About this listen

 AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is "The Beta Version" of this podiobook. 7th Son: Descent is now available as a print novel from St. Martin's Press. During the editorial process, significant changes and improvements were made to Descent's print manuscript. Character names were changed, and events at the end of the print novel were modified in ways that will impact the rest of the print trilogy. The print novel represents an official reboot of the 7th Son series. Due to these changes, this "Beta Version" of Book One: Descent is no longer the "official" version of the podiobook. Please visit the 7th Son: Descent (The Print Edition) page to subscribe to the definitive version of the story. THE STORY Three weeks ago, the U.S. president was murdered by a four-year-old boy. Today, seven men stare at each other in a locked conference room. Kidnapped and brought to this underground facility, the strangers are sitting in silence, thunderstruck. Despite minor physical differences, they all appear to be the same man, with the same name ... and the same childhood memories. Unwitting participants in a secret human cloning experiment, these seven "John Michael Smiths" have been gathered by their creators for one reason -- to capture the mastermind behind the president's assassination. Their target? The man they were cloned from; the original John Michael Smith, code-named John Alpha. Soon our heroes -- John, Jack, Michael, Kilroy2.0 and the others -- realize the president's murder was merely a prologue to Alpha's plans. As the mystery deepens and the implications of Alpha's scheme are slowly revealed, the clones decide to stand against John Alpha. The outcome will unearth a conspiracy larger than they could have ever imagined. Descent is the first novel in J.C. Hutchins' 7th Son thriller trilogy.by-sa Art Literary History & Criticism

I was first introduced to J.C Hutchins through Scott Sigler via his podcast audiobook series these authors are the fathers of the modern day audiobooks before Amazon made audible what it is today we had podiobooks and then scribl. So glad I’ve finally got hold of this great series again via Audible I’ve been wanting to listen again for some time. If you love Scott Sigler books. There is an Easter egg in both Infected by Scott sigler and 7th son that tie the two books loosely together which is quite cool. I’ve not seen anything from JC for a long time and was stoked when he co-wrote stone wolves a novella for the GFL series by Scott Sigler where yet another Easter egg to 7th son was dropped.
Similar author styles to JC include Peter Clines and his Threshold series. And Dennis.E.Taylor and his Bobiverse series with very similar tropes for the way clones diverge from each other. I really hope to see more from JC in future you are a talented writer and deserve to be up there with the best of them! Don’t pass up on this 3 book series. It’s worth your time I promise. AND ITS FREE

This needs to be a full unabridged audiobook take my money JC!
