Decent story well told

I wasn't captivated by the story nor was I bored or disinterested. Kafer does a great job. I like his narration even though he has limited voice range.

Top rate, original Apocalyptic thrill ride.

Great twist on the familiar 'End of the World' scenario to incorporate the Cthulhu Mythos. There are many of the familiar elements of post-apocalyptic fiction and clever nods towards some of the classics of the genre (A Boy and His Dog, the original Wasteland computer game etc.) The setting alone was satisfying in the way the author subverted those familiar tropes or played off them in a new way. Ultimately, the strength of the story comes down to the characters. All of them are multi-faceted, convincing without being too predictable. Tight plot that allows plenty of exploration of the characters and the aftermath of the rising of The Great Old Ones. In the end, the greatest evil on display is that of the human survivors of one group or another and the deals that they're willing to strike with dark forces for their survival and/or personal power.

It took me about half a chapter to acclimatise to the narrator but that's a common issue for me when listening to American narrators. After that, his performance faded into the background so I was hearing the characters and seeing the story. As far as I'm concerned, that's great narration.

Thoroughly recommended!

A slightly flawed masterpiece

Got totally sucked into the story and characters. The writing trips up now and again but its hardly an issue. An excellent blend of dystopian Mad Mad and HPL mythos.

“Save who I can, avenge the rest”

Everything Charles pens is great!
Everything Jeffrey narrates is great!
Charles AND Jeffrey together, well, it’s great!!
Really enjoyable story full of action and Charles’ usual dusting of wit and sarcasm and really well narrated by Jeffrey as usual!
Such a well-suited pairing!
This is my honest opinion of a free review.

Brilliant Post-Apocalyptic Cthulhu Action

Cthulhu Armageddon by C. T. Phipps is an insane amount of fun. It gets straight into the action and never lets up. It's full of great characters and there are loads of surprises along the way. I was gripped throughout.
You could easily enjoy this audiobook without knowing much about the Cthulhu Mythos, but if you're a fan you'll notice loads of cool references and nods to H. P. Lovecraft's epic creations.
Jeffrey Kafer does an excellent job with the narration. It was a pleasure to listen to.
Another absolute classic from the fine folk at Crossroad Press.
Highly recommended.
I'm going to download the second book straight away.
