About this listen

In 525 BC, the Persian king Cambyses sent 50,000 soldiers across the conquered Egyptian desert to take an oasis city not far from where the Libyan border stands today. According to Greek history, a hurricane-force sandstorm struck near the end of their 600-mile trek. The army - all 50,000 men - vanished without a single trace.

Fast forward to 1986. A British archaeological team, sent to the edge of the Great Sand Sea to exhume evidence of the incident, has also gone missing. So the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense is sending the world's greatest paranormal investigator, Hellboy, to find the missing Brits and to discover what became of The Lost Army.

If you're a fan of Hellboy and a completionist you'll get a kick out of this, but otherwise you're safe to skip it. The whole romance subplot is weird and kind of out of character, but as a stupid side adventure you can't really go wrong. Main issue is that none of the rest of the B.P.R.D. is here for Hellboy to bounce off of and the plot, such as it is, doesn't measure up to the quality of even the most forgettable oneshots written by Mignola and co. for the comic.

Narrator seems to be having a great time with it, he manages to make the material entertaining when on the page it'd probably drag like crazy.

It's fine.

It is a fun story and I like the characters. The narrator really tries to convey each character differently with degrees of success. Honestly as a big Hellboy I can not help but love this story.

I love Hellboy. I have read and watched all. I felt like a change and thought, ok an audiobook! What a mistake. The narrator is terrible. As 'dull as dishwater' is a term that comes to mind. His attempts at accents and voices in general are cringe worthy, and in normal narration, he sometimes sounds like an automated reader. Sorry Mr. Mitchell - you should have passed this one up.

Who hired this awful narrator?
