A political prisoner throughout his childhood, Antón Castillo (Giancarlo Esposito) dreams of becoming El Presidente just like his father before he was killed and his family imprisoned during a revolution. A Leukaemia diagnosis might be his undoing, but an experimental drug that can only be grown in Yara, keeps him and his dream alive. But to hold on to power and keep up with production demand for his miracle drug, he must go to extreme lengths that shock even his own son Diego. Journalist and activist Clara García is determined to stop this dictator in the making whatever the cost.

Starring: Alejandro Vargas Lugo, Alex Ruiz, Ana Clements, Antonio Fornaris, Ariel Butwyna, Daniela Azuaje, David Juarez, Diego Jalfen, Erika Soto, Fernando Tiberini, Frederico Louhau, Gabriel Porras, Giancarlo Esposito, Jackie Quinones, Javier Prusky, Laura Cucurullo, Lorraine Ansell, Marta De Silva, Natalie Castellanos, Simone McIntyre, Stephane Cornicard, Susie Valerio, Vicky Tessio and Vidal Sancho.

I was so excited back when this was announced!!!! To get a whole prequal not just about Antón but also Clara García AND Máximas Matanzas???? It was like a dream come true and the team DELIVERED the atmosphere was amazing, the characters and VA’s were fantastic! I’m so happy to see more of this amazing world and get to know more of the characters in it! And all the little nuanced details were phenomenal you could tell a lot of heart and care for the source material went into this!!! Also I’m sooooo glad they delved into the Academy in this book! It was such an interesting (and frightening) part of The game that was really glossed over. With the inclusion of it it really makes Antóns regime much scarier. 100000/10 can’t get enough of this!!!!

Such a Faithful Prequel!

The story was poorly written and most of the voice actors didn't have the right tone that fits the mood of the situations they were in. The book seamed to push political views not relevant to the story which made some parts of the story seemed forced and didn't tie in well with the story. I gave this book 3 stars overall because I did enjoy Giancarlo Esposito's voice acting, like the FarCry franchise, and liked the idea of having multiple narrators and sound effects.

Bad story, bad narration

I loved it ! It sounds like ur playing the game it’s very cool never heard an audio book like this

Great audio book

It's a very straight forward backstory to one of the best characters in the game. Anton's evolution to me is the most entertaining part, easily. I want to play the game now!

Pretty simple but fun backstory

I loved the video game, but this gives you an 'in more depth" view into the eyes and thoughts..the experience of Anton Castillo. A couple hours in and I'm HOOKED, although there was one gruesome part in the story about his father in prison being tortured that was so detailed and everything everything it made me cringe a bit, I still love the story so far. SUCH. a great find on here!

Truly Capturing!

I’m a huge Far Cry fan so when I saw the announcement for this title I immediately preordered it and it did not disappoint.

All the cast members were superb but especially excellent was Giancarlo Esposito reprising his role as Anton Castillo. But that’s not a surprise to anyone.

The story was a well written and showed such a great history into the events leading up to the start of Far Cry 6. This isn’t your typical audiobook, it’s an audible adventure. Lots of sound effects, dialogue between cast members, etc. It was like listening to a prequel movie for the video game.

I would 100% recommend to anyone who is a fan of Far Cry and/or Giancarlo Esposito. This audio-based, feature-length cutscene provides a exciting look into the past events leading to Far Cry 6. It was so well done it makes me want to play Far Cry 6 again.

Awesome Backstory for Far Cry 6

I was very excited to learn Giancarlo Esposito was part of the narration. Was the only reason I bought it. I wasn’t aware that it was a game and probably missed a lot because of that but I did not find the story or writing entertaining. The dialogue seemed clumsy and poorly written.

Definitely disappointed.

Loved it

After hearing this, I want to go back and play Far Cry 6 as Anton. Giancarlo is amazing which is no surprise, but the story, production, music and acting make this a story worth hearing even if you know nothing about the game.

Fantastic backstory

Ok, as an addition to playing the game.
Good performances all around.
But the story is nothing special with no surprises or anything.
If you don't play the game this is not for you.

Fun if you play the game
