An orphan’s life is harsh - and often short - in the mysterious island city of Camorr. But young Locke Lamora dodges death and slavery, becoming a thief under the tutelage of a gifted con artist. As leader of the band of light-fingered brothers known as the Gentleman Bastards, Locke is soon infamous, fooling even the underworld’s most feared ruler. But in the shadows lurks someone still more ambitious and deadly. Faced with a bloody coup that threatens to destroy everyone and everything that holds meaning in his mercenary life, Locke vows to beat the enemy at his own brutal game.

All the praise is well-earned. A terrific fantasy heist tale that reads like a cross between Alexandre Dumas and Fritz Leiber. And the narrator Michael Page is outstanding.

Meet Sam Thornton, collecter of souls. The souls of the damned, to be precise. Because of his efforts to avert the Apocalypse, Sam Thornton has been given a second chance: provided he can stick to the straight-and-narrow. Which sounds all well and good, but when the soul that Sam is sent to collect goes missing, he finds himself on a path leading straight to Hell.

Lucian has resolved to cast aside his ties to humanity, end his exile, and make his way back to his beloved celestial city. But what he finds when he arrives there is not what he expected: Mysterious beings all in black roam the cosmic pathways, most of the gods have somehow vanished, and those who remain look upon him with unadulterated suspicion and hate. His mission is this: he must clear his own name and find the true culprit, even as his brother and sister gods do everything in their power to capture and destroy him.

Any additional comments?
Fans of Roger Zelazny's CHRONICLES OF AMBER and LORD OF LIGHT should find Van Allen Plexico's LUCIAN: DARK GOD'S HOMECOMING a great deal of fun. Lucian is a "god of evil" in a fictional pantheon of deities in the far future, accused of a crime he didn't commit. Along the way to solving the mystery Lucian encounters a trio of humans and a colorful variety of gods. Plexico carefully renders a compelling universe, perhaps falling short only with the human Evelyn, Lucian's love interest who falls a bit flat. The story moves along at a nice pace and reaches a satisfyingly gradiose climax. Richard Coombs is an adequate if not top-tier narrator. All in all, if you like space fantasy and rakish protagonists, you'll enjoy this book. It's not a dictionary-sized tome like much of fantasy these days (and all the better for it, if you ask me), instead harkening back to the slimmer sf/f books of decades past. But there are more titles in the series for those wishing to immerse themselves in the universe.
