Historia
After winning two wars against the Nemovorti, Minalan plans an expedition to The Lost Valley of Anghysbel, in the far north of his realm. It's there, in the caldera of a supervolcano at the edge of the tundra, he suspects many of the answers he so desperately needs might be hidden. The only problem is that thanks to the anti-magical properties of the jevolar, his spells won’t work; he’ll be without magic for the first time since he came into his Talent.

ONE OF MY FAVORITES IN THE SERIES
Revisado: 12-08-21
If you made it this far in the series you know and probably love our good Spellmonger and his lords and ladies. This book takes us someplace completely new and exciting. I couldn't contain my laughter in some parts and wanted to shed a tear in others.
This book will leave you wanting and needing the next two books in the series. Good reading my friends!

Historia
Raised fatherless in a galactic Brinktown, Joe Pikeman only ever wanted to escape. The Galactic Guard offered that escape, with the promise of regular meals to boot. Now Joe is a full Guardsman, with his own ship and a snide partner bot who hates humans almost as much as he hates other bots. To the pirates he hunts, Joe is known as the Butcher. His bloody reputation has landed him in the center of a sweeping conspiracy that threatens to stamp out the galaxy’s last surviving human settlements.

Missing half the story
Revisado: 12-01-21
I purchased and listened to the three-book box set and really wanted to like it. My problem is simply the lack of some crucial character and story details. The story is about him being the chosen one but the interaction with the fount and Joe never goes anywhere. The details are just missing. He gets better shooting skills and can move faster but there are no better details to explain the interaction between the character and the new deity of the age. The introduction of his father tries to do it but it just misses the mark. No substance!
The book feels rushed at the ending with one "bad guy" still at large.
This was a disappointment for me.

Historia
More than a year after she helped save the world from the Sparnaxian invasion, Andrea Vernon is in a good place. Her boss is giving her greater responsibility and she’s getting to travel a lot (although her fill-in is hopeless at making coffee); things could be getting even more serious with her 8’ 4” superhero boyfriend, The Big Axe; and she has a really fun new BFF, Never More. Small issue, though, with that last item - Never More is a supervillain bent on world domination, and it looks as if nothing can stop her.

Family drama, super humans and a promotion! YEAH!
Revisado: 06-08-20
This is turning out to be one of the funniest series I've listened to in a while. If you're looking for a serious read or a life-changing epiphany this is not your book. But if you want some great comedy, really good writing and a great narrator then this is the series for you. Andrea Vernon is a badass Queens New Yorker who continues to navigate her odd job as Administrative Assistant for CUP while still contractually obligated to never ask questions! Ever. The story is complete comic book fiction but the way its written makes you think about every BS corporate highrise job you ever had or wanted and then laugh at it! Bahni Turpin is the perfect narrator for this series with her perfect timing and great voice selection for each character. I hope we don't have to wait long for book three!

Not a fan
Revisado: 04-19-19
I really wanted to enjoy this book, but I just couldn't get into it. If it hadn't taken me over 30 days to get through it I would return this one. It's reeeealy long but no substance. This is one man's opinion.

Historia
Minalan gets medieval! When you defeat the invading goblin army, get knighted on the field of battle, gifted with lands and gold, usually your happily-ever-after is...happy. But now that Minalan the Spellmonger has been ennobled and enfiefed, Sire Minalan has a task cut out for him that makes defeating goblins seem like child’s play: Moving his very pregnant bride and a few thousand refugees from Boval Vale into the remote, sparsely peopled Domain of Sevendor. But when he arrives, he finds the land withered from neglect, filled with superstition and suspicion.

This is an epic tale that just keeps going. TONS of dialogue between characters and some fluff. of course it's hard to not have fluff in a 31 hour book!

Historia
Professional heroes kill and loot deadly monsters every day, but Gorm Ingerson's latest quest will be anything but business as usual. The adventuring industry drives the economy of Arth, a world much like our own but with more magic and fewer vowels. Monsters' hoards are claimed, bought by corporate interests, and sold off to plunder funds long before the Heroes' Guild actually kills the beasts. That's a terrible arrangement for the Shadowkin; orcs, goblins, kobolds, and their ilk must apply for to become Noncombatant Paper Carriers to avoid being killed and looted by heroes.

Definitely Not a wasted credit!
Revisado: 03-19-18
Would you consider the audio edition of Orconomics: A Satire to be better than the print version?
Sorry, the audio version is the only one I've enjoyed!
Who was your favorite character and why?
Well, it would be easy to answer Gorm since he is the main character and a really nice guy. So I'm going to have to go with Kaitha. That little lady has it going on and has huge potential!
What does Doug Tisdale Jr. bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Tisdale is a master character reader, it was easy to tell the difference in the characters and there was a ton of life in his reading! Pike should make sure he reads the sequel.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Hell hath no fury like a goddess scorned!
Any additional comments?
I had a ton of fun with this book and can't wait for the next one. It's a little slow on the startup but the ride gets going pretty well! Well written and definitely well performed.

Bob Johansson didn't believe in an afterlife, so waking up after being killed in a car accident was a shock. To add to the surprise, he is now a sentient computer and the controlling intelligence for a Von Neumann probe. Bob and his copies have been spreading out from Earth for 40 years now, looking for habitable planets. But that's the only part of the plan that's still in one piece.

A great narrator helped but could not save this one. I really enjoyed book one but this one seemed like it never got off the ground. The worst part is I am guaranteed to buy book three.

I just couldn't get into this book. Had to return it after the first couple hours. The narrator was great but the story just wasn't engaging me.
