Jubal Van Zandt #1-3

by Eden Hudson

Buy the first three novels in the Jubal van Zandt series and save over 30%!Narcissist, sociopath, and shameless backstabber Jubal Van Zandt is the best damn thief in the history of the Revived Earth...and he won't shut up about it.

But not everybody in the swampy, soggy, feudal future approves of Jubal's vocation. The Guild—the religious fanatics who helped rebuild civilization after the collapse—in particular are waiting for their opportunity to slip the noose around his neck.

Which is why when the renowned Guild knight Carina Xiao—a.k.a. the Bloodslinger—contacts Jubal about an off-the-books job that violates Guild Law, he's too intrigued to say no. He is the best damn thief in the history of the Revived Earth, after all.

Part bizarro ecopunk, part outworld thriller, part odd-couple roadtrip, Jubal Van Zandt & the Revenge of the Bloodslinger is a 150% futurepunk quest for blood and betrayal across the Revived Earth.

About the author

I am being forced against my will by Goodreads to have a capital E at the beginning of my name, even though the correct spelling is "eden." So there's that.

But also . . .

I am invincible. I am a mutant. I have 3 hearts and was born with no eyes. I had eyes implanted later. I didn't have hands, either, just stumps. When my eyes were implanted they asked if I would like hands as well and I said, "Yes, I'll take those," and pointed with my stump. But sometimes I'm a hellbender peeking out from under a rock. When it rains, I live in a music box.

But I'm also a tattoo addict, coffee junkie, drummer, and aspiring skateboarder. Jesus actually is my homeboy.

[L.T. Vargus · Rating 5 out of 5]

The world of Jubal van Zandt is one weird, action-packed, cyberpunk adventure. This was me second read-through, and I loved every freaking word just as much as the first time. Jubal is the kind of character that seems like a total dickhead at first (or should I say eelfucker?), but the more you read, the more you love him and wish he'd show up on your doorstep and teach you how to execute the perfect finger gun maneuver. Because secretly, he isn't as horrible as he thinks he is.

This is easily the funniest series of books I've ever read. I probably would have finished sooner, but I had to keep taking breaks to wipe the tears from my eyes because I was laughing so hard. The second reading was only enhanced by the voice talents of Pavi Proczko, who narrated the audiobook.

I can't wait for the rest of the series to be available in audio.

I struggled a bit with this one as i found the story with Van Zandt a bit too egotistical for my taste although written well with a few witty retorts to keep me going on. Book 1 was about 3 stars but as this was a trilogy and narration by Proczko was done very well i carried on as usually Hudsons eork is very good. By book 2 however the characters were more engaging and I found myself more interested, and it picked up more by book 3 to where i actually got book 4 as I was left feeling i needed to know more and no more audios were available. A bit of a mixed bag but overall 4 stars and some may find this better than I found
