About this audiobook

Rats become the unlikely saviors of a man strapped beneath a scythe swinging in a measured descent. Just as the heated iron walls force him toward the central pit, a hand reaches out to snatch him from the brink of oblivion. The narrative is a high-octane engine of sensory deprivation and imminent physical pain.
