Publisher's summary

An undead super soldier possessed by the devil aims to destroy the world in this thriller from the international best-selling author of Dark Visions.

He was their deadliest killer

The late Roth Tiberius Cain, legendary CIA hit man, is gone, but not forgotten. A top-secret project code-named Genocide One has given him a chance to live again and enough firepower to kill multitudes - and survive to kill another day.

Now he is their greatest nightmare

Grotesquely transformed, Cain has become the ultimate predator: a killing machine with the soul of a devil. And the only force that can stop him is a trio of flawed people: a soldier who lost his family and his soul to a terrorist’s bullets, a priest who has lost his faith to the power of sin, and the beautiful scientist who created Cain and then lost control of him. Now, in a 10-day countdown to Armageddon, all they have left to lose is the survival of the human race.

Excellent story, but hard to listen to

Something about the narrator was just horribly difficult to listen to. He was almost to the point of being irritating. It was work trying to figure out when he changed characters. if I could give a 0 for the performance of the narrator I would. I will never listen to another book narrated by Tom Lennon.

Now on to the store. Great story, I enjoyed the book. The author has a tendency to use 3,000 words to do what 300 could have. All in all a great story. I suggest reading the actual book, instead of listening to the audiobook.

great

waited a long time for this one to come to audible. worth it. more please

A Little Long, But Worth It

As another reviewer stated, I also read this book a few years back and listening gives you another perspective of the story...The characters are very realistic, and a couple of them are quite evil !You can’t help but keep turning the pages. Yes it was a little long but worth investing the time...I have listened to a few of Tom Lennon's books that he has narrated, and IMO he is a talented narrator, and this book is no exception. I received this in an audiobook give away, and I am giving my voluntary unbiased review.

action thriller

For me, this seemed to drag on and on, with one conflict after another to neutralize and eradicate Cain and save Amy. I lost interest after several hours. Good versus evil. I did enjoy the ending. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a great job bringing it to life.

DiVinchi Code meets Frankenstein

Somehow the author makes this strange mix work. Perhaps overly long, but it does manage to hold your interest all the way through.

Wow, still great

I read this many years ago when in College, still great. Classic Huggins, long, but worth it.

So disappointed!

I read this book years ago and liked it very much. Have been looking for it on Audible for a good while so when I saw it finally available I was very happy. Immediately used a credit to download. Very quickly I realized that it would be a struggle to get through. The narrator is probably the worst overall I’ve heard. Hard to even describe the irritation in listening to this guy. Terrible at trying to do different characters, Never seems to pause or indicate a change in character or chapter. One just runs into the next most of the time. Little or no emotion and everything he says sounds the same. He almost totally ruined the book for me. Will not listen to anything else from this narrator.

I'm torn

I am so torn. I heard this book on cassette by a reader with a rich deep voice. this reader leaves me wanting and my brain wandering. I am returning it.
