About this audiobook
Ride with the Horsemen of the Apocalypse as they seek to unearth a plot that could plunge all of Creation into chaos!
Ages before the events of Darksiders and Darksiders II, two of the feared Horsemen-Death and War-are tasked with stopping a group of renegades from locating the Abomination Vault: a hoard containing weapons of ultimate power and malice, capable of bringing an end to the uneasy truce between Heaven and Hell . . . but only by unleashing total destruction.
Created in close collaboration with the Darksiders II teams at Vigil and THQ, Darksiders: The Abomination Vault gives an exciting look at the history and world of the Horsemen, shining a new light on the unbreakable bond between War and Death.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Darksiders: The Abomination Vault by Ari Marmell with Bob Walter (Reading) is the audio book I just finished and boy, it was AWESOME! The voice was perfect for this book! I felt I was there and in the battles, or in hell or heaven or where ever the trek lead. A fantastic story, a stand alone, of one of The Horsemen, Death, as he tries to solve a riddle before it sends Heaven, Hell, and everything created into chaos. Totally glued to my tablet the whole time! The plot had so many twist, surprises, and suspense, and even humor in there. Strange creatures along with known creatures helped created this strange world. The writing itself was so well done that I felt I could smell, feel, hear, see. and taste everything that was going on all the time. His words were magic in themselves. Wonderful! I have never even seen this game or played video games but it is suppose to be from a video game.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I listen to this one, because I'm a fan of Darksiders series. This book is on par with any other game tie in novel. Not great and are on the side of fan fiction.
It's good for lore exploration, but not good at being stand alone novel. Death read like an edgy wanna be. Get offended easily and threaten any one who questione
d him with scythes. This is repeated many times throughout the book.
War's subplot, which is hardly have anything to do with the main plot is a bolter porn standard that provided no excitement. It can be removed entirely and wouldn't affect anything.
The reader also read so slow that 1.2x felt like 1.0x speed.
What I like about this book is that it described battle scenes in a visual oriented way. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I really didn't think I would like this but I've been using Overdrive to listen to audiobooks and the list is kinda sparse so I decided to give it a try. The narrator's voice was strange, to dramatic and it made it seem even cheaper than the fact that this was a book written about a video game. Also there was a LOT of fighting. BUT I ended up really liking it. I really enjoy the whole "politics of Heaven and Hell" thing. I enjoyed it more in "God's Demon" from Barlowe, but this was still a lot of fun, just lighter overall. The humor seemed misplaced at first but then as I got further in I liked it more.So I would say, make sure you give this some extra time to settle in before you make a final judgement.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The reader's voice was terrible. He had no breath control, and it made it very difficult to enjoy the book. I had to speed it up just to make it bearable. Otherwise, very good quality!
