Publisher's summary

Where does an angel go when he’s been to Hell and back?

Renegade angel Bobby Dollar does not have an easy afterlife. After surviving the myriad gruesome dangers Hell oh-so-kindly offered him, Bobby has returned empty-handed – his demon girlfriend Casmira, the Countess of Cold Hands, is still in the clutches of Eligor, Grand Duke of Hell. Some hell of a rescue.

Forced to admit his failure, Bobby ends up back at his job as an angel advocate. That is, until Walter, an old angel friend whom Bobby never thought he’d see again, shows up at the local bar. The last time he saw Walter was in Hell, when Walter had tried to warn him about one of Bobby’s angel superiors. But now Walter can’t remember anything, and Bobby doesn’t know whom to trust.

Turns out that there’s corruption hidden within the higher ranks of Heaven and Hell, but the only proof Bobby has is a single feather. Before he knows it, he’s in the High Hall of Heavenly Judgement – no longer a bastion for the moral high ground, if it ever was, but instead just another rigged system – on trial for his immortal soul…

Sleeping Late on Judgement Day is the third installment of Tad Williams’ urban fantasy Bobby Dollar series!

I am already waiting for the fourth in thje Series

Where does Sleeping Late On Judgement Day rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I have listened to hundreds of audio books. This one is in the top ten percent.

What about George Newbern’s performance did you like?

He reads the book at a fast pace which is exactly what is needed to keep the listener in all the way.

Any additional comments?

I personally like the style the author uses. He weaves off the point intentionally and then pops back in at exactly the right time. Great job.

The narrator was amazing

I loved these books and will eagerly read more if Mr. Williams would grace us with the stories. For those worrying about the religious aspect, don't worry, there isn't one. No single religion is implied or examined. It is all very well done and a wonderfully complex adventure story with a backdrop like you have never seen before. Very refreshing read

Why isn’t this on screen

Hi! I love all three of these books. The writing, characters, dialog, and arc - are superb. They are honestly some of the best and most adaptable books I’ve ever come across. I don’t understand why they aren’t on the silver or small screen, but if anyone from such an agency is reading this - I would be happy to help make that a reality. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for an authentic and true to the books adaptation, meanwhile, my thanks to the author for the great pleasure of these works.

Another good read

Great series and quite humorous. Outstanding performance by the reader. It was such a good listen that I listened to all three this past week.

Not your average noir story!

How do I write a review for a book that has two previous books in the series. This one is the CLIMATIC conclusion that answers all your questions...if snarkly.

William's writing is so superior to modern authors I would be surprised if someone builds a statue to him in some local park.

Good Story and Great Narration!

George Newbern, you are an impeccable narrator, sir! I read vol 1-2, and the voice was spot on with what I had imagined as Bobby in my head with his dry and sarcastic tone. The narration truly made the story come to life for me, and hats off to Tad again for another enjoyable series! :)

Lots of action

I liked this book. I didn't like it as much as the previous two books. This one had too much detail when describing the battle scenes for my taste. All in all, I recommend it, though.

Huge Improvement Over Awful Book Two

This book returns to and surpasses the quality of the first. It's just a shame that you have to read the second book to get here.

Great listen

Great series. Love Tad and his spin on the machinations of heaven and hell. Definitely puts questions in your head about what really goes in out there behind the scenes.
