Jeff Hays Soundbooth Theater
Lee is a quiet and unassuming office worker who leads a life of solitude, comfort, and routine. Day in and day out, he shuts off his brain, keeps his head down, and goes about doing his job and minding his own business. That is, he does until a drunken god shows up randomly one day and whisks him off into another world, demanding that Lee serve as his pawn in a game between the gods. Now, trapped in a completely different world full of danger, magic, and creatures he's never imagined outside of fairy tales and video games, Lee has to figure out how to stay alive long enough to make it back home.
Soundbooth Theater dives into another instant RPG Gamelit classic in War Aeturnus. With this piece of reverent comedy and philosophy about the role of belief in our modern times, Charles Dean has filled a void in the world of Gamelit by creating a Candide for the genre. Not only will Lee's exploits with his psychotic sidekick, Miller, make listeners laugh and spit out their Mountain Dew, it may even convince them to get off the couch for a little while and explore the world outside of video games and fantasy.

Do you have any additional comments?
It was one of those novels that I really wanted to love but settled with a liking. It had all the special ingredients. An unlikely hero, a justice seeking bloodthirsty barbarian, even a love interest or two. Heck the meddling gods were just about as awesome as could be described.But it just didn't come together in the way I would have loved. Let me say it was a very good listen. I actually went through Jeff Hayes new novels to find this one and bought it on the spot. He never lets me down with his narrations.
The problem was the disconnect with the story and the main character. He was such an unlikely hero that he didn't want to be there. There were moments he would spring into action and make it seem like he could become better than himself, say like a hero should. But then wham I do not want to be a hero I wanna go home. And that really left a bitter taste in the mouth sometimes.
Without spoilers more than I already have alluded to I gotta say it does redeem itself in the later stage of the novel. He grows up, character growth is really important and maybe I'm just so used to clear concise goals that this novel left me a little off.
I will of course get the next book when it comes out to audible. It was by no means bad it just wasn't a shining beacon,, I have a feeling the next book the hero will be the hero I thought he could be from the beginning.
Liked it but didn't love it

I enjoyed the characters, the situation, and Jeff Hays's amazing voice acting. I can't recommend this audiobook enough. Looking forward to the upcoming sequel.
