The Forerunner has decimated the Vanguard Islands in a surprise attack from the Trident warship. King Kade Long—seeing no alternative—accepts a peace deal, committing to a perilous mission with X, the “Immortal,” to activate weather-modification reactors at the poles. But as Kade and X set off, the fragile peace is threatened by Gran Jefe’s one-man guerrilla war against the psychopathic knight, General Jack. Meanwhile, halfway across the world, Michael and his family begin to settle into their new life in the Canary Islands, only to discover that it’s not the sanctuary they believed it was.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this entire series from beginning to end. What an absolute wonderful combination of storytelling, narration, character, development, and plot line. Great work, job well done.

A bit slow. A bit disjointed. Not bad but just lacked that magnetic pull that really good stories possess. Again, not bad.

It’s not bad
Reviewed: 01-19-25
It’s just predictable and doesn’t have much depth to it. I think it provides a means to wrap up the storyline. The narration is weird. The narrator puts a weird emphasis on everything so it just sounds a bit off from where it ought to be. I didn’t have any trouble getting through it…It’s just a three star story.

I’m sure I will continue to listen to the series as I generally like the content. But this is like a training manual for the prepper mindset. Fast food architecture.

Michael Crichton, creator of Jurassic Park, ER, Twister, and Westworld, had a passion project he’d been pursuing for years, ahead of his untimely passing in 2008. Knowing how special it was, his wife, Sherri Crichton, held back his notes and the partial manuscript until she found the right author to complete it: James Patterson, the world’s most popular storyteller.

That’s what this story is. If you go to 7-Eleven to get dinner, you accept it’s going to be a certain quality. The storyline was kind of jumpy and the characters were pretty thin.

A book for women
Reviewed: 07-17-24
The narration is excellent, and the storyline is probably also very good but I wasn’t able to hear past the obvious themes oriented to 16-year-old girls. It’s a love story with the same old plot of the stubborn girl who can’t do what she’s supposed to do in a fish out of water story. Again, if you’re looking for a love story with a lot of sexual tension in a pretty cool world with some pretty good characters, this book will probably be great for you. If you’re a dude looking for action and adventure, this is not it. If you’re somewhere in between, it’s probably worth a gamble.

Relayed in his own unsparing voice, Demon braves the modern perils of foster care, child labor, derelict schools, athletic success, addiction, disastrous loves, and crushing losses.

The storyline is so rich and complex, and flows so well, it was very difficult to put down. I can’t give it enough praise. And the narration was exceptional. The perfect voice for the character and ensemble. A mark has been left upon me.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 20,156
All good things must come to an end, Constant Listener, and not even Stephen King can write a story that goes on forever. The tale of Roland Deschain's relentless quest for the Dark Tower has, the author fears, sorely tried the patience of those who have followed it from its earliest chapters. But attend to it a while longer, if it pleases you, for this volume is the last, and often the last things are best.

Geeze! I’m not sure how many hours I invested into listening to the entire series but I’m sure glad I did! What a splendid adventure. It’s never exactly what you think it’s gonna be with Stephen King and I always feel like I come away somewhat damaged but also with my third eye fully engaged! Good times. Loved it.
