Audie Award Finalist, Paranormal, 2014

New York Times and Wall Street Journal best-selling author Larry Correia sets this gritty urban fantasy, a sequel to Hard Magic and Spellbound, in an alternate noir 1930s. A tough P.I. battles an interdimensional monster that wants to suck magic power out of the world.

Only a handful of people in the world know that mankind's magic comes from a living creature, and it is a refugee from another universe. The Power showed up here in the 1850s because it was running from something. Now it is 1933, and the Power's hiding place has been discovered by a killer. It is a predator that eats magic and leaves destroyed worlds in its wake. Earth is next.

Former private eye Jake Sullivan knows the score. The problem is, hardly anyone believes him. The world's most capable Active, Faye Vierra, could back him up, but she is hiding from forces that think she is too dangerous to live. So Jake has put together a ragtag crew of airship pirates and Grimnoir knights - and set out on a suicide mission to stop the predator before it is too late.

Fine entry

I liked the story and it was well plotted and a quick running book. There were quite a few surprises in the story for the main characters and to me some unexpected personal connections. It did seem a little forced in some places to end the series? I didnt expect it to be resolved in this book as happened. I hope we havent seen the last of Jake Sullivan and company.

Larry’s most underrated books!!!

Love these books!! Wish there were more.. just the right amount of good action and intelligence In all of it.. everything is well thought out and relatable. Very engaging and fun. Also serous.. if your a fan of any Larry Correias books than you will love this..

Another great one in this series!

These books are so much fun! They’re just like brain candy! Great narration and a great story all the way around. I highly recommend this book and this series.

SUPERB!

Wonderful story and a fantastic finish! The three novels in the initial trilogy culminate to a masterful finish.

Bronson Pinchot was phenomenal voice with his book

The characters were brought to life by Bronson Pinchot and made me love them. The story carried on and the writing was extremely well so it kept me wanting to listen

Powerful characters and a powerful story

I chose this rating because: there are a lot of great characters developed in the story. 2. The narrator is very talented and helps depict the characters and add depth to them while he's reading. 3. I love how The writer interweaves historical fact with fiction.

Hate to see it end

Loved all three book. This book is the cherry on the sundae. Buy it , listen and enjoy. In the end you will want more.

Great Series!

Love this series. The characters are very vivid and the story line and plot very good. Not as predictible as some sci fi series. Always something interesting just around the corner. The narrator is awesome, and I believe won some awards for his performance. He really brings a great story to life. I hope there are more books to come from Larry Correia.

Such a rich world and entertaining story.

If you could sum up Warbound in three words, what would they be?

Rich exciting romp

What was one of the most memorable moments of Warbound?

I liked how the story continued to grow but it did not overwhelm you. The original concept of this series is a lot of fun. I want to read more about this world and characters.

What about Bronson Pinchot’s performance did you like?

The different voices and I appreciate he narrated all of the books in this series.

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

yes, unfortunately I could not.

Any additional comments?

I will buy the next installment as soon as it is available.

I hope this isn't the end...

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

A lot of urban fantasy writers show you their craft in the story - the formula a little to obvious, themes repeated, etc. Larry Correia doesn't. Monster Hunters is a fun romp, but the depth and texture he puts in Grimnoir is *amazing*. The pseudo-quotes from Darwin, Arthur Conan Doyle, et al preceding the chapters, all the historical characters worked in, and how they'd react in a world with magic. If you like the genre, you'll love this series.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Hard to pick. Truly. Has to come down to Jake or Fay.

What about Bronson Pinchot’s performance did you like?

The number of different vocal characterizations - he's so versatile and he gives each different character a nuance.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Sam Spade Meets Harry Potter

Any additional comments?

All of Larry Correia's stuff - he cranks out *tons* of verbiage but it feels so light and fast paced. We look forward to every book he releases. This installment of Grimnoir *could* finish the series, bu I really hope it doesn't. Can't get enough.
