Whats it all about:
Jari Rockjaw, a dwarf from the Blue Mountains, wants to retire from bounty hunting, and after 100 years in the trenches chasing brigands, highwayman, and an assortment of creatures, he has earned it. He recruits a ragtag group of heroes that need that retirement check, too. In his company for retirement are his best friends Betha Silentnight, a female minotaur who kills first and asks questions later, and Toli Hookhand, a one-handed, horny dwarf who wants nothing but dwarven ass and money.
The trio prepare for one last mission to produce the coins needed for that permeant vacation on the coasts of Anak’anor, the mercenary hot spot and their favorite watering holes. Lord Polis Silverwell, a human with ties to the king of Ekepia, finds them and recruits the group who call themselves the Loners to take out Boro Spiderbinder, an evil dwarf who plans on world domination across Labrys.
Come join the Loners in an epic battle for survival, friendship, and retirement as they bullnose their way to the finish line. The question that will need answering is how many of them live to retire after their one last mission. Retirement is always easy to get when you’re the most hated company on Labrys.
My Thoughts:
Few of you know this but recently i have started to like dwarfs, no rythme or reason for it, i just do, so when i read a line in the synopsis (when you read it you will know), this book fell into my lap at just the right time and scratched that itch.
Every character was so deep and well written , even though we didn’t learn alot about them it was enough to keep me engaged from beginning to end
I loved the sound effects included at random points it added another layer of depth to it, the narrator for this fine tale was Walt Allen, a new narrator to me but I love his style and his pace and story telling kept me interested throughout, you can find more of Walt’s work here: https://www.audible.co.uk/search?searchNarrator=Walt+Allen&ref=a_pd_The-Ga_c1_narrator_1&pf_rd_p=aebffbf1-33ac-4be8-82f9-b498e9e5fcfa&pf_rd_r=P7SF2VPFT2TESQN0Q0V4&pageLoadId=6rHuAADqFRQbwsqG&creativeId=2b976816-4201-44fc-989c-4535caab7c59 , definitely want to hear more from him.
All in all a wonderful book, if you like your fantasy then you will enjoy this.
