Publisher's summary

With the Japanese Imperium at war with the Soviet Union, and the United States watching cautiously on the sidelines, Second Lieutenant Joe Sullivan of the U.S. Marines is sent on a dangerous mission to Tokyo. The Russians have Summoned a demon of epic proportions to attack the city, and all that stands in its deadly path is an untested Japanese super-robot. Now, Joe is at the controls, his gravity-spiking Power at the ready. But that is one huge, mean Demon....

Why do you keep Teasing

Where does Tokyo Raider rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Its not really a book, its more like a chapter. It belongs to the Grimnoir Chronicles series. It provides a interesting glimpse of were the series is going.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Tokyo Raider?

When Sullivan is powering the giant robot. I love the humor in the story, as always Pinchot's voice delivers the humor.

Have you listened to any of Bronson Pinchot’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

He is brilliant. He is my all time favourite Narrator.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes

Any additional comments?

Read the Grimnoir Series, and you will believe in Magic.

Another great addition to the Gromnoir Chronicles!

Loved it and my only complaint I sit was way too short. Another excellent performance by Bronson Pinchot!

So short! Wish there was more 😝

Title says it all! Perfect performance and a wonderful snippet into the future of the Grimnoir universe.

Great Short Story

Not quite a Grimnoir story. Very good but also very short. Hopefully we will get to see the protagonist in another story

Fun story. Made me think of Gozilla stories

It was fine. I skipped the stories in betw÷even #2 & this one, so some stuff was odd sounding

I dont usually audio but I loved it.

Really fun story, I love the Grimnoir books. Anyone who loved Monster Hunter, you will like this, and if you didnt, you will still likely love grimnoir.

Larry decides to write a Kaiju Story!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Why wouldn't you recommend this book to a friend? This continues in the fantastic grimnoir world, and expands on the characters you have grown attached to.

What other book might you compare Tokyo Raider to and why?

Well if you're here you should have already read Hard Magic, Spellbound, and Warbound. If you haven't read those 3 yet, do not pass go, do not collect $200 and send yourself back to Hard Magic. If you want a recommendation outside of the Grimnoir world, I would say Fated from the Alex Verus series. The battle details are not as rich, but it's equally as funny and sarcastic.

What does Bronson Pinchot bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Bronson does a really good job of giving the characters well uniqueness. Thus I am able to tell from the tone in his voice, who is speaking without him having to do the "said Joe".

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It was a fast paced romp through giant robot vs. giant demon lizard. A little like Pacific Rim crosses into the Grimnoir world. To say it was fun is an understatement. It was a wild romp. I can only hope Larry decides to write another full Grimnoir trilogy.

Any additional comments?

Larry? are you reading this? it was awesome. We want more.
