About this listen
Latin was a dead language—until the aliens arrived.
Out-of-work Latin teacher and borderline alcoholic Austin DeSantis is determined to spend his final days in the arms of a prostitute—that is if the aliens don’t exterminate humanity first.
But when the aliens land at the Vatican, begin speaking Latin, and reveal themselves to be Catholic, the world turns upside down.
Pressed into service as a translator and thrust into the center of humanity's first contact with a cryptic alien race, Austin must uncover their true intentions before religious turmoil rips the planet apart. But with Austin caught between the Catholic Church, the US military, and an enigmatic alien AI, he'll have to decide where his loyalties lie as the fate of humanity hangs in the balance.
PILGRIMS is a sci-fi retelling of Augustine's Confessions, mixing a high-concept premise à la Children of Time with the ceaseless pacing and rich characterization of Red Rising.

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.

Story
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.

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.

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. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Story
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.

Story
In the not-too-distant future, a 21-member crew launches from Earth. Their mission: to establish a temporary colony on Mars. Little do they know that colony will become permanent–and the last stand of the human race. Because, without warning, every single person left on Earth simply...vanishes. Now, a thousand years later, the resources needed to sustain life are running out, and the very existence of the Mars colony is threatened. Humankind has only one option–to return to its home planet.

Story
Farris has the misfortune of being an elemental: born human but host to barely contained primal energies. He wants what any young person wants—the chance to live his own life. Yet the fiery forces within him make him a danger to those around him and a target for capture and study by the Science Guild. On the Lone Continent, humans thrive in their cities through the Guild's revolutionary technology while the forests are home to powerful wild magic. Farris must confront his fears—fear of capture, fear of the wild Fey in the woods, and above all, fear of his abilities—if he's to remain free.

It’s Drop Night, the one night every decade when the gods hand out cards to a lucky few. If you get a deck, you’re a deckbearer capable of wondrous feats within the Great Game system. You can control powerful monsters and summon mantles that let you fight alongside your beasts. Ethan Wolfe, top enforcer for the Grimm family mob, has already been overlooked on two previous Drop Nights. People of his ilk seldom receive cards, as the gods tend to favor people who follow their divine mandates, but that doesn’t mean Wolfe can’t hope.

Inspiring for Christians
I have been a huge fan of Jeff Hayes for several years, so when he posted this new release I grabbed it immediately. As expected, he was great! In this story he delivers a wider range of emotions that usual, particularly with sadness and crying. Gary Furlong had a longer part than usual and was also terrific. I have had mixed experiences with Justin Thomas James’ work, but he too was terrific. Annie Ellicot is always great too, but this time she had a bit part.
I liked the story but did t love it. The poly is solid, the characters varied. There are moral dilemmas aplenty, and the protagonist goes through the emotional ringer multiple times. The problem for me is that he became annoying about halfway through.
There is a tremendous emphasis on religion, particularly on Catholicism. That should be expected based on the description, but it is even more of a component than I anticipated. Not being the most pious Catholic I liked it but eventually found it to be a bit much. Admittedly, that is on me, but if there are others who are not Christians or who also are not terribly devout practicing folks then be aware that the emphasis of religion is significant in this story. For those who are devout, you may truly live this story.

Insanely amazing
I have left a detailed review (including plot, character development, flow etc) of the hard copy version of “Pilgrims”, which is a phenomenal book based on a truly original premise. If you haven’t read the book, please read this truly fantastic book. The audiobook, however, takes the story to another level. It is in a word, amazing. For those unfamiliar, Jeff Hays of Soundbooth Theater has changed the landscape of audiobooks. As opposed to being
narrated by one person in a relatively straightforward way, Jeff Hays essentially performs the book, adding in just the right amount of foley sound effects, background music and dramatization. While listening to Pilgrims, I could visualize the action, the characters, their personalities, their affects, their movements, even their facial expressions while listening to this audiobook. I feel like I watched a live theater performance of Pilgrims. And truly, what a performance! Even if you have read Pilgrims before, I recommend you listen to the audiobook. It is nothing short of perfection. Bravo!

Wow! Just great science fiction.
I have extremely high standards for books (especially science fiction), so I rarely leave reviews. But I had to write one for this novel. The performances are as good as anything I've heard in audio format. And it gets the Catholic stuff right. It's easy for people to fumble the presentation of religious beliefs (regardless of what those beliefs are). I strongly recommend this book!

A triumph!
I have literally never heard an audiobook this immersive, this emotional and this meaningful. I could hear the effort of the cast, the way embodied they the dialogue, made me feel like I was there.
I wrote this book. And as the author of course I am biased. But I did not produce the audiobook. Jeff Hays and the team at Soundbooth Theater did. And in doing so they transcended the medium.
May every author be so blessed as to have their work turned into such a masterpiece!
Listen to this audiobook, even if you’ve already read the story. You won’t regret it.

Excellent character development!
One of the best books I have ever read. The character development is excellent, along with the storytelling. It’s a very interesting story, and worth a read or listen. It will keep your attention the entire time and you will not want to put the book down. It’s clear an enormous amount of time and energy was put into writing this book. Great job MR Leonard.

Incredible story
This is one of the best written stories I have listened to in quite a while-period. It is an adventure filled with despair and redemption, and while told from a Catholic perspective, it will lift the soul of anyone.
While not the typical fare for Sound Booth Theatre, Jeff Hays and his team have gifted the world with an immersive performance worthy of this story. Well done.
