About this listen

Adventure in New Pittsburgh....

New Pittsburgh, 1898 - a crucible of invention and intrigue. Born from the ashes of devastating fire, flood, and earthquake, the city is ruled by the shadow government of The Oligarchy. In the swarming streets, people of a hundred nations drudge to feed the engines of progress, while in the abandoned tunnels beneath the city, supernatural creatures hide from the light, emerging only to feed.

Jake Desmet and Rick Brand travel the world to secure treasures and unusual items for the collections of wealthy patrons, accompanied by Jake's cousin, Veronique Le Clerque. But when their latest commission leads to Jake's father's murder, the three friends are drawn into a conspiracy where dark magic, industrial sabotage, and the monsters that prey on the night will ultimately threaten not just New Pittsburgh, but the whole world.

I really enjoyed the book. It is a combination of fantasy, supernatural horror, science fiction, action adventure and murder mystery. The book starts off with action from the beginning and continues at a good pace. All of the characters were interesting, including the villains. The storyline itself kept me glued to the book. The narrator was very great. He did a wide range of voices and accents and showed plenty of emotions with all characters. It is unfortunate that the second book in the series is not on Audible, so I am off to get it on Kindle.

Very interesting book
