About this listen

From acclaimed author David Mack comes a gripping supernatural thriller about a man who can hear other people’s prayers for help - involving him in an ancient, ongoing struggle between the forces of heaven and hell.

For millennia, a supernatural war has been waged on Earth, with all the souls who dwell there as its pawns. On one side are the Called - men and women guided by guardian angels who defend humanity from its own worst impulses. On the other side are the Scorned - people influenced by fallen angels.

Tom Nash is a member of the Called who works as a handyman and makes his living doing odd jobs. He’s 33 years old, married, and a few weeks away from becoming a father for the first time. And since he was 16, he’s been hearing other people’s prayers.

So when he hears the prayers of a kidnapped young girl in New York, he leaves his pregnant wife behind to help, unknowingly becoming a key figure in the ages-old conflict between the Called and the Scorned.

Expertly written, briskly paced, and featuring an edgy, cinematic style, The Calling is a page-turning thriller that listeners will be unable to put down.

Nice blend of supernatural and detective genres. Layered male and female characters. Well-narrated. Would make a great series.

not too much supernatural, more of a hint until your way into the book. Quite tense and a great cop storyline too. Please Mr Mack, say there will be a sequel? I am already missing the lead characters!

Brilliant!

Hated putting this down. I decided to listen whilst doing everything in the house, then took it to bed and listened until it finished. I wish there was another to follow the story.

Usually I move on to the next book after 10 seconds. This book is an absolute must. I'm only on the sixth chapter and I can't put it down 10/10..I'm loving it xxxxx.

must read

The story is enjoyable but didn't wow me, but maybe I'm just getting a little jaded with this genre as it seemed similar to others I have read in the past.
Narrator's voice was wonderful, I will be looking out for more books read by him.

Wonderful narration
