Historia
Michael Havel was flying over Idaho en route to the holiday home of his passengers when the plane's engines inexplicably died, forcing a less than perfect landing in the wilderness. And, as Michael leads his charges to safety, he begins to realize that the engine failure was not an isolated incident.

don't let the reviews disuade
Revisado: 09-30-22
I've read the entire series and the companion "nantucket" series. Listening to the story sets a different tone altogether, but that is fair, each person sees a story in their head differently. The story itself is great. Yes there's a pagan element to this series. It's a frigging fantasy series... get over it.
Yes, there is some suspension of belief required (again..Again... it is a FANTASY series set in a post technological, nigh apocalyptic setting where the laws of physics all of a sudden change. Drop the ego and read the story as a story).
My only real complaints about the story/series as a whole are the obvious tropes borrowed from classical literature.. then again we all tell the same stories over and again. Cyclical existence and all that. There are some obvious over uses of surface level research into real world things but that's kind of run of the mill in many books, we can't all be experts on everything. My best advice to the listener/reader is to just read it/listen to it and draw your own opinions. I enjoyed both and have read and reread the story many times. Very well drawn out story. A word to the wise though, the last few books of the overall emberverse series get a bit lovecfaftian, so take it with a pinch of salt.

Historia
Through no fault of his own, the once human Jim Eckert had become a dragon. Unfortunately, his beloved Angie had remained human. But in this magical land anything could happen. To make matter worse, Angie had been taken prisoner by an evil dragon and was held captive in the impenetrable Loathly Tower. So in this land where humans were edible and beasts were magical - where spells worked and logic didn't-- Jim Eckert had a big, strange problem.

when the author is also the narrator you do get a bit better understanding of the contextual cues. that being said. it's a Rankin story. surreal and entertaining and confusing.

Welcome to the world of T. W. Brown's DEAD saga. This raw, violent, and brutal world isn't populated with military supermen and women, or preppers that have been waiting for the human extinction event to arrive. This is a world of normal people...some good, some bad...and some pure evil. This is a global look at the end of the world. Follow Steve and his group as you see the apocalypse unfold through a single person's eyes. With the Geeks, you meet four young men who thought a zombie apocalypse would be cool...and quickly discover that it really isn't.

sorry, could not make it through. narrator needs some training in his field. at least read the book first and make some notes on situational tone, inflection.. and for the love of God work on your accents.

Historia
My name is Nate Temple, and I’m secretly a wizard. I ride a foul-mouthed unicorn, drink with Achilles, and am pals with the Four Horsemen. I’ve even cow tipped the Minotaur. I understand the theory of following the rules. I’m just not very good at the application. Because, rules were meant to be broken. Especially when I find out a monster just murdered my parents. Now all I can hear is the sweet, soothing song of vengeance in my ears, playing on repeat.

rather derivative.
Revisado: 06-18-21
I guess if you like Mashup mixes of contemporary music, you will like this story. The writing style feels rushed and the story is derivative. Elements of nearly every popular story series to hit the charts for the last 15 years perpetrated with a Bruce Wayne meets Harry dresden character. ill call it ok for some light listening.

very good indeed. not as reliant on mythos as the emberverse series, provides a nice counter balance to the other side of this whole story arc.
