About this listen
The Earth is under siege - and no one knows about it because the invaders erase those whom they consume. A handful of men and women stand on the border between the mundane and the magical. They have a special spark of soul - not quite enough to be naturally gifted in spellcraft but greater than the average person, a tiny flame that can ignite incredible potential. They possess the ability to fight back against the Vorid: the ability to become a Contractor.
Daniel Fitzgerald is one of those people, but when duty comes calling he promptly slams the door in its face. He has no illusions of grandeur. He is not someone special. He wants to go to school and study law. And frankly, he doesn't really like people, and he doesn't want anything to do with magic. He just wants to be left alone. But when the entire planet is a battlefield, there is no place to run.

I was a little unsure about the introduction of Hades but by the end it made the book all the better.
I loathe spoilers. I'm not one to spoil, so I shan't go on anymore. Suffice to say, I can't wait for book 2.
Simply, superb.

Unusual story, hoping there's a sequel.

The basic premise and plot is logical and proceeds in a manner that makes sense and doesn't depend too much on all the right things just happening at the right time and place. There is some real sadness and real humour in the story and it moves along at a reasonable clip being neither too slow nor too fast.
The ending is certainly not predictable though again it fits well in the story and leaves you wanting to know what is going to happen next.
I highly recommend this either as a book or an audio though you will end up waiting like the rest of us for the next book in the series.
Cliffhanger ending makes me want the next book now

Where does Contractor rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This is a great book to listen to and I would rank it highly among all I have listened to. But not at the top.Who was your favorite character and why?
Daniel comes across as a fun guy but I really enjoyed all of them.Have you listened to any of Luke Daniels’s other performances? How does this one compare?
Some, Luke have really managed to enhance the story by his brilliant narration. He is my favourite narrator along with Stephen Fry. This book was actually only on my shoppinglist to begin with because he is the narrator.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No but it was a book I wanted to make time for.Very entertaining!
