Touched

By: Walter Mosley

Narrated by: Leon Nixon

Intergalactic visions, deadly threats, and explosive standoffs between mostly good and completely evil converge in a dystopian fantasy that could only be conceived by the inimitable Walter Mosley, one of the country's most beloved and acclaimed writers

Martin Just wakes up one morning after what feels like, and might actually be, a centuries-long sleep with two new innate pieces of knowledge: Humanity is a virus destined to destroy all existence. And he is the Cure.

Martin begins slipping into an alternate consciousness, with new physical strengths, to violently defend his family—the only Black family in their neighborhood in the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles—against pure evil. Think Octavia Butler meets Jeff VanderMeer meets Jordan Peele.

Expansive and innovative, sexy and satirical, Touched brilliantly imagines the ways in which human life and technological innovation threaten existence itself.

Sco Fri at it's Finest

I love Mosley Sci Fi novels. The stories are always interesting. This novel is revealing and even gives understanding on life.

Really enjoyed the delivery of all the characters.

Enjoyed the story but left expecting more. I may have been spoiled by Devil in a Blue Dress many years ago and by Killing Johnny Fry and John Woman, my last two investments in Mr. Mosely’s works.

The man inside the man

I liked it alot, not my normal type of reading. Very interesting beginning, middle and ending!

Mosley is a genius

In the tradition of Octavia Butler. Great fantasy science fiction. Mosley never disappoints. Thank you

I struggled to follow the story.

I listened to the while book just didn’t understand it. First Mosley book I didn’t get.
