled into the story line. It was well done and added to the story to make it more captivating. The performance of the voice actor was also well done and added to the enjoyment.

Great Story

This was a great book. I’m a huge fan of Hunger Games and this was a great Christian dystopian book. One of the things about Hunger Games, is there’s no God, I never understood that and this put God right in the middle of it. This was a great read.

US history, dystopia, and a love for God.

Great book. highly recommend for anyone who loves U.S. history and our Lord. I love the way that pieces of the Bible are embedded into this story.

The Wall

The Wall by Brian Penn was amazing! I love dystopia books! The story line was heart wrenching and made you really think! At one moment I was laughing it's going to work out and the next I was about in tears! The Wall was a Rollercoaster of emotions! I highly recommend this book! I can't wait to read The Fall!

Clever and unique storyline!

Loved the creative and fast paced plot. Such a unique storyline that I couldn't stop listening. Not the ending I expected, can't wait for book 2!
