Dharmayoddha Kalki: Avatar of Vishnu

Kalki Series, Book 1

By: Kevin Missal

Narrated by: Manish Dongardive

Born in the quiet village of Shambala, Kalki Hari, son of Vishnuyath and Sumati, has no idea about his heritage until he is pitted against tragedies and battles.

Whisked into the province of Keekatpur, which is under the fist of Lord Kali, Kalki sees the ignominy of death trumping life all around him. He learns that he has been born to cleanse the world he lives in, for which he must journey to the North and learn the ways of Lord Vishnu’s Avatar, from an immortal who wields an axe.

But trapped in the midst of betrayals, political intrigue and forces that seek to decimate him, will he be able to follow his destiny before the Kaliyug begins?

Hard to follow

Hard to follow partially due to narrator's accent. Jumps to dialogue with totally different characters with seemingly no ties to previous dialog. Character's names confusingly similar.

If only I could hear it.

The story might be really good, but it's very hard to follow as the narrator dips to a whisper. I was playing it in the car and even if I turned the volume all the way up, parts were just not audible. Ironic?

Good Story

The story and narration are very good, but the production is poor. The volume is sometimes inconsistent. There are periods of overlapping narration where it sounds like multiple people are reading at the same time, but at a different pace.

bad audio formatting

this book was fine. however the audiobook it self was a hot mess. many times the audio would get quiet to really loud. in many of the chapters there are literally 2 people talking at the same time. it made it very difficult to listen to at many points throughout the audiobook. the Book itself was great. Just wish the audio formatting was fixed. and no it wasn't a bad download since I un-installed and reinstalled 3 separate times on and off wifi.

Great Story

This story was a really good story. I can't wait to read part two. The only thing that bothered me was that sometimes things were repeated which seemed unnecessary because they were back to back. Also, there were times when there were two voices overlapping each other which made it difficult to listen to. Yet still, overall, I liked the story.
