7th Son: 7 Days – Episode 1

7th Son: 7 Days coverWelcome to the first episode of 7th Son: 7 Days, a free audio prequel anthology to J.C.’s thriller novel, 7th Son: Descent. Set two weeks before Descent’s extraordinary events, these seven stories stars a unique “John Michael Smith.” Learn more about the anthology here.

Today’s story features Jack Smith, an Arizona-based geneticist. Emerging from a lousy past month in his personal life, Jack had hoped November would be better. The universe — and a local cult leader — have other plans for the family man.

After the story, J.C. delivers some spiffy news about this anthology, and the upcoming release of 7th Son: Descent.

7th Son: 7 Days’ anthem is “UltraNumb” by Blue Stahli. Learn more about the artist at BlueStahli.com.

    Great story, J.C.! Many thanks for revisiting these characters and bringing new depth to them. It will make the re-listen / read even more compelling!

    Maybe it’s just my button being pushed, but DUDE that was the most chilling, horrific thing you’ve ever written. I’m more than a little creeped out by you right about now.

    Love it! Thanks!

    I’ve missed these characters so much! PE:DA has it’s own kind of appeal for sure, but 7th Son has a more typical sci-fi appeal. I’m SO happy you’re going to reread all three novels. By the third one you really had your style down and Decent could really use the redo. I’ve already got mine preordered though I’m concidering getting more copies and giving them away as White Elephant gifts or something. :D
