About this listen
Even the greatest assassin in the galaxy had to start somewhere.
Life as an orphan was quiet, if not exciting, but that existence was turned upside-down in a life-changing instant. Abruptly snatched up and whisked away light years from home, young Bawb found himself thrust into an entirely new life. One that would see his days filled with brutal training of both mind and body, and where failure could have extreme consequences. It would be a difficult existence of sweat, pain, and struggle, where injury and even death were on the line.
Unbelievable as it seemed, this was his destiny.
Bawb was not just any boy. He was a Wampeh, and among them one of the rarest of his kind, possessing hidden abilities that could lead to his meteoric ascent into the ranks of the Wampeh Ghalian… or could just as easily result in his early demise. The struggle would take years of hard work, but if he overcame all odds and survived the ordeal, he could then count himself among the most elite in the galaxy.
But first there would be training, facing challenges the likes of which his young mind could not yet fathom as he embarked on the long and twisting road leading him to evolve into the great warrior he was destined to be.
Author Note: This series follows the origins and adventures of Bawb, a fan favorite character from the Bad Luck Charlie books (the Dragon Mage series). This series contains no spoilers for the Charlie series. You do not need to have listen to the Charlie books first.
Also related to this series is the Space Assassins series, which takes place directly before these books. The Space Assassins series is closely related and many characters from that series also appear in these books. Note that there are some spoilers if you have not listened to the Space Assassins series first, but none that I feel will ruin that series.

If you loved Charlie and Daisy's adventures, this just adds to the fun.
I've always liked Bawb as a character from the other stories involving Charlie and co. Despite his reputation as an elite assassin, he has heart and integrity and a warmth about him.
This is his tale, and it shows that he has always been an interesting character to read about.
As I have come to expect from Scott Baron, this is well written, well structured and throughly entertaining, and as I write this, the second book has downloaded so I'm off to continue with the adventures.

The beginning of a Legendary tale
I found myself taking the long way home so I could listen more.
If you’re new to Scott Baron’s work, this will be a real treat for you, and welcome
If you’re an old hat, this feels like coming home from a grinding day at work to find that old friends are waiting on your doorstep with a couple of cold beers!
Another great listen, I’m ready for more

Great story Continued
Another tangent in an awesome series of stories, brilliantly written and sometimes predictable but always leaving a smile on the face or a tug on the emotions, probably my favourite narrator of the Scott Barron books

Great prequel!
Having only discovered the author’s work recently through a Reddit post of all places, I’ve devoured all available content eagerly. Finding that we were getting the Geist’s backstory was great news, and the first instalment doesn’t disappoint. Well written, well paced and well read - this is some great sci fi fantasy. Familiar characters make appearances, and lots of new faces. The author manages to write a great prequel with lots of hints and nods to future events, without feeling like you know how it’s going to end. Excellent stuff! Can’t wait for the rest!
