Uncanny Collateral

Valkyrie Collections, Book 1

By: Brian McClellan

Narrated by: Luke Daniels

Alek Fitz is a reaper, a collection agent who works for the supernatural elements of the world, tracking down debtors and solving problems for clients as diverse as the Lords of Hell, vampires, Haitian loa, and goblins. He’s even worked for the Tooth Fairy on occasion. Based out of Cleveland, Ohio, Alek is the best in the game. As a literal slave to his job, he doesn’t have a choice.

When Death comes looking for someone to track down a thief, Alek is flung into a mess of vengeful undead, supernatural bureaucracy, and a fledgling imp war. As the consequences of failure become dire, he has few leads, and the clock is ticking. Only with the help of his friend Maggie - an ancient djinn with a complex past - can he hope to recover the stolen property, save the world, and just maybe wring a favor out of the Great Constant himself.

It’s a hell of a job, but somebody’s got to do it...

Looking forward to more

Brian McClellan’s addition to urban fantasy that incorporates common myths & legends is an enjoyable listen.
-Avoids trying to be too clever with the plot
-Embraces tropes instead of wild deviations in a vain attempt to stroke the author’s ego.
-Different than Powdermage demonstrating Mr. McClellan has a little range.
-Entertaining well paced story that would be better if there were already half a dozen or so in the series to listen to back to back.
-Luke Daniels does a fine job, he would slide towards sounding like Atticus occasionally which it’s hard not to think of with the sub genre-narrator combo.

a quick listen but interesting

It was good but short. The reader had a good voice for the character. Will check out book 2 soon.

Really Good Story...

This story turned out to be a new favorite of mine.

Luke Daniels, Once again, is the MAN!!! His voice... just makes the characters feel realistic and a live!

The two main characters worked great together and how they both have Shady passes, which helps in their character builds.
I also liked the the writer just writes! He tells his story without try to be a Word Smith!!
The story line flowed perfectly. I found myself not wanting to put the book down!!!
Now I can not wait until the next one is out!!

Loved it!

Luke Daniels does an outstanding job narrating and bringing the characters to life including subtleties in specific characters voices that reflect changes in their physiology. The story was engaging for me. I hope to heart much more from this series.

I Want More!

Awesome series, awesome narrator.
Here's hoping that this series continues and their released quickly. Making them longer would be icing on the top.
