About this listen
When a streetwise skeptic discovers a cosmic long con, can he rescue humanity from a dark fate?
London. Jake is short on trust. After surviving for seven years in a gang, the twenty-three-year-old thief plans to buy his freedom with one last job at a ribbon-cutting for the mega rich. But he can hardly believe his own eyes when a supernatural force crashes the prototype super-train into the station, killing everyone but Jake.
Tracked to the hospital by the terrible powers seeking to finish him off, the savvy conman flees with a young nurse determined to understand what he's up against. And Jake is certain he's the one being played when a doddering priest lays out a preternatural conspiracy as old as the universe.
Can this reluctant hero shed his all-consuming cynicism and undertake a journey to save humankind?
Faith is the thought-provoking first book in the Faith urban fantasy trilogy. If you like smart but flawed protagonists, exploring the nature of reality and belief, and plenty of action, you'll love Nick Nielsen's eye-opening tale.

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive.

Story
Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Most would rather spend eternity in purgatory than be reborn into this living hell—but not Kyle. Hell is exactly where he wants to rule. There's only one problem. Rival gangs have set their sights on his territory, and his few followers are no better than glorified meat shields. Kyle must find a way to salvage his struggling crew, evade authorities, and annihilate his enemies with the help of a mysterious system from a bygone era.

Fast and enjoyable ride
I was propelled instantly into a gritty and somewhat dystopian London. Then, into the immersive fantasy world of 'Faith'. Nick Nielsen has crafted a unique and captivating mythology where the lines between good and evil are reshaped, and the stakes are higher than ever. The vivid and atmospheric writing draws you into a world of shadows and secrets. With its compelling characters and intricate plot, 'Faith' is a triumph of imaginative storytelling.

Unexpected Twists, Thought-Provoking
Jake, a conman and gang member, plans one final job to secure the funds he needs to escape his life. But a supernatural force has other plans. Now hunted, Jake teams up with an unlikely group.
The author, Nick Nielsen, crafts a captivating narrative of faith, blending religious and supernatural forces as humankind awaits a savior. This thrilling, action-packed, and terrifying tale features well-developed characters, each crucial to the storyline, flaws and all. Nielsen unfolds the plot slowly and deliberately, building suspense and giving listeners time to reflect. The plot twists are stunning and wholly unexpected. Nielsen created a strong connection with the listener by using flawed characters, making the experience both immersive and intriguing.
The narrator, Nathaniel Priestley, delivers a clear, concise performance that enhances the storyline and reveals each character's inner essence. His subtle intonation and well-timed pauses heighten suspense, creating a captivating and immersive experience.
This was a fascinating and thought-provoking experience on multiple levels. I highly recommend this audiobook.
