Chasing Shadows

Sekret Machines Series, Book 1

De: Tom DeLonge, A. J. Hartley

Narrado por: Paul Costanzo

The witnesses are legion, scattered across the world and dotted through history, people who looked up and saw something impossible lighting up the night sky. What those objects were, where they came from, and who - or what - might be inside them is the subject of fierce debate and equally fierce mockery, so that most who glimpsed them came to wish they hadn't.

Most, but not everyone.

Among those who know what they've seen and are forever changed by it are a pilot, an heiress, a journalist, and a prisoner of war. From the waning days of the 20th century's final great war to the fraught fields of Afghanistan to the otherworldly secrets hidden amid Nevada's dusty neverlands - the truth that is out there will propel each of them into a labyrinth of otherworldly technology and the competing aims of those who might seek to prevent - or harness - these beings of unfathomable power. Because, as it turns out, we are not the only ones who can invent and build and destroy.

Featuring actual events and other truths drawn from sources within the military and intelligence community, Tom DeLonge and A. J. Hartley offer a tale at once terrifying, fantastical, and perhaps all too real.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Twisted. Explosive. The best thriller of the year!" (Faith Hunter, New York Times best-selling author)

Amazing story worthy of standing neck to neck with Whitley Streiber

This book was written very well and I found it very similar to Whitley Streibers "The Greys" as far as the format of multiple plots of multiple people meeting to a similar plot. This book was very suspenseful and excited as a person very much into ufology. I will be listening to this book a few more times anticipating the next release from the authors!!!!! Instant classic!!!

kept me hooked

At first I was apprehensive of the authors choice of telling this story from multiple perspectives, but I soon became enthralled. Only a mere few chapters in I was hooked. being a New Englander I did find the narrators attempt at a New Englander accent during the the Hills abduction experience chapter quite humorous. Overall the book is long and yet I was surprised that it was over so soon.

Amazing book!

Amazing job with the Narrator, kept my mind racing and on the edge. Amazing book looking forward to the series.

A Heart-Racing Search for Truth Amid the Shadows

What did you love best about Chasing Shadows?

Tom DeLonge and AJ Hartley do a masterful job of weaving various characters and story lines that race toward a cohesive narrative toward the end. The authors tease bits and pieces of historical and speculative information without overwhelming the listener. The subject matter raised enough questions to leave me wanting more.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Timika was my favorite character because she was the most resourceful and heroic. She was driven by her search for truth and her instincts. Both characteristics made her compelling. In addition, she served as the "Everyman" character. She reacted the way many of us would if faced with a similar situation.

What about Paul Costanzo’s performance did you like?

Paul Costanzo's performance was the perfect canvass for the events to unfold. He told a story simply and well.

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

The truth will surprise you.

Fascinating and fast-paced

Great story, great narrator. I really loved it and amazingly, there wasn't a lull in the story. All the characters were great, too, wow. I plowed through this fast and didn't want it to end!

For all the crazy, welcome

This helped me get at ease for the truth that is about to come. Prepare for ontological shock

Can’t wait to see where this goes!

So glad I finally listened to this one! Well written. Exciting. Thought provoking! Makes you wonder if the conspiracies are really conspiracies!

Just great!

Slow start but well-worth the credit!
Great piece of fiction(?) mixed with good science.

liked the way all part messed together at end

to much army and explanation on plane detail . I have nothing else to say

It’s kinda clunky

Overall, it’s pretty good, I think it’s pretty easy to tell the fiction from the nonfiction or the parts that you’re at least supposed to believe are non-fiction. If you are an avid ufo/alien fan a lot of this will not come as new material. But maybe there’s a few surprises. It might leave you with a few questions, but then you’re wondering whether that’s the fiction or nonfiction or maybe it’s just all fiction who knows.
