In the ninth installment in Kevin Hearne’s New York Times bestselling Iron Druid Chronicles, the ancient gods are still wreaking havoc today in this hilarious, action-packed collection of original short stories featuring Atticus O’Sullivan.
In ancient Egypt, Atticus agrees to raid a secret chamber underneath the library of Alexandria, dodging deadly traps, only to learn that on-site security includes two members of the Egyptian pantheon.
At a Kansas carnival, fun and games turn to murder and mayhem, thanks to soul-snatching demons and flesh-craving ghouls luring visitors into an all-too-real house of horrors.
In olde England, striking up a friendship with William Shakespeare lands both Atticus and the Bard in boiling hot water with a trio of infamous witches.
During the Gold Rush, the avatar of greed himself turns the streets of San Francisco red with blood and upsets the elemental Sequoia. Atticus may have to fight fire with fire if he’s going to restore balance.
More, you say? Indeed there is—including bogeymen, vampire hordes, wrathful wraiths, and even a journey to the realm of the dead. Prepare to be besieged with ten tantalizing tales—not to be missed, never to be forgotten.
Don’t miss any of The Iron Druid Chronicles:
Hounded | Hexed | Hammered | Tricked | Trapped | Hunted | Shattered | Staked | Scourged | Besieged

Reseñas de la Crítica
“[Kevin] Hearne is a terrific storyteller with a great snarky wit. . . . Neil Gaiman’s American Gods meets Jim Butcher’s Harry Dresden.”—SFFWorld
“[The Iron Druid books] are clever, fast-paced and a good escape.”—Boing Boing
“Hearne understands the two main necessities of good fantasy stories: for all the wisecracks and action, he never loses sight of delivering a sense of wonder to his readers, and he understands that magic use always comes with a price. Highly recommended.”—The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction

I thought I had pre-purchased the next installment of the series, not a collection of short stories. I DID enjoy the short stories, just not what I expected.This is a collection of short stories

I really enjoyed that the narration of the various stories was done by various characters. Luke Daniels has quite a range of voices he can do and has great comedic timing and inflection.
If you listen to this book with your family - meaning with children - you may want to skip the short story done with the Slavic god of lightning, Perun (spelling?) about 2/3rds of the way through the audio book. That may be too sexual for children, however Kevin Hearne manages to write the story in a way that has a lot of depth and thoughtful examination of human motives and manipulations and observations of people, so it isn't some fluffy, shallow, silly romance writing.
The story line has so many opportunities to expand in the future and I have hope that Kevin Hearne will continue writing and exploring this wonderful world he has created in his books.
Luke Daniels' performance in this book was very good. This was a delightful listen.
Great stories plus fantastic performance = Fun!

NUMBER OF HEARTS: 5It was so wonderful to be back in the world of the Iron Druid!! I simply love this series.
Besieged is a book of short stories that are in the IDC world. They are stories that help fill in some of the gaps between stories and answer a few questions. The last three shorts are leading up to Scourged (which Kevin has said will be the last book *tears*).
As always I let the amazingly talented Luke Daniels read this story to me. Luke is one of my favorite narrators. His ability to bring Kevin’s characters to life is simply amazing.
I honestly don’t know what I am going to do if the IDC is really coming to an end. Guess it is time for a re-listen.

what id liked about these books were the extravagant crazy scenes and the humor the characters brought to them. (shakespear quipping while in a car chase with a greek god makes me laugh every time)
so it did me good to return to some of that cooky fun that made me like the series in the first place. if youre wondering if the book is worth it, atticus tells oberon to check his privaledge.
luke daniels is great
