About this listen

Eric is a physicist, an angel vivisectionist, and an architect of the future.

He's also an accidental time traveler, stuck in the past and trying to re-create his own future.

Now he's got to save the world for a better tomorrow, but not like everyone does, in general, every day. Oh, no. He has to make a better tomorrow that looks exactly the way he remembers it, or there may be no yesterday, no today, and no Eric!

There is a reason he hates time travel, and it has nothing to do with physics.

Nightlord: Penumbra is the eighth book in the Nightlord series.

What listeners say about Nightlord: Penumbra

Highly rated for:

The Audiobook Series Follows The Story Of Eric, A Vampire Protagonist Who Possesses Immense Powers And Traverses Through Different Worlds And Timelines. While Praised For Its Engaging Storyline, Complex Characters, And Creative Blending Of Magic And Science, The Book Faces Criticism For Its Excessive Descriptions, Slow Pacing, And Repetitive Introspective Monologues From The Main Character. The Series Explores Themes Of Time Travel, Multiverse Exploration, Immortality's Impact On Humanity, And The Protagonist's Struggle To Maintain His Connections. Despite Some Complaints About Lack Of Progression And Abrupt Cliffhanger Endings, The Overall Storytelling And Worldbuilding Are Appreciated By Fans Of The Series.

Patience! Book starts slow, gets way better!

Early review: I am having trouble finishing this, it is just so tedious to listen to (despite Sean Runnette's always-excellent performance). and almost nothing happens for hours of listening at a time. Normally I enjoy when Garon Whited gets all technical about the workings of magic in his world (I am a computer programmer so I really love how he "programs" his spells), but I cannot get interested in trying to create a Sun for the world that just goes on and on. There is very minimal character interaction or development, just our favorite Night Lord working on his "honey do" list of magical chores. I am 10 hours into a 44-hour experience and hope I can make it! I went and read a bunch of other reviews to see if maybe it gets better if I wait it out, but all the reviews seem to agree with my assessment.

Updated review: the book does get more enjoyable once Eric start populating the defrosted planet and we leave the whole "create a sun" storyline behind. I'm 3/4 of the way through it, and enough interesting stuff is now happening that I can't wait to finish it to see what happens. I'm glad I stuck it out rather than quitting and returning it!

Slow, but important!

This wasn’t the most action packed part of the series, but it was all necessary. There are times when a character isn’t going to be constantly involved in action packed battles with Michael Bay level explosions. This book is all about setting up the closing of the loop.

It is still a great story!

It started slow but kept getting better

A great cliff-hanger of an ending. Can’t wait for the next installment. Also a great value for your money at 40 hours.

Book 8 and I'm still craving more

I love the writing style, the narration and the overall adventure that is in this literature. (spoiler) I have to say that this book was like every day in the life of...without the big bad to conquer. It's a nice pace for where we are in the series, so long as book 9 comes at us with more story through-line.

I'm glad to have found this series as I find the critical thinking skills and the methodology used by the character to be soothing and engaging.

more of a good thing

To this point in the story, we've seen much of King Halar, Magician Halar, Engineer/Physicist Halar... we haven't seen as much of his manual laborer side. Having a future he needs to attain, a clear path forward, and nothing stopping him except a whole lot of back breaking labor, what else is he supposed to do?

Will he meet his goals? What will he have to pay or give up in order to do so? And what about Sasha? Read on for answers - and even more questions!

It’s what you’ve been waiting for, but not all of it.

Very solid storyline but this was the most filler that the author has ever put out in one go. And not to spoil anything but the death of a beloved character happens here specifically for the convenience of the author not needing to tie them into the storyline. It works due to the immortal nature of the protagonist but it was a cheap way to get around a narrative barrier.
