About this listen

Angels and giants and beasties. Oh my.

In life, Dean Robinson was a soldier. Upon his untimely death at the hands of a fallen angel with a serious superiority complex and snappy wardrobe, he became something else.

Not quite divine but no longer human, Dean was unwillingly thrust into the prophetic pinnacle of a timeless battle raging in the shadows of the Earth and the Heavens in which he and his newfound gang of arcane sidekicks might be the only thing standing between mankind and an incursion of otherworldly giants. No pressure…

With heart-pounding action, laugh-out-loud dialogue, and a mind-bending mash-up of mythology and apocryphal lore, Rise of the Giants is a thrilling urban fantasy romp through a world where legends come to life, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. From the backstreets of Boston to the nether regions of Heaven and beyond, join the wise-cracking misadventures filled with magic, destiny, and a whole lot of beer.

And, as always, the Devil's in the details.

STEVE GILMORE is a graduate of West Point with an overactive imagination and an affinity for snarky anti-heroes. His urban fantasy adventure novels are a distinctive blend of military grit and apocryphal lore that have been enjoyed by fans around the world. His books are recommended for listeners who enjoy Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files, Kevin Hearne’s Iron Druid, or Steve McHugh’s Hellequin Chronicles.

Story was great with lots of potential. Storyline was very slow moving and the MC was likeable but started out as military but slowly moved to snarky comedian. Some parts of the other characters we don't know full background like the leader of the Deacons Stephen. Story has a lot of ways to go... hope the second book closes some loops without the world being destroyed

good start with good storyline

I just found this author and wow was it a great story! Well written, engaging and while I frequently don’t care for first person storytelling it absolutely worked here.

This was my first audio book and it surpassed my expectations! These books were so good when i first read them but listening to them just took them to new heights. Gilmore did an amazing job painting a vivid picture while the Arthur's portrayal of the different characters made this story come to life!
I can't wait to hear more from Gilmore and I hope he can land Jeremy Arthur to narrate the rest of his books.

Fantastic story!
