    About this audiobook

    Tanis Archer is facing a miserable twenty-fifth birthday. She’s a part-time barista in her sixth year at Dallas Community College. Her life is going nowhere, fast.

    Literally.

    Because on her way to work, she loses control of her car and is killed in a horrific crash. That should have been the tragic end of her story. But days later, she wakes up on a cold morgue slab...and soon learns that miraculous resurrections have brutal side effects. For starters, there are people around her who look as if they are decomposing from the inside-out, victims of their rotting souls. Even worse, it’s no illusion. What she is seeing is real, a shadowy part of the world where the bloody battle between good and evil is being fought every day by an ax-wielding “dead man” and his rag-tag army of supernatural freaks.

    And she’s being asked to join him.

    Obviously that’s not how Tanis wants to spend her afterlife—she’d rather party with her new-found abilities—but an unimaginable horror is rising from the Black Sea, and she might just be the only person who can save humanity from an agonizing, never-ending nightmare…

    Reborn features a fresh, colorful heroine in an action-packed, darkly funny tale of adventure and terror told by an incredible dream team of award-winning, widely acclaimed writers: USA Today bestselling author Kate Danley (The Woodcutter), Emmy Award–winning screenwriter and novelist Phoef Sutton (Cheers, Boston Legal), TV writer/producer and author Lisa Klink (Star Trek Voyager, Painkiller Jane), New York Times bestselling author and TV producer Lee Goldberg (The Heist, King City), and two-time Edgar Award–nominated writer William Rabkin (Monk, Psych).

    This book was initially released in episodes as a Kindle Serial. All episodes are now available for immediate download as a complete book.

      Predictable at times, but still a good story. I might have enjoyed it more if I didn't know how it was going to end, but that's my own damn fault for reading the Repairman Jack books before the Adversary Cycle. The next time I read this glorious mess of a series, I'm doing it in chronological order.
    • 4/5
      Well, this one was just okay. It didn't seem to have the same punch as either the Tomb or The Keep but it was still okay, and kind of takes the reader the direction in which the series is going to go. Would I recommend it? Yes, but, you would be very strongly advised to read beforehand Wilson's books (in this order): The Keep, The Tomb, The Touch. Otherwise, (especially read The Keep) you're going to be a little mystified if you start with this book, because you won't know the backstory. So, if you're following the series, and you're an F.Paul Wilson junkie like myself, then I would recommend it.Here's the basic story (hopefully w/o spoilers):Jim Stevens is a young writer who is married to Carol. Jim receives a letter from an attorney telling them that his presence is requested at the reading of the will of Roderick Hanley, who had recently died in a plane crash. Jim wonders why he needs to be there, then puts two and two together and decides that it must have been Roderick Hanley who was his natural father; Jim had been put into an orphanage from which he was adopted as a baby. So to make a long story short, Jim inherits Hanley's mansion and his fortune, which is huge. But as Jim is going through the things left behind by Hanley, he finds a bizarre journal leading to a fateful discovery about himself. It is not long until this journal is made public, and not long until an odd group of religious believers come together for a common purpose. If their work is not successful, the world as humankind knows it will change forever.It was suspenseful and I didn't stop reading until I put the book down. However the plot mechanism outside of Jim's story is somewhat worn so it lost its edge. I did like it, though, & look forward to the next in the series.

      Set in 1968 in New York City, the novel starts with Dr. Roderick Hanley, a Nobel Prize winning geneticist, dying in a plane crash. This sets in motion a chain of events that will facilitate the rebirth of an ancient evil entity. With Hanley’s death, Jim Stevens, a struggling writer and proud atheist, inherits Hanley’s vast fortune. In the process, he finds out about his own history and the strange way he came into the world. Meanwhile a group of Christians have been brought together to combat this ancient entity. They believe that they are trying to stop the anti-Christ, but the being is actually far worse than Satan. Mr. Veilleur is the only one who seems to know what is actually going on and he is very reluctant to join in the fight.I found this novel to be layered and enjoyable. The writing is strong and there is a good deal of dramatic tension. The novel took a surprising twist a little past the half way mark, which seemed to confuse myself as well as the characters in the novel. The book had a number of interesting characters. I liked the dynamic between Jim Stevens and his childhood friend who became a priest. To complicate matters, there is a love triangle between them and Jim’s wife. There were a couple of things I didn’t like. One was the connection between a person being a clone and not having a soul, and how that can lead to this evil entity occupying them. That part wasn’t particularly explained well. I also thought there were some story lines that didn’t go anywhere, such as the priest’s fascination with the politics of the day, and an orphan boy who couldn’t get adopted. Despite this, I enjoyed reading this novel and would recommend it.Carl Alves – author of Blood Street

      Jim Stevens is the central character of this story, set in 1968. He was adopted as a child and has never known his birth parents. Now a world-famous scientist, Roderick Hanley, has died and left the bulk of his estate to Jim, who concludes that Hanley must have been his father. Poring over Hanley's papers for some confirmation of this, and any clue about the identity of his mother, Stevens learns that he is actually the product of a secret WWII cloning experiment. He undergoes a bit of an identity crisis, but that's only the beginning--the worst is yet to come.
