Ancient Among Us

Battle for Forever, Book 2

By: Edward Savio

Narrated by: Wil Wheaton

Wil Wheaton returns to narrate volume two in the Battle for Forever series.

Alexander X and his friends have had stadiums collapse on them and ancient teachers follow them; they have driven cars through buildings and had entire streets blown up around them. They've been chased, beaten, drugged, and nearly sliced in two by falling sheets of glass. And that...was just on Saturday.

Now, they must do whatever it takes to escape Elam Khai and flee the country. As they search for answers and Alexander's father, they will meet new allies, be confronted by new foes, and uncover more details of the plot that would protect the future for the very few by destroying it for everyone else.

Humor, action, and history combine as Ancient Among Us propels us to the moment where everything changes.

Nothing about this will be simple or easy.

Great follow up

At first I was a little nervous that this was just going to be a lot of needless action. Then the action led to more secrets to being revealed and snippet of alternate history and all the things that make this series so wonderful. Will Wheaton is a perfect narrator. I love the story and can’t wait to the next in the series!

No book 3 on the horizon?

I enjoyed the first (only) two books in this series. The story is interesting, the writing good, and Will Wheaton excellent again. It came as a disappointment to see the first two volumes were written in 2013, and Google shows absolutely nothing about a book 3, especially given the cliffhanger ending of book 2.

Interesting

This is a decent continuation to the first book. It's not that quite as compelling but every bit as believable and scarily close to what could happen to our too-dependent-on-electronics world. Of course Wil Wheaton does a great job at narration. I look forward to the next in the series.

Thin story line

I liked the story but I got the feeling the author was writing to a word count regather than content. To often the storyline got bogged down in needless description and verbiage. I was disappointed.

Narration & story

I was very pleasantly surprised by Will Wheaton’s narration! He had the characters down pat and his voices were superb! I’m going to look for more narration by him. The story was fast paced and I love that the author walks us through history lessons that are pretty interesting! More please!
