Summary

Kharon, the Boatman of Hell, has been doing his job since the dawn of time - and he is tired.

As a demon, Kharon had always been feared by the souls as he ferried them to their afterlives. But, not anymore. The world has changed, and the mortal souls he now encounters are self-entitled jerks. Instead of cowering, and asking why they are in Hell, they argue, and they demand to see his manager or a lawyer. This human behavior alone has Kharon dreaming of retirement; leaving his boatman role to be carried on by his last living heir.

In the mortal realm, Chad is your typical 20-something young man, who spends his days flirting with bikini-clad women as he rents out jet skis. In the evening, he immerses himself in drinks, and partying. But then, in the blink of an eye, this young man is dragged into the pits of Hell to repay his family’s debt to Kharon. He must exchange lazy days in the sun, for transporting souls through the nine circles of hell.

How will Chad cope with being surrounded by angry souls, and demons whose only desire is to taunt him? Can he successfully continue the legacy? Does he want to?

Oh, and everyone gives the same advice: Don’t touch the Demon girls!

Hell is almost appealing!

Nick James has done it again. Another fantastic story, laden with fun, frolics and Nick’s signature humour. It’s an easy read, with entertaining characters and fast-paced storyline. Would definitely recommend.

Laugh out loud funny

What a brilliant book. Kharon the ferryman of hell is bored, the souls talk back and demand lawyers, the guy with the horn is driving him nuts and this has been going on for eternity. He wants to retire to an easier life but needs his last heir to take over. What is brilliant idea. The writing is excellent, the character are great and it is laugh out loud funny. Loved Chad and Josh and the party boat of hell. I enjoyed every word and was sad when it ended. Nick James.is a inventive, fun author who always produces entertaining stories. Jak McDonough does a superb job with the narration making the story a joy to listen to. I received a complimentary copy of the Audio from the Author and am leaving a honest voluntary review.

Absolutely brilliant!

One of the best audiobooks I've listened to in years. It covers the goings-on in Hell. Not a cheery subject you may think, but when Charon the boatman gets fed up with ferrying souls down the Styx, he calls in a long overdue debt to his last surviving family member on earth to take over from him. Unfortunately the young man is happy with his hippy beach-bum life by the sea and isn't too keen on the offer. A hilarious tale of demons and devils trying to cope with the new order. Excellently written by Nick James and wonderfully narrated by Jak McDonough (although his 'Scottish'? accent could use some work!) . A must listen , but not for the squeamish (or prudish!).
