De: Jacqueline Druga

Narrado por: Rick Gregory

Exodus is the second book in the Last Days Trilogy.

Following his successful experiment of extracting DNA to clone the image upon the Shroud of Turin, Dr. Marcus Leon faces a world torn asunder.

The clone takes the name Devante and assumes a role of great power. His presence and deception bring about biblical-like destruction upon the Earth.

While Devante seems unstoppable, only one person, his creator, Marcus Leon, holds the key to ending it all. But can Marcus survive not only the forces of nature, but the forces of Devante and build the army needed before it’s too late?

Interesting listen Mixing science and religion

What made the experience of listening to Exodus: Book Two: Last Days Trilogy the most enjoyable?

The mixture of science and religion. cloning is a reality. Can a human entirely be cloned for DNA? Hmm

What other book might you compare Exodus: Book Two: Last Days Trilogy to and why?

Jurassic Park. There was a movie that was similar but I believe it was written from a screen play

Which scene was your favorite?

One of the Characters Marcus fully realizes what he has done by creating Devante. One of those Oh No moments

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It was overall tense and exciting what would happen next??? Who would win Good vs Evil a lot of thinking about where we are headed and if science crosses lines that maybe best not crossed

Any additional comments?

I highly suggest starting with book 1. Some books one can start with the second book and pick it up. This series one is best to read the first book. A lot of details would be lost otherwise

I was given the book to review by the author . The opinions are mine alone after reading Book 2 in the series

New approach to "End of World" story

Would you listen to Exodus: Book Two: Last Days Trilogy again? Why?

No; I seldom listen or read the same book multiple times.

What did you like best about this story?

The way the story goes on without you being able to guess where it is leading.

Which scene was your favorite?

When Marcus and Reggie finally realize their need for each other.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I did not; but the book made me feel the humor of it.

Any additional comments?

This book was provided free in expectation of a review. I have enjoyed both book one and book two. The story is very well written and flows smoothly. This is a very different approach to telling the story of how the world ends. It does not move in a manner I would have expected. I have enjoyed the adventures of this young couple as they move through the issues involved in survival and their struggle to try to save the world.

The narration in outstanding. The multiple voices for each person and how well they are done is unusual. I can hear the humor in the way they are done and the quality is very understandable.

Awesome!

This biblically apocalyptic series is awesome! I highly suggest listening to book 1 first. Dr Marcus Leon extracted DNA from the Shroud of Turin in book 1 in attempt to clone Christ. The cloning was successful, but it wasn't Christ. Devante is the anti-christ and he is ready to bring the end of days for mankind. I can't wait for book 3! Great narration by Rick Gregory!

I NEED the next book!

Exodus continues the weirdness started in Last Days, when Marcus accidentally cloned the Antichrist. It follows the stories of the true believers and the people who know Devante is the deceiver. Nice job by the narrator.

A thoroughly enjoyable intricate story!

This book was a delightful surprise to me as I was expecting a stronger religious tone to the book. The premise is an interesting concept and the story delivers an engaging listen/read with some surprises and a lot of humour. The characters are thoroughly developed and you quickly feel engaged with them. The relationships between characters feel real and the bond between Marcus and Reggie is especially poignant.

The narration was of a high standard with each character being distinct and identifiable, I personally loved the sound of Devante and think that it captured the essence of the character.

This book is the second in the series and without having read/listened to the first I cannot comment how it fits in overall. I will say that as a standalone it gives you plenty of background to be able to follow the story if not answer all of the questions I may have.
If like my Father you dislike religious based books I think this is not your normal fire and brimstone book (despite there being some of that) and tackles the subject with equal parts brevity and humour giving a very emotional feel to the book.
I will be placing this series on my list to finish.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily provided this review.
