À propos de cet audio

Latin was a dead language—until the aliens arrived.

Out-of-work Latin teacher and borderline alcoholic Austin DeSantis is determined to spend his final days in the arms of a prostitute—that is if the aliens don’t exterminate humanity first.

But when the aliens land at the Vatican, begin speaking Latin, and reveal themselves to be Catholic, the world turns upside down.

Pressed into service as a translator and thrust into the center of humanity's first contact with a cryptic alien race, Austin must uncover their true intentions before religious turmoil rips the planet apart. But with Austin caught between the Catholic Church, the US military, and an enigmatic alien AI, he'll have to decide where his loyalties lie as the fate of humanity hangs in the balance.

PILGRIMS is a sci-fi retelling of Augustine's Confessions, mixing a high-concept premise à la Children of Time with the ceaseless pacing and rich characterization of Red Rising.

The “moral” of the story is unapologetically Christian, but also just “human”, ie I believe non-Christians can still get a lot from it without feeling (overly) proselytized to. The narratives lags a little in the middle but the beginning and finish are both page turners.

Compelling story and excellent performance

Its pedantic and the main character is a loser idiot. Had it not been for the awesome Jeff Hayes and the folks over at Soundbooth Theatre, this story would have been a skip for me. Its a popcorn novel and surface level exploration of its themes. Most of the characters are unlikeable. I wanted a deeper mystery and what we get as an exploration was extremely disappointing. I’ll chalk it up to being a simple difference of expectations and leave my review short.

Jeff Hayes and soundbooth make this turd shine.
