The Savants

De: Patrick Kendrick

Narrado por: Scott Ellis

Dr. Stephen Pevnick is a world renowned behavioral scientist as well as an advisor to the president of the United States. He has gathered the world's most prodigious savants - people with astonishing intellectual abilities - to his research center in Maine. His intent is to conduct an unprecedented experiment, to have the savants work on a common project together; a major challenge because the savants, while gifted, do not possess the social skills that might enable them to work as an effective team.

But, soon after they gather, a catastrophic event occurs that threatens to destroy the Eastern Seaboard. The world's best scientists are helpless to stop it as panic grips the country, and a sinister conspiracy emerges with the potential to eradicate the free world. Can this group, plagued by their own insecurities and doubts, come together and use their incredible skills to save the world, or will the dark forces that set this disaster in motion prevail?

Any additional comments?

The narrator "Scott Ellis" did a remarkable job changing from character to character. He was very consistent with accents and personalities. I will seek out other books he has narrated.

I was given this book free from Audiobook Boom in exchange for an honest review,

Brilliant Sci Fi Political thriller!

I was sceptical to start this as many Sci Fi novels have been disappointing as of late... however, the author did an incredible job of character and story line development. I felt as if I was in the story and couldn't stop listening.

The narrator was also great, he really brought the characters to life... The editing and performance were flawless. It's a very fun listen and I'd definitely recommend it!

very interesting concept

a true hail Mary for savants.. saving the world is a hard task in itself much less for the unlikely group of savants.. against all odds they will prevail..

I received a free copy of this book and voluntarily decided to review."

Any additional comments?

It took me a couple of chapters to really get interested the story. It just didn’t pull me in at first. Once it did though I listened to it in one sitting. It is actually a very entertaining, engaging and interesting story. Great characters coupled with an intriguing plotline equals a really darn good book. Definitely worth your time.

Political intrigue coupled with an impending intentional man made disaster. A great balance of suspense, humor and action.

The story is constantly moving forward. No middle of the book filler/lull.

Sound effects took me by surprise by just added to experience of the book.

The Savants stole the book. Love the way the way they were portrayed. Loved the insight into how each came to their gifts. Everyone has something to contribute. Even if it is not done in the "normal" expected way. Thinking outside the box is how problems are solved.

There is always someone who wants to be top dog and doesn’t care what they have to do or who they have to hurt to get there.

Scott Ellis did a good job with the narration. Pleasant voice. Really good character voices. Clearly spoken with great delivery. He was able to bring the characters to life, especially the Savants. All around a very enjoyable listen.

The Savants

This was a good book.It was full of science and action.The fate of the world is left to a group of unconventional scientific types referred to as 'The Savants'.They're artistic,developementally disabled, etc.They are also young.Scott Ellis was a fine narrator.I wish I would have known going in that this was a Christian YA series.It is always a let down to me when that happens to a series I might read otherwise.I was provided this book free by the author,narrator or publisher.
