By: Gail Carriger

Narrated by: J. Daniel Sawyer

A short tale of mummies, werewolves, and well-preserved felines set in this Parasol Protectorate prequel!

When Alessandro Tarabotti and his valet, Floote, find themselves in Egypt on the queen's business, a chance encounter with tourists quickly leads to a...situation...with the local mummies. Can Allesandro complete his secret mission before he's hijacked by social obligation? And how will his aunt Archangelica react to his treatment of her cat?

For years the subject of speculation and rumor, the nature of Alexia Tarabotti's father's adventures and romances is finally revealed in this glorious full-cast audio production with an original score by composer Danny Schade. ArtisticWhispers Productions and New York Times best-selling author Gail Carriger are proud to present you the long-awaited stand-alone prequel to her defining steampunk masterpiece The Parasol Protectorate.

Need more!

This needed to be longer. The father's adventures could be their own series into antiquity. I'd also love to know wtf tempted him to reproduce with Alexia's b*tch mother 😑

Love it

Definitely worth the listen, and it’s interesting to hear it, since it’s a small short. But it gives you the beginning, on who Alexia father is.

excellent

Excellent companion to the soulless series. I've enjoyed all of her books and especially the parasol protectorate.

Short but nice

Before this, the only thing I had read by Carriger was "Soulless", and I did really enjoy it. I grabbed this to try and get a little background info, and while it was good it didn't really give me what I was hoping for. It was a story from the past, but only showed that the dad did some cool things then and worked for interesting people. I guess I felt there could have been more to it. Still worth a listen.

Better to read the book instead of listening

I really did not like the performance. The accents were done well, but the narrator was like listening to a 10th grader and the special effects were distracting. I couldn't even hear half of the dialogue because they used an echo effect that made the voices terribly quiet. I got the gist of the story, and I love Gail Carriger's work, but no more dramatizations, please.
