    About this audiobook

    Peter Parker's life has hit a peaceful stretch. No evildoers have tried to flatten him in weeks, his marriage to Mary Jane is stronger than ever, and he's enjoying his job as a high-school science teacher. Life is good. Naturally, that doesn't last.

    When Peter learns that his old enemy, the Rhino, is on a rampage in Times Square, he suits up as Spider-Man to stop the destructive villain in his tracks. But he's unexpectedly foiled in his attempts by the Black Cat, a former ally and old flame. The Cat informs Peter that the Rhino is just a distraction - the real threat comes from a group of Ancients, members of the same race as the being called Morlun, who Spidey defeated in battle years earlier. The Ancients are now looking to exact revenge — and hope to steal Spider-Man's life force in the process.

    To defeat such powerful beings, Spider-Man is going to need all the help he can get, especially from the Black Cat. But what will Mary Jane Parker have to say about that? Peter isn't sure which is worse - the Ancients trying to drain his life force or the wrath of a jealous wife....

      As a huge Spider-Man fan and as someone who was interested in reading Jim Butcher’s work, I found this to be the perfect book to start with. I have not yet read “The Dresden Files”, although I am interested in doing so eventually. But I have to say he does a really good job writing this Spider-Man story. There’s nothing particularly grand about this book but this was certainly a fun read. The best thing about this book is how well Jim Butcher conveys Spider-Man’s distinctive voice. The book is presented from Spider-Man’s first-person perspective and, from the snarky inner monologues to the fast quips, Jim Butcher really shows how well he writes the iconic well-crawler.

      I have not read the Morlun storyline from the comics so I wasn’t familiar with some of the characters mentioned here that relate to that part. But you don't really need to be familiar with that storyline to enjoy the story since the book does a good job explaining those details to a first time reader. But I did like Jim Butcher’s use of other well-established characters like the Black Cat, the Rhino, and Mary Jane. In particular, I loved Peter Parker and Mary Jane’s dynamic. Jim Butcher portrays Mary Jane as a real three-dimensional character and in turn, their relationship is shown to be healthy while still having its struggles as to be expected when you’re married to a superhero whose life is threatened everyday. Heck, he even made the Rhino an intriguing character.

      In terms of critiques, I didn’t find the villains, the Ancients, particularly interesting. They served more as a physical threat to our heroes than the monstrous, intimidating figures they’re supposed to be presented as. Also, I felt the subplot of Peter Parker helping a high school basketball student, while definitely an appreciated element that helps ground Spider-Man within the New York community just like in the comics, to be the weakest part of the novel as I wasn’t really that invested in the basketball player as a character.

      Overall though, I found this book to be a really fun, enjoyable read that I would recommend any Spider-Man fan pick up.
