Excerpt

“You know those stories that you always hear about other people? The people who are in the right place at the right time?  That toothless goob who wins the lottery. That fat lady with the puffy arms that your Mom knew from work who went to Vegas and actually won on that slot machine with the really big handle. Yeah, this isn’t one of those stories. This is a wrong place, right time story.

And what does it matter what happened before the story starts? Why do you care? It’s not like it was good story. ‘Cause if it was, I would be telling you about that part. I was a drone, a goon, a stooge. I was a guy who had to wear a tie and a short sleeve shirt to work.”

Unkillable

The story of a young man who is brought back from the dead for revenge. He doesn’t have superpowers. He’s just Unkillable.

Here’s what some real people have to say.

Icepick Says:

I really enjoyed this story. Although I find it difficult to separate the writing from Patrick’s silky smooth storytelling, I think I would have had fun with it even if I had to do the heavy lifting of decoding words from a page myself.

It reminded me of Neil Gaiman’s “American Gods” in tone and genre (if that makes any sense). Does that make it “urban fantasy”?

This story, I think, has a deeper context using the more mythical aspects for color only. It certainly lends itself to sequels, I hope they get written.

TJGeezer Says:

This is a very engaging tale and Mr. McLean is a very good narrator, expressive and not prone to stumbling. I decided this one required instant gratification and, since he provided a link, clicked and bought at CDBaby.

He says at his site that any tale capable of sustaining his interest is one of self-discovery. That sense of story shows in Unkillable. It was worth the reasonable price to buy a copy, IMO. A fine story.

Brandon Says:

Just found this last night. Must say, I’m quite pleased. Story is very interesting, quality of audio and narration is excellent and the chapters are nice and short so I don’t have to worry about being forced to stop and leave halfway through one.

(thought, I say nice and short now cause there are plenty ahead of me so I’m not having to wait week to week for a short chapter)

Regardless, I look forward to the rest of the story.
