Title: Audiobook Review - "The Endarkened" by Franklin Horton, Narrated by Kevin Pierce

Welcome listeners to this audio review of Franklin Horton's latest book in The Borrowed World series, "The Endarkened," narrated by the esteemed Kevin Pierce. For fans of Horton's work and newcomers alike, this novel is an exhilarating addition to the post-apocalyptic genre that combines suspense, humor, and non-stop action to create a memorable experience.

"The Endarkened" picks up with the tenacity expected from Horton. In a world thrown into darkness and chaos after a series of crippling attacks, we follow the struggle of the protagonists as they navigate the crumbling remnants of society. Horton's skill in world-building shines brightly here, crafting an atmosphere that is both deeply immersive and hauntingly realistic. Each page seems to turn itself, as readers are pulled through a gauntlet of emotional highs and lows.

What sets this novel apart from other entries in the genre is its ability to weave moments of genuine comedy amidst the tension. Horton understands that even in the darkest times, humor can be a survival tool, and he uses it masterfully to develop his characters and provide moments of relief from the intensity of the narrative. These light-hearted moments do not undercut the action, but rather, they enrich the human experience portrayed within the book, making characters relatable and endearing.

As for the action, Horton delivers in spades. His capacity to describe chaotic scenes is vivid and visceral. Readers can practically feel the grit and smell the smoke as bullets fly and plans fall apart. The sense of urgency is palpable, with brilliantly choreographed sequences that are both imaginative and grounded in a stark reality.

Nevertheless, Kevin Pierce's narration elevates the tale to new heights. Often referred to as the "voice of the apocalypse," Pierce's gravelly timbre and skillful pacing encapsulate the gravity of a world on the brink. His ability to give distinct voices to characters brings a layer of depth to the experience, allowing listeners to fully engage with each individual's struggle, triumphs, and even quirks.

Pierce's narration further adds to the suspenseful nature of the story, as he masterfully builds tension with each word, only to break it with perfectly timed delivery of the book's lighter moments. His understanding of the material and connection with the audience is clear, making for an audiobook that is as enjoyable to listen to as it is engrossing.

In summary, "The Endarkened" is a stellar continuation of The Borrowed World series that will not disappoint. Franklin Horton manages to balance the darkness of a post-apocalyptic world with the light of human resilience and humor. Combined with Kevin Pierce's outstanding narration, this audiobook is a thrilling adventure that hooks listeners from start to finish. For those who enjoy rich storytelling accompanied by top-notch audio performance, this book is an absolute must-listen.

I feel bad RC Bray had to read this trash...

I love the author but this book should be left out of his line up. Total trash. A train wreck that never gets better and never answers any questions.

WOW! This book opened my eyes!

Revisado: 11-15-23

I finished it the first day. I had no idea about what BORTAC, BORSTAR or anything else border related was or is. The author does an excellent job educating and enlightening about all things border related. We are lucky to have Men and Women doing such thankless work.

The politicians and media of this country love to tarnish the border and even worse undermine those doing the tough job trying to secure it and make it safe for all.

This is an awesome book and a great time to shine light on the people, jobs and effort put forth by the Green Line.

I highly recommend this book. Unlike other military / police books this is a book the whole family can listen and learn from. It is straight forward and not profanity filled. The author is a subject matter expert and passionate about the topic. Get your copy and get educated and entertained.

The harsh reality...

Revisado: 01-13-20

The harsh reality of the Christian worldview when unpolluted by weak preachers who tell lies about the true nature of God.
