He Drank, and Saw the Spider

Eddie LaCrosse, Book 5

By: Alex Bledsoe

Narrated by: Stefan Rudnicki

Alex Bledsoe continues the adventures of freelance sword jockey Eddie LaCrosse in the thrilling He Drank, and Saw the Spider.

After he fails to save a stranger from being mauled to death by a bear, a young mercenary is saddled with the baby girl the man died to protect. He leaves her with a kindly shepherd family and goes on with his violent life.

Now, 16 years later, that young mercenary has grown up to become cynical sword jockey Eddie LaCrosse. When his vacation travels bring him back to that same part of the world, he can't resist trying to discover what has become of the mysterious infant.

He finds that the child, now a lovely young teenager named Isadora, is at the center of a complicated web of intrigue involving two feuding kings, a smitten prince, a powerful sorceress, an inhuman monster, and long-buried secrets too shocking to imagine. And once again she needs his help.

They say a spider in your cup will poison you but only if you see it. Eddie, helped by his smart, resourceful girlfriend Liz, must look through the dregs of the past to find the truth about the present - and risk what might happen if he, too, sees the spider.

Awesome

This was extremely well written. I did it in 2 days. Exciting action packed book.

Mystery, metaphors, magic!

Once again LaCrosse has to find the correct string to pull to untangle a mystery covered up by magic. All metaphors aside, there really is magic, monsters are real, and kings can drive themselves crazy.

another great story

another great story! it had everything you might want; adventure, love, death, action and drama! can't wait for the next story in the Eddie lacrosse series!!!

Funny, intelligent and read by the best!

I have listened to the entire series back to back with as little down time as I could manage. Stefan Rudnicki’s voice is deep and buttery. The stories of Eddie the Sword Jockeys adventures will keep you laughing and begging for more. The mysteries are engrossing and hilarious or and plenty of swash buckling for the guys. Well done Alex Bledsoe!

Narrator

I listened just because of the narrator Stefan Rudniki, but the books were entertaining.
