About this listen
Two thousand years ago there lived a man who sold some valuable information for a fee of 30 silver coins. His name was Judas Iscariot, and he is no longer with us. The coins, however, still exist - and still hold an elusive power over all who claim them. Like Andrew, whose attempts at innkeeping bring in stranger business than he ever expected. And Aunt Naomi, whose most-prized family heirloom is a silver spoon - with a curiously ancient-looking engraving.
And especially old Mr Pennyman, who is only five silver coins short of immortality... Jules Pennyman is on a mission - a quest for the 30 pieces of silver of Judas Iscariot. Other novels by this author include The Digging Leviathan, Land of Dreams, and Homunculus, the latter winning him the Philip K. Dick Award.

If this book wasn’t for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?
I don't think anyone would enjoy this book unless they have the patience of a saint and are happy enough with the most mediocre of storylines and dreadful narration.What was most disappointing about James P. Blaylock’s story?
The narration, the storyline - awful, awful, awful - so bad I named it thrice.Would you be willing to try another one of Christopher Ragland’s performances?
No - not at all and if I could return this one for a refund I would definitely do so.If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Last Coin?
If I cut out as much of the it as was necessary - there would be no book left.Any additional comments?
I gave this book an hour and the only reason I gave it that long was because I was listening to it in my car whilst driving and couldn't change to something else (I'm new to the iPod). I can't seem to return it now that my membership has expired, but I know I will never, ever try to listen to this book again, so a bit of a waste of my money really.Absolutely Dreadful

The rest of the book was without color and the secondary chatters were very weak.
I struggled to finish and I wondered why I struggled with this in the failed hope of at least an eye opening ending.
life is too short ,find something else.
A very disappointing tead
