Resumen del Editor

A group of mercenaries on an unsanctioned mission survives a plane crash in whiteout conditions in the Tian Shan mountains. The men are accustomed to danger. Now they’re growing accustomed to fear.

Team leader Liev and his band of survivors are stranded in the bitter winds with little hope of rescue—or outlasting the wolves that have scented blood. In the distance is the apparent sanctuary of an abandoned stone fortress. That an ancient bulwark even exists on this forsaken summit is beyond comprehension. So is what lies on the other side of its walls.

From Academy Award–winning filmmaker Guillermo del Toro comes Falling Down, chapter one of The Boy in the Iron Box, a blood-chilling serialized novel about an ancient secret that was never meant to be unleashed, featuring exclusive interior artwork. Each chapter can be read or listened to in one breathless sitting.

I could not tell the correct order of these episodes and ended up listening to them backwards.

I did not like that these episodes did not say the order they should be listened to.

Interesting Choices

Good story, I'm, enjoying the atmosphere and mystery, but as much as I love Ralph Ineson's work as an actor his voice is too deep to understand at times.

3.5-4 stars so far

Good setup, I liked the descriptions and details. I wasn’t sure how I felt about the narrator at first, but I do like him. Interested in the rest of the story for sure,

Very Interested!

Though I was concerned with the depth and tone of our narrator, it took nothing away from what sounds to be a very interesting tale.

Let down by unique but hard to understand narrator

Agreed with everyone complaining about the narrator. I guess I can see how his voice creates a unique atmosphere for a series like this, but it's also simply hard to understand esp if you're playing it on speaker.

I don't think it's worth sacrificing clarity for ~vibes.

Excellent-with some tweaks

Like another reviewer-I had a very hard time understanding the narrator. He’s got an incredibly deep voice and it buzzes when I play through my phone. I upped the playback speed to 1.2x, and put headphones in with “speech” equalizer and it made all the difference. Now that I can understand the narration-the story is good-it’s an easy listen and fast paced. I actually find the narrator compliments the story, as he has a flat affect, which lends to the bleak feel of the story. I’m on book 3 now, and I’m happy I pushed through!

Rough narration

narrator was way to hard to understand. story was interesting enough to continue but I won't be getting the audiobook because this is awful to listen to.

Falling Down: Boy In The Box Series

Dislike-hard to listen too and understand, voice to deep. Unable too enjoy the audiobook.

Great start

the narration is not good the guy's voice is super deep and it's really hard to understand other than that it's a great start to another horror Thriller from two masters

Not for ME

I can say this is definitely not for me. It didn't do anything for me. I hope that others enjoy it.
