Back to One audiobook – Bad Guys Series, Book 7

In the midst of a long drive on a sunny afternoon, I found myself engrossed in the captivating world of Back to One audiobook by Eric Ugland, narrated by Neil Hellegers. The open road provided the perfect backdrop for this thrilling science fiction and fantasy tale.

The story follows Clyde, the protagonist from the highly acclaimed One More Last Time, as he embarks on another adventure in Galton. Determined to unravel the mysteries of the City of Darkness before returning to Galton, Clyde’s journey is filled with unexpected twists and turns. However, it seems that every decision he makes leads him astray, causing frustration among his companions.

Eric Ugland’s storytelling is both immersive and unpredictable. His characters are flawed yet relatable, constantly finding themselves in precarious situations. As a reader, I couldn’t help but be drawn into Clyde’s quest for answers and his relentless determination.

Neil Hellegers’ narration adds an extra layer of depth to the story. His ability to bring each character to life with distinct voices and emotions is truly remarkable. Listening to his smooth and engaging delivery made me feel like I was right there beside Clyde on his adventure.

However, while Back to One offers an exciting premise and well-developed characters, I did find myself longing for more significant progression within the story. It felt as though certain plot points were left unresolved or brushed aside too quickly. Additionally, some magical elements seemed inconsistent or underutilized.

Despite these minor shortcomings, Back to One remains an enjoyable listen for fans of Eric Ugland’s previous works and those seeking an action-packed science fiction and fantasy adventure.
