Download Path of the Dead: Hungry Ghosts, Book 1 AudioBook Free
Nestled on the foot of Tibet's sacred Seche La Mountain is the village of Dagz. The normally quiet streets are bustling with the stable stream of arrivals and arrangements for the coming Celebration of the Medicine King; a time of celebration, treatment, and renewal. But a shadow is sweeping the globe, a plague of apocalyptic proportions - the dead are growing and devouring the living, and no place is safe where mankind thrives. As Dagz melts away, overtaken by the starving undead, five people come together: Lama Tenzin, an elder monk; Gu-lang, the silent warrior nun and Tenzin's protector; Cheung, an exclusive within the People's Army, driver, and escort of the Lama; 10-year-old Chodren Dawa, witness to his sister's fatality and growing; and Dorje Cetan, a Shaolin-trained hermit monk of Seche La and a dreamer of the dark portent. Along they must fight their way to avoid it of Dagz to the deserted Buddhist hermitage clinging to the mist-shrouded cliffs of Seche La. Together with the undead following and gathering at Eagle's Nest gate, they barricade themselves inside their dead-end haven, and are soon forced to battle the beasts without, as well as those within. ARC reviewer T.L. Barrett says of the child named Chodren being one of the protagonists: "...[the guy] allows us a childlike perspective on the globe, which amps the horror, the reader's investment and gives us an unbiased witness perspective of the philosophical variations of the Chinese soldier and the Tibetan holy men (and [the] female [Gu-lang] and...what a round and interesting character she actually is, however taciturn). The e book amounts scares, action, Gothic configurations - the woods, the desolate Tibetan mountains, and deserted temple monasteries - with thoughtful philosophical discussions and arguments that drags this novel out of pulp entertainment and into a literary exploration of the globe." Journey of the Dead is the first e book in the Hungry Spirits series from Ragnarok Publications. It is Timothy Baker's first full-length novel.
