About this listen

Ride with the Horsemen of the Apocalypse as they seek to unearth a plot that could plunge all of Creation into chaos!

Ages before the events of Darksiders and Darksiders II, two of the feared Horsemen - Death and War - are tasked with stopping a group of renegades from locating the Abomination Vault: a hoard containing weapons of ultimate power and malice, capable of bringing an end to the uneasy truce between Heaven and Hell...but only by unleashing total destruction.

Created in close collaboration with the Darksiders II teams at Vigil and THQ, Darksiders: The Abomination Vault gives an exciting look at the history and world of the Horsemen, shining a new light on the unbreakable bond between War and Death.

Would you consider the audio edition of Darksiders: The Abomination Vault to be better than the print version?

I the voice actor naturally helped bring this gritty universe to life. His voice range wasn't necessarily great, but given who these characters are and what they had to go through I think the viciousness is better then range in this case.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Darksiders: The Abomination Vault?

I think the biggest problem in this story is that there really is no memorable scene. It's all very well written, but after listening to it twice, I really can't pull out a particular scene that stood out for me.

Have you listened to any of Bob Walter’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Bob Walter for some reason always reminds me if Jim Cummings in his gruffer roles, a voice actor I always love hearing.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Not t o sound repetitive,but I think the biggest problem in this story is that there really is no memorable scene. The revelations that were supposed to be moving, or some of the emotional scens, weren't bad, just this kind of book has a difficult time trying to be an action horror book as well as conjuring up emotions at the same time. not impossible, but very difficult.

Any additional comments?

Anyone who likes the game series, someone looking for a gory mess,or just someone looking to kick back and read whatever, will find enjoyment in this. There are no heavy themes or ground breaking story telling, but a fun book none the less.

Absolutely loved this book, I love how descriptive the writer is, it almost makes you are feel as though you are there. I will more than likely re-listen to this book again because I love the story, the lore and recital.

Fantastic

The overall story is fairly solid, with a few references to the games sprinkled in for those who had played them. The performance was solid and very well done for most of the characters, with the only exceptions being Lilith and War. The VA, Bob Walter, can certainly get across emotion very well and does amazing as Death, but with Lilith, he comes across as too breathy for my own liking. As for War, having heard Liam O'Brian bring the character to life in the first game with his stellar performance, I can't really treat Bob's admittedly good performance as on the same level. That said, it's likely nostalgia speaking.

Solid read
