About this listen

Jacob's hearing voices. Voices from the future. Voices claiming that he has the power to save the majority of Europe from a deadly virus.

Are they part of his imagination or something far more fantastic?

The Book

The story though short is quite interesting, not super scary if you like this genre but a good virus tale with some nice twists a bit of action and a fun story.

The Production

The narration was clear and generally well done, sometimes things were a bit overemphasised for dramatic effect but this was only a couple of times at the beginning and was done well later when the action started kicking in.

An interesting short story

Really enjoyed listening to this short story which made you think about what you would do if you were in Jacob's position. The narrator read the book well and managed to build up suspense as Jacob went on his mission to save the world. Would certainly recommend.

Great Short Story with a twist

I felt the story itself was somewhat flat despite the author's excellent descriptive abilities. Finished in one sitting. I didn't HATE the book, but I feel it could have been a lot ... More...

The narrator's performance was excellent - this is the second book i've listened to by this narrator, and I can't wait to listen to more of his performances.

Not a fan of short stories, but this surprised me. Left me wanting for more, even though it was finished well. I will be looking for more from Mathew Cash.
Narration was good, fitted the character well.

Very good
