    About this audiobook

    Lyrical, poetic, and hypnotizing, The Coming tells the story of a people's capture and sojourn from their homeland across the Middle Passage-a traumatic trip that exposed the strength and resolve of the African spirit. Extreme conditions produce extraordinary insight, and only after being stripped of everything do they discover the unspeakable beauty they once took for granted. This powerful, haunting novel will shake listeners to their very souls.

      This book was too beautiful and too well written for words. Such a tragic story.

      Great book. Beautifully written but as some of the other reviewers stated it is very sad. I would definitely recommend it.

      So many things made this book great. I loved the biblical references Some areas were written like poetry. The descriptions were vivid and I could relate to pain, anguish and even the will to survive. In a society where history is skimmed over or erased this book reminds us of how far we have come and how important it is to keep fighting for our rights. If I were an educator,this book would be required reading ! Well done!

      What a great book. It takes you back to the beginning of what it was like to be captured by captors. The author actually takes you on a journey of what life was like on a the slave ship. Great read

      Dynamic! Daniel Black does not miss. Awesome book about slavery where the majority of the book takes place on a slave ship. I can’t wait to read more his books.

      It was very written He’s a master of visual imagery. Unfortunately. The harsh reality of the subject matter was so depressing that I’d be hard pressed to recommend it to anyone.

      A haunting story of the slave trade, but delicately written to allow reader to walk through the experience of the enslaved. The story reaffirms the resiliency and strength of the black race. A must read!

      It changed my life. I’ve read countless books on slavery, but this one one was written very differently.
