About this listen

Daniel’s 16th birthday is starting out like any other day: He’s late for school, his homework’s due, his crush doesn’t know he’s alive, and his afterschool gig is a joke. There’s just one more thing: He needs to save the human race from annihilation.

James Patterson’s thrilling adventure series gets an exclusive, audio-only origin story in Daniel X: Genesis, brought to life by an all-star cast. We meet Daniel, an ordinary teen just trying to navigate his way through high school. That all changes when he discovers he has super powers and can conjure up anything, at any time, just by imagining it. Suddenly he’s meeting powerful entities who tell him he is not, in fact, a typical teenage human but an alien...and his parents died not in a car wreck but in an epic battle with an intergalactic villain.

Can Daniel find the courage to take up the fight? Can he use his powers to save the Earth? And can he finally get to shred onstage in front of thousands of screaming fans? So much to do, so little time.

Starring Michael Cimino (Love, Victor), Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine), Mercedes Ruehl (The Fisher King), Jimmi Simpson (Westworld), and a full cast.

This story was amazing it felt like u were listening to a movie. At times tiny bit confusing but overall a very good story. Had lots of music and sound effects throughout wish more audio books were this fun and engaging. The cast are also amazing and extremely talented. Hope we get more like this in future

A high-energy, teen-hero sci-fi adventure with a slick premise—alien hunter Daniel X tapes up interstellar baddies while navigating family drama. The full-cast narration brings diversity and life to each character, though it sometimes veers into uneven delivery. While Michael Cimino’s steady lead helps ground the story, some plot twists leaned a bit cliché, and the pacing occasionally raced ahead without letting emotional stakes settle. Still, it’s a fun, fast-paced ride that kept me listening through to the end. Definitely energetic, not soul-shattering—but if you’re in the mood for light, engaging sci-fi with a youthful spark, this one delivers.

Good enough

This book is I think for young adults but that suits me at the moment, even though I am middle aged! I really enjoyed this book. it was a quick easy listen, great action but still feel-good where the baddie gets it and the good always wins!

fantastic story for young adults
