Five hundred years ago, brother gods devastated their world with civil war. When they were imprisoned, their conflict ended without a victor. Centuries passed while their followers secretly continued the war, a war that will soon have an end. The gods have found their paragons. When half-bloods Harruq and Qurrah Tun pledged their lives to the death prophet Velixar, they sought only escape from their squalid beginnings. Instead they become his greatest disciples, charged with leading his army of undead.

Wonderful dark fantasy with true anti-heroes
Revisado: 01-27-17
I was given this book for free in exchange for a fair and honest review.
This book is truly dark, but well written and recorded. The characters are nearly irredeemable, but it was still enjoyable to hear their tale. This series could truth or really incredible, and I'm definitely looking forward to more.

A fun and action packed scifi adventure
Revisado: 01-24-17
Would you listen to Alien Jungle again? Why?
I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.
I didn't realize this was a book 2 when I got it, but the author does a good job providing enough context and light exposition to allow a new listener quick entry to the series. The books action is non-stop and I don't think there was more than 5-10 minutes of downtime throughout its entirety. The characters are fun even if the dialogue is a bit cliched, and the story is engaging.

Where's the Next Shelter? is the true story of three travelers on the Appalachian Trail, a 2,000-mile hike that stretches from Georgia to Maine, told from the perspective of Gary Sizer, a seasoned backpacker and former marine who quickly finds himself humbled by the endeavor. If you long for the horizon or to sleep under the stars, then come along for the hike of a lifetime. All you have to do is take the first step.

It's not A Walk in the Woods, but its very close
Revisado: 01-17-17
Any additional comments?
I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.
I was hesitant to dive into another AT book after being disappointed by everything after A Walk in the Woods, but this one was great. The characters were all great and writing is very solid with the exception of the one town the author just reads a timeline of events. The narration by the author is also very good and he does a wonderful job of bringing his story to life.

A fun little series starter
Revisado: 01-17-17
The writing is good and the universe is well thought out and interesting. The characters are the best part though and their interactions are well written and developed. The actual story in this book is pretty small in scope, but it does open a lot of doors for the series which I'm interested in going through.

At the heart of these stories, as with all the best of Lovecraft’s work, is the belief that the Earth was once inhabited by powerful and evil gods, just waiting for the chance to recolonise their planet. Cthulhu is one such god, lurking deep beneath the sea until called into being by cult followers who – like all humans – know not what they do.

Great narration of great stories.
Revisado: 01-10-17
All for stories are great and are a great primer for Lovecraft. The Hound in particular is short and "sweet" and the narration really brings the story to life.

Very solid if very average.
Revisado: 01-09-17
I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.
The story was well written but not very inspired. if you want a very vanilla fantasy book this one will do you well, but there isn't much new to find here beyond the titles namesake. The story is well told and the characters are decently fleshed out, but I've read enough fantasy novels that I like them to be more novel than this one was.

Ensign Andrew Dahl has just been assigned to the Universal Union Capital Ship Intrepid, flagship of the Universal Union since the year 2456. Life couldn’t be better…until Andrew begins to pick up on the facts that (1) every Away Mission involves some kind of lethal confrontation with alien forces; (2) the ship’s captain, its chief science officer, and the handsome Lieutenant Kerensky always survive these confrontations; and (3) at least one low-ranked crew member is, sadly, always killed.

Thr codas are an interesting idea but not much more. Easily skipped with little lost.
