About this listen

Daniel’s 16th birthday is starting out like any other day: He’s late for school, his homework’s due, his crush doesn’t know he’s alive, and his afterschool gig is a joke. There’s just one more thing: He needs to save the human race from annihilation.

James Patterson’s thrilling adventure series gets an exclusive, audio-only origin story in Daniel X: Genesis, brought to life by an all-star cast. We meet Daniel, an ordinary teen just trying to navigate his way through high school. That all changes when he discovers he has super powers and can conjure up anything, at any time, just by imagining it. Suddenly he’s meeting powerful entities who tell him he is not, in fact, a typical teenage human but an alien...and his parents died not in a car wreck but in an epic battle with an intergalactic villain.

Can Daniel find the courage to take up the fight? Can he use his powers to save the Earth? And can he finally get to shred onstage in front of thousands of screaming fans? So much to do, so little time.

Starring Michael Cimino (Love, Victor), Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine), Mercedes Ruehl (The Fisher King), Jimmi Simpson (Westworld), and a full cast.

Love this new performance style

I love this new style of production. It's like listening to a movie where you figure out what is happening by the dialogue amongst the performers.

Great SFX, story practically nonexistent

Ya... it jumps from random thing to random thing way to much and it was cool for about 30 minutes.

Loved it

Great short story, and sound effects. It was listening to a movie. I got it free with prime so it worth the time you be happy at the end.

On croirait écouter un film

Un peu déstabilisant dans l’ensemble.
On dirait écouter la bande sonore d’un film et non la lecture d’un livre
On pourrait aussi croire que c’est une version condensée du livre

Great Listen

I was happy to find this story in my available listens. I love the dramatized ones, and it was great how they I cooperated the background music and noise to like up with what was happening and what the characters were doing. It wasn't the most complicated plot line ever, and it was more teen geared I would say, but still a good listen none the less. no sexuality, no kissing, but some swearing, which was a drag to listen with kids. But other than that, good listen.

Extremely fun.. Well Done all those involved!!
More movie for the mind than much of the ones that say they are.

Not great

I'm not a huge fan of audio books in this format, but compared to one's like Impact Winter(great book, highly recommend) this one is way below par. The initial premise of the book is weird to say the least, and the way the antagonist is defeated makes no sense. Also the book is super predictable from the start. Only redeeming part is the voice acting, they were all good.

Way too rushed

Got this for a family road trip. Was bored because the storyline was so rushed nothing was developed. Not great.

Joint authored

I commented on another jointly authored Patterson book and said it was terrible. So is this one. Unfortunately I have another in the library. To say that my expectations are low is probably not a surprise

Summary: garbage
