Far Cry: Absolution

By: Urban Waite

Narrated by: Mark Bramhall

The official prequel to the latest instalment of the Far Cry video game series.

Hope County, Montana. Land of the free and the brave, but also home to a fanatical doomsday cult known as The Church of Eden’s Gate that has slowly been infiltrating the residents’ daily lives in the past years.

Mary May Fairgrave, a local barkeep, has lost almost everything to the Church: her parents died in suspicious conditions and her brother, entranced by the cult leader’s charismatic words, has vanished. When the authorities refuse to investigate further, she decides to take matters in to her own hands.

Local hunter William Boyd was saved by Eden’s Gate years ago, during the darkest moments of his life. When his duties lead him to cross paths with Mary May, the daughter of one of his old friends, he soon discovers that what is happening in the county is far from what he believed.

Up against an omniscient and dangerous adversary, Mary May stands little chance. But the unexpected intervention of William Boyd will change her journey - as well as his.

great story. had some lore issues. but good

it was really really good. sadly the author and narrator clearly hadn't played the game or researched the characters. the ages of the family were way off and they had redneck accents for some odd reason. Very good story if you can get past those issues.

If your a fan of Far Cry 5

The story is good but the reader is so mono-toned it almost makes it unbearable to listen to.

rating

It is a perfect book and the narrator does an excellent job for the tone of the story.

Insightful!

I grabbed this book to add some depth to the upcoming game Far Cry 5. Little did I know I was purchasing one of the best stories I've read in a LONG time. Truly adds another level to the story of the game, but it's not just something to accompany the game. This book has everything that should allow it to stand alone as a good read regardless of playing the game.

very good listening voice

very good voice for this type of genre. I hope more books come from this series
