God of War

By: Robert E. Vardeman, Matthew Stover

Narrated by: Stephen Hoye

A brutal warrior, Kratos is a slave to the gods of Olympus. Plagued by the nightmares of his past and yearning for freedom, the Ghost of Sparta would do anything to be free of his debt to the gods. He is on the verge of losing all hope when the gods give him one last task to end his servitude. He must destroy Ares, the god of war. But what chance does a mere mortal have against a god?

Armed with the deadly chained Blades of Chaos, guided by the goddess Athena, and driven by his own insatiable thirst for vengeance, Kratos seeks the only relic powerful enough to slay Ares---a quest that will take him deep into the mysterious temple borne by the Titan Cronos! From the black depths of Hades to the war-torn city of Athens to the lost desert beyond, God of War sheds a brutal new light on the best-selling video game and on the legend of Kratos.

Narrator was great. While listening I could see the scenes I participated in while playing the game. Well, well done.

Fantastic story and fantastic reading performance

The video games does not do this novel justice one bit! Also its nice to listening to a book about greek gods that doesn’t involve sex all the time! This story gives you a very raw story of how horrible these gods are. Kratos needs to wipe them all!
