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.

Haven't laughed so hard in awhile!

This is a hilarious adventure! All characters have their own unique quirks. I had a great laugh following the story! Just brilliant humour all around.

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.

How Much Fun Can Your Ears Have! Superb Audiobook

I write this having finished listening to all four in the Antiheroes Series.

I am not even going to try to write an airy fairy high brow review because, well to be honest, I find them boring to read so . .

An honest review is . . I haven't laughed so much at a book in a long time. These were wonderful, uplifting books with superb dialogue between the characters. The story lines are brilliant at swerving you in a direction you didn't think they would be going.

The writing enabled you to almost befriend the characters as they happily . . or not . . trudged through their quests.

It is a series that ended and left my husband and I just wanting another book to appear.

If you enjoy laughing at a good yarn whilst trying to figure what 'the gods' are doing . . this is it! I can't recommend it enough.

Thank you so much

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.
