By: H0st

Narrated by: Johnathan McClain

Continue following this unlikely merchant on his unexpected quest for riches, sweetness, and someone to fix his broken rock!

Balthazar was just minding his business being a merchant crab, enjoying life in his bazaar, being bothered daily by adventurers and other nuisances, but then the rest of the world had to come and ruin his peace and quiet. And also land a dragon right on top of his roof.

With his eyestalks set on rescuing his favorite baker, repairing his golem friend, and selling even more junk to even more people along the road, the crustacean sets out on a journey across the continent.

Follow Balthazar as he does everything to find the dragon who took his baker... including leaving his pond for the first time, because the dangerous world out there is full of suckers with coin in their pockets too. Witness all the new places and mysteries he discovers. And cheer for all the friends, allies, and even enemies the crab makes by simply being his charismatic self.

All in book two of Merchant Crab!

Crab

I came for cantankerous crab, stayed for the journey, and left satisfied. Is there more to ask for?

another masterpiece!

Can't wait for the next volume, glad I took the chance on this series! great narration and sorry as always.

Solid addition

Lighthearted fun listen. If you liked the first then this one is even better! Cannot get over how funny it is.

So many entertaining characters!

The story is a joy and the characters in it are hilarious. No matter how big the issue seems to be it always ends up being solved by crabby shenanigans.

Fun!!

Our favorite merchant crab is on a Quest to save his favorite baker. To do so he travels further from home than he’s ever been discovering breads and pastries that would distract a weaker crab. He finds where Adventurers enter the world and steals a new Character Scroll and finds that Admin Access had been left open on him so he keeps it. He delves into a dungeon and tames the Boss monster. He finds a secret society. He tracks down a hidden sage. He upends politics in a far off city by destroying a mango smuggling cartel. He faces down the dragon only to find his baker is just fine. He makes a new friend and everyone goes home.

Balthazar is a hoot! He’s both super smart and incredibly naive. The story has a great pace, fun twists, and is incredibly wholesome. Very humorous and interesting world and characters. Totally awesome narrator. Please enjoy
