Dante's Decent

I was given this book in exchange for an honest review. This reminded me a lot of the chaos knights of Warhammer 40k. As Ash and his crew travel the universe in search of Simon Haddow to put an end to his experiments they encounter all manners of depravity. There were some places where the story dragged a bit and if you have read Dante you have some idea what's around the bend as they travel on but it was a solid book and good narrator.

Sci-Fi/Paranormal Fantasy Fun!

Wow! This was unlike anything I've listened to before, and I enjoyed it a lot!

Fun action-packed story kept me interested from start to finish - well written by Isaac Stone and beautifully narrated by one of my favorites, Persephone Rose.

Helltroopers! I don't know much of Dante's work to comment on the comparison, but loved it just the same :)

It's one hell of a ride, enjoy it! :)

Fast paced!

I like this more then I thought I would. I have read another book similiar to this one but I felt this author did a better job. There is plenty of violence and a little profanity. This is a box set of the series. I expected one book but it turned out to be short stories of the series in one. I actually liked this. You can stop when one is finished and move on to the other when you felt like it but it is also good to have them all in one audiobook.
The plot I actually liked and I found it intriguing. My only problem is the main characters love interest at the beginning of the book I found it hard to believe. If you love someone you would keep in touch, not so in this case and he was really hurt when he found something about her which I found really hard to believe. But other then this I really liked it. It is fast paced with plenty of action.

An Interesting Take on a Classic Tale

If you're a fan of Sci-Fi with a twist of the Paranormal, then this novel is for you. I should really say that it's a set of novels, since it's the entire three book trilogy in one package. I wasn't expecting the transitions at first, but the narrator does a great job of giving a quick pause before jumping back into the action.

With that out of the way, the way Persephone Rose reads the novel is very interesting. He gives the A.I. characters a robotic, yet humanizing voice which was a nice touch. He also does a good job of giving the other characters a sense of who they are through their voices and actions. You can almost hear their mannerisms as they complete tasks, which I highly enjoyed.

Having read Dante's Inferno in college, I was pleased to listen to this refreshing take on the tale, as well as it's companion pieces. You can tell that great care was taken to ensure the main points were brought across, while each "floor" was given a unique spin on what they contained. Isaac Stone's vision of the source material was very well realized in my opinion.#DarkFantasy#Cynical#Tagsgiving#Sweepstakes

wow! that was an interesting listen

I haven't listened to many paranormal books, but add some sci-go and I'm game. the format added an an extra incentive to try it. I liked the characters and the narration was decent, but its the application of future science that I liked the most. having said all that I need to inform you that I requested this audio from the author/publisher, and agreed to voluntarily leave my review.

A Fast Paced Sci-Fi/Paranormal Blur

I immensely enjoyed this trilogy's unique combination of fast paced science fiction being blurred with paranormal elements. The author's incorporation of a real 16th-century occult language into the series was a particularly nice touch in adapting The Divine Comedy to a science fiction setting based Earth's history. Persephone Rose's narration really captures the action and bizarre paranormal aspects encountered by the team the story follows.

Fun retelling of a classic

I enjoyed the heck out of this book. The author warns you up front that this is a retelling of Dante's Divine Comedy (The Inferno, The Purgatorio, The Paradiso) and that it doesn't follow a typical narrative arc for that reason. That might throw some listeners off, but didn't bother me, especially since I knew why.

Like The Divine Comedy, The Inferno is the most interesting book of the three, IMHO. It's missing the satire and political commentary of Dante, but that's ok.

If you aren't familiar with Dante, you'll still enjoy the book. But if you are, you'll really enjoy recognizing the references. Kind of like watching "O Brother! Where Art Thou" once you know it's based on The Odessy. I particularly liked the mob of accountants...

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

Loved this one

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

So, this was an interesting book for me. I found that I really quite enjoyed the retelling of Dante's Divine Comedy as a sci fi tale. The narration is really fitting for the story, in my opinion. Persephone Rose's over the top style really made this a fun listen. If you like a good sci fi story, you should check it out.
