The narration of this novel is done by Armen Taylor. This was an awesome performance and Taylor knocked this novel out of the park with his powerful voice.
The story of this novel started with a betrayed spy who turned with time into a noob hero. He was betrayed by all those who were quite close to him. Finn thought that he has managed to escape from his life of deception and violence. But then a frantic message coming from his estranged sister changed everything as it drew him into The Realms. It was believed to be the most advanced and sophisticated holographic reality game in the world. Finn was pushed hard against his will for embracing all of his deadly skills one more time. This was the time when he became Gryph, the warrior mage while being armed with Godhead, the mysterious artifact.
The book is excellent with its writing and performance both. You will be excited to experience such a grand opening to the series.
