It was the best thing that ever happened to him. It was his god’s blessing. It was hell. Vell was content to be a mere warrior in the Thunderbeast tribe, staying behind on the hunt to guard the camp. But then something alien awakened deep within him, the spirit of a behemoth that he could not control. With it came attacks from the sky, visitors from far lands, and a mysterious command from their ancestral totem: Find the living. And this time, no one was going to let him just stay behind.

Fun story but read by a mush mouth
Would you try another book from Edward Bolme and/or Jean Brassard?
The story is fine enough but this reading was just too painful. It grated on me about every 10 seconds when he would talk in his feminine voice.
What didn’t you like about Jean Brassard’s performance?
Limited annunciation, clarity , and an inability to be understood when he draws out any word.
