Audio Review // Key of Infinity by John French

We have reached the end of my Ahriman story collection, and today, we will finish an audio review. I will take a break from Ahriman for a month or two before diving back into the final story, but it has been a trip

As they interrogate the Necron Setekh, he also learns about them—over and over again, using ancient technology to relive the moment and plot his escape. Will he succeed, or will Ahriman prevail?

Review

For this adventure, we join Ahriman as he attempts to interrogate/learn about the Necrons and their ability to manipulate time. Somehow, Ahriman, Ignis and Credence have captured a Cryptek, hoping to discover its secrets. The only problem is the Necrons are an elder race and aren't easily caught. We watch as the Necron reuses his technology to attempt multiple escapes from his captors, not realizing that Ahriman is manipulating them to learn how to use its technology. But can a Necron indeed be tricked? Does the Necron know what Ahriman is attempting and is playing the Sorceror? I guess you need to listen to find out.

This short tale is only 18 minutes, but it is a great listen. It is narrator-heavy, with excellent acting, sound effects, and an interesting plot. I was genuinely surprised at the quality of this and highly recommend it!
