The First Ark: Deathless Prequel

By: Chris Fox

Narrated by: Ryan Kennard Burke

Length: 1 hr and 32 mins

Publisher's summary

"There is a voice in my head, slithering through my mind like a serpent. It whispers dark things. Tells me to feed." (Osiris, Egyptian lord of the underworld.)

Were the Egyptian gods fanciful imaginings of primitive people or something more? Some believe they once walked the Earth as mortals, that they warred and loved just as any of their worshippers.

This is their story--the tale of how Isis gained the power of shaping. How mighty Osiris died and lived again. How they discovered the fabled First Ark, a structure older than man. It is the tale of us all, the story that shaped our race from cave dwellers into the people we are today.

Are these fanciful tales? Or long-lost truth wrapped in myth? Only time knows.

"It's like Clan of the Cave Bear ran right into The Walking Dead." (The author's totally biased friend.)

Loving this.

Starting it out in Egypt has gotten me hooked. I must continue on with this series.

Odd beginning, hoping to get clarification

Narrator, definitely had a strong voice, back story was a little odd & seemed hard to follow along. If this book had been maybe based on Greek Methlogy instead, i might of had a easier time following along with the story

it is what it is

Any additional comments?

you need to know this stuff if you are reading the series
it makes more sense
i actually think its best to read no such thing as werewolves first, then jump to this one
it helps with book 2

Nice little back story

I enjoyed this book although it was way to short. I have read the 1st two books which I loved. If your like me and read the other books then this is just a little bite to hold you over until the author finishes the last book.

Good Prequel

I recently read/listened to No Such thing as Werewolves, and was DYING for more. As I’m unable to buy No Mere Zombie right this second, I was thrilled to find this prequel novella!!

Isis intrigued me, and so a story of her history and how she came to be in the ark was great. The path she took and the birth of the flesh eaters was interesting, detailed, and well written. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope for another prequel about how the wolves came into play. Or does that already exist?

Anyway, this is a short but satisfying instalment of a series I have a feeling is going to be a favorite of mine, and I highly recommend it!

Good tie in the the main trilogy

Some of this was told in the 1st book however this a good tie end to help you better understand how things really happened and why they was so lost by the appearance of the 1st ark

The entire Deathless series is EPIC!!! Best author ever.

I love Chris Fox and Ryan Kennard Burke sooo much, they’ve become my favorite Author/Reader team ever!! This side story (prequel) is just a sliver of what the series offers, and if the amount of research Chris has given to each book is astounding and has a powerful impact! There are now 5 books plus this prequel (so 5.5 books).

I’d also HIGHLY recommend The Magitech Chronicles, as well as supporting his new Magitech RPG board game, and the Void Wraith series!

Amazing!!!!!

I want more. More more more. I can’t tell you how much fun I had listening to this. From the deathless series and the prequel I was taken immediately.

It did it's job.

It answered questions about the origins. and entertained while doing so. I'm happy with my purchase.

Wonderful short addition to Chris Foxs' first book

Where does The First Ark: Deathless Prequel rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It's up there, but not at the very top. It's a short add-on story

What did you like best about this story?

I liked the additional insight into the series

Which character – as performed by Ryan Kennard Burke – was your favorite?

I didn't really have one

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

yes, and I did
