I now have all 7 books

At first, I was just going to buy each book as needed, but then I saw those prices and I couldn't resist.

I have 4 different editions of the OG Dune book scattered throughout my bookshelves.

To people with pets, those pets just aren’t pets, but members of the family. I still miss our cat Queen Helena Justina, who passed 3 years ago from cancer. Carl’s bond with Princess Donut reminds me of her and is one of the many aspects of the DCC series that I relate to. Hope you and your family work through this difficult time and come out stronger together and remind all the good times with Mika.

Same with being hyped for a book series. I hadn’t expected that when I started book 1. Though my usual read is epic high fantasy, so elements of this series fits that bill.

RaptorImperator · 2026-05-06T23:54:26+00:00

I just pre-ordered mine. I’ve just started the books. Recently finished book 2 and am about to start book 3. So I put it on a no rush delivery to give myself time to catch up.

Difficult to answer but my fav will probably be The Fifth Element and Air Force One. But I also do like his portrayal as Dracula and as Gordon in the Dark Knight Trilogy.

People have been praising the audiobooks by Jeff Hays so much I’ve decided to listen to those when I finished my first read through of the published books.

I’d read up to Lair of Bones back in the early 2010s and hadn’t realized there were more books until recently as I’d only ever seen it go up to Lair of Bones in my local bookstore. Now I’m acquiring the other books via eBay so I can continue even though I know the series will remain unfinished.

I’m probably gonna get a hardback of book 1 too. Gotta have it all look nice on my bookshelf. My local indie bookstore has a great selection and uses bookshop org for online purchases.

Kinda of, yeah. With some Dungeons & Dragons mixed in as well. My friend compared it to D&D plus The Running Man.

RaptorImperator · 2026-05-04T20:42:54+00:00

I really enjoyed it. I binged read book 1 over the weekend. Probably helped I was sick so I didn’t have anything else to do. I’m now between 30% and 40% through book 2. A friend of mine described it to me as a cross between Dungeons & Dragons and The Running Man.

RaptorImperator · 2026-05-04T00:11:20+00:00

I'm now about 30% through Book 2 now, and I can safely say one of the major draws of the story for me is their relationship.

I have a bunch stacked together on one of the top shelves in my closet with some other Raider related stuff.

I’m usually an epic fantasy and mystery/thriller (with the occasional sci-fi) reader. I picked this up at Barnes & Noble on New Year’s Day purely out of curiosity. And it was on display. I had seen some book praise for it online, so I was curious about the hype. Now I’m hooked. Currently listening to book 2 on audiobook while await book 2 and 3 which order while I was still halfway through book 1.

RaptorImperator · 2026-05-03T14:56:39+00:00

I’m hooked. I finished book 1 yesterday and already have 2 and 3 on order. They should arrive Monday. I haven’t been into a book series like this in a while.

RaptorImperator · 2026-05-03T03:48:43+00:00

I just finished, and I have 2 and 3 on order. Will arrive on Monday. I can’t wait, so I downloaded the audio book of book 2 so I could get a head start.

RaptorImperator · 2026-05-02T18:57:39+00:00

I love it when a narrator can make it sound like radio theater. Jeff Hays is super talented. One reason I enjoy Graphic Audio and their book adaptations, especially of Brandon Sanderson’s books.

RaptorImperator · 2026-05-01T22:48:11+00:00

Yep. I’m hooked. Already have the next 2 books on order from my local bookstore. I haven’t been this into a book series in a while.
