Scamps & Scoundrels

Bad Guys, Book 1

De: Eric Ugland

Narrado por: Neil Hellegers

From the number-one best-selling author of One More Last Time!

Just yesterday, Ben was a petty criminal getting by on fleecing New York’s one-percenters. Today, he's got a new face, a new name, and a new world to navigate. And Ben’s thinking maybe this time around, he’ll use his skills at disarming and deceiving to help out people other than himself. Maybe.

Watching a medieval City Guard fight off a 20-foot-tall ooze that crawled up from the sewers will make you think twice about life decisions. Tomorrow, he'll need to save a girl, steal a crown, join a guild, and most importantly, convince an innkeep to make a decent bacon egg and cheese.

Scamps and Scoundrels is the witty, action-packed entree into The Bad Guys, a new series from epic LitRPG writer Eric Ugland. If you like immersive world-building full of magic, monsters, and mischief, this is the book for you.

loved it!

Book was amazing. I enjoy the writing and storytelling of Eric Ugland. I eagerly await future books.

a delightful find

this book had me wondering if I'd like it- a rif on a D&D world.

the hero is a thief in the 21st century, with a weakness to help those in trouble -- which oddly earns him a place in a strange world as a D&D character. A place of adventure, magic with real life consequences. with an unusual mixture of luck and ingenuity he succeeds in surviving- and well but for how long?

it's awesome world building, character development, and craziness of monsters, politics, and pit cleaning (read to understand)

well written and the audio is fabulous!!!! so glad I found this gem!!

I highly recommend!!!

Don’t Let the Cover Art Fool You

Look, the cover art is lame. So is the title.

Despite that, this is is actually a great modern take on the rogue archetype, especially for a LitRPG. The world is great, the characters are interesting, the MC I relatable. Scott Lynch does it better, but discounting him, this is probably the best iteration of a rogue thief character perspective that I’ve read, and certainly the best version of that in a LitRPG

surprisingly awesome

nerdy, funny,ironic honestly I hated when it was over. I'll be reading the rest for sure.

Best audiobook I have listened to in a long time!

absolutely adored this book, the narrator was amazing as always and the story was absolutely phenomenal. 10/10 I will definitely be getting the next book!
