Synopsis

When four recent high school graduates return home from a weekend of camping, they expect to go back to life as usual. Instead, the boys discover empty streets, abandoned cars, and utter silence—everyone has disappeared. As the friends attempt to solve the mystery, they stumble upon more questions than answers. Why won’t the electronics work? Where did the wind go? What do the notebooks full of gibberish mean? With each new discovery, they learn that nothing was ever quite what it seemed on Echo Island and that a deep secret is drawing them in—if only they would surrender to it. Join Bradley, Jason, Archer, and Tim on this exploration into myth and mystery. Uncover exactly what happened on Echo Island and what these four friends’ story has to do with God, the meaning of life, and the nature of reality.

2.75⭐️ So, as the premise suggests, this book started off super great, and I had high hopes. However, as the story unfolded it got more predictable, a bit boring, and also very confusing… Premise: 4 teen boys who are slowly starting to drift from each other in terms of life choices, personalities and......more

Goodreads review by Wes on November 14, 2020

C.S. Lewis wrote a remix of Stranger Things. Honestly though, great book. Wilson does a great job with his first fiction book. It’s a page-turner the whole way through. For fans of C.S. Lewis, you will like the way Wilson puts his writings to work in this book. It’s a fun story that doesn’t take all......more

Goodreads review by Tim on January 16, 2022

There is very little great Christian fiction out there. Most of it is Amish love stories and wildly exaggerated tales of the coming apocalypse. But you won't find that here. Jared's book is smart, fun, and has a way of sneaking up on you. Not going to lie this book wrecked my day. But in a very good......more
