Publisher's Summary

War can get a fellow killed.

The fearless draconians of the War of the Lance have retired from the field of battle to a pleasant valley in the Kharolis Mountains. Well, it would be pleasant, if it weren't for some dwarves, whose irritating feuding prevents the draconians from realizing their greatest hope - the ability to continue their doomed race. When the dwarves discover a map leading to a fortune buried in the dwarven kingdom of Thorbardin, the draconians are swept up in a feverish race for treasure.

Little do both sides realize that they are part of the strange and terrible destiny descending upon Krynn during the Summer of Flame. A desinty that includes the children of Chaos...the fire dragons!

The Doom Brigade is the first installment in The Chaos War series, stories set during the war of the Dragons of Summer Flame, the New York Times best-selling novel co-authored by Margaret Weis.

Great story and great narrator!

This has been one of my favorite books since it came out and so at first I was apprehensive about getting the audiobook, due to Audible's poor selection of narrators. I'm glad I was pleasantly surprised and want to thank Nick Sullivan, for his amazing performance! He was on point with character voices and his ability to bring life into the story! The next Dragonlance books I look at will be the ones narrated by him.
As for the story, it's great and very entertaining. It's got parts that will have you laughing and other parts that completely pull you in.

Fantastic Fun

What did you love best about The Doom Brigade?

The characters are inanimately enjoyable. Kang and Selquist are both interesting well rounded and wonderful. Slyth is also great as is Ogger and Mortar and Pestle. Wonderful cast and Nick Sullivan is an exquisite voice actor

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Doom Brigade?

There are many memorable moments and in truth, i've no desire to spoil them by writing them here. You get attached to the characters and their circumstances, when things start to happen you get swept up in action just as they do.

Which scene was your favorite?

Last few chapters of the book were somehow even more fantastic than the chapters leading up to them and the payoff at the end is awesome.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Sometimes survival isn't enough.

Any additional comments?

Man I wish that there was more to this series then just 2 books! I'm guessing that it just didn't attract the appropriate attention when it came out in 1996, but man, it should have. This is a very fun read. I'm off to go buy the next book in the series. Much love to Perin and Weis.

A solid, if slightly flawed, take on a fun book

Good story; read it before. Performance pretty good but could have used more editing - narrator sometimes used the wrong voices and it stood out in my opinion.

A story of Hope!

Well paced, World building and hopeful.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Hard to tell, its a tie between Kang and Selquest.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

I think so, the voice acting made the charakters distinctive and easy to tell apart.

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

Kangs momentary loss of courage before the .... ......(no spoilers) before he regains his faith and resolve.

Any additional comments?

If you like Dragonlance and its world this book will provide some good world building of a otherwise bland badguy race made to foil the heroes and make them seem like real living creatures.
