For six months things went well. Then one night Minalan is forced to pick up his mageblade again to defend his adopted home from the vanguard of an army of goblins bent on a genocidal crusade against all mankind. And that was the good news. Blue mages learn skills from beasts. This is the story of one fortunate enough to be taken in by dragons. Five days after Owen Zastava Pitt pushed his insufferable boss out of a 14th story window, he woke up in the hospital with a scarred face, an unbelievable memory, and a job offer.
It turns out that monsters are real. All the things from myth, legend, and B-movies are out there, waiting in the shadows.
Some of them are evil, and some are just hungry. Monster Hunter International is the premier eradication company in the business.
And now Owen is their newest recruit. Robert "Bubba" Brabham never wanted to hunt monsters. He mostly wanted to drink beer, hunt deer, and chase women, like every other giant redneck in the world. But life interfered, and Bubba found himself holster-deep in the family business: monster hunting. Bubba has to save the world from the things that go bump in the night! Just as soon as he's done with his beer.
And maybe after one more lap dance. New York Times best-selling author Simon R. Green has crafted numerous acclaimed science-fiction and fantasy novels, including Blue Moon Rising , Blood and Honor , and Shadows Fall.
But what exactly? After dying and being reborn into a world that's built like a video game, Jim has found himself stuck in a very old-world style new-player zone for low-level adventurers. Unfortunately, the zone fell out of use centuries ago, and no one told the monsters they were supposed to take it easy on the Noobs. Even worse, the only new player around is Jim.
Jim has been given an opportunity, and he'll do his best to take advantage of it. Welcome to the Five Isles, where war has come in the name of the invading army of Sor Sevier, a merciless host driven by the prophetic fervor of the Angel Prince, Aeros, toward the last unconquered kingdom of Gul Kana. Yet Gault, one of the elite Knights Archaic of Sor Sevier, is growing disillusioned by the crusade he is at the vanguard of just as it embarks on his Lord Aeros' greatest triumph.
While the eldest son of the fallen king of Gul Kana now reigns in ever increasing paranoid isolationism, his two sisters seek their own paths. After the War of the Gods, the demons were cast out and fell to the world. Mankind was nearly eradicated by the seemingly unstoppable beasts until the gods sent the great hero, Ramrowan, to save them. He united the tribes, gave them magic, and drove the demons into the sea. Ever since, the land has belonged to man, and the oceans have remained an uncrossable hell, leaving the continent of Lok isolated. Driven by revenge, Serena and Gallows must join forces to take down the conspiracy before the kingdom falls to ruin.
Symphony of the Wind is the first audiobook in a gritty epic fantasy trilogy. Eighteen years have passed since the rebellion within the Order. The once peaceful kingdom is now in turmoil, and its citizens seek a savior.
Emerging from the shadows, a dangerous man sets his master plan in motion - one that will elevate him to the highest political position in the realm and give him power over the masses. Only the prophet and the rest of the Order stand in his way. Rupert didn't especially want to be a prince. And he certainly never asked to be the second son of a royal line that really didn't need a spare. So he was sent out to slay a dragon and prove himself - a quest straight out of legend.
But he also discovered the kinds of things legends tend to leave out, as well as the usual demons, goblins, the dreaded Night Witch - and even worse terrors hidden in the shadows of Darkwood. Rupert did find a fiery dragon - and a beautiful princess to rescue. But the dragon turned out to be a better friend than anyone back at the castle, and with the evil of Darkwood spreading, Rupert was going to need all the friends he could get.
Would you consider the audio edition of Blue Moon Rising to be better than the print version?
I would rather listen to the audible version the narrator is excellent he puts you right there. What did you like best about this story? It has humor action and court intrigue. Which scene was your favorite? Although I don't have one favorite scene I would say Rupert and his unicorn have some pretty cool banter they're pretty funny.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? I like the way Ruppert cares about the towns people and people in general's nice to see a person in a royal position actually care about the little people. Any additional comments? Don't miss out on this book I guarantee you will like it and Audible is very cool if you don't like it they will give you your credit back but you won't want it back on this book it's great. I have read a few of his other series and thoroughly enjoyed them.
This is a side of him I haven't seen. It is amusing while being dark. This last is refreshing stuff. In short, very violent, very funny, very good. Coda bounds forward at a terrific pace…always keeping its focus on the characters rather than impenetrable technobabble. Coda retains the sense of adventure and high spirits that so many epics lose when they drown in their own backstory.
Green uses every trick in his extensive repertoire in constructing this ultimate Deathstalker adventure. Highly recommended. Green has packed Mysterie with a cast of colorful characters. Green throws it all in a lender and what comes out is a very satisfying story. Fans of the urban fantasies of Charles de Lint and Tanya Huff should enjoy this multilayered tale. For most fantasy collections. It is also a highly entertaining book, easy to read and great fun. Without making it an actual comic story, Green writes with a dry wit and irony which is refreshing and appealing, particularly when compared to the pedestrian nature of much fantasy writing.
The finale is epic.
Read up on reviews of the Hawk and Fisher series to see what they were. Ships in 7 to 10 business days. New York Times best-selling author Simon R. Book 1. Yes Any additional comments? I had to get used to the very slite differences in inflection that the narrator gave each character but I did enjoy the grace of his reading style.
His first foray into more traditional crime fiction albeit with an otherworldy flavor will delight mystery readers, especially those who relish a bit of genre blending. If anything it was over too soon.
