131 Days, Book 1

De: Keith C. Blackmore

Narrado por: John Lee

Four brave combatants fight for survival in a world where blood sport is taken to the ultimate extreme in this action-packed fantasy series debut.

Once every year, in the city of Sunja, gladiators meet in the arena known as Sunja’s Pit. Some are lured there by the prospect of fortune or fame; others come simply for the thrill of the fight. The games continue for days, until a champion is crowned—or all involved perish.

When it becomes clear that to be a Free Trained pit fighter is to live with a mark on one’s head, four warriors struggle to change their lot, both in and out of the arena. But that’s easier said than done, and not everyone is pleased to learn of their plans. All the while, unseen forces watch the quartet, waiting for the best time to strike—and take everything they have.

Perfect for fans of Gladiator and A Game of Thrones!

intriguing

Well, I'm hooked. looking forward to the next one. Decent fight scenes, good characters, very little on world building I think. Well performed by narrator. This is a good and enjoyable book, but really it's the build up for what comes next...
I sure hope it keeps on as good if not better.

Great story!

This is a great example of how books about gladiators should be written! A bit gory at times, but that is pretty expected in a book about gladiators and it didn't feel cheap and gimmicky. can't wait to finish out the series!

seems like it would be boring..... but it isn't

an interesting departure from the usual fantasy books. Not to mention the author is one of my favorite since mountain man. looking forward to getting into the next book in the series. don't let the description put you off. This gets interesting pretty quick. Probably about two chapters in you'll be glad you chose it.

fun read

I have really enjoyed Keith Blackmores mountain man series and wanted to explore some of his other work. I was not disappointed. this was a fun read with clearly defined characters, and tons of action. I have already downloaded the second book and can't wait to start it.

So So good

I loved the Mountain Man series, then stumbled upon this beautiful gem. At first I was not too excited to read about gladiator fights, but oh wow,thank the lords I drive trucks all night! After 30 mins I was completely hooked. I have hundreds of titles on audible & no lie this so far after my 1st book is in my top 6 series of all. Already purchased every title & about to start book 2. Do not hesitate,get started for an enjoyable journey

better then mountain man

I loved the mountain man series and so far this series is even better. the characters are deep and endearing, there's a lot of humor and a ton of action. I can't wait for the rest of the series to come on audible! Blackmore is so much fun to read!

Great narrator and writer

Loved this book. Action packed and filled with humor! Narrator is amazing and full of life! A must ‘read’.

Shockingly Awesome

I am flabbergasted. This book was way better than I thought it would be. Not only did the author bring the Gladiator combat to life but he also mixed in world building, character development, and political intrigue. Took a moment to get use to the narrator's style but even that turned out to be great. Highly recommend.

Much More than Expected

Keith Blackmore changed genres completely from the Mountain Man books and was equal to the task. The story line of the book was at the same time intricate and exciting with just the right amount of action and intrigue. Characters in the book all have a depth about them that makes you care about their successes and failures. I am looking forward to the next in the series and hope it lives up to this one.

Gladiators Galore

Lots of arena action, fair story line, good narration. Arena action seems a bit repetitive, especially by the end of book 2.
