Publisher's Summary

From New York Times bestselling author Craig Alanson comes book three in the Convergence series, melding action-packed urban fantasy with his signature humor. Read by none other than award-winning narrator R.C. Bray.

Kaz Wolfe is trying to prevent ancient gods from regaining access to our world. The Order wants to open a portal to the Nether to gain power by serving those gods. Playing defense isn’t working. The Order always has the initiative. It’s time for direct action, to hit the Order hard.

Before it’s too late for us.

Typical Craig Alanson/R.C. Bray audio book...

... and that's not a bad thing. I like the story and the characters (mostly). However, every time Wolfe talks about not knowing anything about magic, or the Jinn tells him he's an idiot it feels like the most repetitive filler. It's essentially the same interaction and relationship between The Magnificent Skippy and Joe Bishop in his Expeditionary Force series.
There are multiple repetitive interactions between most of the characters that could easily be left out and would make the story much easier to listen to.
Either way, I'm sure I'll continue to buy the series as they come out, I just wish it could get to the point a little quicker and have fewer of the repetitive character interactions.

Very Enjoyable Series

Have very much enjoy listening to this series. It’s definitely entertaining. Love the dialogue between the characters especially between Duke, Boots and the genie. RC Bray does an excellent job of narrating.

Can't wait for book 4!

Another amazing series from Craig Alanson! Such a great story with mysterious characters, action and comedy. All of it voiced expertly by R. C. Bray. I can't wait for book 4 and hope it won't take too long! Now off to listen to Expeditionary Force, a great series by Mr. Alanson and voiced by Mr. Bray!

An engaging series with impelling characters.

Enjoyable storyline with great characters. RC Bray is the best narrator I have experienced on Audible. Duke is a good dog! Boots makes me laugh.

Very interesting take of fantasy

Great books for audio. If you like how Alanson writes then it’s great following all the little things. If you like to complain about filler then go buy something by else.
