The Conqueror Worm

Black Exorcist, Book 1

By: Ambrose Ibsen

Narrated by: Jake Urry

The year is 2023.

The world's power grids have been destroyed by a Carrington-level solar storm. Humanity is plunged into a new and savage dark age, pushed to the brink of extinction by famine, disease, and social unrest, and preyed upon further by demonic forces.

Desperate survivors turn to a divided Catholic church in search of hope. On one side there is the church of Rome. On the other, a rival papacy set up in Avignon, France. Wishing to heal the schism, but fearing that a powerful evil has infiltrated the highest ranks of the Avignon leadership, Rome sends a lone representative to assess the situation in France.

And also to cut down any heretics he finds along the way.

Exorcist Ossian McGregor, armed with the holy sword Grand Inquisitor, sets out to Avignon on a crusade with the intention to follow the stream of demonic activity to its fountainhead.

But the evil he finds far exceeds even his wildest imaginings.

The year is 2023. Welcome to Hell on Earth.

Excellent Dystopian Horror

I've said this before and I will say it again: Ambrose Ibsen and Jake Urry are a match made in heaven (or, in this case, in the fires of hell?). Ibsen always delivers a dark and haunting story and he doesn't disappoint with 'The Conqueror Worm.' This tale takes place in a future so disturbing that Ibsen thought it necessary to warn the reader before they listen. The warning was warranted.

'Conqueror Worm' follows a dark priest who's job it is to exercise any and all demons he may come into contact with. He seems to be the sole person who can save this new world from the dark forces that have taken over the church. If you like a good horror/action/thriller/fantasy then this is the book for you! Jake Urry gives a most captivating performance in this one, as he always does! I loved this book (though I think the title is more than a bit odd). 10/10

Nice twist

This was a nice twist one a end of the world book. I'd say give it a try if you are thinking about it.

Well written story, but not for me.

I’m a die hard Ambrose Ibsen fan, but this story just didn’t have the impact his books normal have for me. It was well written, but I found myself drifting and not always paying attention. I can’t quite put my finger on why. It didn’t captivate me like the Demon Hearted series did.

WOW!

This has to be the best Ambrose Ibsen book I've read to date. I won't give any spoilers, I never do, BUT JUST WOW! Excellent writing. Extremely detailed story. Listen if you dare.

The voice of Jake Urry's is amazing as he takes you to hell on Earth.

I received this audible free and I'm thrilled to give my honest unbiased review.

Very Unique Dystopion Fiction.

The Conqueror Worm: Black Exorcist, Book 1 by Ambrose Ibsen was a unique take on the normal dystopian fiction event of a coronal mass ejection. A second event that effects the story is the division of the Catholic Church. As a Catholic, I can see a current divide in the church and where it could in a few years lead to a split like events referred to in the book.All this is a setting for a world gone dark in Europe with a divided church where people turn to after the world has gone dark for help. A Priest from Rome is sent out to see what is happening in the new conclave in Avignon, France with the new heretic Pope. This priest is an Exorcist with a dark past. I found the story really engrossing and highly enjoyable. This was different from the other stories of the authors that I have heard but I enjoyed it a great deal and highly recommend it.

The narration was provided by Jake Urry. Mr. Urry did an astounding job with all the character in this book. There depth and range of characters showcased his skill in this performance.
