Publisher's Summary

Truly epic urban fantasy

All three books in the critically acclaimed, award winning series, The Paternus Trilogy, together in one digital box set.

Described as American Gods meets The Avengers, Paternus combines myths from around the world in a modern story of action and intrigue that is “urban fantasy on the surface, but so much more at its core!”

“Fantastically fun and enormously epic. The Paternus Trilogy is a powerhouse urban fantasy that explores the very edge of possibility of what this subgenre can offer, and it is glorious. Highly, highly recommended.” (Novel Notions)

Even myths have legends. And not all legends are myth.

Book 1: Paternus: Rise of Gods

When a local hospital is attacked by strange and frightening men, Fiona Patterson and Zeke Prisco save a catatonic old man named Peter - and find themselves running for their lives with creatures out of myth and legend hounding their every step.

In order to survive, they must join up with powerful allies against an ancient evil that’s been known by many names and feared by all. The final battle of the world’s oldest war has begun.

Book 2: Paternus: Wrath of Gods

Fi and Zeke aid Peter in his globe-trotting quest to seek out the remaining Firstborn, uncover the enemy’s plans, and gather the warriors of old. Along the way, Fi and Zeke discover they, too, have strengths of their own - though they come at a cost neither may wish to bear.

Book 3: Paternus: War of Gods

From Africa to Asgard, to an invisible island in the Pacific and the Bone Road of a forgotten realm, Fi and Zeke must come to grips with who and what they are - and accept what they are becoming: wielders of ancient and dangerous powers, warriors, and maybe even heroes.

Cry havoc, and let slip the gods of war.

So good!

If there was ever a story where you just know the author did a ridiculous amount research, this would the one. I love myths and legends and this book brought so much history into one story it was amazing. I can not believe Hollywood hasn't bought the rights to this and started making a series. I would be worth every penny. I loved this series and will probably listen to it again before 2021 is over!

Pretty nice

Pretty decent reader overall.
Story was pretty damn slow to pick up but when it does, it's pretty much action non stop.

Well written

The visualization was very good and the narrator did a fine job. The only thing I would say that confused me
was the part where some characters were part animals and part people. It was very confusing, Generally it was a entertaining book with a fairly good plot.

Just gets better and better

The whole series improves book to book, as it goes deeper and deeper into the various mythologies and expands more and more. Loved how the author wove it together and paid off series long story threads. It is wild how each book just sprawls (in a positive way).

The performance is good to great 90% off the time. But at the beginning or usually end of some chapters, and then at random points throughout, you can tell where different days of audio are stitched together. Doesn't really derail the progression too much.. but there are some awkward moments in my opinion.

Gorgeous. Glorious. Epic.

I stroll in a daze, the twilight of this magnificent tale holds my heart and mind like a setting sun. Masterfully rendered narration resonates with the spirit of the text. Heartfelt thanks for the journey.

couldn't finish the first book

I tried struggling through the first book but this one isn't for me. Characters are incredibly immature despite being thousands of years old. Could not finish.
