Publisher's summary

BOOK 3 IN THE IRON DRUID CHRONICLES

Thor, the Norse god of thunder, is worse than a blowhard and a bully - he’s ruined countless lives and killed scores of innocents. After centuries, Viking vampire Leif Helgarson is ready to get his vengeance, and he’s asked his friend Atticus O’Sullivan, the last of the Druids, to help take down this Norse nightmare.

One survival strategy has worked for Atticus for more than two thousand years: stay away from the guy with the lightning bolts. But things are heating up in Atticus’s home base of Tempe, Arizona. There’s a vampire turf war brewing, and Russian demon hunters who call themselves the Hammers of God are running rampant. Despite multiple warnings and portents of dire consequences, Atticus and Leif journey to the Norse plain of Asgard, where they team up with a werewolf, a sorcerer, and an army of frost giants for an epic showdown against vicious Valkyries, angry gods, and the hammer-wielding Thunder Thug himself.

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

Love this Series

This is the fourth Iron Druid Audiobook I have listened to and they have all been great fun. The reader, whose name slips my mind as I write this, is the best I have heard and the author is a wonderful teller of tales, extremely witty and very well-informed on all things immortal, especially the all too numerous gods. My favorite character is Oberon, an extremely lovable wolfhound who communicates with his Druid Master telepathically.

Bacon Latte!

I've just started listening to Hammered and just like the first two books, I have to watch myself at work from laughing out loud or snorting. The narration of the various characters are on par in my view, especially Oberon with his obsession of French poodles and love of sausages.

"Out of the steam, the foam and the froth a man in white with poor eyesight will craft a liquid paradox and it shall be called: The triple non-fat double bacon fried cheese mocha!"

Good gap filler

Ever wonder why Thor is so hated and how many of the characters came to be? Well the answers await. This book changes everything for the Iron Druid.

Mostly fantastic

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. The story is fun, fast paced, with plenty of rich characters.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Atticus. I love his sarcastic nature.

Did Luke Daniels do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

For the most part, Mr. Daniels did a great job. My only issue with his interpretation of the characters was with Oberon; I was not a fan. When reading the book Oberon is intelligent and witty, even if he is a little silly at times. The Scooby-doo-esq voice of Oberon done by Mr. Daniels really takes away from the character's wonderful personality.

Best one yet!

I enjoyed the first two but this one was my favorite so far. I'm definitely finishing the series.

The narrator does a great job.

Love this series

Would you consider the audio edition of Hammered to be better than the print version?

I have not read the print version but I can't imagine the characters coming to life any better in that format than by Luke Daniels storytelling talent. He is amazing in his delivery of each of the IDC books.

What did you like best about this story?

The thing I like the best and also the thing I did not like the best was the ending of this story. It ends abruptly (like a cliffhanger) and left me hopeful the story will continue but not being able to see where it might go next.

What about Luke Daniels’s performance did you like?

Luke Daniels made the Iron Druid characters jump off the page. The books are written with a great deal of humor and intelligence and Luke Daniels was the perfect fit for the author's talented writing.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I enjoyed several laugh out loud while driving moments.

Great Book can't wait for more

My son (15) and I are road trippers and love to do books on the road. Great when we find a book we both LOVE and actually hang out in garage to finish a chapter together. Lots of humor and action and semi educational on mythology. A winning combo all around
