Podcast Description

In this podiobook: 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 STORYThree 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.

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.

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.

Should be marked as Explicit

Call me old fashioned but a four-year old using the "F*** word" and a discussion about dirty sex -- all in the first ten minutes -- should probably be listed with an Explicit label. This book may be interesting; I don't know -- I was turned off by the language. There is definitely a group of people that will like this book, I just think it should be listed as Explicit.

Great ideas and plot hindered by lack of editorial hand.

Of all the podio books I've heard this is far and above the best. In reality it's the first I could actully stand to listen to all the way through. However it does suffer from some of the same problems that seem to be common of online fiction. I couldn't help but mentally rewrite or delete alot of the cliched, and or corny dialouge. I also found myself retroactively ignoring a number of unecessary and slow scenes; plot holes and contradictions. In conclusion this is a piece of fiction that I believe would've benefitted greatly from a editorial hand guiding his great creative impulsives , while reeling in his cliched ones.

Consider getting a 'triteness' filter

I haven't seen a flashbulb in about 30 years, and no presidential asassin, child or other, would be put without handcuffs, unceremonially, in the back of a police car. This could have been good, but I couldn't get past the first, equally trite, sex scene.
