Audie Award Finalist, Solo Narration - Male, 2014

Audie Award Finalist, Paranormal, 2014

New York Times and Wall Street Journal best-selling author Larry Correia sets this gritty urban fantasy, a sequel to Hard Magic and Spellbound, in an alternate noir 1930s. A tough P.I. battles an interdimensional monster that wants to suck magic power out of the world.

Only a handful of people in the world know that mankind's magic comes from a living creature, and it is a refugee from another universe. The Power showed up here in the 1850s because it was running from something. Now it is 1933, and the Power's hiding place has been discovered by a killer. It is a predator that eats magic and leaves destroyed worlds in its wake. Earth is next.

Former private eye Jake Sullivan knows the score. The problem is, hardly anyone believes him. The world's most capable Active, Faye Vierra, could back him up, but she is hiding from forces that think she is too dangerous to live. So Jake has put together a ragtag crew of airship pirates and Grimnoir knights - and set out on a suicide mission to stop the predator before it is too late.

These books plus the other Monster Hunter series by Larry Correia should be made into a series of movies they would blow the socks off the competition.
As always fantastic value for money entertainment

In the third book of the series Larry really keeps up the pace of the story and characterisation that makes this a class leader of the genre.

Does not skip a beat

Bit of a slow start as everything gets set up but from chapter 15 to the end in chapter 23 the book was fantastic. It was a really exciting and well constructed end to the trilogy. The book switches perspective throughout as the characters converge but I liked each section and the switches helped keep the pace up. The plot made sense, the characters actions were consistent and the descriptions were well done. There were few exaggerated stereotypes (a Japanese femme fatale called Lady Origami for example) but I took these to be intentional for comic effect and enjoyed them.

My only criticism is to do with how the book ends with "Here's the first chapter of the fourth book in the series." but this is actually not the fourth book rather one of the short stories written in the same universe. The story was so short that the 30 minute preview I heard was actually half of the entire one hour story (as an audiobook).

The audiobook narration was great.

Slow start, strong finish
