When linguist Andrew Dennison is yanked from his bed by the Secret Service and taken to a top secret facility in the desert, he has no idea he's been brought there to translate the words of an ancient demon.
He joins pretty but cold veterinarian Sun Jones, eccentric molecular biologist Dr. Frank Belgium, and a hodge-podge of religious, military, and science personnel to try and figure out if the creature is, indeed, Satan.
But things quickly go bad, and very soon Andy isn't just fighting for his life, but the lives of everyone on earth…

Not once did I feel my intelligence being insulted and the author did an excellent job navigating around the various cliches and boring writing conventions that plague most horror novels.
If I had to give one bit of criticism it would be with how the romance between the two leads begins. It's awkward and a little contrived but quickly matures into something more mature and believable within a few chapters.
Overall I was very happy and will be continuing to the sequel Holes in the Ground with great anticipation.
Humorous, gory, and just a little bit genre savvy.

If you’re like me and struggle to find decent horror content then this book will at the least tide you over. It was a quick listen so overall I would give it a 3.5/5. Not bad at all, but not the greatest either.
Started off strong!

Would you listen to Origin again? Why?
Regardless of your take on Judeo-Christian beliefs, this is a great roller coaster ride. I would have classified it as horror, but technothriller is also pretty accurate. Gets a little bit intense in some places - not for the squeamish. Thanks, Jack. Well done.Dana Kisor
What did you like best about this story?
It's a man vs. monster story, rather than a man vs. crazy person(s) story.What about Luke Daniels’s performance did you like?
I liked the way he portrayed Bub.If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
If the devil exists, does that prove the existence of God?A great monster story.

Any additional comments?
It's hard to define ORIGIN exactly. "Technohorror" isn't quite right. This is the first story in the Konrath/Kilborn Collective, not to be confused with a "Series" (each subsequent work building upon the same universe, but each book being a stand alone novel). In a word, I'd file ORIGIN squarely under "Monster-Horror". Bub (Beelzebub a.k.a., Satan) is a flesh & blood creature. The threat he poses isn't just psychological, he's a bloody carnivore!ORIGIN has a slow, creepy beginning. As the story builds, it becomes more like a graphic novel in many ways. There's suspense, body-horror, survival-horror, humor, and "Bruce Cambell" style absurdity. It has elements of The Exorcist, The Thing, Aliens, Jurassic Park, Hellboy, and The Evil Dead.
The narrator does a superb job. If you didn't enjoy "The Exorcist", this book may not be for you.The question is....do you find the idea of the Devil scary or do you find the idea laughable? ORIGIN is way more "Horror" than it is "Techno"....IMO. I recommend it, highly.
P.S. Bub eats sheep....And to say that he plays with his food is putting it nicely. I mention this because I loathe any story where cats and dogs are harmed. I can't take it. So, I'm giving a heads up to anyone bothered by the depiction of live feedings.
ORIGIN is like watching a Monster-Movie
