Return of the Old Gods

By: David Collins

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

The modern gods are gone; they have been removed from power by the old gods. The old gods are back: Greek, Egyptian, Norse, Roman, Hindu, Aztec, Celtic, Japanese, Chinese, Babylonian, and many others.

The first thing they do is kill off over 1 billion people who have been judged as Evil. They also eliminate the weapons of all of the militaries, all nuclear power fuel, and waste.

Gordon Anderson was a clerk at a 7-11, and he was (as usual) late for work. That is suddenly the least of his problems.

The world is changing; everything is in turmoil. However, the most disturbing fact may be that his phone now has some new contacts listed in his address book.

The gods of old, the ones that have just judged and executed a billion people and are literally shifting continents like chess pieces. They now have him on speed dial…

The right type of apocalypse

I really love and hate the idea of living in this world. Imagine being able to text living gods and getting an answer at the cost of having to rebuild the world. So much fun and the lore was great!

Rated poor performance because I don’t like the use of bots reading to me. There were a couple of errors and hiccups. Overall not bad and I know that not everyone can pay for a voice actor.

a few hiccups

As far as the story goes I'm in love with it. I absolutely eat up anything with Egyptian gods in it, & this has them & more. It's a fun "coming of age," "reap what you sow" style book. the virtual voice isn't horrendous (it get wonky in a few spots) but it does get a few words wrong, & stumbles through dialogue, but I've heard worse from actual narrators.

A little gem

This is an enjoyable read. The rules of the world are consistent and the main characters are decent people. We are planning our honeymoon at the end of October and we plan to listen to this one while driving.

I am a Neo-Pagan and found the treatment of the Old Gods well thought out.

Good story, not so good narration.

This is the 4 book I have listened to that used virtual voice. The other books have had minor and few errors in the narrations.
This book however has numerous errors.
The authors should have someone listen to the narration prior to release.
Over all a good listen, but the errors are distracting.

Ai voice but good story

The ai narratoring is jarring sometimes but it's better than most text to speech voices I've heard.
The story is good, although the wording is weird sometimes. easy to follow mostly and nice ending
