Publisher's summary

The acclaimed actor makes his fiction debut with this enthralling urban fantasy in which a holy warrior must convince a doctor with no faith to help stop a powerful demon and his minions from succeeding in creating hell on earth - a thrilling adventure of science and faith, good and evil, damnation and salvation.

Imagine that everyone you have ever known or loved was forced against their will into a state of demonic possession and spiritual slavery. Imagine an unholy cabal of the world's richest and most powerful men directing this sinister plan in order to cement their unbridled control of the planet.

Imagine two heroes emerging from that darkness to do battle with the forces of evil.

Set in the mean streets of Chicago, Talon of God is the action-packed adventure centered around Lauryn Jefferson, a beautiful young doctor who is dragged into a seemingly impossible battle against the invisible forces of Satan's army and their human agents that are bent on enslaving humanity in a mission to establish the kingdom of hell on Earth.

But Lauryn is a skeptic, and it's only as she sees a diabolical drug sweep her city and begins to train in the ways of a spirit warrior with the legendary man of God Talon Hunter that she discovers her true nature and inner strength. Facing dangerous trials and tests, it's a true baptism by fire. And if they fail, millions could die. And rivers of blood would flow throughout the land.

Imagine such horror. Such pain. And imagine what it would take to fight against it. For only the strongest and most faithful will survive.

Get ready. Armageddon approaches quickly.

awesome story!!!

this story is very good. Malik did a great job with the voices. it was easy to distinguish between, but at times they did run together.

GREAT BOOK

feels good to read a book of good versus evil where GOD actually sends angels down to help those fight who believe in him. Normally the devil gets the run of the place and the good side has to hope for the best. really enjoyed it can't wait till the next one

Very inspirational 🎎

This novel provided a very thorough definition of faith no matter the odds...and also the true benefit of forgiveness

The story pulled me into the world of Talon.

Can’t wait for the next book. The story is easy to follow and walk to.

Very enjoyable!

Listening to a story is really different than reading one. I enjoyed hearing the voices of each character and could really see what was happening. The inflection of some dialogue didn’t work sometimes but didn’t detract from the experience of a really riveting story. Thank you! Hope to hear the rest of the story.

What an awesome book

If you could sum up Talon of God in three words, what would they be?

Best Audible Book

What was one of the most memorable moments of Talon of God?

My favorite moment was when Lauryn pulled St. Luke into the black cube.

What does Malik Yoba bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I didn't like him at all doing Lauryn's voice but I thought he did a great job with the narration and some of the male voices, particularly the Dad and Lincoln Black. BUT, if there is ever book I can't imagine ANYONE other than Mahershala Ali playing Lincoln Black (think Cottonmouth Stokes from Luke Cage). He was MADE for that part. He was the actual embodiment of evil throughout the book and not St. Luke.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The entire book was pretty moving but I think it kicked everything up a notch when Lauryn began to slowly realize her calling.

Any additional comments?

I can't wait for the next book. I think this book was great for Believers, unbelievers, people of various faiths, people who love Sci-Fi, and people who love mystery.

Finished in 2 days

this was a pretty interesting book. I heard Wesley Snipes interview on the Jason Ellis show, which really made me think more highly of Wesley Snipes as a human being, and decided to check out his book. it was very interesting but my only complaint is yeah the narrator runs his character accents together sometimes.

Steady and satisfying

It was a good read and I found myself looking forward to the next events often. Sewed-in with relevant and thought provoking Bible verses-not too many, not too few. I was also a bit intrigued by commentary and explanations behind the logic of said scriptures throughout the circumstances given throughout the narrative. Overall, good piece of work. Would read the next one.

Good story, and I'm looking forward to the sequel

The story was interesting throughout, and the characters were set up properly. There was mystery when it was necessary, and the ending was nice. I don't understand why people's had a problem with Yoba, it seems like they wanna be critics for the sake of it. He didn't take my focus away from what's important one time, and that's the story.

Phenomenal concept, gripping story telling!

Loved the story. saw an interview on Shade 45 and just had to get the book. I can't wait to see the movie that will be created from this. Thanks Wesley, Ray and Malik(Frat) for giving me something to remember!
