Out of Hours

Oddjobs, Book 4

By: Heide Goody, Iain Grant

Narrated by: Matthew Lloyd Davies

Everyone is out of time....

Morag Murray is about to give birth to the Venislarn anti-Christ, and her baby is eager to be born. With only the possessed doll Steve the Destroyer to help her through her labors, she knows that when this child is born, the earth will face its final day.

Nina Seth is literally out of her own time. An evil sorceress is causing havoc in 18th-century England. With only Steve the Destroyer to help her prevent the premature end of the world, this clueless time-traveler has to save the past and find a way back to the present.

Vivian Grey is in hell - literally - and caught in a political conflict between warring Venislarn gods. With many human lives at stake, Vivian and Steve the Destroyer must join forces if they’re both to survive.

Rod Campbell knows that the world will end at midnight if he doesn’t rescue Morag from the secret organization that wants to use her as a pawn in its war against the Venislarn. The clock is ticking down to Judgement Day, and he hasn’t got a clue where she is.

One day and one night to save the world (again), and no one’s getting paid overtime.

Best characters have plenty of screen time

Yay! Nina is prominent in the story and Steve returns with a vengeance. If Nina & Steve do not make you laugh then you likely hate all good things and should go eat broken glass.

STEVE!!!

These get better every time! Honestly, this could be the new Discworld! Awesome reader and so funny!! Netflix needs to make this a series. Next!!

The world is Doomed! also please queue up

great book to tee up the end of the world, great voice work all around

Brill

I loved this book - I've read the previous books in this set. This one stood out among the rest.

It really pushed the main characters to overcome their biggest challenges, commanding respect from the reader and resetting traditional hero/villain roles.

This while set in (albeit disgusting) strange places and surrounded by strange monsters, and of course lathered in wit and humor.

The narrator is the same brilliant one as the previous books.

overall highly recommend, even as a stand alone

The best book in the series so far

I enjoyed the first three books, but this one was the best by far (so good I'm writing a review). I'm looking forward to book five and then starting other Goody and Grant series.

The least likely character has stepped up to save her friends and maybe the world too. It was great listening to her out think and out maneuver everyone, human or otherwise. Go, Nina!

This story would have only been half as good without Steve the Destroyer. I found myself enjoying and laughing at his antics.

And the book would have only been half as good without Matthew Lloyd Davies narrating. I have listened to other talented narrators, but I don't think there is anyone that could do a better job with this series. If you enjoy MLD, I recommend "Carpet Diem" by Justin Lee Anderson, which is a fun, irreverent story and currently included with your Audible membership.
