Narrated by: J. F. Penn

Unearth the past. Awaken the future.

When archaeologist Dr. Emilia Kaya uncovers a massive sarcophagus containing the remains of a mysterious winged creature, she sets in motion a chain of events that could lead to the resurrection of the Nephilim—the fearsome giants of biblical legend.

Desperate to unlock the secrets hidden within the ancient bones, Emilia enlists the help of geneticist Dr. Alex Novak, who races to decode the DNA that could confirm the existence of these beings. But their curiosity leads them into the center of a shadowy conflict over the power to redefine life itself—one that risks unleashing an unstoppable force.

In this gripping short story that blurs the lines between science and faith, award-winning author J.F. Penn weaves together elements of archaeology, genetics, and biblical mythology. De-Extinction of the Nephilim will leave you questioning the nature of humanity and the consequences of playing God.

Very entertaining short story!

De-Extinction of the Nephilim the latest of J. F. Penn’s short stories, took several topics that I’m personally interested in and am remarkably familiar with and turned them into a very entertaining story. Listening to this story expertly narrated by the author allowed me to immerse myself in the story as I took a long walk. As I listened, I could see Gobekli Tepe and imagine where Emilia found the burial chamber and as they entered the tomb, I found myself holding my breath with them in anticipation of want might be in the tomb. As the story progressed, I began to wonder where this story was leading until my questions were answered. As a short story it does an excellent job of covering the story and in my case creates a sense of finality for the story. I would have loved this to be a full novel, most certainly. However, I’ve noticed three of the previous short stories would be great starts to full novels. Who knows, one day J.F. Penn will surprise us with stories that follow these short stories.
