Endgame: The Calling

By: James Frey

Narrated by: Sunil Malhotra

The New York Times bestseller and international multimedia phenomenon!

In each generation, for thousands of years, twelve Players have been ready. But they never thought Endgame would happen. Until now.

Omaha, Nebraska. Sarah Alopay stands at her graduation ceremony—class valedictorian, star athlete, a full life on the horizon. But when a meteor strikes the school, she survives. Because she is the Cahokian Player. Endgame has begun.

Juliaca, Peru. At the same moment, thousands of miles away, another meteor strikes. But Jago Tlaloc is safe. He has a secret, and his secret makes him brave. Strong. Certain. He is the Olmec Player. He's ready. Ready for Endgame.

Across the globe, twelve meteors slam into Earth. Cities burn. But Sarah and Jago and the ten others Players know the truth. The meteors carry a message. The Players have been summoned to The Calling. And now they must fight one another in order to survive. All but one will fail. But that one will save the world. This is Endgame.

Interesting story, but not audio book material.

It was a good story. However, in the paper book there must be graphs, charts, and data at the beginning of some chapters. This means, you end up listening to the narrator just read aloud different numbers and what not at the beginning of some chapters. In one instance, I remember skipping through at least a couple minutes of just numbers. So I would recommend the book, really an interesting story, but definitely do a paper edition so you can see what they are ineffectively trying to relate.

12 tribes decide fate of humanity

The book offers up a plausible set of events where normal people through out the world are well trained killers who are fighting for the lives of family and friends. The book takes you on a race to find hidden artifacts that will decide the fate of humanity. It shows the instant survival is on the line how people will act and do anything possible to preserve their futures. Great read.

Great Story!

The book was awesome! The narrator could have been better, but accents can be hard to mimic sometimes. Other than that, great character and world building throughout the story.

best story I read in a long time

it's been quiet a few years where a good story had me hooked from the start. I'm so glad I gave this book a read. I love the plot and even better it's a series. I'm so excited to start sky key

Interesting story

I did like the story but presentation was a bit strange, would help to say the chapters in the processes so you know where you are. Other than that. The story is good
