Summary

Headed for some well-deserved shore leave, Shepard is gunned down in the streets of Seattle, a victim of "a mugging gone stupid." He awakens, not in a hospital bed, but in the surreal world of Purgatory. Within seconds of his arrival, he is saved from a gruesome and painful end by his new best friend, Horace. That's Quintus Horatius Flaccus the philosopher, to you Roman history buffs. Horace explains to Shepard the cold, hard rules for surviving in Purgatory. More than just the walls have ears, and he's not sure how long Shepard will last.

funny, quirky and gory! Great narrator

If you can describe a book as quirky, this is certainly it! It goes from laugh out loud humour to suspense, action, drama and what I can only describe as a gory, horrific, slime filled true death. Intrigued? I was all the way through!

I really enjoyed this audio book, the narrator was excellent, he was so expressive and he did the dry, drole humour very well.

Do you think you could survive purgatory where there are only two rules that must be followed? Mwahaha unless I was lucky enough to meet a Horace in my first few minutes like Shepard did, I don't think I'd have lasted long at all!! Want to know the rules? Read it to find out, it will make you laugh, cry and cringe all at the same time lol. I'm looking forward to what happens next.
