About this listen
Twelve strangers from different realities are kidnapped and left stranded on an Earth where magic has supplanted technology and ancient empires have prospered for many centuries in this work of dark fantasy. Among some are a deadly assassin from the Canadian Armed Forces, a brilliant Irish trauma surgeon, a "nuclear winter" survivor, and a medical marvel whose augmented strength does little to compensate for his irreversible brain damage.
Receiving the aid of an ancient wizard of the Ethermen, the group of 12 finds themselves battling fierce creatures and witnessing marvels beyond their imaginations. But their journey becomes more perilous when a necromancer plans to use them in his overthrow of Earth...by plunging their new home into eternal night.
Their survival depends on trust...but will their past lives keep them from the one chance they have to find their way home?

Unfortunately not for me
From the book description I was very interested in a fantasy horror about the 12 strangers but unfortunately apart from the first chapter, it didn't hold my interest, I couldn't get into it. Despite this I wanted to give the book a chance and persisted with it for nearly 6 hours. But there seemed to be a very long background build up to the story, with descriptions of many different characters and very little about the 12. I got to chapter 7 before giving up completely. It still had not got into the thick of the story, or at least the multiple characters and their side stories had not yet gelled together. It just felt like a lot of random stories, while I was still waiting to hear about The Dozen. I did not get on with the narrator's voice which was too screechy for me and whom struggled a bit with the various character voices. I also wasn't a fan of the instrumental interludes or how the women in this book were abused. Unfortunately this book was not for me.
I was given a copy of this book for free of my own choosing and have voluntarily left this review.
