Book description
I've just wrapped the latest Sandman Slim adventure, The Perdition Score, and I'm still buzzing. If you've ever wanted to dive headlong into a chaotic world where angels argue like street gangs and death is a business card you keep on your desk, this is it.
From the moment the narrator steps in, the pulse-driving energy kicks off. James Stark-aka Sandman Slim-has just met Death and his killer, and now the Augur of Sub Rosa, Thomas Abbot, thrusts a fresh, deadly assignment at him. "Investigate the disappearance of a young boy and uncover council members tied to Wormwood's power brokers," Abbot demands, and the stakes skyrocket faster than a rocket on a midnight run.
Stark's world explodes when a dying angel hands him a vial of black liquid, a mysterious weapon that could decide whether humanity's souls slip into Heaven or get stuck in a nightmare. The narrative thumps as one of Stark's closest allies gets poisoned with that very same liquid. Desperation turns to a daring quest: travel to the heart of Hell, where only the damned might have a cure. The narrator's voice slices through the chaos, turning each desperate breath into an audible heart-thud.
The plot layers like a hard-hitting drumbeat. On one side, we have the angel war: a faction that wants to let souls ascend, battling rebel angels who would die to keep the gates shut. On the other, the very souls of the damned have struck a dark pact with these rebels-something darker than any twist Stark has faced before. The tension mounts as the world's fate, and every soul's fate, hangs in a balance that feels almost physical. The narrator's timing is perfect, pausing just long enough to let each revelation sink in, then rushing back into the next.
Stark's character arc feels razor-sharp. He's a man tired of normal life, who finds a new mission and a new set of allies: Candy and an unyielding determination to break the stalemate. When an old enemy waits in LA to finish him, the stakes go beyond cosmic-personal. The voice that brings Stark to life is gritty, seasoned, and unafraid to lay down raw emotions that mirror the book's intensity.
The soundtrack of the audiobook-if you'll allow the metaphor-runs like a relentless beat. Each dialogue exchange is punched with enough force to make the listener feel every clash, every betrayal. The narrator doesn't just tell the story; they build a living world that drips with tension, danger, and the kind of visceral dread that pulls you deeper with every page (or in this case, every minute).
In short, The Perdition Score is a roaring, gut-punching ride through angels, death, and a world on the brink. The audiobook turns the novel's explosive plot into an audio experience that's impossible to sit still for. If you're looking for a story that will keep you on the edge of your seat, this is the one that will deliver.
