Lifting the Veil: Fallen

Lifting the Veil, Book 1

De: John O'Brien

Narrado por: Mark Gagliardi

Humanity is plunging down a slippery slope of morality. Righteous attitudes abound with malice, hatred, and discontent prevailing in the currents riding through humankind. In the spiritual planes, battles between the light and darkness are being fought over souls for their very existence. Assailed on all sides, heaven is left with no choice but to open the seven seals.

The horsemen are summoned and ride forth. Conquest, the drums of war, hunger, and death are felt by all.

Humanity is left standing on the brink where the slightest tremor will send it plunging into the abyss. Will humankind survive the tribulation placed upon it? Or will it vanish into oblivion?

Good book

I won't lie I struggled with this book, it was very "technical" with a bit of story in it. After reading the reviews though I figured I was not alone so decided to give the rest of the series a try, I am glad I did. This book is really about setting everything up for the next books, stick with it, you won't regret it!

I really enjoyed this 1st book in the Ceres

While it was tedious at some points I enjoy the book nonetheless. Thank you for

Not his best work.

I love John O'brien. This is not his best work. there are no real main characters to invest in. 75% of the book is describing the apocalypse. This feels more like an extremely long pro logue than a book meant to cause the reader to invest in the story and characters. I was almost let down. But Gagliardi make anything sound great. I listened to it twice to make sure I didn't miss anything. I most defenitely did not. One long pro logue.

phenomenal

edge of the seat. compelling read. scary reality though. makes me ready to prepare a bunker now.

Started off with a bang ended with a whimper

Started off with a bang ended with a whimper. I really thought I was going to love this book and didn't.

A little too much detailed description and no real characters to care about. The characters in the book, I'm sure, are to be developed in later books, but this first book should have given us someone to care about. Which it doesn't.

The writer, who writes very well by the way, beats an opinion to death, which unless you are somewhat of a zealot is just plain boring. He also broached politics and frankly, I read to escape politics, and was disappointed.

If you are a religious person, you will probably not like this book. I sure the writer took license with the Bible. But so does every religion I know.

I was just plain disappointed.
