This Sequel's Apocalypse Scenario Gets WORSE!

from Fantasy for the Ages Hosted by Jim Scriven

What happens when an already wild apocalypse story decides to crank everything up to eleven? You get Devils Desk 2… and let me just say — this thing ESCALATES. We’re talking impossible situations, relentless danger, bizarre twists… and yes… a whole mess of yetis. Because of course we are. In today’s episode of Fantasy for the Ages, I’m diving into the sequel to one of the most unique entries in the Michael Talbot universe by Mark Tufo. If you’ve read the first Devils Desk, you already know things get weird — but book two? It takes that weirdness and launches it straight into chaos. ⸻ 📚 What You’ll Get in This Video: • A spoiler-lite review of Devils Desk 2 • Why this sequel ramps up the stakes in a BIG way • What makes this one feel different from other Talbot stories • Who this book is PERFECT for (and who should probably skip it… for now) • Why the audiobook, narrated by Sean Runnette, might be the BEST way to experience Tufo ⸻ ⚠️ Quick Heads Up: This is not a starting point. You’ll absolutely want to read Devils Desk first — and honestly, the more Michael Talbot books you’ve read, the better this experience is going to be. ⸻ 💬 Let’s Talk: Have you read Devils Desk 2 yet?
