Death's Heretic

By: James L. Sutter

Narrated by: Ray Porter

Nobody cheats death. A warrior haunted by his past, Salim Ghadafar serves as a problem-solver for a church he hates, bound by the goddess of death to hunt down those who would rob her of her due. Such is the case in the desert nation of Thuvia, where a powerful merchant on the verge of achieving eternal youth via a magical elixir is mysteriously murdered, his soul kidnapped somewhere along its path to the afterlife. The only clue is a magical ransom note, offering to trade the merchant's successful resurrection for his dose of the fabled potion. But who would have the power to steal a soul from the boneyard of Death herself?

Enter Salim, whose keen mind and contacts throughout the multiverse should make solving this mystery a cinch. There's only one problem: The investigation is being financed by Neila Anvanory, the dead merchant's stubborn and aristocratic daughter. And she wants to go with him. Along with his uninvited passenger, Salim must unravel a web of intrigue that will lead them far from the blistering sands of Thuvia on a grand tour of the Outer Planes, where devils and angels rub shoulders with fey lords and mechanical men, and nothing is as it seems....

my first audible experience it was tops

the book was so good that I have decided to take my d&d campaign in a hole new direction great voices to fell in love with the characters

Fabulously performed!

The narrator does a Phenomenal job, until you get to the female parts, then it gets weird. Get women narrators to do the female segments!!

it's pretty good

Women's voices could have been better. Wish they'dve hired a lady for the lady voices

FunRide

This tale adds depth to an already richand immersive world set in the Pathfinder rpg universe. This is a fun ride whether you are a fan or not.

Got you dead to rights

excellent book. narration top notch. story somewhat predictable but very entertaining.

Never has an afterlife been so entertaining and interesting. Very Pathfinder oriented and if you game in the world it will help you with background.

completely suprised me!

I was expecting your typical over environmental descriptive story; with a semi-monotoned narrator because i got this book for free. Boy was i wrong! the narrator gives every character a voice and was excellent at adding tones and mood inflictions. Will definitely be following this narrator and books!

awesome concept, great series

the series is interesting to say the least. very well thought out without being overbearing, dynamic but not overwhelming. loved this book!

A fantastically grim tale

A grim yet fantastic tale of adventure with great naration. I hope to read more about the adventures of Salim. I would recommend this to any one looking for a dark trip through the planes and Golorian.

i just wish these books were longer to...

justify the credit to spend. otherwise, I thought the writing was solid. I do think the narrator is great with voices save for the main girl.

A medieval bettlejuice feel the book.

I Loved it! Dispute guessing the mystery culprit I still greatly enjoyed the story. Looking forward to the next in the series.
