Stranger of Tempest

Book One of The God Fragments

De: Tom Lloyd

Narrado por: Jay Villiers

Lynx is a mercenary with a sense of honour - a dying breed in the Riven Kingdom. Failed by the nation he served and weary of the skirmishes that plague the continent's principalities, he walks the land in search of purpose. He wants for little, so bodyguard work keeps his belly full and his mage-gun loaded. It might never bring a man fame or wealth, but he's not forced to rely on others or kill without cause.

Little could compel Lynx to join a mercenary company, but he won't turn his back on a kidnapped girl. At least the job seems simple enough: the mercenaries are less stupid and vicious than most he's met over the years. So long as there are no surprises or hidden agendas along the way, it should work out fine.

The narrator reads the book...

The narrator reads the book. There are many fine audiobooks where the narrator preformed the book this narrator does very little to create distinct voices and personalities. The whole performance is one note.

Despite this I do not think that the story suffers because most of the characters are themselves one note. Their are nonetheless entertaining and engaging.

Excellent

Builds an interesting world and tells an excellent story with vibrant characters. The performance is adequate.

Lame story, good telling makes me mad

This author obviously can tell a story--all the signs are there; but, this book is almost as entertaining as C-SPAN. I just couldn't get into the story. I'm going to try to return the book.
