A lot of writers can write an exiting novel, but very few have such a superb command of English. I love the English, Chaim Hi I am listening to this book at present.

Three cheers and kudos for Myke's powerful, imaginative, fantastically original story. There is nothing off-the-shelf here, nothing but a new and enthralling take on the everyday here-and-now, but with such twists! Amid and amongst us is a dark and dysfunctional society, which can see ours, but we don't realize they are everywhere. Brilliant! Myke engages us in this tale for the control of existence fought beneath our noses. The narrative voices are spot-on for the characters, consistent, and vary enough to make this seem like a fullcast production. The audio ( from 2006!) is a bit rough at first, but any issues are quickly forgotten as we are swept along crisis to disaster, as the action builds. Music is subtle and a perfect mix. The website supplies cutting-edge artwork to help paint the proper picture. As you can tell, I am most impressed with this journeyman effort. Myke, please hurry up with more from Salmon and Dusk!

It seems to be carrying on torrid affairs with both Douglas Adams's Dirk Gently and Neil Gaiman's "Neverwhere," and that is a wonderful thing. I was absolutely hooked by "She was wearing a life with someone else's name on the tag, itching at her neck." The writing is superb. More, almost perfectly produced and published. I love it.

Theo, Kilby and Nero are wonderfully quirky characters drawn from life's seamy underbelly out into the light of day. Still not sure how all will turn out. Love this book! So glad there's more from this author available on podiobooks. Good job, Myke! Nearing the end of the story now, and am thoroughly enjoying each chapter.

Getting a print copy of this work would be about the best thing I could think of. I seriously make CD's of HtDC and give them to anyone who is remotely interested in an audiobook. I force it on those that I must... and they always thank me! ;) You won't regret any moments spent with Kilbey, Theo, and Nero. I promise you that.

Myke Bartlett has his own fascinating take on it. It's fun to dive deeper and deeper into his cosmic plot, to discover where all the conflict and action are coming from. This book has an incredibly wide canvas, sprawling all over several epochs of London and its surrounds. It has four fascinating main characters, and a memorable supporting cast. And the locales Myke describes come to life on their own. How do you make time trvel work in fiction, anyway? Myke Bartlett has his own fascinating take on it.

I liked that side of it a lot, what I did not really like was that I felt no real feelings towards any of the characters by 10 chapters in. I didnt seem to care too much what would happen to any of them. I also found that not knowing quite exactly what was going on by 10 chapters in was quite irritating. Afraid to say that at this point I reluctantly gave up and moved on to something else.... I am sure if I had carried on with it these things would have changed, but there was not quite enough to hold my interest.Though I expect I will come back to this one eventually as I do want to know what happens.

Myke Bartlett has created a story that is strange and epic in scope. The prose is both profound and easy to understand. I would like to give this book a rating of 25 stars if I could. this is one of THE BEST podiobooks I have listened to since I was introduced to the medium.

I love the way the story weaves in and out and events overlap. Myke Bartlett has one of the sexiest voices in podcasting and the talent of a great writer (not listed in order of importance ;). I also noticed some correlation in the foundation of HtDC and Neil Gaiman's novel Neverwhere but Myke took his story to places Neil never did. They were merely in neighboring zip codes. Regardless of the influence of other authors, this podiobook is a unique and imaginative work that deserves all of the praise it has received. I usually listen to podcasts while I'm at work doing the mindless stuff like filing and data entry. HtDC had me so engrossed I had my headphones on all day and I let the work I had to put thought into pile up so I wouldn't have to stop listening. (don't tell my boss). Myke, I'd like to read or listen to many more stories of yours, but take your time getting turning them out or I might just get sacked. This IS my favourite podcast.
