Some men go to war for the glory. Some men go to war to escape. For Scott Remington, war is entirely different. It is a belief. It is a calling. It is a destiny. Leaving everything behind—his fiancée, his future, his life—he embarks on a mission of faith into a battle he can barely understand. This is his story. This is his war. This is only the beginning.
The Dawn of Destiny audiobook project is a full adaptation of the first book in the Epic series. It's not your typical “audiobook,” even though technically that's what it is. When people hear “audiobook,” there’s a certain type of thing that usually comes to mind. Most likely it’s the thought of someone reading a book to them, occasionally with music playing in the background. This isn't that.
What you’re going to hear in this project, is more of an audio “experience,” the audio equivalent of a summer blockbuster movie. Over thirty voice actors played a role in this. This is ear-splitting sound effects, bombastic music, and characters shouting back and forth in the middle of a war zone. This is unlike anything you've ever heard.
This is not a book I would have read on my own. I am not a huge fan of reading action or war-based storylines. That isn't to say that those stories aren't important, or uninteresting. It was more because I use books to escape, and science fiction and fantasy typically fulfill that need. Military-based plot lines are just too real; the death, the loss of life and the incredible sacrifice those individuals can be overwhelming, even more so the emotional aftermath of it all. But running away from things that make me uneasy isn't what I want to do, so I gave this book a chance. Plus Starship Troopers is one of my favorite films.... and we all know the only good bug is a dead bug.
