Gunmetal Gods

Gunmetal Gods, Book 1

By: Zamil Akhtar

Narrated by: Peter Noble

They took his daughter, so Micah comes to take their kingdom.

Fifty thousand gun-toting paladins march behind him, all baptized in angel blood, thirsty to burn unbelievers. Only the janissaries can stand against them. Their living legend, Kevah, once beheaded a magus amid a hail of ice daggers. But ever since his wife disappeared, he spends his days in a haze of hashish and poetry.

To save the kingdom, Kevah must conquer his grief and become the legend he once was. But Micah writes his own legend in blood, and his righteous conquest will stop at nothing. When the gods choose sides, a legend will be etched upon the stars.

Game of Thrones meets Arabian Nights in this blood-soaked epic fantasy inspired by The Crusades, featuring Lovecraftian gods, mischievous djinns, and astral magic.

Pretty good, but terrible delivery

The story itself isn’t too bad, it wasn’t great, but I will probably finish the series. It was the narrator that was just awful. Maybe the story would’ve been better if someone else read it.

Was it all worth it?

What a mystical and captivating world the author has created. I am eager to continue the story of God's, guns, guts, and glory. I will say that I hated the epilogue.

Worth the price of a credit and then some.

I am extremely skeptical of self published books in general. This was really fantastic though. To say that it is a crusade-inspired fantasy is to short-sell it. In the end, it is an exploration of fanaticism, and the fine line between good and evil.

And the narration was fantastic. I've rarely encountered a male narrator who can do male and female voices (and a bunch of different accents) so well.

Zamil Akhtar deserves some love. Great job, bro.

Good stuff

Highly recommend you read it. I’m completely sold on this series. Can’t wait for next installment.

This is simply a masterpiece!

The writing is incredible! Anyone who says otherwise clearly isn’t well read. Yes the delivery of the one who read the book wasn’t the best. But the story is impeccable!
