The Game of War

The Trials of Dantess, Warrior Priest

De: Glen Dahlgren

Narrado por: Glen Dahlgren

Never meet your heroes—especially if they’re dead.

Years before the Child of Chaos makes their fateful choice, young Dantess faces his own reckoning.

Dantess wants to follow in the footsteps of his dead grandfather—a legendary priest of War—but his father forbids it. In fact, his father’s hatred of war lands him in a cell within the god’s temple.

The only way to free him is from the inside, so Dantess must choose: let his father die or defy his upbringing, become a priest, and win his father’s freedom in the temple’s deadly Game of War.

Torn between the legacies of his father and grandfather, Dantess finds that both paths hide secrets that threaten to destroy everything he cares about, including his sanity.

Dantess must decide who he wants to be—but if he’s wrong, everyone will pay the price.

The Game of War is a stand-alone, full-size prequel novel to the Chronicles of Chaos.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Game of War, like its predecessor, Child of Chaos, is riveting and compelling. Introducing new, fascinating characters, adventures and relationships, Glen Dahlgren weaves another magical book that is a must-read for any fan of fantasy literature." (Barbara Blackburn, Knights of the Dinner Table)

"The Game of War is one hell of an action-packed thrill ride.... It's a heartfelt origin story, a gut-wrenching coming of age, and an exceptional character-driven epic fantasy which in many ways surpasses The Child of Chaos. I loved this book." (Cully Mack, author of A Voice That Thunders)

"[The Game of War] is an exciting and fast-paced story packed with extended sequences that would be right at home in a Steven Spielberg movie. At the end, I was left wanting more, much more." (Josh Mandel, award-winning designer of Spider Robinson's Callahan's Crosstime Saloon)

Excellent Epic Fantasy

This is the second fantasy book that Glen Dahlgren has written and it is awesome! Glen wrote the back story of one of the side characters found in his first book "The Child Of Chaos". This story is like a roller coaster with the many twists and turns and ongoing action that occur within the pages. I enjoyed it a lot. I am looking forward to more creative works by Glen Dahlgren. I recommend this book without any hesitation. Glen was the narrator to his own story and he does a fantastic job with his portrayal. I was given a free copy of the audiobook and I have voluntarily left this review.

Great story and characters

Ok. I am a type of person that can get frustrated with books that take forever to get to a place you know about a few chapters a go. Author does a fantastic job of creating a story and develop characters while still moving forward. Can’t wait to read the rest of the series.

Met the Author at Barns and Noble

Met the author today by happenstance at Barns and Nobel in Northern California. It was so cool to meet him and be introduced to the series. I’ve never been one to have the stamina to sit and read a paper copy. When I asked if he was on audible he exclaimed he was and that he narrates his own books. I love when authors narrate. Started listening today and after the first few hours of listening I’m hooked. Can’t wait to listen to the whole series!

Fantastic

Writing and narrating this story by an author that is extremely talented . I was totally hooked from the beginning and can’t wait fir the next

An exciting and emotional ride.

The Game of War, is a prequel novel to Child of Chaos. it stands on it's own well and no prior knowledge is needed.

In this book we follow Dauntes. He is a young man caught in the ultimate moral battle, family or religion.

Glen Dahlgren creates a deep and believable world full of Gods who give power to the powerful. More often than not the corrupt use this power to suppress the weak.

This story will really make you think about right and wrong. It's an intense listen that will constantly make you question who the good guys are.

It is narrated by the author, and he does a fantastic job. He gives each character a unique voice and he also reads with emotion and passion.

*My thanks to the author for providing me with a free reviewer cor for this audiobook. My opinions are my own and are given here honestly.*
