Book description
Hey, you've got to hear this-my latest audio obsession, Jeremy Szal's "You've Got to Hear It," and it's a night-tossing, heart-racing, brain-burning kind of story. I was instantly drawn in by the fact that Szal, who grew up with dingoes and spent his childhood hacking through the lawless, is now turning that raw, restless energy into a full-on, pulsing sci-fi horror. He's already made a splash with the Whole of the "Common" trilogy, and this first book-"What's It Called, The First?"-is the perfect, bone-rattling launchpad.
The tale follows a former Reaper, a once-unsung, dead-eye soldier named... I don't have his name written down, but the vibe is pure. He's a "dead man" turned into something more, a hybrid of humanity and the ancient, alien "stormtech" that keeps him in a perpetual state of high-octane, a drug that turns you into a walking, talking, blood-squirting weapon. The world is a bleak, cold place, a galaxy where an intergalactic body, Harmony, uses the same drug to keep its troops in line, while the enemy empire throws everything at them. It's a perfect, gritty backdrop.
What makes it truly terrifying is the personal twist: his brother, long abandoned, now becomes the key suspect in a series of brutal murders. There's a slow, relentless build as the narrator brings the story to life-every hiss of a gun, every pulse of that monstrous drug, every quiet, cold glance. And the sound? It feels as if you're standing inside a storm, the thunder of distant battle, the whir of a weapon's gears, and the low, almost whispered murmur of the stormtech's call. It keeps you on edge.
The emotional core is just as dark. You're watching a man torn between the desire to protect his family and the urge to betray them to stay alive. It's an all-out, emotional and physical rollercoaster that has you listening to the end.
If you love something that feels like a late-night séance with your ears, "Stormblood" is the book to play, to keep you up with your eyes wide open and your heart pounding. It's a dark, thrilling, and just a little bit sinister. Give it a try.
