Publisher's summary

I was only 27 and I already felt like my life was over. Then I fell asleep in statistics class and all hell broke loose.

I've been summoned to a world completely unlike my own. Elves and monster girls roam the streets. Complicating matters, a powerful race of demon called the Vrag have invaded Telos, and somehow I've been put in charge of protecting two princesses from all manner of mayhem.

The old Cal couldn't handle this. But when I stumbled through the dream portal, I became something more.

I'm no longer Cal Newhart, divorced college student and ex-marine. Now I'm the Paladin, a supernatural knight of legend.

It's not going to be easy. But with most of the male population withered away, someone will have to defeat the Vrag and repopulate Telos.

I've got a wild ride ahead of me.

Good beginning

Fun story with an MC who has to learn about the roll he’s been cast into. Definitely interested to see how the story progresses.

Great narration duo as well.

his voice hits worce as it goes

The Male narrator is at least twice as painful to listen to as you th think he will be whin hearing the sample. i might have been able to enjoy this book if it had a good narrator or the girl read th hr whole book. it's a campy book but I can dig that but the dudes voice.

Excellent narration of course

Fun book and great narration by actors everywhere. a
A bit of a jump in start, but it gets sorted out quickly enough to enjoy it fully.

Story good, but..

Author needs to learn how to express conversations using words other than "he said, she said, I said, they said ".

Good book, annoying narration.

The story is interesting enough to be enjoyable. the bad part is the male narrator. He makes the MC sound incredibly whiney and sometimes just makes weird choices that don't really fit what's written. The MC seems on the verge of craping himself or crying. It's incredibly annoying. The female narrator did a good job.

Great start.

I liked the story a lot. Great action and sexy stuff.
Marcus seemed a little whiny at times but it didn’t make it suck for me anyway.
I will definitely read/listen to book 2.

Poor narration

The narration was just awful in my opinion, at some points the male narrator even sounded as though they were mocking the material and wow is it hard to enjoy any story with both poor narration and a mocking tone. The female voice did fine but I'm just not going to continue this in audio form with the main narration as it was.

"Paladin"

I love the intro! Was the first time for me experiencing it this way, really nice touch.

Summoning a fully armed paladin, ready to fight. .
We learn about what he can do with him, since he has no clue either.

The world building is very interesting.

I am becoming a fan of Sarah Goldstein, the narration was very enjoyable.
Marcus Jahn was a tad too whiny for my taste, but maybe that was intended for the character.
The dual narration adds a lot, as always.
