Publisher's summary

Science fiction meets historical facts in this thrilling novel by ancient language scholar Michael S. Heiser.

Haunted by his parents' death and his career failures, Dr. Brian Scott has begun to settle down in the life he's been given...until he's kidnapped by military insiders known as "The Group".

Disappearances. Visitations. Murder.

Brian and a team of world-class scholars are given a confidential mission: to prepare humanity for a new reality. They are here. But as the government's involvement with extraterrestrials is revealed, strange things begin to happen. Something isn't right. Unraveling layer after layer of deception and counter-deception, Brian moves toward a shocking revelation that will forever alter how humanity sees itself.

Everything represented in The Façade is real: Every document cited exists; every ancient text discussed is authentic; and every historical figure referred to or quoted in it actually exists.

Loved it!

Great book. I love Michael Heiser’s teaching and he weaved a lot of truths within this book. The narrator for audio version did a fabulous job.

Great story

Great, intriguing story. However, the music and sound effects didn’t quite fit for me. I would have preferred to listen without those.

Michael Heiser is amazing. I didn't want it to end

the narration is pretty good. he is thematic and puts emphasis on characters, it could have been better though, and done after the voice and tone of Michael Heiser's dry wit and polite sarcasm that he delivers in charming ways. i actually could hear Heiser's wit in some of the characters, but the narrator made it sound smarmy and abrasive whereas Heiser is a bit more subtle and deadpan and you can tell that is the way he meant for it to be read. regardless of that this is pretty good. I'm definitely going to reread physical book with Heiser's dryness in my head. An overall good audible book.

Sound Effects... Why?

I want to move on with the series, but may do so with the Kindle versions. I can't go on with needless sound effects and music that only take me out of the story.

Eye Opener!

Fiction founded on facts: How mesmerizing! You can literally look up names, documents, facts, and verify the realities behind the fiction. AND...for people of faith in the Bible, get ready to have to prophetically think outside the box. Amidst the mystery in the events, I greatly enjoyed the spiritual challenge alongside the academic & intellectual challenges. Heiser shines well beyond his other writings. Now I'm going after the continuation in your book "The Portent." I wish u were still here to write another fiction book like this one!

Whose idea was it?

Story is great! But whose idea was it to add the music and the sound effects. This book is well written, it does not need all of that. They were distracting and not appropriate to the particuliar scenes.

excellent book horrible narration

I had read this book in 2015 so I thought it would be great to revisit it on audible that was a big mistake
this book is excellent it's a great story I love everything from this author but the narration of this book is absolutely horrendous if you're thinking about buying this on audible just be aware of that fact I can hardly even get past chapter 3, the guy who reads this his voice is so cringy and over the top dramatic it's like he's reading to a group of four year olds it's definitely not what I expected from Dr Michael Heiser
