Clan Novel Giovanni

The Clan Novel Saga, Book 10

By: Justin Achilli

Narrated by: Kyle Maraglio

The Clan Novel Saga is a thirteen-volume masterpiece, presenting the war between the established Camarilla leadership and the growing power of the brutal Sabbat on the East Coast of the United States. Each novel is told from the perspective of one of the thirteen clans, intertwining with the others, and filling in missing pieces artfully as we follow battle after battle, intrigue after intrigue—and the appearance of a strange artifact that falls into the hands of a solitary Toreador sculptor.

Clan Novel Giovanni is the tenth novel in the series.

Benito Giovanni has vanished.

Enter Chas Giovanni Tello, Mob strong-arm and part of the New World Giovanni. Chas finds himself ordered to Las Vegas where he meets the Old World scion of the necromancers' clan, Isabel, who shares his interest in locating the missing Benito.

Soon, though, the mismatched pair find themselves embroiled in affairs beyond both of their reckoning. The search for Benito must take a back seat to the impending clash between sects in Boston. Thereafter, an even greater threat looms–one that surfaces from the family's treacherous past and threatens the very existence of Clan Giovanni.

This series is a monumental, 13-novel exploration of the forbidden world of the Kindred. What began in Clan Novel: Toreador continues here, and its ending will determine the fate of every human–and inhuman–being in the world.

Good story, horrible narrator

I really enjoyed reading the series when I was younger and I was really looking forward to listening to this one because Giovanni is one of my favorite clans. The story is just as good as I remember but the narrator made it an incredibly difficult listen. The stuttered and robotic computer voices that you would hear in 1990's era applications could have done a better job. Inflection on words, mispronunciations, stilted sentances where he would stop then continue mid-way, failing at changing voice to match the character... it was all just so bad. There were so many times where I was really close to just turning it off. The only reason I continued was so I could hear the story and reminisce.

Unless you really liked this book when it was originally published or if you want to really want to listen to the entire saga over the 13 books, first listen to the sample Audible makes available to determine for yourself whether you are ok with the narrator's performance.

Bout time!

Loved this book in high school, still love it tonight! It’s so good to be having this book in audio form.

a good reading

i loved the difference in the voices and the reading for Chas. this was a good job. certain pronunciations were concerning at first but that could have been the genuine writings of the book as well.
