The Lost Prophet

Divine Space, Book 1

De: Fuad Baloch

Narrado por: Fuad Baloch

A prophet from the past. A world under invasion. To save his homeland’s future, he must pit ancient powers against a space-age enemy.

Medieval prophet Gulatu Koza often looks to the heavens and imagines his eternal reward. But when his day of reckoning arrives, he wakes up to an Earth 800 years in the future. Above him, he’s shocked to see familiar stars sharing the sky with strange ships in flight. No sooner than he makes his peace with the curious new world and the alien colonists living alongside humans, a hostile fleet arrives with a bloody purpose.

With Earth under attack, Gulatu struggles to help defend against an enemy light-years ahead of anything he’s ever experienced. But when he comes into contact with ancient alien artifacts, his own powers of prophecy grow in ways he could never have divined. In the face of startling new abilities and intergalactic war, Gulatu must make an impossible choice: Betray the cornerstone of his faith, or stand by as humanity fights a losing battle for survival.

The Lost Prophet is the first exciting story in a duology of sci-fi fantasy novels. If you like mind-bending adventures, earth-destroying stakes, and a touch of philosophy then you’ll love Fuad Baloch’s compelling tale of time travel and extraterrestrial invaders.

Good but just short of great

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
The book is ok, but I just wouldn't put it in a classic category. It was well written but just a little weird in places. I think the narrator helped to bring the story to life.

Very Interesting story

Galutu is a time traveling prophet. He struggles with his faith, his identity and loving his wife who has been dead 800 years and loving an alien woman and a human woman in his present. While I would have loved for there to have been some actual polyamory themes here only polygamy was mentioned. Clean book, only one kiss.... no real curse words, other words used in place of my favorite F word.
The story was really good, very glad I listened to the audio version or I may have gotten hung up on names, planet and civilization pronunciations....
I love time travel and I love science fiction and fantasy. If you are looking for something altogether different than anything else you’ve read I’d recommend this book.
I was voluntarily provided this review copy at no charge by the author, publisher and or narrator.

A thoughtful and complex book

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

This was an interesting book. It is quite different from any other sci fi or fantasy novel I've read or listened to before. It has a very philosophical feel to it. The narration, like the writing, is well done but kind of different... It is a little hard to describe... So, the author narrated his own book. Sometimes, that just doesn't work and can make for a really awkward listen. In this case, it isn't bad. He has a bit of an accent, but once I got used to it, I stopped noticing it. The dialog has a very formal feel to it, which also took a little getting used to. All in all, I rather quite enjoyed the book and would definitely be open to more books in this series.

Story is a solid 4-4.5 but I suggest get it as an audio book

So the story is well done and I enjoyed it. I recommend reading this book as an ebook or even on paperback if offered. If I get a chance I will go back and read it that way.

However the author is also the narrator and I’ll give him props he can do narration just not for this type of book. I would suggest an older man recounting a mystery would be his style. For this type of book it was not the right match. He voice is very calm and not the type of excitement the story seems like it should. Plus I will be honest even after listening to the book I have no idea if he is saying Alf or Elf as the god and when I heard Alf I just kept thinking of the old 80’s/90’s show I saw as reruns as a kid.

This is an honest and unbiased review left in turn for being given this book to review.

Strange and different

Not sure how to put this Book into a genre it tries to be different Books in the same Book.


If you are looking for a Audio Book that is creative and has a strange variety of characters then you may enjoy this Book.


The Narrator did a good job with the material.

Don't have high hopes

I think i can usually see the potential in series, this book doesn't give me hope or any interest in continung.

"Philosophy"

there are 2 points of philosophy here:
1. God what should i do now
2. Don't attack others until they attack you ....

Constantly asking for help from your imaginary friend is pretty weird too. Isnt it "god helps he who helps himself?" so why the hell does this guy keep whining about not getting any help

Interesting

I enjoyed the premise of the book, getting behind the characters and fully understanding what was going on at all times proved difficult. I will relisten in Hope's of a better understanding.

Hard core !!!

Fuad Baloch wrote an Incredible hard core science fiction.
Discovering new author showed up out of the blue and write such a beautiful space opera is not normal for me.
Excellent language, beautifully written.
Also not normal to me is that the author himself have narrated his own audiobook and have done a perfect job of it ( no other narrator could have done the Prophet voice so convincingly ).
Also something about this audiobook, I can’t put my finger on it but it did reminded me of Dune.
The problem about this Space Opera is that the author have divided it into two books, the first book is not a simple one and slow which if you are not a hard core SiFi lover I believe that it can cause people to give up on finishing and continuing to the second book where it really gets good, with action and twists.


So yes I do recommend this audiobook, stick to it and move to the second one.






Got this audiobook for free in exchange for an honest review.

I had great expectations for this book.

I just could not get into this book. I listened through chapter nine, but it never clicked with me. Which is a shame. The author, Faud Balock, and I went through too much of a hassle getting me this audiobook for review. I sure appreciate that, Faud. Just because I could not get into this book does not mean you will not either. If you use a credit, just return the book and get something more in line with what you do like. Anyway, here is the obligatory: "I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review."
