Disgraced during the Demon War, Dwarf investigator Snazdaggin Kundarik (Spade to his friends) wants nothing more than a desk to sleep on, a bottle of grog to drink, and the occasional easy case for quick pay.
Then a mysterious female Elf from the posh side of town shows up and offers him exoneration for his past sins and lots of gold. All he has to do is follow her brother and report his activities. Simple, right?
He should have known better. The simple job soon spirals out of control. Spade finds himself sucked into intrigue, powerful magic, and the hunt for a weapon powerful enough to end the world. Ill-prepared, Spade forges on with the aid of his hapless sidekick and a reluctant female warrior.
Will he survive long enough to save the world and get his grog?

For those who have played D&D there are a lot of call backs, but isn't a requirement to enjoy the story. It was a fun adventure following Spade and the rag tag group of misfits he gathers around himself and easy to get lost in the story.
The narrator did a great job in showing the personality of our main hero who is gruff and cynical of the world around him. He can be crude and this book is aimed at a mature audience as there is more than a little bit of language and that goes with that.
Overall I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a light hearted mystery and adventure story that purposefully parodies both fantasy and mystery with some subtle (and not so subtle) call outs to game culture.

On rare occassions, comedy will work. And on less frequent occurances thn that , comedy is funny.
This book is funny. It plays out the classic Maltese Falcon storyline, only set in a fantasy world. This elevates the original story more than you might have thought possible. Spade's lizard folk companions are good for some chuckles, and the story fills in laughs in very unexpected places. Oh, it does so in expected places too.
Jack Wayne nails the mood with his narration, delivery and tone. I listen to a lot of different narrators, and have some particular favorites, but I cannot see anyone else doing the job that he did here. It is hard to believe that this book came out two years ago, as this feels like a real classic. It has real meat on its bones. It is a rare book that can take and remain close to its source material, but convert it into something very different, and make it funny. I don't recall ever lightly chuckling while watching the Malteese Falcon.
Even though I did receive a promo code for this review it in no way influenced my considerations of the material, and in fact, inspired me to be more honest. In fact, getting a code generally makes me harsher as a reviewer as I am more often concerned what someone like Me will decide based on my review.

The assignment leads Snaz down a rabbit hole, filled with fascinating characters, intrigue, and plenty of treachery and betrayal. Lucky for him, he has a motley crew of helpers who have just the skills he's going to need to get out of this alive!
This audiobook is definitely unique. It’s a mixture of epic fantasy and a hard-boiled detective story put all together by author Paul Barrett and it works! This 8 ½ hour audiobook is narrated by Jack Wayne. What a large array of characters he performs in this fully voiced production! He did a wonderful job and each character had their own style and it all worked to make this story with so many different characters, easy to follow.
I can see this book becoming a franchise. If so, I’m in!

The next thing is this story isn't for kids. Language, and violence make this for an older audience.
That being said, what a great story. the author takes different story types and makes it work. It may start a little slow, but then hang on, you're in for one heck of a ride. You like fantasy ,and detective stories? This is for you. Yes it has been done before, but so rarely done as well.
The narrator is a perfect fit for this book. He breaths life into the characters and makes the story truly flow.
I look forward to more from both.
Incredible blend

A funny grumpy drunk dwarf. How much more fun couldn't get. This is a fun listen. Full of interesting and unusual characters. A good storyline to follow as the grumpy dwarf Spade investigates. At the end of the case more grog!“I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.”More grog!

'Malaise Falchion' is driven by the first-person narrative viewpoint of central protagonist Spade. Jack Wayne's performance fills out Spade's personality. If descriptors such as grizzled, tough and smooth-talkin' were in the brief for the job of narrator, Jack Wayne nailed it.

Story is in the fashion of a Sam Spade, detective noir. I thought is was funny and defiantly different spin. I did have to speed up the play some as the narrators style was a little slow, good, but slow.“I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.”

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I'd recommend it, I'd play it during a dinner party, or I'd convince them to listen and review as my birthday prezzie this year.What did you like best about this story?
"Instead of dying in a hot fire, why don't you shave a blazing porker up your **** and parboil your innards."Omfgoddess ... this book was filled with the funniest dialogues. Idk how the narrator kept a straight face as he read it!
What does Jack Wayne bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Everything. The accent and ability to make the bad asses bad and the double crossers hated.Had I read the book, some of the humour would have gone over my head, actually.
