About this listen

When linguist Andrew Dennison is yanked from his bed by the Secret Service and taken to a top secret facility in the desert, he has no idea he's been brought there to translate the words of an ancient demon.

He joins pretty but cold veterinarian Sun Jones, eccentric molecular biologist Dr. Frank Belgium, and a hodge-podge of religious, military, and science personnel to try and figure out if the creature is, indeed, Satan.

But things quickly go bad, and very soon Andy isn't just fighting for his life, but the lives of everyone on earth…

From start to end, very well narrated and thrilling story. Enjoyed every bit of it.

Great pace

Its easy to find books that make you want to barf but finding ones that even make you smile is quite tough. Finding ones that do both is very rare. This is one of those.

Humours and horrible

Fast paced, well researched and a great ending. I'm getting pretty good at the 'Bub' voice - another plus!

Great stuff.

I came across this book looking for some decent horror audiobooks and was not disappointed. You can't even say it starts off slow - it throws you right in there with what you're about to face.

The author is not one I am familiar with but I will be now - he explains things to clearly and if you have a decent enough imagination, you can really envisage the scenes & monsters that the team are facing in this book.

An interesting read and I can't wait until the sequel, 'Holes in the ground', comes to audiobook too!

That pesky Bub...

Didn't enjoy this. I found the characters too cartoonish and some of the things they came out with made me want the dark side to win. Sorry Mr Konrath. I'm sure it's exactly what many, many people are looking for.

Not for me.

Possibly the most poorly written book I have encountered. Vacuous, immature and cringe-inducing from beginning to end.

Hilariously bad
