Cities Fall. Dragons Rise. War Begins.
The war for earth began in Hell. After earthquakes, plague and floods, the creatures of our nightmares boiled forth to sweep across the planet in a wave of death.On the run and unprepared, mankind is not alone. We have dragon allies, awakened by the attacks and ready to fight.
Emerging from ancient hiding places, the dragons strike back at legions of demons that attack on the night of every new moon. The Killing Moon is the proving ground for warriors of skill and heart, but there are too few left with each passing battle.
Among the riders is Saavin, a brave young woman from the shattered remains of Texas. Her dragon, Banshee, is swift and fearless, but they'll need help to defend the last human city.
With the skills of a warrior named French, Banshee and Saavin will launch a desperate defense against the legions of hell.
They have demons. We have dragons.
Join the fight, and fly to victory with Banshee.
Customer Reviews
I applaud Maggert for doing something unexpected and unusual
As you may know post-apocalyptic audiobooks with or without zombies, but especially with, are all the rage or maybe they are just getting more coverage these days. Terry Maggert has decided to jump in the flow of the raging river of destruction of the earth and human perseverance. Yet he was able to spin it in a way that I have not seen before. No zombies. Instead dragons and demons. Sounds so exciting right!
Demons rise from the bowels of hell destroying all that humanity has built. Then, as if that wasn’t enough, dragons rise from their hiding places to help defend humanity. We are told various eye witness accounts in documentary style throughout the story. Giving a great insight into the war that ensued that the characters along would not have given us. While it was fascinating that Maggert ventured into the biology of the life that was left in the world, I found it tedious at times. Even though I loved that idea of what life became.
Even though it has been a long long time since I read anything from the world of Pernn, a place that Maggert obviously has a more recent experience with. He was able to pay homage to the classic while creating something of his own. Because in its simplest form here we have the Dragon Rides of Pernn fighting hell on earth.
I applaud Maggert for doing something unexpected and unusual while keep some basic familiarity. If you have become board with all of the similar apocalyptic stories out there, Banshee could be quite refreshing to you. If all you want is a dark fantasy, you will find that here as well.
This was my first time listening to Henry McNulty. He has a very deep voice and a fast speaking pace. I found it difficult at times to follow what he was saying because of the speed that he was going. Do you know what I mean when I say that certain narrators connect with the listeners? Well, unfortunately MCnulty and I did not connect. When I do not connect to a narrator, my mind wonders and my attention fades. However, he has some great characterizations that really helped immerse me into the fantastical world that Maggert created.
