The Awakened

The Lazarus Chronicles, Book 1

De: Richard Spillman

Narrado por: Matt Hicks

Everyone dies once. But what if a chosen few were raised from the dead?

Two thousand years ago, Jesus resurrected his friend Lazarus, who founded a secret organization: SOAR. Since then, Jesus has added to the resurrected - The Awakened - to aid Lazarus in SOAR's battle against Satan's slaves, the UnVeilers.

The threat is escalating. The UnVeilers have stepped up their attacks on mankind through a charming leader and a devastating series of bombings in Dubai and Tel Aviv.

But the invasion doesn't stop with international terrorism. The UnVeilers are searching for a secret that Jesus embedded in Lazarus' journal that not even Lazarus knows - and it will determine the fate of mankind.

After a failed cyber-attack against SOAR's computers, Lazarus and his team of experts must find the secret before the UnVeilers do. What clue is he overlooking that could turn the tide of this ageless conflict?

The souls fighting with Lazarus are weary, but the war against evil is far from won. Can Lazarus and his team set aside their longing for heaven and put a stop to these satanic attacks before it's too late?

Riveting

I enjoyed all aspects of this audio book! The narrator was excellent with the many characters he voiced. The pacing perfect. And the story? Totally believable...in spite of it being speculative fiction. I was caught up in the action right away. It's good to know that The Awakened is the first in a series!!

Resurrected

For a while, I'd been searching for a good book to listen to. Unfortunately, many fantasy novels left a bad taste due to their explicit content. However, I came across this series which not only provided a clean reading or listening experience, but also reinforced a personal truth I've kept aside. As humans, we often struggle and are influenced more than we'd like, but these books affirmed the strength we find in Christ. A big thank you to Richard Spillman for his impactful work. Keep doing Gods work, stay strong, and I'm eagerly awaiting your next book.

And after writing the review this song came on felt fitting.
To not worship you by MercyMe.

Matt Hicks brings this excellent story to life!

I love Richard Spillman’s book, The Awakened, and had already read it on my own. Getting to listen to it on audio brought another layer of depth to the story. Hicks does an excellent job with the many varieties of accents, as well as keeping me on the edge of my seat with his narration skills. I listen to audiobooks all the time and this one I devoured in less than 24 hours! Can’t wait for the next installment in the series.

Exciting, thrilling, and well written story!

I truly enjoyed this book and am looking forward to reading book 2! The book is well written, exciting, and has great character development. I love books that make me laugh out loud. While this book is not written to be a humorous book, the author has included quotes from both books and movies that add humor to the story. I also really enjoy the Biblical aspect of the book and that it is written in a way that even a non-Christian could enjoy the book and hopefully be inspired to learn more about who Jesus is and what he has to offer. Thank you Dr. Spillman, great book!
