In A Brief History of Seven Killings, Marlon James combines brilliant storytelling with his unrivaled skills of characterization and meticulous eye for detail to forge an enthralling novel of dazzling ambition and scope.
On December 3, 1976, just before the Jamaican general election and two days before Bob Marley was to play the Smile Jamaica Concert to ease political tensions in Kingston, seven gunmen stormed the singer’s house, machine guns blazing. The attack wounded Marley, his wife, and his manager, and injured several others. Little was officially released about the gunmen, but much has been whispered, gossiped and sung about in the streets of West Kingston. Rumors abound regarding the assassins’ fates, and there are suspicions that the attack was politically motivated.
A Brief History of Seven Killings delves deep into that dangerous and unstable time in Jamaica’s history and beyond. James deftly chronicles the lives of a host of unforgettable characters – gunmen, drug dealers, one-night stands, CIA agents, even ghosts – over the course of thirty years as they roam the streets of 1970s Kingston, dominate the crack houses of 1980s New York, and ultimately reemerge into the radically altered Jamaica of the 1990s. Along the way, they learn that evil does indeed cast long shadows, that justice and retribution are inextricably linked, and that no one can truly escape his fate.
Gripping and inventive, shocking and irresistible, A Brief History of Seven Killings is a mesmerizing modern classic of power, mystery, and insight.

Thank you so much.

This book was absolutely terrific! It’s a bit tough at first. There’s a lot of Jamaican slang, and much of it is read in a Jamaican accent; it requires a bit of work from the reader/listener at first, but it’s very good. There’s seven different narrators, 25-hours long IIRC. It’s a total freaking masterpiece.

Thanks for the effort - but way too much cracling
October 21st, 2015
Too much static. Painful to listen to.
November 14th, 2015
Its 3 files and after the last one it says that it is not the ending of the book just a part. So am I missing something?
November 14th, 2015
I believe the files are incorrectly numbered, as far as I can tell 1=3, 2=1 & 3=2; but best check the text. Kinda infuriating, since though brilliant I’m not sure I want to listen to it again in the correct order…

I agree with nomad24. The files are incorrectly numbered. 3=1, 2=2, 1=3. It was very difficult to follow it in the wrong order. Great book!
December 13th, 2015
so is it 2, 3, 1 or 3, 2, 1?
January 5th, 2016
Track 3 is the start of the book.
February 3rd, 2016
Checked with the printed version.
file marked 3 of 3 = 1
file marked 2 of 3 = 2
file marked 1 of 3 = 3

Hey, so the original order was totally right…. I changed it based on the comments and then looked at my ebook for reference. Original order is A-OK
April 30th, 2016
I’m pretty sure I downloaded this after the last comment, so it’s worth pointing out that the order is still not right. Marwan’s reordering was correct.
file marked 3 of 3 = 1
file marked 2 of 3 = 2
file marked 1 of 3 = 3
I should have checked against an epub just to be sure, because I’ve just finished the book in the wrong order.

Wish I’d read these comments first as I was waaaay confused when I got to the end od file 3…
Definitely an order problem and, as others have noted, the book is too long to start over and read in the correct order. Ah, well…it was still a v cool experience!
March 16th, 2017
yes:
*** The Order is Incorrect ***
as per ’steve’
file #3 should be 1 and listened to first
file #2 is 2
file #1 should be 3 and listened to last
You can get a PDF off the internet to check, but, yes, the order is incorrect.
Also, the sound quality is fine… but with annoying ‘blips’
