ALL HOPE OF BECOMING HUMAN

by Lonnie Busch

Narrated by: Patricia Shade

Production by: Lonnie Busch

Genuinely Terrifying!

Rebecca Duccati, an assistant archaeologist, finds herself working at a site in Arizona. The site is filled with skeletons, underground caves and tunnels, and a massive metal object that was revealed during a massive earthquake. However, when it becomes clear that this is not the only site to reveal these specific items or experience deadly attacks by vicious creatures, the military moves in and shuts everything down. What Duccati and her fellow scientists discover is terrifying!

The author, Lonnie Busch, weaves a masterful thriller filled with action, rich characters, and plot twists that will leave you on the edge of your chair! Busch takes his time building the storyline, however, given his vivid and detailed descriptions it does not take long before he shifts into high gear and the action becomes non-stop. The character development of the main characters is smooth and well done. The sense of singular focus of some characters that were affected especially behaviorally was masterfully captured. The plot twists, from the first until the end are amazingly shocking and unexpected. The dialogue was also well done and fluid. Busch avoided overwhelming his listeners with technical terminology, making the book more straightforward and concise.

The narrator, Patricia Shade spoke clearly. Although she didn’t employ distinct voices for each character, she adjusted her delivery style to match the character’s persona. She paced the dialogue’s delivery authentically so that it was easy to keep track of who was speaking. Her speaking was charged with energy to match the storyline action as well. I thoroughly enjoyed hearing Patricia Shade’s performance.

Overall, this is a truly terrifying book in so many ways! This book has stayed with me for a bit as it is on a small degree reminiscent of the movies “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” and “Men in Black.” A must-listen!
