Two Necromancers, a Bureaucrat, and an Army of Golems: An Unconventional Heroes Publisher's Pack

Unconventional Heroes, Book 1, 2

By: L. G. Estrella

Narrated by: Fred Berman

Contains Books 1 and 2 of the Unconventional Heroes series.

Two Necromancers, a Bureaucrat, and an Elf, book 1:

Two necromancers, a bureaucrat, and an elf - it sounds like the start of a bad joke, only the joke is on Timmy.

Timothy Walter Bolton - better known as Timmy - has spent most of his life as a necromancer. When he isn't terrorising his enemies, he's plotting inside his castle, which is built on top of lightless chasms filled with nameless horrors and beings of a generally malevolent and megalomaniacal nature. But after one of his latest creations, a zombie hydra-dragon-bear, tries to eat him, he decides that maybe it's time to find a new, less dangerous, career.

But that's easier said than done. He's a wanted criminal with no shortage of powerful (and crazy) enemies, and he has a bone or two to pick with the Everton Council of Mages.

It's a good thing that he's got some help: an obnoxious 10-year-old apprentice who thinks that pink glasses are appropriate for a budding necromancer and a bumbling bureaucrat who may or may not make it through their first real fight without puking his guts up. Wonderful.

Two Necromancers, an Army of Golems, and a Demon Lord, book 2:

Two necromancers, an army of golems, and a demon lord - it sounds like a recipe for trouble, and for Timmy, it definitely is.

To earn his pardon and avoid horrible torture and/or gruesome execution, Timmy has to complete every mission the Council throws his way, most of which seem to involve extremely scary things trying to kill him. At least he’s got help - sort of. His help consists of an apprentice with designs on his castle (and her plans may or may not involve overthrowing him), a bureaucrat whose two greatest skills are fainting in the face of trouble and using people (usually Timmy) as human shields, and an elf with the world's worst case of pyromania and enough magic to level a mountain.

Somehow, Timmy's got to get this bunch of unconventional heroes to work together. Trouble is coming, and it's trouble of the kind that only a necromancer like Timmy could possibly find himself in the middle of.

entertaining but ...

The story was entertaining but rhe production value was terrible. There were duplicate chapters listed and in chapter 2 of the second book there is a 5 minute section where paragraphs are repeated. It was fun even with the terrible production value.

Timmy's world

This is a delightful story about Timmy the necromancer and his 10-year-old assistant Katie. After a few creations tried to eat him, Timmy yearns for a quite life. He petitions the council who offer him amnesty if he does a few jobs for him. His adventures are harrowing, and he wins more with his wits than might. This is a funny story of unconventional heroes is a fantasy world.

fun

What's not to love about a hero who creates zombie hydra-drake-salamanders? Zombies and Dragons and creatures from the depths, oh my.

Our hero, Timmy and his sidekick Katie ( in pink glasses and pink uniforms for her rats) - 10 year old student Necromancer who plans on destroying him someday, and zombie armies take on the truly evil in swashbuckling fashion. Oh, and don't forget the rats who are expert in munitions.

It's all good clean fun, if a bit messy. Timmy has standards, he pays for his zombies instead of harvesting living people.

Looking forward to the sequel when baby dragon, Spot, hatches out.

Entertaining

Entertaining from the first pitch to the last can’t wait to listen to the other books.

Fun and Entertaining

I have truly come to love this series.. The stories are well written, entertaining, and fun. The performance by the narrator is fantastic, and after the first book, I ended up binging what’s available in the series.. This book (along with the rest of the series) is one I’d absolutely recommend!!
