The Oculus Gate, Book 2

By: Bryan Davis

Narrated by: Sean Alexander

Length: 9 hrs and 58 mins

Publisher's summary

The enemy must be faced...even in the pit of hell.

The fake angels have been vanquished, but the devastation they caused remains—a world in fear of anarchy and a deadly contagion that might soon sweep across every continent. The angels also opened the Oculus Gate, allowing entry of a new breed of aliens. These “Refectors” are taking over human bodies that were purged of their souls by the angels’ toxic vaccine.

Ben Garrison’s highly skilled team, with the recent addition of Leo the huntsman and Iona, a sharpshooting teenager, must figure out why these possessed humans are traveling to remote locations near the Arctic Circle. Satellite images indicating the presence of yet another alien race make the team’s quest to Alaska and Siberia to learn the truth even more dangerous.

A message from Ben’s departed commander provides a cryptic clue to the existence of the root of all the alien evils, a self-styled sorceress who seems able to calculate every move her opponents make.

Ben and company must invade hell itself to find this ancient evil and conquer her in hopes of ending the plagues on mankind once and for all.

Excellent Listen!

If you thought Heaven Came Down was exciting, then Invading Hell will take you to the next level! A great read (or listen)! The narrator does a great job at portraying the characters. I really liked the way he voiced Leo. Just like I’d imagine him sounding. The Garrisons wind up traveling to Hell in this one, and nothing is as it seems, with a new arch nemesis for the sibling team and their allies to face! I especially enjoyed the way the narrator delivered the lines of this new enemy - very cold, and calculating. Loved this book, and am excited for where the story takes the heroes next!

Very Surprised!!

I listened to the first audio book and thought it was a good story. Not the typical story I listen to. I did enjoy this second book much more. The story was much more exciting than the first one. The characters were all more developed and interesting. The narrator did an excellent job as well.

Amazing story

Invading Hell is a very interesting and well-thought-out story. An intriguing premise that brings Angels to Earth through the Oculus Gate also causes some people to get sent into Hell when they shouldn't have been. When your friends go to Hell its your job to go and save them.

I'm not doing the story justice by that brief description, but I loved the first book and this one as well I can't wait to find out what happens next.

5 Stars!

Second book do not read first

*Audiobook review*

Invading Hell is the second book in The Oculus Gate series from Bryan Davis. The first book is Heaven Came Down. Do not read these books out of order. They are very much an interconnected story.

Invading Hell I like a lot of Davis's other series where people jump between worlds and deal with supernatural threats. If you liked Time Echos, Dragons in our Midst, Then you will enjoy this classic Davis adventure where the danger is multiversal and the stakes are eternal.

This book was a never ending thrill ride of suspense and action. So much so that I had to force myself not to listen to it before bed because I knew it would keep me up.

Even though the narrator for this book differed from the first book, it was still an enjoyable experience. This narrator was great in his own right and it sounded like he was trying to give each character a voice similar to the one they had in the first book. Overall, great job picking up the narration, I hope he continues throughout the series.

Well done

Well done and engaging book. The author does voices so that helps keep things straight. Can't wait for the next one!
