Resumen del Editor

Fifteen awesome authors. Fifteen outstanding stories. One amazing universe.

From the outside, The Lyon’s Den doesn’t look like much; there isn’t even a sign. But Mercs of all species know that if you head to Southwest Houston, near the Starport, there’s a particular run-down strip mall that looks like it’s been abandoned for years. The glass door second from the south end of the strip is plastered over on the inside with blue paper, and the faint golden outline of a rampant lion is the only clue.

The door is locked, of course, and beyond the door is nothing but a darkened hallway with a downward slope and a slight curve to it. Once you follow this curve far enough, you are greeted by two very large, very well-armed Lumar. “Welcome to the Lyon’s Den,” the larger of the two says without a translator, and without a trace of an alien accent. “You know the rules?”

Welcome back to the Four Horsemen universe, where only a willingness to fight and die for money separates humans from the majority of the other races. Edited by best-selling authors and universe creators Mark Wandrey and Chris Kennedy, The Gates of Hell: More Tales from the Lyon’s Den includes 15 all-new stories in the Four Horsemen universe by a variety of best-selling authors - and some you may not have heard of...yet.

Fantastic!

Solid all around. Highly worth the credit, especially with the vast amount of stories within!

Great stories Overdramatized narration for some

As the title states, great stories but the narration was a bit overdramatized and breathy during some of the stories.

Great stories, terrible narration.

The stories were great, but there were many parts of the narration that left a lot to be desired.

the narrator is overly dramatic the whole time. Imagine the stereotypical "in a world where anything is possible" voice, but apply that to things like "he put THE pencil down." it's ridiculous. the fact that there's zero dramatic change from mundane things like sending a message to the narration of pitched battles is just sad.

add to that the fact that many of the pronunciations used for names, alien species, planets, etc. are highly inconsistent with those used throughout the 4HU audiobook series and you have hours of annoyance that makes it much harder to enjoy the actual content.
