Oblivion and beyond

Breaking a bargain with a god is impossible, or so they say.

Which means Hannah is Cthulhu's forever. But she still hasn't learned to use her powers at will and old Tentacle Face isn't happy about it. His minions drop Hannah at Cain's doorstep with orders — make her useful in a month, or she dies.

Cain isn't sure what's worse — damning her to an eternity serving Cthulhu, or letting her die. No matter what he does, he'll lose her.

But a wizard and a dwarf have a proposition: Trade Cthulhu something of greater power than a demigoddess. It just so happens they know exactly where to find such a thing — on a dead world the gods abandoned eons ago.

The world of Oblivion was created before Gaia. A war between the gods destroyed most life and left it a desolate, dangerous wasteland. Hidden somewhere on that world is the lost armory of Hephaestus. It is said to contain super weapons created by the blacksmith of the gods. If Cain can locate it and procure such a weapon, Cthulhu might be willing to make a trade.

There are others also looking for the armory. Among them are the mechanists, a faction that despises magic and wants to destroy the gods with their own super weapons. Their clockwork devices are unlike anything Cain has faced before, and they're the least of his worries.

But Hannah saved Cain by trading her freedom for his life, and he'll enter Oblivion itself if it means saving her.

Oh Gods and action

NO SPOILERS.

John Corwin’s Enter Oblivion continued the story of Cain and company. If you enjoyed Book 1 of Chronicles of Cain, then Enter Oblivion has what you liked but now with a slightly more expanded world. Humor and action aplenty. A good entertaining story. DRmz 02-16-2024

Enjoyable second book

His was a nice paced story that added some depth to the characters. With all that takes place it seemed to be a mild, slow paced story. So a good executed story .

Great story!

I like the way the characters are evolving and growing closer. I am excited to see how the nod toward the Iron Druid plays out.

Almost had to lower it to three stars for story

Almost had to lower it to three star for story because the Wrath of Kahn is not the best Star Trek movie, the Voyage Home is.

Great series so far

I listen to a lot of books. Over 1000 last year. I have been looking for a good series along the lines of the Dresden files. I finally found it.
