The Gift of Samuel: Grey Dawn

By: Paul Padrón

Narrated by: Andrew Pond

In a time where computers and cell phones no longer function, money has no value, and humanity itself is threatened, 15-year-old Joshua Barratt takes to the road and pushes his mind, body and spirit to their limits. His fight to survive and reconnect with others forces Joshua to question his motives, his self-worth, and ultimately the reality around him. A gift beyond his understanding is waiting for him if he can just find the courage to seek it.

Great listen!!

This is not my typical genre, but I listened for bookclub and liked it! Interesting storyline and I’m definitely curious about the next book. A good conversation starter for all! Paul does a good job weaving what is happening in our current world with a sci-fi world. I loved the voices of the characters!

Gripping and Inspiring Story

I simply loved this story and could not stop listening over the past three days. The characters are relatable, and the story moves along at a wonderful pace. This book touches on many timely topics while set in an alternate reality. It is philosophical, thought provoking, and entertaining throughout. Highly recommended.

Gray dystopian read.

Great read. Well thought out and woven with strong, liberating messages. Can’t wait for the next book in this series!

Great story - imaginative, amusing and thought-provoking. A must read for any book lover!

Powerful story of a young man searching for a better life - dealing with true friendship, loss, sacrifice and heroism!
Loved it and often question many of the thoughts that the main character struggles with throughout the story. The book offers great advice and true grit with sprinkles of faith that somehow pull the character through some rough patches - even with his doubts.
Belinda’s voice was a bit trying, but I thought the story was well written and left me wondering what will happen next.
Definitely recommend!
