Kings of the Wyld

De: Nicholas Eames

Narrado por: Jeff Harding

A retired group of legendary mercenaries get the band back together for one last impossible mission in this award-winning debut epic fantasy.

Clay Cooper and his band were once the best of the best, the most feared and renowned crew of mercenaries this side of the Heartwyld.

Their glory days long past, the mercs have grown apart and grown old, fat, drunk, or a combination of the three. Then an ex-bandmate turns up at Clay's door with a plea for help - the kind of mission that only the very brave or the very stupid would sign up for. It's time to get the band back together.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Brilliant debut novel.... Eames has cranked the thrills of epic fantasy up to 11.... Moreover, the plot is emotionally rewarding, original, and hilarious. Eames clearly set out to write something fun to read, and he has succeeded spectacularly." ( Publishers Weekly)

"An outstanding debut which will make you laugh and cry and hold your breath. This is a book that has it all." (K. J. Parker)

THIS BOOK LITERALLY ROCKS TO THE METAL GODS!

Love the play on metal bands versus war bands. great book kept my interest with good story line and an underlying comedy of words in comparison to metal rock bands. Coolest and uniquely plotted book I've heard in quite a while. great book Mr Eames, I'll be looking fur more if your work in future. Well narrated also, the voice and accent were spot on perfect for these protagonist "Saga" worthy heroes!!!!

Fantastic Storytelling

I really enjoyed this book. There is good humor and really great banter. Not one of those fantasy stories where you are just in the head of the main character the whole time. You can really feel the comrade in this book. There is great action that will leave you wanting more in the end.

In my top five favorite books now

Sheer amazing narration and a story that had me coming back for more everytime i had i stop listening. Absolutely a must buy

One of the Best Books I've Read

This book was great fantasy, but also didn't take itself too seriously, so it was a lot of fun! I would definitely recommend. There was a lot of good adult action, language, and gore to set it apart from youth genres, and it was also loaded with comedy that fit perfectly to the themes of the story. I'd also like to note that the characters were all very likeable and interesting, especially when compared to most modern fiction.
The voicing was fantastic and compelling.
Definitely worth it!!!

Outstanding for a first book, a must read

This was the the most fun l've had reading and listening to any book, since Joe Aberceombie's ( Red Country ). I laughed my ass off, please, please, please get this book. If Nicholas Eames keeps writing like this, the man will become one of the greats.

Good the bad and the ugly and don't call me Shirle

A very good listen. I really liked the D&D aspect of the world and the characters.

Contemporary voice, ageless story

This story of towering heroes well past middle age stepping out again to stand up for another generation puts real people in unreal situations. While most of the fantasy tropes are pulled out for fun, believable characters who refuse to take themselves too seriously are the real attraction for this excellent and often humorous listening experience. Eames has used a contemporary voice to add contrast between what could have been a formulaic plot and characters who shine as originals. Jeff Harding is perfect in this narration.

Brilliantly executed

What a fantastic story! The narrator does a great job of making each character voice different. But clearly it is the story that shines! Great listen, very highly recommend.

great story

a true masterpiece.

loved this work of art. I could feel myself ride the emotions of the characters
