About this listen

The gods are back. Did you myth them?

You probably saw the press conference. Nine months ago, Zeus' murder catapulted the Greek gods back into public life. Now, the whole pantheon revels in new temples, casinos, and media empires - except Apollo. An overachiever with a bursting portfolio of godly duties, the amount of email alone he receives from rapacious mortals turns each day into a living hell.

Yet there may be hope, if only he can return Zeus to life! With the aid of Thalia, the muse of comedy and science fiction, Apollo will risk his very godhood to help sarcastic TV producer Tracy Wallace and a gamer geek named Leif - two mortals who hold the key to Zeus' resurrection. (Well, probably. Prophecies are tricky buggers.)

Yet, whoever murdered Zeus will certainly kill again to prevent his return. Can Apollo escape the murderer when he doesn't even know who they are? Can he do it before the muse gets cranky? Do the venomous bat-winged kittens terrorizing Nevada have anything to do with anything?

This book likes to make fun of the listener, sometimes entire sections is dedicated only to make fun of people making assumptions about the various situations.
Its fun, hard to predict, the narrator is good, and its overall just a fun listen.

There could be more about the flying kittens as seen on the cover (They hunt in packs), but they are in there, and is considered far more dangerous than Hydra's, gorgons, and other of the various monsters within.
Because the flying kittens of death is just so cute, they are hard to kill. even though they are super dangerous.

Subversion of many expectations

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Jokes galore, perhaps a little too much though. Still an awesome book and well worth a listen.

Like Terry Pratchett?

Excellent book and performance. The story is witty throughout with just enough quality plot points to offset the nonsense humour, asides to the reader and general silliness of it all. The Greek legends are artfully repurposed, particularly the Muses and the Erinyes who are the best part of the book, along with the razor wing death kitties.

Engaging and funny.

Came across this by accident, fun little story well narrated. Will definitely consider listening to the author (and narrators!) other works.

Good fun, a bit Pratchett/Douglas Adam like

I really enjoyed this book, the plot what is very early Pratchett-est which is no bad thing.

And the performance while it took two chances to get by the end of the book you couldn't imagine anyone doing a better narration.

A Godly adventurer
