Über diesen Titel

 A crying statue. A bleeding crucifix. Around the globe, strange signs point to the end of days. Our world is unravelling. As foretold in ancient texts, and marked by the Mayan Long Count, time has nearly run out. Foreshadowed by a sequence of bizarre phenomena and natural disasters, the End Time is fast approaching. Only Abraham Black has the knowledge to stop this from happening, ancient wisdom inherited from those who have gone before him: Edwardian scholar, Aurel Lockwood and American adventurer, Brice Ambrose Stone. With the help of his son, Adam, suicide cult survivor, Zillah, and streetwise Kris, he hopes to outwit the sinister forces ranged against him before it is too late.©2007 Celia Rees.

Beschreibung von Audible

According to the Mayan Calendar, the end times are coming, and signs of it are everywhere. Abraham Black and his ragtag band of compatriots have to fight the evil forces rallied against them by traveling into the deep past. Colin Moody's performance improves upon Britain's best-known children's writer Celia Rees' dark fantasy, The Stone Testament. With deft characterization and a penetrating, inquisitive voice, Moody makes this audiobook a listening experience that no adult or child will want to miss.

Kritikerstimmen

"A mature novel of breathtaking scope and compelling readability." (The Times)
"A brand new novel from the author of "Witch Child" and "Pirates!", this is a literary thriller with tremendous scope. The whole history of the human race lies in Adam and Zillah's hands..." (The Guardian)
"One man has the knowledge to fight against destructive forces that seek to carry out an end-of-the-world prophecy. He and some helpers (his son, a girl who cleverly escaped from a cult, and a streetwise kid) seek to stop these forces through shape-shifting and time-travel. The story jumps in a sometimes-convoluted manner, but narrator Colin Moody does his best to keep things straight. He gives characters varying English accents and highlights the voice of the American, Brice Ambrose Stone. His story is told through letters, and his flat, nasal voice is unique and enjoyable as the journey moves back and forth in time. Fantasy lovers will appreciate this..." (AudioFile Magazine)
