Story
James Patterson’s thrilling adventure series gets an exclusive, audio-only origin story in Daniel X: Genesis, brought to life by an all-star cast. We meet Daniel, an ordinary teen just trying to navigate his way through high school. That all changes when he discovers he has super powers and can conjure up anything, at any time, just by imagining it. Suddenly he’s meeting powerful entities who tell him he is not, in fact, a typical teenage human but an alien...and his parents died not in a car wreck but in an epic battle with an intergalactic villain.

The voices and sound effects were excellent! But. The characters and story are very one-dimensional and somewhat predictable. It seems like a script for a Disney movie.

Overall I liked the storyline. It is epic in scope, and quite interesting yet it can be a little ponderous. Additionally I found the names spider confusing because they are repetitive through time yet the amount of time passed is often vague.

Just okay
Reviewed: 09-24-22
I’ve enjoyed Koontz’s books for decades but this one wasn’t very good.
The story was slow and often bogged down by tedious minutiae and meaningless detail.
While the plot was tied up at the end, the majority of the story felt random instead of building on information that led/showed the reader where it was heading.
The narrator was okay but the voice she gave to the lead woman childish and unintelligent.
I cannot recommend this book to anyone. I wouldn’t have finished it except I am recovering from surgery and have nothing else to do.
