About this audiobook

Las Vegas, 2045.

Beneath the sparkling neon-filled oasis of Sin City in the heart of the Nevada desert, lurks a powerful evil force with a malevolent agenda.

A seemingly accidental death quickly turns out to be murder, exposing a shocking cover-up and a deadly Satanic cult. Private Investigator Cody Stockton uncovers a tangled web of corruption and lies that lead him to the heart of a global conspiracy. An advanced artificial intelligence with a will of its own and plans for world domination is about to collide with a man claiming to be the Son of God.

In a battle between the technological and the spiritual, Stockton's convictions are challenged and his faith shaken as he races to unravel the truth and save humanity. But in a war that was never meant for mere mortals, can one man really make a difference?

A fine first Novel. I was drawn in to start this story because I'm a fan of his YouTube work. The setting is believable. The characters have plenty of depth for a short story. I'll admit I'm partial to much of the subject matter, so I may not be the beat reviewer there. An AI was used, but the author doesn't try to hide this fact. the AI makes numerous simple mistakes in the reading that do detract from the experience. Overall, I was very pleased, I'd be very willing to hear more. Thanks for the story.

You might call it "End Times" fiction; this sci-fi thriller does a good job of combining relevant modern themes of AI with man's search for meaning. The book does a good job of "Steel-Maning" the position of the skeptical person with little or no faith. It obviously comes from the Christian perspective, but it doesn't bash over the head with dogma and moralizing. The climax could have been a little more... climatic, but is followed with a pretty good twist! Overall, it was a good first outing

interesting read, I wasn't expecting the ending, but I thought that I have much relevance for our day. Especially with mans worship of technology that has given way to seemingly replace God with AI and tech. But it does make you think. I thought that it was well written. Go Dave Cullen.
