Vant Hu’l is cursed. Dragged to the center of a wasteland by a ruthless malevolence, the legendary warrior discovers a cavern filled with devious riddles and fiendish traps. Upon solving the labyrinth, he is confronted by a hideous creature. A beast with unimaginable abilities. A being of unspeakable evil… Death. Without a shred of clemency, the demigod presents Vant with a choice: do his sinister bidding out in the world, or suffer an eternity of horrifying torment. Thus begins Vant’s quest out of the badlands, through the hostile wilderness, into the clutches of twisted townships, and finally toward conflict with the vile stewards of a corrupted civilization. But Vant will not go it alone. In the midst of his journey, he develops an unlikely companionship with a clever and venturesome teenage girl, the expert survivalist Skii Tavee. They also form an alliance with two newfound — but questionable — companions: Kram Grammie, the sneaky con man who is as crafty as he is klepto, and an off-kilter eccentric bizarrely known as The World’s Worst Magician. United, they set out to dispatch their foes, rescue the innocents caught in the crossfire, and unite the forces of a world gone astray, all while reconciling with their own haunting pasts. "Mortal Enemy: Legends of Grim #1" is a tale like no other. It is a relentless whirlwind of action and adventure. A saga of conflicted heroes and devious villains. A journey rife with darkness and struggle, yet also wicked humor. It is jam-packed with nightmarish scenarios, fantastical environments, rich mythology, incredible weapons, unique technologies, and characters dripping with personality, with shocking surprises awaiting you at every turn. Come experience Death… if you dare.

So good

Highlight and what brought me to the podcast was that Eric Christian Olsen (Community, NCIS Los Angeles) voices the character Vant. Stayed with it because I loved the back and forth between “current” and Vant’s past.
There were a few graphic things I could have done without, in Crash Town especially, but I see how the author wanted to show the.. color of the environment they were in. (If you are more sensitive to hedonistic behaviors, listen with caution.)
Overall though I feel this was really well done and I didn’t feel like I was getting lost in any of the scenes where I had to go back and relisten like in other stories. There were a few times when Vant would think to himself that I had to rewind and turn the volume up, and some of the action scenes that I had to turn it down.
I feel this was really well produced and soundscaped. Will listen again (even though I’ll likely skip a few scenes here and there along the way).

Awesome Podio-Book!!!

Do yourself a favor and give it at least a couple episodes before deciding whether or not this book is for you. The sound quality, the acting and the story are all awesome, and come together to form hours of engrossing completely free entertainment. If you're a fan of audiodramas, you'll be a fan of this.

Wow!

This is honestly 1 of the best stories I’ve read, heard, watched, etc. in a very long time! I was really sad to get to the end & really hope we get more soon! Not to mention the quality of the VAs & narration was probably the best I’ve heard yet, even beating out Titans in the audio drama genre like We’re Alive (in my opinion at least). I’m definitely recommending this to everyone I know that enjoys audio dramas.
