Hounded

The Iron Druid Chronicles, Book 1

De: Kevin Hearne

Narrado por: Luke Daniels

The first novel in the Iron Druid Chronicles - introducing a cool, new, funny urban fantasy hero

Atticus O’Sullivan, last of the Druids, lives peacefully in Arizona, running an occult bookshop and shape-shifting in his spare time to hunt with his Irish wolfhound. His neighbors and customers think that this handsome, tattooed Irish dude is about twenty-one years old - when in actuality, he’s twenty-one centuries old. Not to mention: He draws his power from the earth, possesses a sharp wit, and wields an even sharper magical sword known as Fragarach, the Answerer.

Unfortunately, a very angry Celtic god wants that sword, and he’s hounded Atticus for centuries. Now the determined deity has tracked him down, and Atticus will need all his power - plus the help of a seductive goddess of death, his vampire and werewolf team of attorneys, a bartender possessed by a Hindu witch, and some good old-fashioned luck of the Irish - to kick some Celtic arse and deliver himself from evil.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Hearne, a self-professed comic-book nerd, has turned his love of awesome dudes whacking mightily at evil villains into a superb urban fantasy debut.” (Publishers Weekly)

“A page-turning and often laugh-out-loud funny caper through a mix of the modern and the mythic.” (Ari Marmell, author of The Warlord’s Legacy)

“Kevin Hearne breathes new life into old myths, creating a world both eerily familiar and startlingly original.” (Nicole Peeler, author of Tempest Rising)

Couldn't put it down!

This book was great. I especially enjoyed the relationship between Atticus and Oberon. The whole thing was action-packed and full of bitingly witty banter between characters. Definitely worth my time.

$6.99 What a deal!!!!

I paid one of my credits, but it was worth it! Now it is an even better buy! I normally lean toward sci-fy but I have to say I really enjoyed the characters in this series. And Luke Daniels is the right narrator for this book. If you are looking for something different and fun then you will want to pick up this series.

Do yourself and favor and listen to this!

A total romp from beginning to end. My assistant and I laughed out loud all afternoon. Off to get Book II.

Excellent Book

I loved this book. It has great characters and a storey line that never gets boring. The main characters sense of humour and his dog oberon had me laughing out loud. I highly recommend this book.

good story with good mythology

I really did like this story and the narrator. the only thing I didn't like was the intro and ending music because the Mexican style guitar didn't fit the Celtic feel of the story. it just seemed an odd and unfitting choice for a book about a Celtic druid. I only harp on this so much because that music is the first thing you hear and it's supposed to set the tone for the book and it was really out of place and failed to set the right tone. aside from that my only other complaint is that I don't like the narrator's voice or tone for the dog. every time I heard him speak in the dogs voice I didn't imagine a telepathic Irish wolfhound, I just imagined an annoying guy making a goofy voice trying to make himself sound like what he thinks a cartoon dog should sound like, like Scooby doo or something. other than that I really liked the story and all the mythology weaved through it and I think the main character was likable and the narrator's voice was a good fit for him. I like the character of his dog too, I just didn't like the way he portrayed the dogs voice. I do think this book 8s worth a listen. I liked it enough that im going to buy the next book
