Publisher's summary
For 10 years Kal Hakala has been the Bureau of Supernatural Investigation's top man, the longest surviving agent in its blood-soaked history. The World At Large has no idea that The World Under exists. And its vampires, demons, zombies, and mythic monsters are growing increasingly restless. In all Kal's time with the Bureau, there has been no case he couldn't crack, no monster he couldn't kill.
Then a plague of zombies comes to Denver, along with a vicious serial killer dubbed The Organ Donor. A childhood encounter with a legendary monster has left Kal with an endless supply of rage and hatred for all things Supernatural. But now the target is on his forehead, and the Un-Dead don't die easy. The Bureau has a few aces of its own-a few magicians, a cyber-ghost. Unfortunately Kal is a perennial loner.... And the World Under is wise to his tricks.

It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Story
Three months ago, Tansy Bloom quit monster hunting. Since then, she’s been trying to live a normal life (whatever that means), but ending up single, unemployed, and living on a boat outside her godfather’s pub definitely wasn’t part of the plan. So, when Tansy’s ex-husband – fellow monster hunter Rex Barclay – turns up like a bad penny and asks for her help with his latest investigation, Tansy reluctantly agrees. At first, the job appears to be a straightforward monster hunt – following a spate of large creature sightings, Rex believes a werewolf is on the loose in Norfolk.

Meet Jessica Jones: retired superhero, private investigator, loner. She tried her best to be a shiny spandex crimefighter, but that life only led to unspeakable trauma. Now she avoids that world altogether and works on surviving day-to-day in Hell’s Kitchen, New York. The morning a distraught mother comes into her office, Jessica would prefer to nurse her hangover and try to forget last night’s poor choices.

Story
Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Pretty Good Listen
Would you listen to Things to Do in Denver When You're Un-Dead again? Why?
Maybe. I'll probably get throught the rest of the series first.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
Really liked the backdrop to the story. Took a while for it to unfold, and not real sure about how it will all end, but it was unusual and interesting.
Have you listened to any of Damon Abdallah’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Really enjoyed DA's performance. I thought he was perfect for this book.
Any additional comments?
The book started out slow IMO, but after it picked up, I thought the author did a fantastic job of tying a pretty good story with really good characters all together.

very, very enjoyable. a great listen
I loved this book! Perfectly narrated (more from mr Abdallah, please) and a great story. Couldn't fault it in any way. This is what Audible should be about.
Am eagerly awaiting the rest in the series. Glad I have discovered such a good author and narrator. A fantastic pairing.

Damn good urban fantasy!
Would you listen to Things to Do in Denver When You're Un-Dead again? Why?
Yes, I'll listen to it again in a year or so. This is a great series with plenty of action and characters that are 3 dimensional. These books remind me a lot of the "Monster Hunter International" series except there not quite on the same level as "MHI" but I think that's due to length of the book. Larry Correia's "MHI" series has more time to expand on his character development. Having said that this is still a very well written entertaining book. I guess it's what you might call a "fun" or "beach" book. If you're a fan of "MHI" then definitely get this book! I don't think you'll be disappointed. Hopefully Audible.com will release the other books in the "Files from the BSI" series soon.
What other book might you compare Things to Do in Denver When You're Un-Dead to and why?
As I stated above, I compare this book a lot to the "Monster Hunter International" series. See above for explanation why.
Which character – as performed by Damon Abdallah – was your favorite?
That's easy, the main character, Kal Hakala. Dude's a serious badass and he's got style too! If Kal Hakala was a chick I'd probably screw him!
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
I wouldn't use a tagline for this movie because it would probably sound stupid. Okay, screw it, how'bout, "There are things that go bump in the night, were the the people that bump back!" I know, stupid, right. And yes, I stole that line from the movie "Hellboy"
Any additional comments?
No, damn it.

Every Cliché in the Book
The author took every trite phrase and character/plot trope and threw them into a blender. This came out.
I got through the 1st hour by counting the clichés; after that, I just stopped listening. Don't bother.

Not a Good Book
The summary of the book makes it seem like a lighthearted version of Monster Hunter International or the Joe Ledger Series. It's more like an amateur version. The characters are not particularly likeable. The antagonist is barely memorable. The story is OK but doesnt go in depth. Unlike the Joe Ledger series, the martial arts is not believable, and the science is not well researched. It's the kind of effort that would get a C+ in a college creative writing class.
I wouldn't recommend this book.. The nicest thing I can say about it is that it's not the worst thing I have ever read. I made it all the way through and don't feel like asking for my money back.
