About this listen

The powerful Lord Sargatanas, Brigadier-general in Beelzebub's host, is restless. For millennia Sargatanas has ruled dutifully over an Infernal metropolis, but he has never forgotten what he lost in the Fall. He is sickened by what he has done and what he has become. Now, with a small event - a confrontation with a damned soul - he makes a decision that will reverberate through every being in Hell. Sargatanas decides to attempt the impossible, to rebel, to win his way Home and bring with him anyone who chooses to follow...be they demon or soul. He will stake everything on fighting all the abominable forces of Hell arrayed against him, when the prize is nothing less than redemption.

Critic reviews

"Fascinating.” (Guillermo del Toro, Director of Hellboy and Pan’s Labyrinth)
“Scary stuff? Maybe. Gross and hideous and disgusting? Now and then. There’s also hope and loyalty and internecine plotting—politics as usual and unusual….Hopes, fears, escapes, affections, acceptances all roil in the ashy smokes above and around the characters.” (The San Diego Union-Tribune)
“A fierce and stout narrative that echoes certain other fantasy classics even more so than it does the canonical authors Milton and Dante, while retaining a splendid novelty of conception….given all these inflowing currents into the mighty river of Barlowe's own imagination, the book attains a weighty magnificence.” (SciFi.com)

the story is interesting, and kinda rare, fallen angels in hell who have become Demons , some try regain what they were, others have given into evil , the story lacks any humour at all ,and is not an easy read , the narrator doesn't help much, slow and serious, I had to put him on 1.20 speed , it's graphic at times but not really horror well not what I would expect for a book about hell , slow but we'll written, and thoughtful and occasionally disturbing

good story narrator ok

A small piece of constructive criticism and my only one; I’d love to hear the voices of the characters in the books but with effects , maybe pitch shifting or some kind of odd plug-in effect possibly? It would enhance the experience from my point of view .

If you are into "hell in a semi christian setting" this is brilliant. He builds a hell that is truely evil and believable. The plot is not too complicated and is pretty easy to predict, but thats not the major element of this book in my humble opinion, its the setting...and it does that truely well :)

Fantastic reading

Not quite my cup of tea, not sure how I expected Hell and demons to be portrayed really but something didnt sit right for me the way that they are portrayed here. I suppose being a borderline atheist / agnostic I really should not have chosen this book in the first place, but it seemed an interesting listen and I would say it was that. If you do have religious beliefs however, I expect this book my come close to what you would call blasphemy and you may not enjoy it, so I am not really sure who would find this book an ideal listen.

interesting idea.
