Summary
One army colonel. One alien leader. One prophecy. The fate of Earth is in their hands. Can they come together in enough time to save it before an old enemy arrives?
Army Ranger Colonel Morgan Langtree has awoken from cryogenic stasis to discover that her own world has become alien to her. Earth, now a virtual Garden of Eden, is both beautiful—and dangerous. Now responsible for all of the survivors of the Area 51 base, Langtree sets out to discover what happened to her world...and why they slept for 1,500 years longer than intended.
Following her late commanding officer's instructions, Langtree and her team set off for the Belize Valley Area and the city of Lamanai. She finds a thriving society based on Central American Indians of millennia before in the remains of the city as well as the Lamanai's gods.
Enter Lord Jericho Juriath, the charismatic leader of a race of aliens known as the Allorvians. He has brought the remainder of his people to Earth, a planet his own ancestors helped seed long before the birth of Christ. Earth was to be a safe haven, a thriving planet his people could settle on, disappearing into human society. But, like Colonel Langtree, Juriath has found a world devoid of cities and technology. With too many riddles that need solving—and a prophecy he's not sure he believes in—Juriath is left wondering what happened. Both leaders are forced to make a choice: Forge an alliance with one another or go their own way. Can they move past their differences and find love, securing the prophecy that will save both of their people before the Allorvian's enemies find them? Or are they doomed to repeat history and become slaves to a race older than time?

A descriptive sci-fi page-turner, with some obvious cliches, and fantastic, clear narration adding life to each character.
All the typical quirks of a sci-fi novella, with a strong descriptive nature from Beth A. Freely, and warm voice narration by Dan Storm.
I identify as a young female adult who loves romance and sci-fi, but rarely have I ever ventured into a book or audio book which features both. I have listened to a couple of chapters from this audiobook so far, and can say I am enjoying it. Beth is good at keeping the listener/reader interested; wanting to know what is going to happen next with a good balance of speech and descriptive writing.
Though so far, I must admit that the more I listen, the more accurate I am in predicting what will happen next; but I wish to reiterate that I am enjoying this audio book. However, there is a sense of many cliches which I may be hasty upon, these could perhaps settle down as I listen further. And also, who doesn’t love a cliche?
Dan Storm provides clear narration, and is very capable in distinguishing different characters clearly through a range of different tones and pitches in his voice acting. I find it easy to listen to Dan’s voice as he reveals more about the characters, and can always clearly recognise who he is narrating. The accents are also clear and varied, proving Dan’s abilities to adapt to a wide range of roles within the story.
I would recommend this to young adults and sci-fi lovers. I am yet to approach any romance within this novel so can’t comment on this aspect.
To conclude, Beth and Dan appear to have worked very hard on this novel, and it’s definitely worth delving into for that sci-fi adventure fix!
