About this listen

Henry Kyllo is a Runner, a member of a secret society called the Inferne Cutis. Every day he is chased through the city by Hunters whose goal is to fill him with bullets. It is a secret war steeped in history, tradition, and mutual fear.

Rumours abound about what happens when a Runner achieves ascension, but it has supposedly never happened before, so no one knows for sure. Except that it has happened before. And it is happening again. This time to Henry Kyllo.

Really, really poor. The all the characters are from the same city, yet half have English accents, half have pseudo American accents. The narrator does not have a good American accent, and not in the way that people say occasional English Hollywood actors have shaky American accents, this sounds like he's never even tried before.

The story makes no sense, has no regard for basic physics, and has 0 consistency for the size of the character. No motivations are clear, and worst of all, nothing is in any way explained. The story is based around a potentially interesting secret sub-culture, but it is never explored, explained, or really even referenced. DO NOT buy this if you're interested in the premise. Or, realistically, at all. I'm genuinely trying to think of a redeeming feature, but I can't.

Just don't buy this. If it were free, I'd say stay away.
