The Façade

The Façade Saga, Book 1

De: Michael S Heiser

Narrado por: Mike Duty

Science fiction meets historical facts in this thrilling novel by ancient language scholar Michael S. Heiser.

Haunted by his parents' death and his career failures, Dr. Brian Scott has begun to settle down in the life he's been given...until he's kidnapped by military insiders known as "The Group".

Disappearances. Visitations. Murder.

Brian and a team of world-class scholars are given a confidential mission: to prepare humanity for a new reality. They are here. But as the government's involvement with extraterrestrials is revealed, strange things begin to happen. Something isn't right. Unraveling layer after layer of deception and counter-deception, Brian moves toward a shocking revelation that will forever alter how humanity sees itself.

Everything represented in The Façade is real: Every document cited exists; every ancient text discussed is authentic; and every historical figure referred to or quoted in it actually exists.

I liked and recommend it, but…

First of all, the narration was distracting. I kept thinking they must have gotten a Groupon deal or something. His voice is good, but it’s hard to tell the characters apart at times and his inflections are frequently off. They also add in background audio that just wasn’t well done. You get used to it after a while. I listened to it at 1.4 speed.

The story is good. My only disappointment was that it was more of a fiction story than anything. I was hoping for a bit more education along the way.

Deceptions of Matt24 and Revelation

I already purchased and had started reading the paper back version of this story. When I found that Audible, I purchased it right away. The narrator makes no attempts are the few female voice as far as pitch, but the attitude he created did let you know which was which. Story is very well written, showing facts, twists and deceit. Brian is a man of true integrity. If you are wondering how the deception spoken of in Matt 24 or Revelation can be accomplished in a practical, scientific yet Scripturally accurate way, this is the book you must read. Only real problems were a couple of "skipped" passages in intense times, like when Brian is telling Melissa how his parents died, like a scratch on a record, it hiccups then moves to the next chapter. Glad I own the book

Incredible

Loved it. Basically real life. Dialogue was just okay, but in other parts it was phenomenal right there alongside the plot line.

This story has it all!

One of the best Biblical fiction books I have heard. The performance isn’t the worst I’ve heard as some have said. The narrator should use different voices for each character to make it easier to follow. There is a lot of dialogue between multiple characters and at times it was hard to tell who was speaking. It didn’t stop me from continuing to listen though. I am starting the next book soon!

SciFi real-myth

Great story left me... nervous. honestly I didn't expect a book to have this kind of effect on me. I understand that this is fiction, but it hits to close to my own convictions. Left me nervous.

Loved it

My husband and I are reading this series and all Dr Growers books. Thank you also for the pod casts.

Great listen, story was captivating!

Please Mr. Mike Duty, read the Portent Sir! You did such an amazing job with Facade!

Thrilling, Chilling, and thought provocative.

I couldn’t be more pleased with the scholarship behind this story. It was a pleasure to listen to as well.

Loved it but part 2 on audio

It was great listen but disappointed part 2 is not in audio book. Not sure if I would have listened to it had I known that fact.

Incredible story, Intrigue, mystery, suspense...it's all here.

Michael Heiser has created a universe and compelling story based on real history and events that is incredible. I listed to this book in a single day because I was RIVETED by the story, characters, character development, and message behind it. I can only hope this would become a major motion picture. can't wait to the read the next 2 volumes!!!
