Summary

Two nuclear wars. Three asteroids. Demonic madness that kills one third of the world's population. Into this, a savior will rise, cloned from Christ. It's not fiction. It's prophecy.

The Messiah of the new age. His coming is prophesied by more than a dozen major religions. Cloned from live cells of Jesus Christ found on the Shroud of Turin, Christopher Goodman was born into the most turbulent time in human history. Mentored by former UN Assistant Secretary-General Robert Milner, Christopher rises in position and power, and displays remarkable wisdom and compassion. But through disjointed bits of dreams that sometimes haunt him, Christopher reveals significant troubling errors in the biblical record of Jesus' life.

The reason for Robert Milner's interest in Christopher becomes clear: the world is about to undergo a time of destruction and chaos darker than any in history, with impending nuclear war merely a faint precursor. Milner explains that without Christopher, humanity will not long survive. Under Christopher's leadership, however, mankind stands on the threshold of a final great evolutionary leap that will bestow on the human race god-like powers. This is the reason, Milner says, that Christopher was born.

In Israel, an unexpected threat to Christopher's ascension is growing: two men, possessed of incredible supernatural powers, one claiming to be the 2000-year-old Apostle John, the other an apostate Hasidic rabbi named Saul Cohen. Together, the men lead an outlawed cult of 144,000 followers, each branded with the names Yahweh and Yeshua on their foreheads.

Terrible narration

Sorry Mr O'Brien but I'm gonna avoid anything you narrate from now on. This book is brilliant but really all of the characters sound weird. very reminiscent of the Muppets or sesame Street characters. I do love this book so I will battle through the rest, and the other two ( or maybe find another way) .

The Muppets Do The Omen

The Christ Clone Trilogy are the only books that I've read multiple times and I enjoyed them as much on subsequent readings as I did the first time. And so, bearing this in mind I thought I'd try the audio books. If you've never read or listened to the Christ Clone Trilogy, I would heartily recommend buying the books and leaving the audio well alone, which is a real shame because i feel the books deserve much better. The books are thrilling, captivating and so well written by an author who obviously knows his subject but delivers the detail without detracting from the story. The beauty of the way the books are written is that the author very cleverly draws you along and then flips the narrative upside down to the extent where it literally made me gasp (without wanting to sound too melodramatic). However the narrator of the audio book, despite of or because of his apparent enthusiasm for the story, does tend to signpost the twists and turns of the story and so the impact is much reduced. With regard to the performance of the voice actor; his natural reading voice has occasional twangs of Kermit the Frog which is a little distracting but in isolation would not merit comment but when he commences 'acting' the characters, then we end up with a full blown Muppet movie; the main protagonist is a nailed on Gonzo the Great and the more emotional the character gets, the more Gonzo he gets and the female characters tend to be a variation on a Miss Piggy theme, i.e. female children sound uncannily like Betina and Belinda from a Muppet Christmas Carol, elderly females come across as Miss Poogy from the Muppets Movie 2011 and the remaining female characters are just generally Miss Piggy. The remaining characters are delivered in stereotypical, generic regional accents that at best are cartoonish and at worst border on offensive.
In summary, if you are drawn to the story, I would wholeheartedly recommend reading the books and steer clear of the audio

Weird range of voices narrated.

I'm not sure what is going on with this narrator. Every character has a very exaggerated voice. Characters are differentiated from each other through voices that range from hysterical, baby-talk, annoying or 'special needs'.

The story is so-so.
