Salvation

The Burning Tree: Book 1

By: Christopher Artinian

Narrated by: Kim Bretton

Length: 10 hrs and 40 mins

Publisher's summary

The bunkers were built for the apocalypse. Just not the one they expected.

Life was bad and getting worse in the depths of Salvation. It did not take the people of Level Three long to realize that the only reason they had been spared from the cataclysm was to become a slave class. Now, a single accident has changed everything.

Fear is spreading like a virus. Rumors become facts the moment they’re spoken. Neighbor is turning against neighbor. And time is running out fast.

For most, this signals the end. For Callie and her friends, there is just one hope, but to find it, they’re going to have to fight through the most terror-filled night of their lives. Can they escape the horror that awaits them? Or will these next few hours be their last?

What a great first book in a new series.

This is probably the best storyline of what could happen due to the Global Warming and not taking care of the planet.
I knew Miss Kim was talented, she breathes life into these complex new worlds and characters. She sings too! What a talented author and narrator. I am delighted that we have had her as the narrator for all of the compelling stories that Mr. A has created so far.
This new series has it all, a fast-paced believable storyline, lots of action, betrayal, heartache, intrigue, interesting and complex characters.
I highly recommend this author and all of his work. Give him a try and you will not be disappointed.
Get the audio book and prepare to lose yourself in this new world.
Leave your reviews, let’s make sure we get this team the recognition they deserve.

Global warming is real!

The book was intriguing and suspenseful. I listen to this book because I love safe Haven and the end of everything by Christopher Artinian. If you haven’t listened to those two series I would get them right now. They were great! Now Salvation is depressing for me, because we should be doing more about global warming and there’s only one political party that is interested in doing anything to stop global warming and our other political party is doing everything they can to block you anything from being done. We have known about this problem for many years yet the world is doing very little or at least not enough. So what I’m saying this book it’s a little too close to home it’s good. However I like the zombies genre tale

Well done post apocalyptic production!

Nice addition to post apocalyptic fiction. It took a bit to get to the meat of the story, seeing this is at least a three part story, author needed some time to set the stage.
This is a trilogy (that I can see so far) book one still “ended” nicely without the dreaded cliffhanger.
The narrators did an excellent job too!
I will purchase the the next book as I am vested in how the characters progress.

omg wonderful

So ready for book 2!! when I was done all youbheard was NOOOO! got so lost in this book! bit, I do that with all your books! Tina get on him to finish book 2. you out dis yourself this tme

🤩 more beautiful than I expected

I knew I’d be hooked from the moment I heard “The Burning Tree” song at the end of Safe Haven - Neverland (Part 1) by Christopher Artinian, also read by Kim Bretton. This was an audio immersion and I loved the strings in between the chapter sections.
Full disclaimer: I always read these books as soon as I can because they are so good with twists that are surprising and insightful. (I loved reading along to the song too because as a super nerd I pulled up my Audible copy as soon as Harper took the stage!

This is not my first gushing review - I am positive it won’t be my last.

Luckily for me - I was given this review copy audiobook by my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Excellent story and fabulous performance!

This is truly a wonderful performance. It feels like the characters are just locked down and ruled with an iron fist, possibly without a way out. But no matter how bad things get, Mr. Artinian never fully takes hope away from the characters. In turn, he also gives me hope for humanity through the story. Mrs. Bretton does an outstanding job with this story. I loved it!

Phenomenal book!

It’s a pretty intriguing book from the start and it only gets better as you continue to listen! There’s lots of details but not so many that the story drags, but not too few that it leaves holes in the story either. The ending is great! I can’t wait to read part 2!

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review

Excited for more

This is an intense and thoroughly enjoyable take on the apocalypse genre. This looks like the start to another great series from Mr Artinian
