What to expect

NEVER LOOK BACK

Alex Verus is a diviner who can see probable futures - a talent that's gotten him and his friends out of many a tough scrape. But what happens when someone doesn't want Alex's help?

Alex's friend, the life mage Anne, distanced herself from him when she found out about his past as a Dark apprentice. Now she's in serious trouble, but wants nothing to do with him. Alex has to start wondering if Anne's problem is really with him - or if there's a secret she's trying to hide.

On top of that, rumours are swirling around London that Alex's former master may be back in town. Alex has no idea what his agenda may be, or who it involves . . .

Critics Review

Harry Dresden would like Alex Verus tremendously - and be a little nervous around him. I just added Benedict Jacka to my must-read list
Jim Butcher
Jacka writes a deft thrill-ride of an urban fantasy - a stay-up-all-night read. Alex Verus is a very smart man surviving in a very dangerous world
Patricia Briggs
London's hidden wizardly community spell-blast each other entertainingly in this urban fantasy romp. Fated is highly enjoyable
Sun
Filled with tense and compelling writing
SFX
Whoop-ass excitment from the new master of magical London
Charles Stross

Great plot, I'm getting to know the characters in the series well now. It is read well by the single voice actor. I really hate audiobooks read by multiple narrator.
If the folks at xigxag are reading.... Could you compress the audio (data wise) less hard or give the files more space to grow because the mpeg artifacts are very irritating. You know, the warbling sound effect on the treble that results from a too wide audio frequency range vs too low data rate. You can buy a Samsung with 63Gb memory and a 512Gb microSD card for about 200 squid. It wouldn't be a problem each each book was a gig or even half a gigabyte in size. Thanks..
