Summary

Hitman Don Drake owes a gambling debt to a demon. Forced to carry out one more assassination to clear his debt, Don unwittingly kills an innocent child and brings the Furies of Greek myth down upon himself.

Rescued by an almost fallen angel called Trixie, Don and his magical accomplice - the Burned Man, an imprisoned archdemon - are forced to deal with Lucifer himself whilst battling a powerful evil magician.

Now Don must foil Lucifer’s plan to complete Trixie's fall and save her soul whilst preventing the Burned Man from breaking free from captivity and wreaking havoc on the entire world.

Not sure at first

Where does Drake rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Close to the top of this particular subgenre (urban fantasy)

What other book might you compare Drake to, and why?

Hellblazer (graphic novel)

What about Mark Meadows’s performance did you like?

All the characters were distinct and convincing

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No

Any additional comments?

I was really not sure about this at first, the main character comes across as a sleazier version (if that's possible) of John Constantine (Hellblazer) but he does mature as the story progresses and I'm hoping he becomes more likeable over the course of the next few books.

Salubriously seedy

Where does Drake rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

2

What did you like best about this story?

Authentic and unapologetic protagonist

What does Mark Meadows bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

Mark gave it a true London edge though I didn't think his reading female characters was great.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Headlong rush into trouble.
