A warrior without a past is the galaxy's only hope for a future....
Talon is a man without a past. A slave, a gladiator. His only memories are a lifetime of bloody combat in the arena. But when a chance encounter with a seductive alien sorceress plunges him into an intergalactic war, he finds himself fighting for the ultimate prize...his freedom.
As Talon and a rag-tag crew of allies embark on a vital mission for an exiled prince, they are pursued by an ancient warlord who has unleashed the most destructive force in the galaxy. The key to stopping it? Talon's lost memories....
If Talon cannot unlock the secrets of his past, his newfound freedom will be lost, and the fires of annihilation will consume the galaxy. Wielding a plasma axe and an indomitable will, he must triumph over the evil forces that stand in his way. He must be more than just a warrior. He must become...Talon the Slayer.
Dive into a galaxy of high adventure! Fans of Conan the Barbarian, Flash Gordon, and Guardians of the Galaxy will love this high-octane mix of science fiction and fantasy action.

It was advertised as a "Conan the Barbarian meets Flash Gordon" pulp fiction, but I don't think that's quite right... it's close, but more like Conan meets Star Wars, and when I figured that out, I kept hearing John Williams and the London Symphony Orchestra in my head! LOL
I can always count on it being a sure thing when I get a book narrated by Travis Baldree! He's really, really good at his craft!
Grab a plate of snacks, and sit back to enjoy the story! You decide if the London Symphony Orchestra plays out as a backdrop! LOL

What REALLY sells this is Travis Baldree's "tough as nails" gritty narration. He really brings the character of Talon to life as well as all the supporting characters. I'm excited to see where this series goes!

The story was a blast to listen to. I absolutely flew through it - doing far more yard work than I needed to do yesterday just so that I could listen to another few minutes. Warren created a fantastical world that he described in vivid details without being boring about it. He created characters that I not only liked but I was fighting in my head for them to succeed.
The story itself was also great. Talon's inner struggles, relationship confusion, and overall "vibe" were perfect for him. If you threw him into a battle-like situation he would take control. But once you gave him some personal freedom he wasn't sure exactly what to do. It made for a unique and interesting main charter.
Travis Baldree was perfect for the narration of this. Warren created a slew of characters that all had different and unique voices and Baldree is able to shine when he's voicing at least 4 different people. His narration definitely made a good book even better.
I can't wait to get into more stories in this universe. Though I have no idea where Warren is going to take us!
There's also something to be said about the cover of this audiobook. When creating a new and unique world - sometimes it's hard to picture what the characters look like. The cover of Talon The Slayer shows three of the main characters and I'm ashamed to say I'm glad they did because it made the book even easier to listen to. I didn't have to go "who do I think Talon looks like?" Or "a mask, well, what kind of mask?" I was just able to read and enjoy the story that Warren laid out for me.
A Blast To Listen To

The overall plot felt fairly typical of a save the world type science fiction story. This one had a few twists that helped to make it stand out from the others, but I would say it didn’t stray too far from the middle of the road as far as plot. You definitely get the B movie feel which appeals to someone like me who used to stay up late as a kid watching sci fi movies on TV. The dialogue and interactions between the various characters solidifies that and you can’t help but be brought back to that time.
What really stood out in the story were the characters. Talon, dressed like He-man, complete with baldric and axe, was a great focal point of the story. Like the modern day one last job type stories, Talon, has one last battle to gain his freedom and it is an epic battle. I liked the supporting characters, although by far my favorite was Zobel, a wolf-like alien who is snarky, arrogant, and a total bad-ass. Selena’s story was another favorite of mine and I hope that as the series progresses we may get to hear more about her.
Travis Baldree is a master at character voices and he could make a medical text book full of life and fun to listen to. Baldree adds that layer to this story that makes it go from a decent sci fi story to an exceptionally fun one. If you haven’t had a chance to listen to Baldree, you owe it to yourself to check out his narration. As always, he nailed this story and I look forward to hearing him narrate the next book in the series.

Travis Baldree was a great narrator and really seemed to nail Talon and Zobos voices especially.
