Shard's Thugs

De: Dexter Herron

Narrado por: Dexter Herron

Wiggletooth Shard started off the campaign as a lowly goblin corporal, but when his unit is decimated by the human forces, he steals a captain’s rank and musters the goblins for a desperate counterattack, unknowing that his rag-tag company would soon plunge straight into the heart of the war for the survival of the goblin nation!

His newly formed unit, the Black Dragon Company, is assigned a simple mission, get the goblin princess to the shore, but Shard soon realizes his innocuous assignment is far more deadly. Shard musters all his wit and courage as the humans pull out all stops to capture the goblin princess. Shard realizes that all hope of the goblin nation rides on his shoulders as he discovers the elves’ new secret weapon.

Plagued by his own memories and tortured by dreams of a mysterious elf sorceress, Shard leads his goblins through battle after battle with his only allies; the incompetent Captain Momoo who lost his own company thinking it would get him laid, the brutal Sergeant Major Ribsplitter Jones who’s killed more goblin officers than the elves, the enigmatic Major Bark-Bite who seems more interested in Shard’s past than the war itself, and the lusty, busty, war loving Princess Hiroki who has her own castration machine and a perchance to use it, in a crazy suicide mission across enemy territory against unwinnable odds to save his people.

Shard’s Thugs is laugh out loud funny and an action packed thrill ride from first minute to last. Battle after ferocious battle, armed with a his big sword and guile, he must keep the rambunctious princess safe, outsmart the elves and humans hunting him down, and dodge the lurking shadow of a vengeful black dragon. Shard must succeed at all costs even if the price is his goblin company or worse, their lives!

Truly funny fantasy

Shard's Thugs is a comedic fantasy tale full of the lowest brow humor as could be expected in a tale of goblins. Funny as it is, it is also a good story of the underdog scrambling tusk and claw for survival at every step to overcome staggering odds, which I have to say was delightful. The story is a rollicking adventure that doesn't slow down for anything.

The author performs the audiobook wonderfully. Each of the many characters has a unique voice, his words clear, and his pacing is excellent. Highly recommended.

Lots of adventure and a great laugh!

I listen to a lot of audio books and there is always one or two places where I laugh out loud. But listening to Shard's Thugs it was a constant occurrence! It was a blast to listen to!

The great difference in voices for the characters. the story is fun and lively.

its a very different from my normal audible books. it was a great driving story.
