Story4.5 out of 5 stars 206
With strength, wit, rakish charm, and a talking sword named Hrym, Rodrick has all the makings of a classic hero - except for the conscience. Instead, he and Hrym live a high life as scoundrels, pulling cons and parting the weak from their gold. When a mysterious woman invites them along on a quest into the frozen north in pursuit of a legendary artifact, it seems like a prime opportunity to make some easy coin - especially if there's a chance for a double-cross.

In the deep forests of Kyonin, elves live secretively among their own kind, far from the prying eyes of other races. Few of impure blood are allowed beyond the nation's borders, and thus it's a great honor for the half-elven Count Varian Jeggare and his hellspawn bodyguard, Radovan, to be allowed inside. Yet all is not well in the elven kingdom: Demons stir in its depths, and an intricate web of politics seems destined to catch the two travelers in its snares.

Publisher's Summary
Paizo Publishing is the award-winning publisher of fantasy role-playing games, accessories, and board games. Pathfinder Tales: Liar's Bargain is the latest in their popular novel series.
The sequel to Hugo Award Winner Tim Pratt's Liar's Island!
For charming con man Rodrick and his talking sword, Hrym, life is all about taking what you can and getting away clean. But when the pair are arrested in the crusader nation of Lastwall, Rodrick faces immediate execution, with Hrym spending the rest of eternity trapped in an enchanted scabbard. Their only hope lies in a secret government program in which captured career criminals are teamed up and sent on suicide missions too sensitive for ordinary soldiers.
Trapped between almost certain death and actual certain death, the two join forces with a team of rogues and scoundrels, ready to serve their yearlong tenure as best they can. Yet not everyone in their party is what they seem, and a death sentence may be only the start of the friends' problems.

I've tried Steve West across a variety of Pathfinder Tales Audiobook and he consistently jars my listening experience and can't seem to recover a fraction of the enjoyment I had listening to the previous readers for Pathfinders. Please stop letting Steve West read pathfinder books.

Disappointing
Almost abandoned the book several times, but I never do, so I kept with it to the end. First half was terrible, the VERY contrived Suicide Squad set up required both Roderick and Hrym to suddenly become both stupid and incapable to the point of disbelief. Second half was better, but not by much. This book is much weaker than the two previous ones. Disappointed with the writing since the previous two outings were so much fun.
Steve West's narration still lack sufficient versatility to encompass a fair sized number of characters and his portrayal of Hrym just grates on my nerves.
