Resumen del Editor

Private eye Jake Sullivan is a war hero - and an ex-con. He's free because he has a magical talent, and the Feds need his help in apprehending criminals with their own magical abilities. Jake's talent is gravity spiking. He can vary the force of gravity however he wishes in an area. When it comes to spiking, Jake is the best.

Now a rich beauty walks into his office to hire Jake to find her missing husband, a magical healer who has ties to the Detroit mob. Jake takes the case, but little does he know that there are plots within plots waiting to ensnare him, and solving the case may require fighting for his life with the odds stacked against him. But Jake is used to that. And now it's Christmas. Time to deck the walls with splattered bodies!

Detroit Christmas is a richly imagined, fully produced audio play, with original music, film-quality sound effects, and an amazing cast.

Another great paranormal mystery!

Detroit Christmas
(Grimnoir Chronicles #0.5)
by Larry Correia
This is a short book but has plenty of the Correlation touch in it! Supernatural abilities, witty banter, this one had an old PI feel except the world has magic. A fun story that kept me interested and glad to have picked this book!

Cheesy but a good 1950s Radio show.

Full cast, sound effects people, and good dialogue. A couple of times the action was hard to follow, but still worth the listen.
Be aware the main character is voiced by a different reader. He is fine. You will get used to him quickly.

OK story, but what was up with the performance?

It was like they hired the cheapest voice actors they could find. Bad special effects and everything. Would have been better as just an audiobook versus a cheap radio play.

Gangster, magical firearms fun!

The title of this review says it all. If you like Larry Correia's other work, you will dig this story.

Good story, different energy

I'm accustomed to Jake being short on words and a heavy thinker. The story is very good but Jake is very chatty. Any fa. of Grimnoire should definitely check it out.

sound

like the story and characters however the background noises drownd out way too much words.

Really not a fan of cast performances

Am I the only one that finds the "full cast" acted audibles a little distracting and annoying? If you have a great performer who has mastery of their voice, then you don't need the extra sound effects and bumper music for the scene changes. And really, it seems like a travesty to NOT have Bronson Pinchot playing the voice of Jake Sullivan. It was just not the same.

Not as great as the rest of the Grimnoir series

This is a prequel to the series? It's not as good as the rest of the series, both in writing and in performance. But, still manages to be better than some recent Sci-Fi/Fantasy audio duds by other writers.

Very disappointing

A poor adaptation from a series normally full of detail and strong characterisation amongst it's cast, it's hard for me to decide where exactly this production misses it's mark.

Lackluster voice performances from most of the actors with poor sound design to convey action and provide background details that would otherwise be described in either a narration or internal monologue left me confused at times as to what was supposed to be happening until the action was already resolved.

As for the actual story it is concise and the proper length for a radio style drama piece, but a derivative plot and lack of content that would expand on the story of the Grimnoir series make this presentation a questionable purchase and even more questionable production.

All that being said it'll get you through an hour or so and can be entertaining in a mystery science theater sort of way but not something to waste a full credit on, just throw a few bucks at it if you absolutely have to have it. Instead use that credit to pick up one of the books from the actual series this presentation is based on; Hard Magic, Spellbound, and Warbound.
