About this listen

For over two decades, fans of Brian Keene’s cult-classic novel Terminal have heard rumors of an uncut version that was never published. Now, for the first time anywhere, here is that version, as the author originally intended.

Tommy O’Brien once hoped to leave his run-down industrial hometown. But, marriage and fatherhood have kept him running in place, working a job that doesn’t even pay the bills. And now, he seems fated to stay for the rest of his life. Tommy has just learned he’s going to die young - and soon. But he refuses to leave his family with less than nothing - especially now that he has nothing to lose.

Over a couple of beers with his best friends, John and Sherm, Tommy launches a bold scheme to provide for his family’s future. And though his plan will spin shockingly out of control, it will throw him together with a child whose touch can heal - and whose ultimate lesson is that there are far worse things than dying. Now, one man’s war with God may impact us all.

Critic reviews

“A powerful, unique novel with a fascinating plot and characters, and echoes of Stephen King’s working-class voice.” (Ed Gorman)

“If Brian Keene’s books were music, they would occupy a working class, hard-earned space between Bruce Springsteen, Eminem, and Johnny Cash.” (John Skipp)

The story itself was pretty good. I've read almost all of Brian's books and liked each one and have been hoping for more audible versions but the narrator's have mostly been sub-par besides the one that did the original narration of Darkness on The Edge of Town. Chet's narration doesn't sound like someone telling a story and the dialogue between characters doesn't come off as natural. I hope they have a better narrator in the future.

Good story, Narration; not so much.

This is a book for any Dad who has wished the best for his wife and kid. This is a book for any good person who has made a terrible mistake in their life. This is Brian Keene at his most human.

Incredible book

I have read about 85% of keenes works. This book was great, the ending wasn't too predictable the characters seemed real, good Easter eggs for keenes multiverse. Very good book.

Chet and Keene is the best together

TERMINAL did not get the wide readership that most titles by Brian Keene has due to availability. Now with the release of TERMINAL the preferred author edition, Keene fans have the opportunity to enjoy this great read from early in his career. Highly recommended, fantastic story and incredible narration.

Underrated Classic
