Publisher's summary

The world needed heroes.... It got them instead.

A swordsman past his prime who has vowed to never wield a blade again. A mage who'd rather throw fists than fireballs and thinks magic is for sissies. An assassin who grows sick at the sight of blood. And a man with a pet squirrel he believes to be an ancient god from long ago.

An evil has risen in the land, one that, if not dealt with, threatens to start a war which would include the gods themselves. To counter it, the realm must call on its greatest heroes, its most courageous adventurers. Unfortunately, those great heroes, those brave adventurers, are all busy - being dead mostly.

So it is left to Dannen Ateran, known in his youth as the Bloody Butcher, but more recently as the passed-out drunk at the table in the corner, to lead his companions against an army of the dead.

They are not heroes. But perhaps they just might do.

Fun book to listen too

This was a fun book to listen too. I found the character snarky and funny. Worth a try.

Diversity of non standard heros

I like the "Not perfect Heroes" could be said far from perfect. Vices & quirks make them more relatable.

Great Narration

Love love love Roger Clark’s voice! His narration is always excellent! Liked all the characters very much & the story… in general. However it was far too slow paced & took forever to get to the point along the way. It became a bit boring & repetitive. Too bad.

why I have audible

I love the sellsword series but I have to say these characters maybe even better. I listen to audible to hear a great story with awesome characters and dialogue in wich the the flawed good guy wins eventually. if I wanted to be preached to or receive a social lesson I'd get on tik tok or YouTube. If I wanted real drama and tragedy I'd watch the news. So this series is exactly why I have audible.

Great start!

It's been a long time since I've laughed out loud while listening to an audiobook. Felt good. Excellent narration! Looking forward to the next two books.

When you are searching high and low for a great story line and a book that has some comedy!! Here it is..

So here lately I have been looking for a book that has a great story line but has a humor “comedy” written in to it.. Well this series is what I have been looking for, not only is a great Arthur but a great narrator to bring out the characters and bring that feeling to this audio book… A great start to a series, now on to the next.

This is the book for you if you have heard them all!

What a gem! Author and narrator are really good. Fresh take on the quest story line. Everyone refuses to be good at what they are good at! " Get the book you won't regret it!
