About this listen

In this tale of adventure, murder, snakes, revenge, and zombies, the Royal Governor of Jamaica sends an S.O.S. to London, asking urgently for help in putting down a burgeoning slave rebellion. London replies by sending Lieutenant-Colonel Lord John Grey, with half a battalion of infantry, a company of artillery, and his trusty valet, Tom Byrd.

silly zombified books like Jane Austen with zombies, worry not. The continuing saga of Lord John Grey and Tom Byrd delves into the science and history behind a certain Caribbean superstition.

Another excellent Lord John story, gives a fuller richer back story for one of the Outlander characters. Wish it was a bit longer. Brilliantly performed

It’s been very disappointing that the LJ novels/novellas/side-stories haven’t been narrated by Davina Porter. When you’ve listened to her excellent portrayal of Jamie & Claire over such a long period and so much material from the Outlander universe, you get used to a particular voice associated with a character, so to suddenly have Jamie read by a) a man (well men), and b) with completely different Scottish dialects, it totally throws you.

This narration was the worst so far though. None of it was particularly convincing, but supposed tribal African slipping into the awful Scottish accent again was a low point.

I can’t decide if the story ending abruptly shortly after the voodoodunfermline was a good thing or not.
I had been enjoying the story up until about a chapter or two before (I’m having to guess at the chapters as Audible have lumped the whole book into one chapter), and it was a really interesting twist to all of the LJ side-story which I’ve really been enjoying through all of the other books.
It just got strange though, and the events didn’t seem to be linked to the theme of the story, it’s more like Ms. Gabaldon couldn’t think of how to get to her ending so just rushed something out. It would have been great to have had much more interaction and plot with Geillis Duncan/Mrs. Abernathy, but that too seemed stilted with just one conversation.

I’m hesitant to say skip this one altogether - although it is only 3 hours of book - there’s no guarantee I’ve got them all and in the correct order, as whilst Diana’s timeline isn’t too difficult to follow, the actual availability of all the LJ books/stories with Audible is. It’s not as simple as book 1-7 as it was with Outlander.

Perhaps leave this one for a long drive when you’ve immediately got to be somewhere and distracted by something else. Otherwise, you’ll just be left wondering why.

Abrupt, peculiar ending. LJ has been let down by sub-par narration. OK
