Archer of the Heathland

Deliverance, Volume 1

De: J.W. Elliot

Narrado por: Jim Byrne

Brion never meant to start a war.

But when they murdered his parents and enslaved his sister and his sweetheart, they left him no choice.

Brion of Wexford is the son of a crippled trapper living a quiet life on the edge of the vast and unruly heathland. But when Salassani raiders destroy his world, he must venture into the heathland to attempt the impossible task of finding the girls, rescuing them, and conveying them safely home across hundreds of miles of enemy territory. Now Brion finds himself pursued by men bent on his destruction, deprived of his protectors, and haunted by the knowledge that his murdered father has hidden a dark secret that could reshape Brion’s entire identity. Brion must find a way to stay alive long enough to get the girls safely home.

This is an adventure series perfect for fans of John Flanagan’s Ranger's Apprentice, J. R. R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, T. H. White’s The Sword in the Stone, Christopher Paolini’s Eragon series, and George R. R. Martin’s Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire series.

This is a great story

This is a great story, sucks you in at the very beginning. Love the story and the characters. Hope audile get the rest of the series soon.

Great book

This is a great book when you are traveling and need to stay awake for hours on end, lots of fun and adventure. This book could keep you listening from Boston to Chicago.

Turn this Book into a Screenplay

I have REALLY enjoyed this book. The story picks up speed and I found myself getting to know the characters to the point that I'm thinking about them and what they will do next. I drive about 2 hours a day...a long commute and I have actually sat in my car in my driveway so that I can hear what happens next. I haven't done that since "The Martian". I'm not usually a fan of this genre but the reader does an excellent job and the story gets more interesting as it moves along. The descriptions of the lay of the land, the archery, the sword play is visualizing. Anyway....this is a great listen!!

Great start to a series that could be fantastic

I’m an avid audiobook listener that is always searching for a new action fantasy book that I can get lost in. This story was everything I’ve been looking for in a series. An archer protagonist but more adult leaning than Ranger’s Apprentice? Check. Endearing characters, twists and turns, and even some political intrigue? Check. I couldn’t stop listening until the book was over.

great book to rival rangers apprentice

it starts out a little slow in the story line but just hold on a while it gets better. The reader was not very good at bringing out the sarcastic moments much of the time and you away some of the needed humor, but did get better by the end. I was a little bothered by the sentences being shortened, strange extended pauses in the middle of important things or words meant to go together like longbow ( it was really "long..... bow"), or read so dully that it took away from the story. the story did seem a little rushed at times and yet other times it seemed a little unnecessarily drawn out. Overall it's been a good book. it obviously has violence in that it is a fighting/war related story but nothing overly gory or needlessly obsessed over. No constant swearing. some adult content in that they obviously want women as slaves and concubines but no intricate details.
