Earth
is at war. Portals are opening across the planet and bringing creatures known
as Outsiders. Their only desire is to eat, leaving a trail of destruction in
their path. The only people who can stop them are the Defenders – led by Gareth
Walker – who can open portals of their own to target the Outsiders in minutes.
Gareth’s only advantage is an ability to see glimpses of his future.
For
the past decade the Defenders have held back the incursion, but now a new
portal opens, bringing something that Gareth did not see coming. As he must
find a way to stop this new threat, he starts a quest for answers. He must
learn how the war began and find a way to stop them once and for all.
All
the while, he is aware of a shadow in his future – a moment he can’t see past.
Will stopping the Outsiders cost him everything?

Shadows of Tomorrow by Jessica Meats
is a terrific book with interesting and believable characters that you can't
help but feel for and become emotionally invested in. With the author's attention to detail, the
reader can't help but be drawn into the story and the world in which she has
created.
This
book is narrated by Jake Urry and with his lovely British accent took this
story to a whole other level of enjoyment.
This is the third audio book I have listened to that is narrated by Mr.
Urry, and each one continues to get better and better. The performance was solid and the 'voices'
were subtle yet distinctive enough for the listener to keep track of the
speaker. I would have liked to have heard
more emotion from each of the characters, but this is just a personal
preference and did not distract from the story.
Overall,
Shadows
of Tomorrow is riveting story with a unique plot that will keep any fan of
science fiction engaged throughout. This book is truly a hidden gem among the
many jewels in the literary world and one that I would highly recommend.
