Holy crap so hard not to be THAT spoilerbitch!!
Read this book!! Seriously, the is my 14th favourite book-nah, jes playing. This is my 1st favourite book in this series. Yah, I know, weird but read the damnbly great thing and you will see why!! I think I have a new favourite character and I WANT BOOK 5 NOW!!!! Mark, John....for all that is holy or unholy, doesn't matter a zombie's/night runner's left nut who you worship, give us some luv and book 5 at the same time!! Mark, you are my 1st fav male author and John, you are in the top 5. Plz gentlemen, pull your power as favourite authors out to get the next 10 books out, once a month would be great, k? Bye. Really, thank you guys...awesome wonderfully great book.
Fantastic!
Seriously, after the last book left us on that cliff hanger I wanted to strangle Mark & John for doing that to us, but this book came back with a bang! I'm a huge fan of both of their individual series and I love having Mike Talbot & Jack Walker together. The story line is seamless, the two characters play so well off each other, they were made to be in books together. So I'm super happy with this series. These books never lead you where you think you're headed and that's the fun. I highly recommend picking up the Zombie Fallout & A New World Series, (they're both great) but they also add some depth to this series as background information as to what each character has been fighting in their own worlds. I don't do spoilers, so none here. Just pick this book and the rest of this series up already! Thanks again Mark & John for another fantastic ride. Now get to writing book 5 already!!!
A well written horror/adventure
The collaboration of 2 authors who excel in their field, with writing styles almost 180 degrees apart, becomes a great series. The authors have teamed up their readers' favorite characters; O’Brien’s, Jack Walker and Tufo's, Mike Talbot. Having become separated they meet up again, together creating a formidable team. Talbot’s peculiar and offbeat friend Tripp is the icing on the cake. A most unusual and unique horror story. Perfect.
Meta-Information about my favorite book series....
Who the Hell is Trip really? Why again is Talbot kicked back and forth through the Realities? Will the intrepid Jack Walker ever again see his family or just pale copies... An extra in-depth look at the meta-reality encompasing Tufo's and O'Brien's worlds that is sure to entertain. That being mentioned it is the 4th book and will be very confusing if you don't read the first 3 Shrouded World books. A great read with all the elements fans of both authors are expecting.
Another great book by the duo.
This collaboration between Mark Tofu and John Obrien is addicting for me. The 5th book is coming hopefully and we can continue Jack, Trip and Mike's journey. Will Jack get home? Now having read Jack's story in New World I'm not sure that's a good idea. Action, adventure, stress, elation at the wins, and fear of the unknown. Love this series.
Love Tufo
Michael Talbot/Mark Tufo are never a disappointment. From the moment I picked up one of his books, I have not been able to stop reading his work. He is funny, kind, thoughtful, generous to his readers and loyal fans. Read this book; read this series. Follow Mark Tufo.
left wanting more
It was great having Mike, Trip, and John back together again. There were so many unanswered questions at the end of the last book. Some were answered, yet more questions are left. This has got to be the best of the series to date. I felt for Jack on many levels when he arrived in Vahalla. Mike and Trip have found Jack, and made some new friends along the way. Too many questions left unanswered. Cannot wait for the continuing saga. Excellent book!!!!
Definitely a Must Read!
GREAT JOB MARK TUFO AND JOHN O'BRIEN! I kept seeing all these reviews for A Shrouded World, so decided to see what all the fuss is about. I was definitely not disappointed at all. I read books 1-4 of this series this weekend and I had a very difficult time putting down. I recommend Mark Tufo and John O'Brien to all that I talk to :-) Side Note: You 2 are killing me with the cliffhanger on Valhalla!
10 Stars!!!
I was so excited when I realized this had been released! Of course I have not been able to put it down since I started reading it. Like every other book by these 2 authors, this one was amazing! I love both characters and the switching narrative between the 2 of them is awesome. Keep writing and hurry up with book 5!
The Real Curmudgeon Review
Pretty good book. Our heroes are in over their heads in the various worlds they flicker in and out of. The mystery of Trip and his strange ways start to get explained as well as the many creatures they have encountered. This book sets the stage for the next. Enjoy!

tween awesome action.Mark Tufo keeps the story tight ,not a lot of conversation b
1/2 vampire marine fighting zombies, transports to other realities at the whim of a stoner. Joined by Jack, pulled away from his world of whistlers, who he can track because he got scratched by one. He's also an airman sniper, which comes in handy
Awesome!
Mark and John are great stand alone authors, but put them together and there is fireworks! The only bad thing about the book is that it came to an end too soon. The next book in this series can't come soon enough. I highly recommend both authors
Excellent! Enough said!
I loved this book so much! It was great to "see" Jack & Mike, and especially Trip, back together again. So many emotions with this one that had me cursing the authors, in a good way of course! I cant wait for the next one!
Spellbinding!!
I couldn’t put this book down. The next book in this series needs to come out now! I love how these two great authors work together to bring their readers such a good series. I want more!!
Another addictive Mike Talbot story
I LOVE anything Mike Talbot. His wise cracking chivalry takes him thru book after book that I race to finish. All of these characters are so well developed. You root for everyone and the only downside is when you get to the last page. I’ve read all the different series do now, once again I gotta wait for a new book. Damn.
Good book
Another adventure for Mike, Trip, and Jack. They met new friends and some of them survived. What happens next? I will move to the next book to find out.
Mark and John are like peas and carrots
It’s sometimes hard to read these books because the writing style from two of my favorite authors is so different but believe me it works. I am hooked and hope they continue this awesome collaboration.....
Good read...
Still good The writing style has changEd some. But still hooked to the story line. Have know what happens to Mike and more importantly jack.
Excellent
This installment was very exciting. New enemies and new friends are brought into the mix. I can't wait to start the next one.
Lite on phritos
More Jack? Sure, lol. Demons? Why not? Just when you thought those maniacs have seen it all John and Mark go and kick it up another notch. You keep writing them and I'll keep buying.
More addicting than Chocolate!!
If you are looking for a great series of books Mark Tufo is your guy! My husband, not a reader at all, bugs me to hurry up so he can read them! I found these books after reading Dust, another great series, as it was recommended by another reader.
A Shrouded World 4
A terrific entry in the Jack Walker and Michael Talbot tale. I love both writer's individual books, and the combination stories definitely live up to my expectations. Can't wait for the next one!
Love this guy!!
Love this author's work. He is so damn funny and entertaining. His work has kept me up many nights because I just couldnt put his books down!!
A TALE OF WEIRDNESS IT IS.....
Hello, this story was good but not as good as the others because it didn't have enough "Trip and Talbot" time. I'm sorry to say, but Tufo is the reason I'm reading the story. Thanks.
Funny and exciting
As usual Tufo delivers with the wonderful and sarcastic wit he gives his characters. O'Brien also delivers with his well fleshed out characters. I love reading both authors.
Another amazing addition to the series!
This series just gets better with each book. The way the authors' characters play off each other, even when they're separated, is fantastic and the cliffhanger leaves you dying for more!
Love the Series
Once I start reading these I cant stop,. so interesting and so much, fun characters that come together flawless, keep it up cant wait for the next as always. Both authors Rock, for those who never read their individual works must check them out.
You're killing me!!!
This series just gets better and better. Once started I couldn't put it down I'll wait patiently for the next one please hurry. Hahahaha
Love it. Can't wait for the next installment
Another fun roller coaster ride. Both authors add to the story with their own unique style. Love the twists and turns.
Another realm for Mike Talbot, Trip and Jack Walker
Great reading. Kept my interest. I hate and like the ending. I’m glad I have the next book to read.
Mnnnn..
Well, I really didn't see a lot of that coming, so it was a stunner and I really can't wait to see how this will play out with the demon, Jack, Mike & Trip. But they are always a good read..
Love the team up
Always a great time reading their book. When these two come together they make an amazing book. Please guys hurry up and make more.
Loved it, need more!
These 2 authors are fantastic, but if you are reading this review on the 4th book in this series you likely already know that! I can't wait for the next one
Knocked it outta the park again boys
Another great book. But I wish it was longer. Your imaginations are phenominal. Some of the imagery you describe is just awesome, although I could do with out some of the visuals. Can't wait for the next installment!!!!
Love this Series!
Fantastic series by two of the best; Tufo and O’Brien! Can’t help but get attached to the characters, especially Trip (who we now learn is so much more than he first appeared). I’m already holding my breath for #5!
Rambling
Had trouble keeping track of the story. Seemed disjointed and disconnected at times. I generally have only raves for Mark Rico, but not this time.
amazing
Great book. My only problem was I thought I missed something when jack and trip started arguing about how it was all trip and his friends fault. I had to go to the last zombie fallout book and it still made no sense but I'm guessing will be answered in the next book.
Amazing
Wow! These are 2 of my favorite authors, so the collaboration makes it that much better. Cant wait for the next one
Highly Recommended
Enjoyed the heck out of it. Couldn’t put it down. Trip of course is a trip but seemed more functional in this one. I love him.
Collaboration at its best!!!
Both fantastic writers keep you turning the pages in absolute delight and wonder... until the cliffhanger then we want more!!!
Couldn’t put it down!
This is a fast paced adventure. The world created by the authors was crazy fun and just kept surprising me! I enjoyed it very much.
Happyreader
Weird is nowhere close to the right word! Great, inventive, scary, etc. This is epic. It just keeps getting better.
Glorious!
Love love love! I read all of mark Tufos books and not only are they amazing but I just can’t put them down! Valhalla is a continuation of his co written series with O’Brien and those two have outdone themselves!! Bravo!
Good stuff!
Good stuff!
5 stars all the way!!
Just like to say, what the heck guys. I was left hanging again. Great job, love it! Waiting for 5!
Great Read
Once I started reading I couldn't put it down! I've missed Jack, Mike and Trip. Can't wait for book 5.
Wow! Awesome book!
I need more! I binge read the whole series. Awesome series. It has humor and action. Can't wait for book 5!
An interesting continue to read
Wasn't sure where the story would pick up after the last book but not necessarily disappointed, looking forward to the next book.
Must read
This was my favorite out of the series so far. I can’t wait for the next book because I was left with a big cliffhanger.
Best one yet!
Best book of this series. Love everything but "spoiler alert" ends...well leaving me yelling Nooo!! I need the next book...like now!
Love the Series
Book is a good as expected.
Great book
As come to be expected, this is another great book.
A must read!
Two of the great genre authors teaming up for a fourth time. What else can you ask for? The next book now! :)
Awesome read! You two are great together!
A absolutely love the book when will the next one be coming out! I am excited because Mike Talbot is in this book also and I just love Mike Talbot!
Love
Love Mark Tufo.!! Can't get enough of his Talbot series!! I highly recommend
Dynamic duo.
It just keeps on giving!
Great read
Love this series.
Love Tufo
“Trippy”
Fun and fast paced
I cant get enough, and "what a twist. I cant wait to dig into the next one. Bravo Zulu Gentlemen!
Got my fix of Alternate Dimensions/Worlds and more.
Another place, another time, the world or worlds are a changin’. Keep seeing double in this one. Always bringing trouble to the world’s they visit, the three troopers navigate a seemingly quiet place, meet people you’ve known and even a very tall one that scares the daylights out of you. Jack’s mind is thrown for a loop in this one. For every secret that you learn two or three take it’s place. Einstein would have loved this series, so many twists and turns. Mike is his usual self, trying to make sense of Trip, and give his normal advice with some sarcasm. Wouldn’t miss these for the world…or worlds in this case. Whistle while you work…
Suspense at every turn
By far one of the best in the series. Here we learn a lot about Trip's nature and some of the mysteries around the people of The Shrouded World. Old and new friends appear, and if you have read A New World series, with a twist. Worth every penny and highly recommend.
