The Primal Hunter

About This Audiobook

Jake Thayne is an introverted office drone whose one hobby is archery — right up until Earth gets integrated into the multiverse System and his entire department is dumped into a tutorial forest. Turns out Jake carries a rare Bloodline that grants predator instincts and (the real cheat code) lets him deal with gods as equals. That's how he ends up befriending Villy — the Malefic Viper, an ancient snake god who mentors him in alchemy, trash-talks the rest of the pantheon, and quietly becomes the best character in the series. The Jake/Villy dynamic is the heart of the thing; around it is shameless battle-junkie power fantasy about a guy finally honest enough to admit he loves the fight. Known issues: stat-block bloat, mid-series wheel-spinning, and Villy bailing Jake out one too many times. Still: 13.3K ratings at 4.6, fourteen audiobooks out, and Book 15 scheduled for August 19. Baldree's Villy voice alone justifies going audio. It's big dumb numbers and I love it.
