A Forgotten Realms Adventure

Narrated by: Victor Bevine

Length: 1 hr and 56 mins

Publisher's summary

Conflicts will be decided with fisticuffs, card games will be played for the highest of stakes, and swords will be flashed in this rollicking Dungeons & Dragons adventure from New York Times best-selling author R. A. Salvatore.

Maintaining stability in a city full of pirates is a delicate balancing act, particularly when one is motivated by making sure the common folk are taken care of instead of simple personal greed. Jarlaxle and his band of rogues known as Bregan D'aerthe are doing their best, stabilizing the city after warding off a terrible attack by demonic and gnoll forces.

But now three merchant ships have been destroyed and sent to the ocean floor - obliterated in such a quick and brutal manner that it makes little sense it’s pirates seeking plunder. Something is out there on or under the cold dark waters of the Sword Coast, and it threatens the trade Jarlaxle will need to bring prosperity to Luskan.

Fortunately, Jarlaxle has powerful and clever allies he can call upon to help him solve the riddle. But will they do it in time? And even if it's solved, can the perpetrator be defeated?

another great Hopefully more on the wsy

Hopefully more to come for us super fans to enjoy thank you again for such amazing work.

Great story!

Thank you for this great story! I want more & need to find more of your novels.

not bad for a short story

its a great book and involves some of my favorites u can never go wrong with ra salvatore

Absolutely splendid.

Spider aka Regis, is so freaking cool now, compared to his last life as a rumble belly. He is now by far one of the coolest rogues in the Forgotten Realms of Toril.

Short but good set up for future story line

It was very short but I knew that going in. Well written as always and set the stage well for future events (hopefully)

A fair listen

The world and characters created by the narrative are interesting enough. The story is definitely reminiscent of a mini campaign. I found the writing style too wordy to properly support mind cinema though.

It is what it is.

The story is a bit boring but fine. I've read all the books with these characters and at some point, it all just blends into the same pool of 'stuff happening', especially the combat descriptions.

At least he's not hammering me with his redundant, circular philosophies through Drizzt's reflections. This definitely seems like they just spit it out as quickly as possible for content but I appreciated it because it was short.

Performance was very boring though. No accents for the dwarves or any liveliness that I envision with these characters when I read them. No heart at all, really. No talent for differentiating characters when doing their voices. I guess it is what it is.

Latest Novella in the Gripping Chronicle is Well Focused

Bob Salvatore has written another great short story with suspense, action, and intrigue following the events of Timeless, Boundless, Relentless that doesn’t say much to spoil the main events of those books besides a couple of asides. I wasn’t aware this was coming out until I saw it in the audible exclusives library, so I’ve got to say I’m a little confused as to the strategy of that but nevertheless.

Victor Bevine does a good job on the whole, you can hear a few re-take splices in a couple spots.

Fun listen

It was a bit long-winded at times, but overall a good, fun read. Would’ve liked more dynamic reading/more variety of voices.

Sweet but short

Even not reading the other parts of the series I was able to develop a connection with the characters and had fun listening to their short adventure
