Great to revist a classic
Revisado: 08-09-18
I loved the book when it first came out and it was nice to re-visit it in the audio format.
And is it just me or does Han sound like Joe Swanson from Family Guy (Patrick Wahlburton) and Admr. "It's a Trap" Ackbar sound like Reverend Jim from Taxi (Christopher Lloyd)....LOL

Large chests are said to encompass all manner of hopes and dreams. Men covet them. Women envy them. But one fact holds true - everyone wants to get their hands on some big ones. The same holds true for one intrepid adventurer - a strapping young lad by the name of Himmel. Armed with his grandfather's trusty longsword and the dream of being the strongest, he sets out on the journey of a lifetime!

What did you like best about this story?
I loved the progression of the Mimic as well as the interaction of his familiars. A great storyline that just kept me interested and did not slow down.
What does Jeff Hays bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The narrator (Jeff Hays) does a marvelous job. He does a great job of differentiating the characters so you always know who is speaking (one of my biggest pet peeves in audiobooks). Plus one for the Cartman-esque voice for the Mimic...loved it.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
SNACK!
Any additional comments?
Ignore the publishers summary. It has nothing to do with the overall book. In fact it took me a few chapters to figure out what the heck was going on but once I did I loved it. Really hope the author continues to write more like this.

to put it simply...a great book and highly recommended. played a few MMORPGs in the day (Diablo 2 baby) and I wasn't sure how this would translate to a book. I took a chance since I needed something new to listen to I decided to give it a try. after half way through this book I was downloading the second book so there would be no interruption in the magic (no pun intended...ok that's a lie...pun intended) of the story. stop reading this and go download it...you will not regret it.

Deathworld is the first in a series of novels begun in 1960. In it professional gambler Jason Dinalt who has "psionic" ability is hired to win a great deal of money for a mysterious and very imposing stranger. When he "breaks the bank" their expertly timed escape gets them off-world just in time. The gambler learns he has helped the dwellers of Pyruss otherwise known as "Deathworld" - a planet that appears to be fighting and trying to destroy its inhabitants.

Love his writing...but needs Phil Gigante
Revisado: 07-05-11
I have been a fan of Harry Harrison's works since I was a little sci-fi geek many (OK..many many) years ago. I have read all of his works and in fact the first book I downloaded was the Stainless Steel Rat. The first book I looked up was the Deathworld trilogy and was disappointed to not see it. When I saw the release of the first Deathworld I instantly bought it. Loved the book but I think they should have stuck with Phil Gigante who has done the VO work for the Stainless Steel series. I found Jim Roberts voice to be rather dry but I still enjoyed it. I am assuming they will use Mr. Roberts for final 2 books (for continuity) and his voice does lend to the dry-humor Harrison writes. Can't wait for the next 2 books.
