Novella in ice
Cursed relics. Paranormal terrorists. Apocalyptic cults. Only one man stands between the agents of darkness... After his fiancée is slain by a murderous cult, Delta Force Operator Mark Talon dedicates himself to a new mission - hunting down twisted occultists around the globe and stopping them before they can unleash the forces of darkness upon an unsuspecting world. In Ice Shadows, Talon must head to Norway to stop a Black Metal musician who plans on using an ancient Norse ritual to trigger a frozen cataclysm. Occult Assassin: Ice Shadows is a novella and tells a self-contained Mark Talon adventure set after Damnation Code and Apocalypse Soldier. The story works both as an introduction to the series and a continuation of the previous full-length volumes. No plot points or twists of the first book are given away.
This novella was well written, but, since it intended as an introduction to the series, I will refrain from making premature observations until I have read at least the first book, which, at some point I will do, although from what I did read, I suspect that the treatment of the occult is simplistic and shallow. However, I could be, and hope I am, wrong about this.
There were definitely some positive elements in this novella, however. The writing is very good stylistically, and the story telling is also excellent and engaging. While I didn’t see enough of the characters to get a real sense of them, their development in the story, especially that of the main character, were quite competently done.
The narration was excellent and extremely professional in all aspects. I give this novella 3 out of 5 stars, and the narrator 4 out of 5 stars.

Book 2.5
Any additional comments?
Occult Assassin is another winner from the talented William Massa. This time, the hero is ex-Delta Force Operator and assassin, Mark Talon, a sort of tough guy character. After suffering the loss of the love of his life, he is driven to hunt down megalomaniac occultists, with their own vision of a world filled with darkness. Great audiobook

Mayhem in the Black Metal Community
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I definitely would. It was fast paced and high excitement with a great performance.
What did you like best about this story?
I liked the villains potentially because I have always been a fan of metal music and it was interesting seeing them in this portrayal.
Which character – as performed by James Foster – was your favorite?
Talon, because after two books and one novella listened to by him his voice is that of Talon.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Beware your Frosty Demise!

Book Shadows
Loved the past books, don't hate this! Occult Assassin #2.5: Ice Shadows is a short Occult Assassin book. Therefore 2,5. It is 1 hr and 39 mins long. So this is a short. William Massa is given you what he can during the 1 hr and 39 mins.
James Foster is as always good. He shows great voice control while the tension of the storyline builds. His voice is as always helping us into the story. He is as alwys one of the best thing with this series.

Great short addition to the series!
I was given this title by the narrator in return for an honest review through Audiobookblast dot com. Ok, legalese done. This is a great short addition to the series. The action was full out, with a suspenseful plot that just kept charging. the continuing story and fleshing out of the occult baddies continue, as does out hero's evolution into a fixer of occult wrongs. James Foster's narration was great as always, bringing the story to life. Any fan of Heath Stallcup's Monster Squad or Evan Currie's Seal Team 13 books will enjoy this series.

I was impressed by this novella.
I was a bit surprised at how well developed the plot and characters were in this novella. Despite it's short length, it packs a lot of punch: plenty of action, plot, and character development. It's fast paced and flows very well. The dialogue felt quite natural. I was very impressed.
I thought James Foster did an impressive job. His characters were unique and - at least to my untrained ears - the accents sounded legitimate and not overly exaggerated. His narration speed was very good.

William Massa has one heck of an imagination
If you have listened to the first two books in this series, Damnation Code and Apocalypse Solider, them the decision to listen to this short novella is a no brainer. I mean why wouldn’t you want to hear more about the missions of Mark Talon?
William Massa has one heck of an imagination. I mean weaponized death metal, really? This is what Talon finds himself, on this international adventure, against here. The lead man for the band has acquired enough ancient runes to trigger a frozen armageddon.
Massa does a great job of bringing us up to speed with the main characters, probably not really needed, I think it was just in case for some reason you decided to start listening with this one. I enjoyed learning more about the man that has been pulling Talons strings, so to speak.
If you have been humming and hawing about whether or not to get into this series of fast paced military paranormal mayhem and destruction. Ice Shadows could be the audiobook you have been waiting for. It gives you a taste of what you can expect in the rest of the series.
If you haven’t, and I don’t know what rock you have been hiding under, listened to any of James Foster‘s work, you need to do it. Now. Because he will speak to you like very few others can. Making you believe that, even though Talon in a military special forces guy, he is also just a regular dude. This is Foster’s strength. Making characters seem approachable no matter how baffling their situation might be.
Now I have no idea what a Norwegian accent sounds like, and I think this is the first of any accents I have heard from Foster. It was believable to me. If it is wrong at least he gave it a shot and didn’t back down.

I can't get enough of these stories!

I was excited to see another installment of the Occult Assassin and I wasn't disappointed. This time our favorite skeptic finds himself in Norway receiving a chilly reception from the local occult nut balls. Good times.
I can't wait for the next one!

Best addition to the series yet!
What does James Foster bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
James Foster is an excellent narrator that adds an extra dimension to the listening experience. Reading the book alone wouldn't be nearly as enjoyable, for me.
Any additional comments?
I have really enjoyed this entire series, but I didn't enjoy book 2 as much as the first. Book 2.5 was excellent! It changed the landscape and the author did a great job of making me feel like I was at the location.
