About this listen
A baby is born and placed in his dead mother’s arms…
When the funeral shroud is cast over her, his father names his son Pall. It will soon become a name that strikes a shiver of fear into the hearts of those who hear it in combat.
A lone survivor on a battlefield many years later, Pall dazedly recovers from the wounds of war. Despite the dead cast about him, everything he looks upon is unfamiliar to him. Wandering away from this scene of carnage, he encounters John Savage, a giant of a man who puts Pall within the sight of Savage’s seven-foot, nocked longbow.
What ensues from this deadly encounter is an elusive journey for truth. Yet, while it is haunted by a ravening demon that is out to destroy Pall and John, the vision and prayers of a startlingly beautiful young woman protect them from afar.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 5
They were an unlikely pairing - he, an urchin from the back streets of Belfast, and she, a sickly youngster from a well-to-do background. Yet they were chosen to go against the most fearsome creature ever to threaten Earth - the terrifying Beast from the Apocalypse. The wizard Patrick told them of the mission. The Army of Light would face the Army of Darkness. The children had to recover the Lance of Light and use it against the Beast, or the Army of Light would be defeated. For different motives, the children agreed to go.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 15
Simmie Johnson was born the son of a slave. He was also a genius. After earning a PhD in physics from Tuskegee Institute, he wrote a paper outlining a theory for time travel, including plans for a time machine - called a chronocar - which was published in a scientific journal in the early 1900s. Since the technology required to build the chronocar did not yet exist, the paper and its brilliant writer faded into obscurity.

Interesting
This was a hard book to get into from the start. Picked up a bit but was not a subject that interested me. Narrator was okay, sometimes really good.
