Penric and the Bandit

A Penric & Desdemona Novella

De: Lois McMaster Bujold

Narrado por: Grover Gardner

Strange company…

When Rozakajin, road-weary bandit and army deserter, spots a hapless blond young man in a country inn with an intriguing treasure map, he thinks he’s scouted an easy and lucrative victim. Attaching himself to odd traveler Penric seems simple enough, but when Roz’s old enemies catch up from behind, his plans take a turn for the much worse. When Pen’s claim that I never travel alone proves true in ways Roz never imagined, his world becomes more frightening still—but also much wider than he’d ever dared to dream.

Another wonderful Pen and Desdemona story!

Saint McMaster Bujold gives us another amazing short adventure. While listening to the final paragraphs I found myself hoping that she is taking great care of her health so she can continue to bless us with fantastic stories for many more years.

Another good Pen and Des

If you've enjoyed these novellas up to this point, you'll enjoy this one too. My only complaint would be with the entire series as a whole, in that all of the books with the exception of one are short novellas. I really wish she'd write more full length novels in this series. Their very shortness makes them hard to justify the credits, and I find myself only buying them on significant sales.

always a pleasure

another wonderful tale from my favorite author! My only complaint is they're always too short!

Another well wrought story!

I love this author! I am so grateful each time she publishes another gem of a story, I’ve become so very attached to Penric and Desdemona.

love Penrick and Dez

I love the continuity of these characters. Bujold writes thoughtfully, with humor and insight. always a pleasure to enter the world of the five gods with Pen and Dez. Grover Gardner is perfect, as always.

Clever Pen’s new friend

Too short, as all of these are, but worth a listen! Still not cheap though, but I like the idea.

nice continuation of series

First audio version in the Bujold universe, The reader is skilled. I believe anyone wanting to try an audio version will enjoy this. per book itself...This continues the series. Though it's its own tale, a lot will be missed if you have not read earlier books.

Life lessons made digestible

Lois delivers another entertaining tale with threads of deeper truths if you are paying attention.

Another Great Novella!

Just great!! I can't Waite for the next!! I love Penric and Desdomona! The story only gets better!!

The warm heart fuzzies

As usual a heartwarming story of cleverness and joy. Our hero always wins and helps others along the way. If you like a positive bit of reinforcement this is for you
