About this listen
Forty years after a mysterious billionaire disappears, he suddenly resurfaces with a dark secret that shocks the world.
In this enthralling third novel in the God's Lions series, Cardinal Leopold Amodeo is once again teamed with a group of scientists and archaeologists as they are led to the inescapable conclusion that a very real evil has arrived in the world.

Story
Sara Keane's husband, Damien, has uprooted them from England and moved them to his native Northern Ireland for a "fresh start" in the wake of her nervous breakdown. But three sleepless nights into their new life, Sara understands it's not an entirely fresh start after all: Damien's new boss is his ex-con father, whose contracting business is run with violence and tinged by paramilitary association. Sara, who knows no one in Northern Ireland, is jobless, carless, friendless - all but a prisoner in her own house.

Story
This forest isn't charted on any map. Every car breaks down at its treeline. Mina's is no different. Left stranded, she is forced into the dark woodland only to find a woman shouting, urging Mina to run to a concrete bunker. As the door slams behind her, the building is besieged by screams. Mina finds herself in a room with a wall of glass, and an electric light that activates at nightfall, when the watchers come above ground. These creatures emerge to observe their captive humans and terrible things happen to anyone who doesn't reach the bunker in time.

Story
Evelyn Waugh's most celebrated work is a memory drama about the intense entanglement of the narrator, Charles Ryder, with a great Anglo-Catholic family. Written during World War II, the story mourns the passing of the aristocratic world Waugh knew in his youth and vividly recalls the sensuous pleasures denied him by wartime austerities; in so doing it also provides a profound study of the conflict between the demands of religion and the desires of the flesh.

Fantastic
Another great story! Well read and engaging. This is the third book in the series and they keep getting better. Although the author is writing from a perspective of catholic faith, I love the openness to other religions. I am not a catholic but I have loved all three books so far. On to the next one for me!

Interesting, but basic plot.
I have enjoyed all of the books in this series, it is a topic with many paths as the author noted. However, there are a few quirks that are annoying. The narrator is good, but he has a high saliva drive in his regular voice and even more pronounced in the different voices. I have never heard so many people in need of a spit. Then there are several basic inaccurate items names - it is the Resolute Desk, not Resolution. The desk was made from the HMS Resolute. It is the National Security Agency and not the National Security Administration. I imagine there are more I missed since it appears the author did limited research.

A Fictional Story.....Or Maybe Not??
A lot of action, breath holding suspense and thought provoking question of good versus evil. The God's Lions series is a must read for anyone who believes good will always win over evil. Kudos to John Lyman for a great story.

Where is the faith?
For a group of people who know beyond the shadow of a doubt that they are in God's army, fighting a holy battle in his name, they seem to lack faith...

Outstanding Series
These books and the narration are some of the best I have read or listened to. They need to be made into movies.

Best book series ever.
There are no words to describe the impact these books have had on me.
Perfectly written and perfectly narrated.
From the first “page” you are in the story’s .
The mix of religion and history with great suspense is unbelievably well written.
The narrator did a more then a perfect job.
So many characters and never missed the right voice.
I will listen to this books many times because there’s always a twist or a turn you missed.
Unbelievable great job,
Thank you for this gem💖
