About this listen
It has been a year since John Henry Booth's exile from New America and the fall of the Black Cathedral. Cursed with a slow transformation into a monster, he has begun a doomed relationship with fellow escapee Mercury Halsey as they seek some way to arrest his transformation.
Dubious hope arrives in the form of the University, the deranged scientists and cultists descended from the staff of Miskatonic University. Except their offer of help comes at a price. Having sold themselves to ancient aliens called the Yith, they wish John and Mercury to join a group of rogues in hunting down a wayward member of their faculty: a man who intends to release the last of the sleeping Great Old Ones on an already ravaged planet. If they're telling the truth, John and Mercury will be heroes. If.
The Tower of Zhaal is the second novel of the Cthulhu Armageddon series, a post-apocalyptic continuation of H.P. Lovecraft's popular Cthulhu Mythos.

This book improves on the first one
Once again the breath of CT Phipps genres impressed me. In the majority of his other books there is a strong comedic slant but this series is a dark. It’s post apocalyptic western with ancient space gods, and while that sounds preposterous it works well.
This book follows on from the original Cthulhu Armageddon. John Henry Booth gets dragged into a new confrontation that could lead to the end of humanity. However, humans aren’t the only race on earth, and they weren’t there first either. There’s a constant interplay between the different species and in my opinion humans aren’t a shining example. Humans, even on the precipice of extinction exhibit a frustrating amount of jingoism against their fellow man. While this is a fantasy story, this underlying attitude in the characters around Booth makes it feel real (and a little sad about the nature of humanity).
The narrator is great as always.

“I’m not afraid you’ll go crazy, I’m afraid you’ll go sane!”
With Mr Phipps at the helm you can’t go wrong! He’s such a great writer, coming up with stuff that you’d just never dream of and when he adds in his flavour of wit and sarcasm, you know it’s going to be good!
He also has great taste in his narrators and Jeffrey does a brilliant job telling his story. Is he an actor with unique accents and voices for every character; no, but what he does bring to the table is even better. He’s got an amazing storytelling voice that pulls you into the story with great pacing for the different levels of drama Charles throws at you.
If you liked this, then you’ll simply LOVE Charles’ Supervilliany series. Go buy it!!
This is my honest opinion on a free review copy.

Another Glorious Post-Apocalyptic Cthulhu Tale
I downloaded C. T. Phipps' The Tower of Zhaal as soon as I finished the previous book, Cthulhu Armageddon. Phipps has created such a brilliant world with these two books. There are loads of great characters and situations and a welcome mix of humour. The two Cthulhu Armageddon novels are my favourite Lovecraft inspired works since Brian Lumley's Titus Crow series.
Jeffrey Kafer's narration is one again absolutely brilliant. His delivery is perfect for the main character.
Another glorious Crossroad Press release.
Highly recommended.

Absolutely Epic
Damn I thought the first book was very dark, but author C.T. Phipps was only easing us in and getting us ready for this horrorfest sequel, wow and what a superb sequel it was to Cthulhu Armageddon. The Towel Of Zhaal, finds our John Henry Booth (science fiction and fantasy's Clint Eastwood) his girlfriend Mercury and gang of misfits battling to save the world against alien gods. Appearances by a Hound of Tindalos, The Unimaginable Horror of Animated Ghouls and the legend that is the Cthulhu finally makes an appearance. John Henry Booth and Mercury's quest is to rid the planet of a destructive force that has been imprisoned for millennia and, if released, could destroy all life on the planet. But will they and their band survive the horrors they face in getting there. Absolutely brilliantly fast paced, action packed, gore ridden and just a good oul fantastic read, I really hope there is a third book. The narration by Jeffrey Kafer is excellent and I couldn't imagine anyone else narrating, I highly recommend...😁🐙🔥
