The Iron Druid Chronicles, Book 5

By: Kevin Hearne

Narrated by: Luke Daniels

In the fifth novel in the New York Times bestselling Iron Druid Chronicles, two-thousand-year-old Druid Atticus O’Sullivan will at last bind a new Druid to protect the earth—but first he must go toe-to-toe with the Roman god Bacchus, the Norse pantheon, and an ancient vampire, all hell-bent on ensuring his demise.

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

The downside to faking your own death is that people tend to get upset when they find out they’ve been had. In Atticus O’Sullivan’s case, they’re upset enough to come after him to make sure he dies for real this time. Yet he can’t remain in hiding anymore: He has to bind his apprentice, Granuaile, to the earth so that she can become the first new Druid in centuries.

But the Roman god Bacchus wants mortal revenge for a slight against him, and he proceeds to act on the principle that Atticus should hate his life until it can be ended. Members of the Norse pantheon aren’t particularly pleased with Atticus either—especially one who had languished in darkness, slowly going mad, and is now free to work his mischief again.

On top of that, an ancient vampire, who’d like to remove Atticus and Granuaile as threats to his kind, is working on his own plan for their destruction.

Forced to work at the base of Mount Olympus, Atticus and Granuaile must survive the three-month process of her binding and escape the many traps set for them. It’s fortunate that they have Oberon the Irish Wolfhound on their side—but is one good dog going to be enough to see them through it?

Critic reviews

Praise for The Iron Druid Chronicles

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

“[The Iron Druid books] are clever, fast-paced and a good escape.”—Boing Boing

“Hearne understands the two main necessities of good fantasy stories: for all the wisecracks and action, he never loses sight of delivering a sense of wonder to his readers, and he understands that magic use always comes with a price. Highly recommended.”—The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction

“Superb . . . plenty of quips and zap-pow-bang fighting.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“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

“[Atticus is] a strong modern hero with a long history and the wit to survive in the twenty-first century. . . . A snappy narrative voice . . . a savvy urban fantasy adventure.”—Library Journal

“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

“Outrageously fun.”—The Plain Dealer

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

RAGNAROK HAD COME!!!!!????

Crazy Loki is here, that means it's time for final battle in which Atticus supposed to be a substitute for Thor, but apparently everyone started without him, Slavic plain of existence is burning, even one of the gods is running!!!

And here something shifts I can't say how but the idea of apocalypse got lost somewhere along the way.
Everything turned into a common theme of the previous books "Everybody are trying to get Atticus into trouble and he is reluctant to make new enemies"


PS
I never stop comparing this series to "DRESDEN FILES" and this year new books in the series were released on the same day.Both series previous books ended on cliff hanger, but Dresden files wins this battle.Both books were great but this series can be more, much more, it lacks something important, I hope this something will be in the next book.

NEXT BOOK IS "HUNTED"
This title will be released on June 25, 2013.

Book 5 still going strong

Normally after the 2nd or 3rd book in a series I get bored. Not so with Iron Druid. Great story with plenty of humor.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Love this series.

It's the Iron Druid I need not say more. I absolutely love the series. The narrator did a fantastic job. I look forward to hearing more books in the series. This series is right up there with the Dresden files. Hello Sarah and John how are you guys? See you guys a little bit bye.

Another Solid Book in the Series

I honestly don't know how Kevin Hearne did it, but I continue to be quiet pleased with his continuations of his Iron Druid books. I may be biased here, but I think that you can't go wrong with the team of Kevin Hearne & Luke Daniels. Unfortunately, all 8 books have been written, and I now have 1 less book to go. Book 6.. here i come

Great Series

Another great book in this series, love the narrator Luke Daniels and the story lines builds upon the previous book. Keep them coming...
