About this listen
The Spook, Tom and Alice travel to Ireland, fleeing from the war in the County. The only thing protecting Tom and Alice is the fragile and precious bloodjar. They must remain together and the jar intact - otherwise they are both at the mercy of the Fiend himself.
Meanwhile Tom is recruited to tackle the evil mage alliance, on a mission which ultimately leads him to the possession of the Spook's Blade. A sword with a dark side and a thirst of its own for blood... It's the only weapon that has a fighting chance against the Fiend in combat. But first Tom needs training, and the only person who can help him is Grimalkin, the witch assassin. Will she come? And if she does, whose side will this creature of the dark be on?

Story5 out of 5 stars 13
When young novice monk Brother Beowulf is sent to spy on Spook Johnson, he has no idea of the trouble he's about to find himself in. Johnson boasts to Wulf of his battles against demonic creatures and even seems to imprison local witches, though Wulf is sceptical. But the monsters Johnson claims to fight turn out to be very real indeed, and soon Wulf is forced to seek help from another young Spook, Tom Ward, who terrifies and charms him in equal measure. But the forces of the dark are many and it's not long until Wulf and Tom realise they've bitten off far more than they can chew.

It’s not easy making the career jump from office-supplies-store middle manager to heroic interdimensional adventurer. At least, Jason tries to be heroic, but it's hard to be good when all your powers are evil. He’ll face off against cannibals, cultists, wizards, monsters...and that’s just on the first day. He’s going to need courage, he’s going to need wit, and he’s going to need some magic powers of his own. But first, he’s going to need pants.

They are outcasts. Hal, Stig, and the others - they are the boys the others want no part of. Skandians, as any reader of Ranger's Apprentice could tell you, are known for their size and strength. Not these boys. Yet that doesn't mean they don't have skills. And courage - which they will need every ounce of to do battle at sea against the other bands, the Wolves and the Sharks, in the ultimate race. The icy waters make for a treacherous playing field - especially when not everyone thinks of it as playing.

Long ago the gods chose a great hero to act as their agent in the mortal world and to stand against the demonic spawn of Chaos. The gods gifted their champion, Daemron, with three magical Talismans: a sword, a ring, and a crown. But the awesome power at his command corrupted Daemron, turning him from savior to destroyer. Filled with pride, he dared to challenge the gods themselves. Siding with the Chaos spawn, Daemron waged a titanic battle against the Immortals. In the end, Daemron was defeated, the Talismans were lost, and Chaos was sealed off behind the Legacy - a magical barrier the gods sacrificed themselves to create.

The Sun Dragon spawned nine lesser dragons which devoured their parent for the power the elder possessed.

tricked
What disappointed you about The Spook's Destiny?
already listened to the book under another name. I read the caption and mistook it for a new book in the series.... oh well. I really can't rate the performance of the narrator since i didn't listen.
Any additional comments?
Christopher Welch is spot on for the job. Hopefully any NEW books will be narrated by him.

The narrator is bad
I have enjoyed the series till now. A new narrator was used and I can't stand him. All of the characters sound the same and his delivery is no better. I stopped listening after only one chapter.

Really bad narrator
What would have made The Spook's Destiny better?
They really need to go back to the original reader. Not only was this one aweful, but switching in mid series is jarring.
Christopher Even Welch
If you’ve listened to books by Joseph Delaney before, how does this one compare?
All of them, I have the entire series and have loved them all
Would you be willing to try another one of Thomas Judd’s performances?
No, Not at all
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
Great series
