About This Audiobook
Ancient forces stir in modern-day Atlanta when an unlikely hero finds himself thrust into a celestial war that has raged since the beginning of time. Kellan Thorne, a sarcastic pop culture enthusiast more comfortable quoting Doctor Who than scripture, becomes the focal point of an angelic conflict when he's chosen as the next Sentinel—a being capable of bending creation's laws to maintain the balance between order and chaos. As demons emerge from the shadows and the supernatural world collides with the mundane, Kellan must grapple with powers beyond comprehension while navigating the deadly politics of heaven and hell.
Nick Podehl's narration elevates this urban fantasy through his masterful character work and dynamic range. He captures Kellan's irreverent humor and modern sensibilities while seamlessly transitioning to the gravitas required for ancient angels and otherworldly beings. Podehl's pacing builds tension effectively during action sequences and allows quieter character moments to resonate with emotional depth. His ability to distinguish between the celestial and earthbound characters through subtle vocal choices makes the complex mythology accessible, while his delivery of both witty dialogue and profound revelations demonstrates why audio proves the ideal medium for this genre-blending adventure.
