Book 1 of the 5-Part Series: The Judas Files

It’s not what you think...

Hell is bone-chilling.

Meet Gabe: a good guy making the best of eternity in a place not known for its hospitality. That is, until he's recruited by Judas Iscariot (yes, that Judas) to join a covert team of double agents dedicated to thwarting the chaos unleashed on Earth.

Gabe, armed only with his quick wit and zero knowledge of the modern world, must navigate his new role alongside a beautiful, tough-as-nails partner. Together, they must prevent disaster without blowing their cover or revealing Gabe’s true identity.

If this unlikely hero can’t figure it out, facing Hell’s wrath will be the least of his worries…

Dive into The Nine, the first book in the action-packed, supernatural Judas Files urban fantasy series. If you love snarky characters, dark humor, and thrilling adventures (think Dresden Files meets the underworld), then you’ll be hooked.

Reminded me strongly of Sandman Slim but in a good way. Will continue with the series.

Short but satisfying

This was a nice escape with plenty of sarcastic humor, an interesting take on hell, and surprising levels of compassion for the context. The audio performance was excellent, too!

Fun, Fast, Adventurous Read!

I found myself listening to this rather than watching TV. I've already downloaded New Dominion. I can't wait to hear what happens next. MacLeod Andrews brought these fantastic characters to life, and I could nearly smell the durian fruit as he reacted to it. Great writing, great imagery, great performance!

Great book!

An intriguing (under)world. The Nine is a complex place full of treachery and danger. probably the most relatable protagonist I have encountered. It's as if Gabe was tailor made for Macleod's narrative style. This is NOT a Dresden clone, Harris stands alone with this gripping, hilarious and all too human story. The stage is set and I simply cannot wait for the next book in The Judas Files.

I skipped class to finish it

I had just finished the Sandman Slim series and Audible suggested this. The premise sounded interesting and Macleod Andrews is my favorite narrator/performer. This book was so much fun! I’m definitely going to listen to the whole series. It kept me interested, had lots of action without gore, comedy, a little flirtation, and just enough mystery to keep me hooked without giving it all away or leaving me baffled. Two enthusiastic thumbs up!

Really enjoyed the first book in this new series. Constant action, which keeps your attention. The author does a good job in character development, making us want to know more about their life before they died. I look forward to the next book in the series, and learning more about the world they live in. The narrator did a good job bringing these characters to life too.

Good action and adventure

This is the first in what I hope is a lengthy series about Hell resident Gabe and his adventures as an operative for the Judas Agency. With many clever twists and reimagining of apocalyptic characters and imagery, The Nine holds you attention from the first page with its wise-cracking main hero and cast of "colorful" characters. Rather than depressing or scary, as you might expect a book about Hell and the eternally damned to be, I laughed out loud during many of the passages. The book is a perfect blend of gritty thriller, heartwarming hidden hero, and dry humor. The narrator Andrews does an amazing job of bringing the characters and story to life. Highly recommended!

First of many, I hope!
