A World Without Heroes

By: Brandon Mull

Narrated by: Jeremy Bobb

Jason Walker has often wished his life could be a bit less predictable - until a routine day at the zoo ends with Jason suddenly transporting from the hippo tank to a place unlike anything he's ever seen. In the past, the people of Lyrian welcomed visitors from the Beyond, but attitudes have changed since the wizard emperor Maldor rose to power. The brave resistors who opposed the emperor have been bought off or broken, leaving a realm where fear and suspicion prevail.

In his search for a way home, Jason meets Rachel, who was also mysteriously drawn to Lyrian from our world. With the help of a few scattered rebels, Jason and Rachel become entangled in a quest to piece together the word of power that can destroy the emperor, and learn that their best hope to find a way home will be to save this world without heroes.

More Please!

I've been a fan of Brandon Mull's Fablehaven series and after reading his first book of the Beyonders series I'm hooked again. If you are looking for a family friendly fantacy tale to get lost in, then you've found the perfect author. Audible- please add Fablehaven to your repertoire-your listeners won't regret it and neither will you.

Absolutely marvelous! MUST read all 3 books!

I enjoyed the first book VERY much, but the 2nd is where I began to fully and totally be spellbound and mesmerized by Brandon Mull. I read Brandon Sanderson's novels as fast as he can churn them out, but I think that THIS Brandon (Brandon Mull) takes 1st place in my book (for fantasy writers) for young-adult fantasy. There are still some amazing battles, blood, and gore, for those "fearing" that the Beyonders series is too PG. Trust me, please, for your OWN benefit. This series is absolutely TOP TIER!

Exciting new world!

I didn't read the reviews for the book or anything about the story before getting this book. The book just appealed to me. The main characters are teens but that didn't deter me from listening to the whole book. It is a well-written story and even though I'm an adult I thoroughly enjoyed it! No foul language, no naked scenes, just a good book. Hope you enjoy it!

Overall mesmerizing

Word play and descriptions are allowed to dance around in your head while you live through the story!

amazing book

it is a must read. Thrilling read each page a page turner. definitely read.

Awesome Book

I love this book. I’ve read it and listened to it multiple times. The plot is fascinating and there’s plenty of action to keep things interesting. Brandon Mull does a nice job of character development and describing scenery and context, so you can really envision and understand what is going on.

Awesome as expected!

I love Brandon Mull books, and though I usually dont enjoy audio readings, this performance was well done. I loved every moment.

LOVE IT!!!!

What did you love best about A World Without Heroes?

I love this book and highly recommend the series to anyone who loves classic adventure fantasy.

Great Series!

This is a very entertaining series. You will want to continue on to the next book as soon as this one is over.

Great Story Butt....

Where does A World Without Heroes rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

probably the worst audio I have listened to so far

What did you like best about this story?

The Story was creative and intriguing. I am curious to see how the fall of the wizard actually happens.

Would you be willing to try another one of Jeremy Bobb’s performances?

I did not Like Jeremy Bobbs performance here. I like him in Money:Master the Game by Toni Robins but not this. Too many characters for him and he doesn't connect emotionally to the writing. When an emphatic NO!! should be used, he casually says no. Its that way through the whole book and there is no distinction really between characters personalities. Hard to know whos talking because every character except Theron is exactly the same.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Sometimes the simplest heroes are the ones who don't think they are.
