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.

Ratings and reviews

Good story. I haven't listened to many audiobooks, so please take my opinion on the narrator as such. With that said, he drives me nuts. His diction and spacing of the words is like fingers on a chalkboard. At times he sounds out of breath which leads to odd pauses. For instance, the word "of"...he pauses before it each time. This may be a style that is purposeful and folks like, but I do not enjoy it in the least. He makes a very enjoyable story, difficult to finish.

It was great!
