From the first scene Hutchins book draws you in. Its high octane and interesting adventure, kind of a twist on the boys from Brazil. The plot was a bit confusing at first but not too bad, and once you settle down you'll zip right through. I wasn't aware that their were podcast books prior to this, but i will be on the lookout for more of them in the future.

7th Son is a hell of a ride, great story keeps you so entranced you forget all about the edge of your seat. Podcaster and Novelist JC Hutchins does a spectacular job weaving a mystery that keeps you guessing, What the hell is John Alpha up to? Buy the book listen to the podcast, join the beta clone army and support the ascent of 7th son Descent.

Yes, this is, at it's heart, a "potboiler thriller". An everyman (or every-men) thrown into fantastical situations. Conspiracy theories. The government needs their help... save the clones, save the world. But there is also so much more. Yes, one could read this like a Dan Brown novel, wonderfully written prose pulling the reader along on a thrill ride - a novelization of an action flick. Puzzles. Mysteries. Secrets. But Hutchins creates a world that is more than one-dimensional. We are taken along not only through the experiences of one everyman... but seven. "7th Son: Descent" grabs you from the beginning. Hutchins is truly a "word-herder", grabbing you, teasing you, pulling you along on his katabatic journey. And you lusciously succumb to his words, his characters, his twists and turns. And you... comply.
