“This is quite simply the best book I have ever read and heard. I am just working my way through the podcast for what is now I think the sixth time. I first listened probably ten years ago and have come back to it so many times. The story and the characters are exceptional and it grips me...”Read full review »

“I generally give audiobooks a 3 chapter go/no go, and almost closed this, but the story grows and grows and grows on you. Actually ‘story’ is not a fully accurate description. The Immortals is a tale of the tragedies, will, and triumphs of the American (human) spirit, and a hope for the future....”Read full review »

“Set in the near future, the story explores relationships, science, technology and politics that together result in death camps. Touching and pithy, the story tracks the characters in the death camps and presiding military as the tussle between power and escape.”

“Great idea for a story but way way to preachy, obvious religious undertones that I found extremely frustrating.

“As I spend many hours on the road I tend to listen to lots of audio books prefer them over music
However I came upon this book and at first I was not quite sure this was my thing but as the story evolved I found myself totally engrossed in it
It is very well written and read I recommend you...”Read full review »

“The plot occasionally gets a little forced to drive the very thinly disguised allegory (if you can call it that) but on the whole it more or less works. It is the sort of book that, if in paperback, you'd find in a remainder bin or in an airport bookshop - a read to keep you occupied and...”Read full review »

“An excellently written piece of work, dripping with ill-disguised symbolism, prophecy and warning.
I would not go as far as saying this is Orwell's 1984, but it does have the same blood running through its veins!
Definitely give this podcast a try, you will not be disapointed.”Read full review »

“This one's a stinker, through and through. The story is marginal, and as others noted the background for each character is ludicously drawn out and insanely boring. Probably half the book is backstory, and the rest is just the author trying to make trying to make their point with all the grace...”Read full review »

“At first you might not get this book, but after a few chapters you get to know the charters. After that you start to root for the charters. I am not so sure I like the ending, however, I am not sure if it could have ended any other way. The story drags on at times and would have been just as good...”Read full review »

“I appreciate the efforts of every writer and I thank the author for sharing this story. I must say however I found this more of a sermon than a cautionary tale. I perservered until the first (literal) stone was cast then I turned it off in frustration.”

“Not great. Hickman is a very talented author, and performs well as a voice for his work. The problem is with the content. Though the story is gripping an you sincerely care about the characters, the treatment is heavy handed.
At times Hickman seems more intent on giving detailed descriptions...”Read full review »

“Don't listen to this if you're expecting another Dragonlance novel. Don't listen this if you are looking for light entertainment. Don't listen to this if your not willing to go on a journey.
