Professional heroes kill and loot deadly monsters every day, but Gorm Ingerson's latest quest will be anything but business as usual. The adventuring industry drives the economy of Arth, a world much like our own but with more magic and fewer vowels. Monsters' hoards are claimed, bought by corporate interests, and sold off to plunder funds long before the Heroes' Guild actually kills the beasts. Of course, that's a terrible arrangement for the Shadowkin; orcs, goblins, kobolds, and their ilk must apply for to become Noncombatant Paper Carriers to avoid being killed and looted by heroes.

Henry and Jason led normal lives in Seattle before they were abducted to another world. Their kidnapper, the vain, self-styled god Dolos, refuses to send them back unless they can accomplish an impossible task. Oddly, Dolos doesn't seem to care if they succeed or not. Luckily, Henry and Jason studied Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA) on Earth. Unfortunately, a Japanese American EMT and a geeky IT programmer don't have many other useful skills on a sword-and-sorcery world like Ludus.

A plucky farm boy will find more than he's bargained for on his quest to awaken the sleeping princess in her cursed tower. First there's the Dark Lord, who wishes for the boy's untimely death...and also very fine cheese. Then there's a bard without a song in her heart but with a very adorable and fuzzy tail, an assassin who fears not the night but is terrified of chickens, and a mighty fighter more frightened of her sword than of her chain-mail bikini. This journey will lead to sinister umlauts, a trash-talking goat, and the Dread Necromancer Steve....

What happens when the haggling is done and the shops are closed? When the quest has been given, the steeds saddled, and the adventurers are off to their next encounter? They keep the world running, the food cooked, and the horses shoed, yet what adventurer has ever spared a thought or concern for the Non-Player Characters? In the town of Maplebark, four such NPCs settle in for a night of actively ignoring the adventurers drinking in the tavern when things go quickly and fatally awry.

Publisher's Summary

King Cullin may be known as "the Dragon Slayer", but he fears his son’s legacy will be as "King Maurice Who Speaks with Proper Grammar". The boy keeps his nose buried in parchments, starry-eyed at the idea of noble knights and eager to hand royal gold to any con man hawking a unicorn horn. Tonight, though, Cullin will educate the prince in the truth behind minstrels’ silly songs of glory….

Long ago, in a kingdom, well, not that far from here really, young Cullin traveled the countryside as squire to brave Sir Dalbry, along with Dalbry’s trusted sidekick Reeger, selling dragon-protection services to every kingdom with a coffer. There were no dragons, of course, but with a collection of severed alligator heads and a willingness to play dirty, the trio of con men was crushing the competition. Then along came Princess Affonyl.

Tomboyish and with a head for alchemy, Affonyl faked a dragon of her own, escaped her arranged marriage, and threw in with Cullin and company. But with her father sending a crew of do-gooder knights to find her, the dragon business just got cutthroat.

THE SCABBY WENCH IS A CLASSY PLACE

PETS AND HORSES WERE NOT ALLOWED IN THE CASTLE, EXCEPT FOR SERVICE ANIMALS
Funny in a chuckling way. A king takes his overly mothered boy to the local tavern and tells him the story of how he went from orphan to king. THINK OF THE STARVING PEASANTS AND EAT FOR THEM. The telling is full of references to the way we do things today, which adds to the fun. I enjoyed this and if Anderson writes any more like this I will listen to them. SELF RESPECT IS OVER RATED.

CROTCH RUST
Langton does a great job

Fractured Fairy Tale

This amusing romp is free of bad language, steamy sex, and gratuitous gore--and is decidedly not for kids. Its wry commentary on modern business, deliberate anachronisms (an area is described as being suitable for a RennFaire--a futuristic event) and sly innuendos are not likely to be things that kids can relate to. On the other hand, those of us who belong to the demographic to which this book would have the greatest appeal might recall enjoying Rocky and Bullwinkle or Bugs Bunny when we too did not understand a lot of what was going on.
The narrator strikes just the right note for this tale, which is probably better experienced as an audiobook. Things that are amusing and unexpected when spoken often come off as forced in print.

Excellent Storytelling

What made the experience of listening to The Dragon Business the most enjoyable?

I have always enjoyed Kevin J. Anderson's storytelling. He knows just how to spin a tale to make it interesting and to feel real.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

It felt a little scattershot sometimes, and I felt like the end was a touch unsatisfying, but all in all it was excellent. Especially if I assume there will be a sequel, then the feeling of "more is to come" will be justified.

What does James Langton bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I liked the voices he did. Especially for Reeger.

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

I don't know if I'd say "moved", but I liked the reveal of the actual dragons. I honestly didn't see this coming. I expected more of a "liar revealed" story to happen. I liked the surprise.
