As a voracious reader, I absolutely LOVE finding a (new to me) author like J.M. LeDuc.  These books rank up there with the best authors that I have ever read, and I'll show you how in this review of the first book.  First of all, the lead character in the series - Brent Venturi - suffers spiritual angst like Charlie Parker does in John Connolly's series.  All 3 books in this series have complex action and adventure plots similar to those that challenge Mallory in Carol O'Connell's series and the various plots of Katherine Neville's books.  The stylistic use of seeing the adventure and the other characters through the eyes of the primary character (Brent Venturi) is comparable to how Eliot Pattison uses his Inspector Shan Tao Yun in his series.  Also, the author uses the power of and the need for spirituality in all three books as a primary character like Eliot Pattison does in his Inspector Shan Tao Yun series.  Finally, all three books are thought provoking both in the inter-personal journeys and spiritual evolutions of each character similar to themes explored in Rod Pennington's and Jeffery Martin's The Fourth Awakening series.PLEASE do NOT be intimidated if you haven't read any of the comparable series.  Just know how special THIS series about "The Chosen" is.  This first book gives the back story of the primary characters, and sets the stage for the entire series.I can not HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book and this series enough.  Kudos to you, J.M. LeDuc.  Please keep writing so that we may keep enjoying your books!
