The Vagrant

De: Peter Newman

Narrado por: Jot Davies

The Vagrant is his name. He has no other.

Years have passed since humanity’s destruction emerged from the Breach.

Friendless and alone he walks across a desolate, war-torn landscape.

As each day passes the world tumbles further into depravity, bent and twisted by the new order, corrupted by the Usurper, the enemy, and his infernal horde.

His purpose is to reach the Shining City, last bastion of the human race, and deliver the only weapon that may make a difference in the ongoing war.

What little hope remains is dying. Abandoned by its leader, The Seven, and its heroes, The Seraph Knights, the last defences of a once great civilisation are crumbling into dust.

But the Shining City is far away and the world is a very dangerous place.

Reseñas de la Crítica

★★★★★ 'For fans of classic science-fiction literature, this is a must-read.' – SciFi Now

★★★★ 'Come visit this brilliantly imaginative land of winged swords and broken solar cells.' – SFX

‘The Vagrant is a joy to read: an original and engrossing world, a strong story and a protagonist who is intensely charismatic despite – or because of – his silence. Newman’s debut is written with confidence, flair and imagination, bringing his dark world to marvellously macabre life’
Adrian Tchaikovsky, Author of Shadows of the Apt series

‘A stunning and ambitious debut novel set in a unique and imaginative world where the only hope rests on the capacity of human beings to love’ Melinda M. Snodgrass

Great Story Takes a While to Make Sense

Overall this is a great story, in the beginning it took a while for it to start making sense and have the context needed.
But I am definitely glad I finished it. The quality is the story telling as the Vagrant journeys to The Seven is excellent. I will definitely be looking at more from this author.

Love the Goat

Best character: the goat. Honorable mention goes to Vesper. Excellent story, when all's told. Bravo.

Mediocre

It didn’t have that great of a story in my opinion and it didn’t give much background. Overall it was a very boring book in my opinion.

An inspiring tale with real heroes

This is not a tale that has hero’s in it who are to best summed up like Dragon Ball Z Characters. This is a story that when all said in done was a breath of fresh air in Fantasy. The author has captured something in their world building and character building that makes me connect with them as they live in a world that has ended. Only draw back on the story you have to listen 100% or you will get lost

Hated the performance

The way the reader talks is frustrating, it's like a constant pausing for dramatic effect! I did enjoy the story quite a lot. Wish I would've read it instead of listened to it.
