Limbus, Inc., Book III

By: Jonathan Maberry, Laird Barron, Seanan McGuire, David Liss, Keith R.A. DeCandido

Narrated by: David Stifel

The Limbus saga continues with five more stories of horror, science fiction, and fantasy from some of the industry's brightest stars - Jonathan Maberry, Seanan McGuire, Keith R.A. DeCandido, Laird Barron and David Liss.

Thomas Malone thought he'd seen it all during his 25 years in the Birmingham homicide division. But then they found the body of a woman suspended above the opening of the mineshaft known as the Vertical, blood dripping into the chasm below. At the bottom of that shaft, two clues - a typed manuscript and a business card, blank but for a name on the front and a single sentence on the back. Malone couldn't know that those two enigmatic items would lead him on a manhunt around the world, on the trail of a murderer and an organization of myth and legend. But he shouldn't have been surprised. The business card said it all. Limbus, Inc. How lucky do you feel?

okay

it was a good book until the end then it was like they threw together all the leftover stuff and that ruined the book at least for me I kind of got lost at the end it just a drag to finish

Good book, narration was lacking

The good: I really enjoyed the stories, all were well written.

The bad: Narration was not great. Many sections ran together with almost no break point between stories or sections. Voice acting was fair, minor variations with voices during character interactions but you had to be paying close attention.

The ugly: A plethora of words mispronounced. Phrases from other books were spoken completely different, causing me to pause to research the page in the book so I could figure out what it was supposed to be. Author name was mispronounced in closing credits.

not bad but not the best

overall a good book, I think my only complaint is the performance could have been much better. I felt like the reader lacked a bit in his portrayal of some of the characters. I went most of a story not knowing the lead was a female.

another home run in the series

so let me first say I'm never going to not pick up a business card again... came to these stories for Me. Maberry's contribution and more than pleasantly surprised by the other authors. shared universe compilations always work well for me and this one is perfect. my only comment would be that the change in narrator for the third book threw me off a bit, very monotone but I got used to it. I sincerely hope there's a fourth one coming

3rd time wasn't a charm...

A lackluster end to an otherwise great trilogy. The only stand out was Maberry's continued story of Sam the werewolf. That would be a great series in itself.
