About this audiobook
Earth is being invaded by the shetani-spirit creatures so small and stealthy that only one man knows about the increasing peril...
The potential savior is an African elder named Olkeloki who is capable of fighting evil both in this world and the spirit one. But to be successful he must recruit the help of two others: government agent Joshua Oak and a feisty young woman named Merry Sharrow.
Only the three of them can keep the shetani from destroying reality as we know it.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I'll never look at tire treads along the side of the road in the same way.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A standalone novel by Alan Dean Foster, this book takes three unlikely characters--an outdoor-gear saleswoman, an FBI agent, and a Maasai Elder--and puts them together to save the world from the shetani--monsters from another dimension. I found it to be yet another excellent work by Foster, with mysterious characters, an even more mysterious enemy that you readily hate, and an realistic world (possibly because Foster spent time in Africa before writing this).Loved it!
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This book started out decently enough. However about half way through it just started dragging on and on and on. Then the annoying things started compounding.
For one, the sexual attack was too much for me. It would be one thing if she just got away, but no, the other woman takes her place and she just runs away to go get the men while these evil creatures rape the poor woman to death, because that’s how they “eat.” Additionally, having the woman get sexually attacked a second time is getting into eye rolling territory. The fact that the woman always seems to get violated while going to the bathroom because she refuses to pee in eyesight of someone is retarded. Why are we always hearing about her needing to go pee btw? That sure as hell wasn’t mentioned for the men. Also through out the book she talks about not being a helpless woman, yet she has to be save numerous times, and the only productive thing she does the entire story is drive a vehicle in the rain, which she ultimately gets stuck in a river and the men have to save the day yet again.
The ending though really tipped me over the edge. Here I am being drug along thinking, I’ve just got to get to good part, and it turns out all that was needed was each of the American’s glass eye. So basically the people didn’t even need to go through any of this ridiculous adventure because the only thing that qualifies these two as “important” in this story is the fact that they’ve both lost an eye. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Title: Ancient legends return to cause chaos!Summary:Mysterious events push nations toward open conflict. Those that could stop or slow down the ever increasing chaos meet suspicious ends. There is no one group or person to blame, but the evidence always seems to point to the obvious conclusion. This is not the work of some group bent on world domination though, but a more ancient and dangerous enemy. The Shentai: a race of demons that live in a dimension called the “Out Of”. Usually only able to interact with our world in small numbers, something has caused a tear in the barrier between our world and theirs threatening to unleash billions of demons on a world already on the brink of annihilation. The only hope is to seal the rip in the veil before it becomes permanent. This is the task of Olkeloki a shaman from an ancient tribe called the Massi. He must seek out allies that can assist him in closing the rip. Finding his allies turns out to be the easy part. Surviving long enough to accomplish their mission is a whole other problem.My Thoughts:This is another Alan Dean Foster book that hits the ground running and doesn’t stop till the end. The action is fast and the characters are believable. None of the characters are two dimensional and the beliefs of another culture are not made light of. As one of the characters puts it (paraphrased) “From my view your world is just as backward as you seem to think mine is” or “Yesterdays magic is today's science, today's science is tomorrows magic” in another instance when one of the characters scoffs at the idea of “ancient demons” having anything to do with anything in modern times. Definitively worth a read if you like Alan Dean Foster stories and your looking for a world spanning adventure with plenty of action.
