About this listen

Drafted into a private army, he must fight monsters or be hunted as one....

A century after the Break destroyed much of the world, the wealthy island nation of Dios stands alone as a paradise for those that remain...so long as they aren’t poor and homeless.

For street orphan Grant Riven, life is a series of kicks in the face. Until exposure to a powerful mutating agent gives him super strength, passive-regeneration, and the ability to use powerful weapons.

The downside? Lots of other people have mutated as well, except they’re insane and want to eat everyone.

After he’s recruited by Cloud Nine Engineering, the most powerful corporation in Dios, Grant is labeled “Hallowed” - the fancy name for his new mutation - and drafted into a war against the Mutes, the cannibalistic mutants overrunning Dios.

The deal is simple. In exchange for risking his life to fight monsters, Cloud Nine will provide him with the cure that keeps him from becoming a monster himself.

Experience the start of a pulse-pounding military sci-fi series, set in a post-apocalyptic world, from T.E. Bakutis. It's perfect for fans of Nicholas Sansbury Smith, T.W. Piperbrook, and Bobby Adair.

"You look good for a dead man."

2322. In Dios, Grant Riven, orphaned aged ten six years ago, has grown up dependant on his own abilities to survive until recruited as an Hallowed, his physical form altered, it was believed, by panacea, giving him both super strengths and the power for bodily regeneration after injury. He was one of the lucky ones. Most of those infected mutated into monsters. The powerful Cloud Nine Engineering wanted him and others like him, to defend their world against these Mutes.

Following Grant through his training, friendships and missions, The Hallowed War is the first book in a new series filled with near non stop fight action, with a touch of humour, conspiratorial twist and fair character development - enough to make Grant's progress important to the reader. It is a good start, more a four star than a five, enhanced by the excellent performance by Garrett Michael Brown, whose narration injects excitement into the text delivery as well as individually voicing each of the protagonists.

An enjoyable read for fans of military science fiction, the story complete but with the set-up for a following volume established.
