About this listen

New York Times best-selling author Ted Dekker teams with Tosca Lee to create this gripping thriller set in a desolate future.

Many years have passed since civilization's brush with apocalypse. The world's greatest threats have all been silenced. There is no anger, no hatred, no war. There is only perfect peace... and fear. But a terrible secret has been closely guarded for centuries: Every single soul walking the earth, though in appearance totally normal, is actually dead, long ago genetically stripped of true humanity.

Fleeing pursuit, with only moments to live, a young man named Rom stumbles into possession of a vial of blood and a piece of cryptic writing. When consumed, the blood will bring him back to life. When decoded, the message will lead him on a perilous journey that will require him to abandon everything he has ever known and awaken humanity to the transforming power of true life and love.

But the blood will also resurrect hatred, ambition, and greed.

Set in a terrifying, medieval future, where grim pageantry masks death, this tale of dark desires and staggering stakes peels back the layers of the heart for all who dare to take the ride.

Where does Forbidden rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

The narrator did a great job with this audiobook, and all three books for that matter. Phenomenal story in all the books. Due to this series Ted Dekker has become a must read/listen to author for me.

One Of The Best Trilogies

The narrator did an amazing job, and it made me love the book even more!!! Definitely a good read if you're up for a fun read, or if you want to take a more abstract approach and compare it to today's society.

Brilliant!

I would recommend this to a friend. Dekker does an excellent job with futuristic concepts and ideas of what could be the future state of existence. Even though some of the conditions are somewhat unrealistic, Dekker weaves the story together in a way that does not leave you questioning or doubting the possibilities.

Very good development of characters and the plot. Very nice carry over to 2nd book "Mortals".

Surprised with the content and overall experience

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. However, I didn't think I would for the first half of the book, and I almost gave up reading a few times. But the story eventually comes together to become an enjoyable read with some surprising twists.

What did you like best about this story?

The overall premise of the story is an interesting concept.

Would you be willing to try another one of Henry Leyva???s performances?

Maybe. The narrator (much like the book) seems to improve as the the story progresses. He's better in the second half of the book

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No

Takes a while to get into, but overall a good read

if I was physically reading this book it would have been a page turner. I can't wait to start the next one. story line was very captivating. a little gruesome in a couple of places but so is life sometimes.

loved this book

i also listened to book #2 hoping that the writing and characters would improve, but they didn't. they might have even gotten worse. the story is creative, but just about everything lacked depth. i won't be listening to book #3.

the writing wasn't as good as the story
