Publisher's summary

In the sixth novel in the New York Times bestselling Iron Druid Chronicles, two-thousand-year-old Druid Atticus O’Sullivan finds himself the target of two goddesses of the hunt and a trickster god determined to unleash the apocalypse.

“[Kevin] Hearne is a terrific storyteller with a great snarky wit. . . . Neil Gaiman’s American Gods meets Jim Butcher’s Harry Dresden.”—SFFWorld

For someone who’s been alive for two thousand years, Atticus O’Sullivan is a pretty fast runner. Good thing, because he’s being chased by not one but two goddesses of the hunt—Artemis and Diana—for messing with one of their own. Dodging their slings and arrows, Atticus, Granuaile, and his wolfhound, Oberon, are making a mad dash across modern-day Europe to seek help from a friend of the Tuatha Dé Danann. His usual magical option of shifting planes is blocked, so instead of playing hide-and-seek, the game plan is . . . run like hell.

Crashing the pantheon marathon is the Norse god Loki. Killing Atticus is the only loose end he needs to tie up before unleashing Ragnarok—AKA the Apocalypse. Atticus and Granuaile have to outfox the Olympians and contain the god of mischief if they want to go on living—and still have a world to live in.

Critic reviews

“Celtic mythology and an ancient Druid with modern attitude mix it up in the Arizona desert in this witty new fantasy series.” (Kelly Meding, author of Chimera)

“A page-turning and often laugh-out-loud funny caper through a mix of the modern and the mythic.” (Ari Marmell, author of The Warlord’s Legacy)

“Kevin Hearne breathes new life into old myths, creating a world both eerily familiar and startlingly original.” (Nicole Peeler, author of Tempest Rising)

Thank you, Kevin Hearne

I liked that the Atticus we first met 5 books ago was back. Here again is the sweet really old man who cares about the earth and cares about being a Druid and loves his dog. He spent 4 books hanging with the bad boys and getting in trouble and now he is back on track. For me, the best part of these books has been following along while this sweet man shows us the world we suspect exists just below the surface of the mundane world we interact with daily. This book made me laugh out loud more than once and wonder what it would be like to win the race, count on friends, and deal gracefully with a frenemy. I really want to talk with my dog! So, thank you, for great escapist literature, adventure, and the coolest dog ever. And seriously, didn't you always suspect the Greco Roman pantheon were dicks?
Luke Daniels- dude! You rocked it this time out!

My new favorite series

What made the experience of listening to Hunted: The Iron Druid Chronicles, Book 6 the most enjoyable?

The Iron Druid Chronicles have fast become my favorite new series! Really love the inner conversations between Aticus and Oberon (his wolfhound)

The Greatest Book Series EVER

I can not get enough! I absolutely love everything about this series.Luke Daniels brings it all to life.He's my hero( next to Atticus and Oberon)

By far the best of the series to date

If you could sum up Hunted in three words, what would they be?

Pandemonium (one word suffices)

What other book might you compare Hunted to and why?

What I like about this series is it's different from others I've read. I really don't want to compare it to anything else. It's fun, you don't have to think a lot, and it mixes in a lot of mythology. If I absolutely had to compare it, it would have to be close to the Percy Jackson series but for adults

Have you listened to any of Luke Daniels’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Only the others in this series and he does a great job

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When Atticus dies

Any additional comments?

This is by far the best of the series to date. I still think that without oberon as the comic relief, it wouldn't be as great. The writer has done a better job than with the previous books. I can't wait to see what happens next.

VERY EMOTIONAL

Very, very good book. Loved every minute of it down to the very last! I also felt a great deal of grief as an unexpectedly important character in the book has died that will be felt throughout the narration. It goes to show that you never really appreciate something until it is gone.

A must read!

Another excellent book in the series

Not the best one that I've read so far but even OK Kevin Hearne is still wonderful. Oberon continues to be my favorite character and Luke Daniels narration is absolutely top notch. Can't wait to read the next one and will just be disappointed when they're all done.

Love this series

this is the latest in the iron druid I have listened to and it is as wonderful as the others. I can't wait to listen to the next installment.

The Best One Yet

lots of action, as gods go to war against each other, well executed by both the narrator and the author. creating one remarkable action filled, hilarious book of this series as Oberon and Atticus keeps you laughing, crying and rooting for them all the way threw the story
.
A must read for this summers genre

Cry hamhock and let loose the hogs of war!
