Publisher's summary
Time doesn’t work the way you think it does.
The year 2018: After a successful social-justice hack and a sexy night of celebrating, Micah arrives home to a gift left outside his apartment door. An axe that when touched causes Micah to lose time and allow other people to use his body. After one such event, Micah returns to his body, covered in blood and holding the axe, with police knocking on the door. Micah has to use his hacker skills to evade the police and a corporation hellbent on controlling the axe, all while unraveling the secrets of the gift.
The year 1810: In the woods of Western Canada, something is stalking and devouring people. Entire settlements have been abandoned, the residents missing. The people refer to the monsters as demons. Mehall, a demon-hunting nomad, has returned home, leaving a trail of dead demons behind her. By her hands and her tomahawk, she continues killing the creatures even as she begins having visions from the future.
The year 3015: The Circle, an oppressive governing religion, is trying to insight an AI genocide while also releasing a plague on the universe to control its people. Life is as normal as it can be for Miko, a social outcast and data broker. While on a routine data delivery gone bad, Miko is chased to the galaxies edge, where she is confronted by a mysterious ship that leads Miko on a mission to stop the Circle itself.
All three lives are more interconnected than they know. One thing wants them all dead: the Infection.
One thing binds them all together: the axe.

Story
After thousands of years, Cain awakens to find that the world has gone on without him. In his slumber, humans and people of power have stopped being afraid of, well, anything. Beyond that, they’ve become cruel for cruelty’s sake, fascinated with their ability to spread death through famine, war, and even plagues. In their minds, they have no equal. They’re wrong.

Story
There is a ghost penis monster and a giant hell spider in this book - you've been warned! In 1982, Moe killed a man while defending his son. The next day the man came back. In 1982, Moe went missing. The man continued to come back. In 2014, events are repeating themselves. In a race against time, reason and more time, Shane has to unwind mysteries of the past in order to save his friend Jason who has gone missing. Ugh...that sounds heavy. While all the above is true, this book also has a ghost dick monster.

Evil comes in many forms. For former soldier Gabriel Willis, it looks like a motorcade of SUVs storming his quiet neighborhood, shattering his hard-earned domestic bliss. His loving wife and children watch in horror as he is arrested and whisked away without explanation. Accused of terrorism and brutally tortured for information, Gabriel later learns that his family has been kidnapped and hidden away. The madman responsible hands him the arduous task of trekking to the mountains of Afghanistan to find famed archaeologist Othia Morgan and return with her - or his family will die.

My name is Ethan Drake, and I’m a police detective. And I got plenty darkness to give. So does my partner, who’s a demon, and frankly, a royal pain in my ass. But occult investigators are in short supply in the PD, so what are you going to do? Anyway, we just caught a bodysnatching case that has the stench of occult workings all over it.

This book involves Michael, Mahal and Renee K and they are all from very different lives and very different times yet all intertwined. This book is so good I can’t even begin to give you a summary as it would take up the whole review. Whoever wrote this well we know who wrote it Van Ness Baby is a genius. The genius. This book is so good it seems as if van ASB could make connections in an empty space he is so good this book is awesome the narrator is awesome all I could say is get this book I highly recommend it it’s one of the best books i’ve ever read. I received this book for free on story origin, but I’m giving this review voluntarily because it was that good so so good! This book involves Michael, Mahal

5/5
The Axe is the second book I've read by Vaughn Ashby. The Axe is a smart book with three interconnected characters and from different times. Nothing is as it seems and everything is connected. I like that this book makes you thing and connect dots and I enjoyed the quick glimpse into the other Vaughn Ashby book I've read.
I received this audiobook for free from StoryOrigin. This is my honest and voluntary review.

Fantastic Listening
I can honestly say while reading this book, I never knew what to expect next! Vaughn does a fantastic job at keeping his readers guessing at where the story goes, and then blows their mind completely when they get to that point. The story was a quick read but only because I couldn’t put the book down. I wanted to soak up every minute of it. Everything is perfect in this book, pace, timing, tone..Characters, just everything seemed to come together to form a fantastic novel. I received this audiobook review copy in exchange for my review. Sarah Sokol does a great job narrating.

sci-fi horror mind trip
This book is a time-travel sci-fi horror that has a rapid pace that will keep you guessing. -It is a mind trip. ---While part of the -Aurora -Wastelands, it can be read as a stand-alone.

Hey there is some pretty cool stuff in there!
I loved all of the different pieces of this book. Vaughn put it all together in a great way. He put all three different times together so well, all the different characters in many different situations. Loved it!

hits the ground running, good fast read
Book sped by. Three main characters linked by one artifact. Three different locales. A grand conspiracy. At first hectic, confusion and as story proceeded, it all came together. i received this book for free via story origin, but I’m giving this review voluntarily.
With the election, pandemic and just social media, my reading and podcasts have gotten shorter and shorter in length. This book has gotten me reengaged into long form and I look forward to another novel by Mr. Ashby.

Baskerville Book ReviewsThe most compelling thing
The most compelling thing about The Axe is the concept. In execution, it felt all over the place as it jumped from one character’s perspective to another.
It’s the third book in the Aurora Wasteland literary universe that I’ve read and it’s the one I enjoy the least. While they all work as standalone novels, the other two had subtle nods and similarities that made it clear they were from the same universe. While The Axe had very little of that. More than anything, it left me confused over how it fits into the world.
I went into this book excited, after having listened to Tethered and Brightness Falls. While this book was enjoyable overall, it really didn’t capture my attention like the other two did.
The narration was excellent, the narrator made all of the characters feel alive and real. There weren’t any Audible hiccups which is always a nice thing.
Overall, I recommend the book, but it’s nothing overly special.
NOTE: This copy was provided to me free of charge as a digital review copy. The opinions stated in this review are mine and mine alone, I was not paid or requested to give this book a certain rating, suggestion, or approval.

The Axe
Don't let the cover fool you into thinking this is a horror novel (like I did), because it isn't. Instead, it is a cyberpunk/sci-fi time warp trip.
It starts out with three main characters from three different time periods, all interconnected by an axe. This axe appears to take control of the user/owner and its purpose is to kill "the infected". But, who is in control? What is the infection? What is true and what is a horrible nightmare?
I admit to getting lost in all the time jumps and different iterations of some of the characters. Since each of them seem to be able to jump from body to body, it was hard trying to keep track of the story. Even after listening to the whole book, I'm still not sure what I read or what the end result of the story actually was. There was a lot of technical/cyberpunk type stuff in a lot of the book (which also lost me along the way).
The narrator did a good job and kept me listening. I was given the chance to listen to the audiobook version through Story Origins and chose to review it.
