Publisher's Summary
Science fiction meets historical facts in this thrilling novel by ancient language scholar Michael S. Heiser.
Haunted by his parents' death and his career failures, Dr. Brian Scott has begun to settle down in the life he's been given...until he's kidnapped by military insiders known as "The Group".
Disappearances. Visitations. Murder.
Brian and a team of world-class scholars are given a confidential mission: to prepare humanity for a new reality. They are here. But as the government's involvement with extraterrestrials is revealed, strange things begin to happen. Something isn't right. Unraveling layer after layer of deception and counter-deception, Brian moves toward a shocking revelation that will forever alter how humanity sees itself.

This is an academic work describing how the New Testament writers re-purpose Genesis 6:1-5 in their presentation of Jesus as messiah. Though every topic addressed in Reversing Hermon can be found in scholarly academic literature, Reversing Hermon is the first book to gather this information and make it accessible to Bible students everywhere. The book also includes lengthy appendices on the ancient debate on the inspiration of the book of 1 Enoch, New Testament allusions to the book, and academic resources.

Are demons real? Are they red creatures with goatees holding pitchforks and sitting on people's shoulders while whispering bad things? Did a third of the angels really rebel with Satan? Are demons and "principalities and powers" just terms for the same entities, or are they different members of the kingdom of darkness? Is the world a chaotic mess because of what happened in Eden, or is there more to the story of evil? In Demons, Michael Heiser debunks popular presuppositions about the very real powers of darkness.

In his latest book, Angels, Dr. Heiser reveals what the Bible really says about God's supernatural servants. Heiser focuses on loyal, holy heavenly beings because the Bible has a lot more to say about them than most people suspect. Most people presume all there is to know about angels is what has been passed on in Christian tradition, but in reality, that tradition is quite incomplete and often inaccurate. Angels is not guided by traditions, stories, speculations, or myths about angels.

Awesome
A great read with twists and turns. Heiser is a very clever story teller and is quite unpredictable. Many genuine sources for many claims made in the story, giving it an eerie realism. This realism evokes Lovecraftian cosmic horror

Good story. Distracting background music. Juvenile narration.
The story is interesting.
The production is poorly done. The occasional background music and sound effects are distracting. The narrator is overly dramatic, as if he were reading to a group of grade school students.

I'm so excited for book 2!
the story is amazing. the narrator makes the characters voices sound annoyingly similar to each other though, he's horrible at making a female voice (they all sound whiny) also he gets wrong expressions at times like he'll sound bored and the words will say the character said excitedly or something. Regardless I still love the story.

Best Nonfiction on Audible
I haven’t listen to or read any non-fiction for years, I simply just couldn’t waste precious time on entertainment. I only got into this because the intro said that the documents were real and the events were a historical fact. After reading the documents to make sure, I decided to check this out. It was captivating and stimulating. Suspenseful and exhilarating. If you ever wonder what is really going on behind the whole UFO phenomenon, this is by far the best most coherent explanation there is! Can’t wait for the Portant, Bring it to Audible ASAP!!!

Hidden in plain sight
Love how Heiser threads his knowledge throughout the story
I’m not a fan of the sound effects and especially the background music. The style of music never fits the storyline and detracts from it.

Quite Disappointing
The narrator sounds like a radio announcer who’s not great a different voices and often butchers the intonation or adds weirdly inappropriate emphases to phrases. The ideas behind the story are fascinating, but the story itself feels like it’s being told by a biblical scholar trying to write fiction . . . . The plot and ideas were explained each step along the way through waaaay too much exposition in the character dialogue; there was no tension and little mystery about what was going on.
Writing this review was hard because I love Dr. Heiser and think his biblical scholarship is some of the most important work that has been done in this area in the last 100 years. Highly, highly, highly recommend “Unseen Realm” or “Supernatural” or any of his other non-fiction . . . But not his fiction.

no cigar
While the story and ideas presented were good and interesting, the narration and production were horrendous! The narrator used strange intonation and put emphasis in odd places. The dialogue felt childish in most most places, but I can’t place if that the fault of the writing or the reading. The production could have done without any of the background audio and sound effects. I hope to not come across another book narrated or produced by this team. I had to use every ounce of my willpower to finish the story.
