Publisher's summary

Ron Fortier's darkest creation returns!

When the souls of the innocent cry for justice, one man hears their call: The Undead Avenger - Brother Bones. He stalks the Depression-era streets of Cape Noire, waging a never-ending war against the forces of darkness. Bones has never met a foe he could not defeat, but now he faces an enemy unlike any he has ever known. With a motley crew of unlikely allies - and his silver-plated twin .45s - Bones must stop an ancient evil that threatens not only Cape Noire, but the entire world.

Brother Bones is back to cut a swathe of destruction through his first full-length novel!

Writer Roman Leary and illustrator Rob Moran deliver the gun-blazing thrills in this epic tale of two-fisted action and spine-chilling horror!

Old school style of radio show

Will remind you of the Shadow (to which there is a subtle nod to) and other such shows. A very noire style of presentation. Brother Bones is a great avenger for the side of good. Dick Tracy style criminals mad scientists mystical powers secret societies and more. The narrator gives life, voice and character to a host of unique characters and puts you right there with them. Well written well read. The 2nd installment of the Brother Bones series that I have read. Love it and can't wait for more. I received this audiobook from the author narrator or publisher for free via audiobookboom in exchange for an unbiased review.

An excellent piece of pulp!

Personally, I think this book might be better if you were read a physical copy. The narration is great, but I found it difficult to follow the various story lines and all of the active characters due to a stark lack of transition. I had to go back and re-listen to many parts of this book, because sometimes I would be utterly lost as to what was going on, and that caused me to be unable to multitask while listening.

Nonetheless, this book is highly enjoyable! I adore the old-timey feel of the dialogues along with the dark and violent subject matter. Brother Bones is my favourite character, and the raspy narration for him by J. Scott Bennett really brought him to life. Mr. Beast is another very interesting character, and I found myself anxiously waiting for the scenes to shift back to either Brother Bones or Mr. Beast. The fact that it is set in the depression era just makes it even more delightful! If you love pulp stories then you should definitely give this book a try! This book is very complex but a whole lot of fun, and it would make a wonderful addition to anyone’s library!

I Love Brother Bones !!

Ron Fortier's Brother Bones is an awesome noirish thriller. Six Days of the Dragon was excellent. I love the characters, the situations, and the setting. These are great stories and I hope they're continued. Roman Leary's a great writer and this was a gem.

J. Scott Bennett's narration was top-notch. His voice inflections are incredibly good and he was a perfect fit for this book. I can't imagine anyone else reading these. He's a super talented voice actors and one of my top favorites.

Great continuation and furtherance of the adventur

If you liked Brother Bones: The Undead Avenger, then you should like Six Days of the Dragon as well. If you haven't listened to Undead Avenger yet, then you might want to do so first... Six Days of the Dragon develops the characters and world introduced in the first volume...and tells an exciting, jaw-dropping tale of supernatural good versus high stakes supernatural evil! The narrator's voice takes some getting used to at first, but his performance is excellent! On to the next volume!
