Summary

The world needed heroes.... It got them instead.

A swordsman past his prime who has vowed to never wield a blade again. A mage who'd rather throw fists than fireballs and thinks magic is for sissies. An assassin who grows sick at the sight of blood. And a man with a pet squirrel he believes to be an ancient god from long ago.

An evil has risen in the land, one that, if not dealt with, threatens to start a war which would include the gods themselves. To counter it, the realm must call on its greatest heroes, its most courageous adventurers. Unfortunately, those great heroes, those brave adventurers, are all busy - being dead mostly.

So it is left to Dannen Ateran, known in his youth as the Bloody Butcher, but more recently as the passed-out drunk at the table in the corner, to lead his companions against an army of the dead.

They are not heroes. But perhaps they just might do.

A good idea spoiled by far too much inner dialogue

A good idea spoiled by far too much inner dialogue.
While the whole concept is good it ought to be noted that the plot is repetitive, overly verbose and wanders to the point of becoming predictable.

Good fun...

I enjoyed the twist on the fantasy genre. It's a genre that can get generic but this held enough of a difference to make it more enjoyable.

A fun audio book

This is a fun story brought to life by Roger Clark's wonderful performance. Always a treat to have him narrate the book. The story itself was interesting and kept me entertained, feeling inspired by Greek Mythology to an extent but at the same time I feel this book plays it somewhat safe and not truly diving into the possibilities that the story could allow for. Overall good first book and I look forward to listening to the 2nd book.
