About This Audiobook

Eddie Drood has spent his life protecting humanity from supernatural threats, but in the ninth Secret Histories novel, the danger turns personal. When several major players in the paranormal world, including Eddie's own loved ones, are abducted and forced into a ruthless interdimensional competition, Eddie must enter the contest himself as a ringer. The so-called Big Game pits supernatural heavyweights against each other in a pocket dimension where the only way out is through, and the house always has an angle. Green keeps the stakes visceral and the mythology dense without losing the series' signature wit.

Gideon Emery is a natural fit for Eddie's sardonic first-person narration, balancing world-weary confidence with genuine urgency as the plot accelerates. His vocal range handles Green's sprawling cast cleanly, and the banter-heavy dialogue lands with the right timing. At nearly 14 hours, the runtime flies, making this an easy choice for fans who want propulsive urban fantasy that rewards attentive listening.
