About this listen

The Book of Koli: Booktrack Edition adds an immersive musical soundtrack to your audiobook listening experience! *

"A captivating start to what promises to be an epic post-apocalyptic fable" (Kirkus), The Book of Koli is the unforgettable story of a young boy struggling to find his place in a world where nature itself has turned against humanity.

Everything that lives hates us...

Beyond the walls of the small village of Mythen Rood lies an unrecognizable landscape. A place where overgrown forests are filled with choker trees and deadly seeds that will kill you where you stand. And if they don't get you, one of the dangerous shunned men will.

Koli has lived in Mythen Rood his entire life. He believes the first rule of survival is that you don't venture too far beyond the walls.

He's wrong.

*Booktrack is an immersive format that pairs traditional audiobook narration to complementary music. The tempo and rhythm of the score are in perfect harmony with the action and characters throughout the audiobook. Gently playing in the background, the music never overpowers or distracts from the narration, so listeners can enjoy every minute. When you purchase this Booktrack edition, you receive the exact narration as the traditional audiobook available, with the addition of music throughout.

Critic reviews

"This is a beautiful book. Gripping, engaging, and absolutely worth the time it takes to burrow yourself into its reality. I can't recommend it highly enough."—Seanan McGuire on The Book of Koli
"Deeply humanistic, and full of lush characterization and worldbuilding...what a glorious beginning [The Book of Koli] is. M.R. Carey hefts astonishing storytelling power with plainspoken language, heartbreaking choices, and sincerity like an arrow to the heart. The Book of Koli is one of the best books I expect to read this year."
Locus on The Book of Koli
"A captivating start to what promises to be an epic post-apocalyptic fable. Narrator Koli's inquisitive mind and kind heart make him the perfect guide to Carey's immersive, impeccably rendered world."—Kirkus on The Book of Koli

this is an amazing story, amazing narrator. I've got 4 books that I've currently started, but none of them grab me. just listen to the sample. it's poetic, it's exciting, it's great. this will be one of the few stand outs in my 6 years of audible. can't believe there are only 5 other reviews in this edition. the music really sets the mood. this is my first book track edition, reminds of of the audible productions that include sounds effects. I love love love the additional complimentary sounds, it's like listening to a movie. sad to look up book track and find they shut down on 2019. I don't write reviews, and I haven't even finished the book, but only 5 reviews, I had to put my 2 cents. will be getting the second book in the trilogy, but missing the book track music backing sadly. great story, great narrator, can't recommend enough. this will be a repeat listen for me.

just get it

the character has a deep human side both innocent and guilty in ways we can all identify with. great story and great narrator!

Koli has real soul

I loved the book track feature it immersed me in the story on another level. My only complaint is the voice performer's female characters were hard to read as female. Other than that very minor grievance the performance was great and the story was rich and consuming.

Unusual and exceptional!
