Cry Havoc

Jack Frey, Book 1

De: Michael Morris

Narrado por: Simon Vance

They say when the demons come, you either fight or you die.

The Black Dogs know this all too well. For 300 years, the warrior priests have sacrificed their lives to keep the island nation of Abios safe from the flesh-eating Nostros, while the rest of the world fell under the demons' savagery. However, an armada now stands poised to invade mankind's last bastion.

Child thief Jack Frey is saved from the gallows and joins the mysterious order. Trained with the bullet and the blade, Jack finds himself on the front line of a centuries-old war.

Across the Angel Sea, Lin is fighting for her life. As a slave of the Nostros, she knows death can strike at any time, either at the hands of her masters or her fellow humans.

Little do they know mankind's fate lies in both their hands.

Great Listen.

Simon Vance is a master of his trade and Morris' story makes it easy on him in this one.

Great Story

This is a great story!! Loved it! I can't wait to get my hands on the second book.

truly evil enemies

The nostros are truly diabolical - which makes the action sequences very suspenseful. I liked the character of Jack a lot - not perfect and reminded me in moments of another fictional Jack I like (Reacher - from the books not the movies of course!). Simon Vance is fantastic as usual and I'm looking forward to hearing what happens in the next tale.

The journey of the hero.

It was an enjoyable way to spend a work day. Not to deep, but I wasn’t trying for a philosophical debate.

outstanding

This audio is fast pace and delivers a strong narration on all the players. I enjoy all vampire books and movies especially when they have a outstanding storyline. Author is excellent with his imagination on this story.

best new series I've started in a long time

I really wasn't ready or prepared for how in-depth the story became truly a wonderful and enjoyable book

Great start to a series

I think the most helpful reviews are the ones that list similar books. The story was great, characters were great, narration was great.
If you liked the warded man, or blood song you’ll enjoy this.

Excellent premise!

This was a very enjoyable listen! Interesting story from the beginning and never lets up! I’ve found a new author to follow and purchase from for sure! I’m so grateful that Audible does the “included in your membership” section because I have found so many great new authors this way without any risk!

Good story with a small scope.

This wasn't epic fantasy, though it did have some of the devices and trappings of the genre. It was sort of a small story in that you really only got to know the two MC's as fully fleshed out characters. All the other people in the story were kind of two dimensional levers interacting with the MC's.

That said it was well written, professionally edited, entertaining, and enjoyable, though maybe not the most complex story ever written. I would disregard the negative reviews that claim that this book is derivative or played out. I felt that it was pretty original in a number of ways and the parallels to other books were at worst superficial. Definitely worth a credit if you're looking for an entertaining listen.

Simon Vance is a great narrator.

Good story, excellent narration. I thought it was a tad bit formulaic, but formulas exist for a reason. I found the story enjoyable, but I might have been tempted to put it down, were I reading it. Simon Vance really brought it together and gave the setting a more legitimate feeling.
