One Man's Laughter

The Good Guys, Book 16

By: Eric Ugland

Narrated by: Neil Hellegers

He just saved the entire Empire (again).

Now, he's got to save a couple of scared kids.

Montana Coggeshall, freshly returned from the high society world of galas, birthrights, and the odd doomsday cult, doesn't have much time to settle back into normal life. He's promised to protect everyone who calls Coggeshall home, and one terrified family is caught in the wrong place at the worst time.

But what starts as a simple rescue mission quickly unravels into a web of strange disappearances, secret tunnels, and whispered warnings. A new monster may be stalking the valley. And it’s one that doesn’t just kill—it plays with its food.

As Montana digs deeper, he's faced with questions no one wants to answer. Who's been pulling the strings in his absence? What's hiding in the darkness? And why does it all feel so damn personal?

One Man's Laughter is a sinister, suspense-filled ride through the shadowy corners of Coggeshall. If you like your LitRPG full of creeping dread, brutal battles, and that signature Montana charm, this one's for you.

This one dragged out a bit…

I love all the books and narrator but this one was slow… really dragged on.

Eased back into Coggeshall life: Montana style.

I hope this series never ends. This listen is 15 hours long and because life didn’t stop in the Coggeshall dukedom while Montana was away the catchup could have been much longer. And I would not have minded it one bit! Exciting ride. I’m ready for more.

Consistent and great narration

Awesome continuation of the series! As always the banter and action keeps one on the edge of their seat!

after 16 books ...

I love these series, but after all these books, the amount of clarifying questions the MC's ask to everything even though it is completely unnecessary is extremely annoying to listen to. still love the books though.

Great story

The author has done a really good job at making Montana be one of the most frustrating main characters of any book I’ve read/listened to.
The story is really good. As with the other books in the series, the characters are written pretty well.
Narration is great, as always.
