Publisher's summary
Angus Redbeard was nobody until a fateful mistake made him one of the most famous dwarves in history. Now he has a year to prove himself worthy of his new title - and become a hero. Like ripples from a skipping stone on a still lake, Angus’ exploits reverberate, triggering dormant entities. Before long, fights become battles and battles become wars, and Angus finds himself defending people he never expected to know from long-latent threats roused by his own escapades.
Follow Angus on his quest to find elves, outwit politicians, survive goblins, orcs, and trolls, and discover what he’s really made of. Holtgart begins the epic fantasy series The Harkentale Saga, a comedic romp forged from equal parts action and adventure, with a dash of world-saving, and a hearty side of diverse new friends.

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Story
I’ve always been a scrapper, so when I was snatched from my world by shadow creatures and hauled to another one, I did as I’d always done. I fought. But I still didn’t know anything about where I was. My luck was in, because I quickly had the good fortune of meeting a sexy prophetess and a gorgeous, blue-skinned, redheaded mage who said she was something called a moonwisp. Yeah, magic was a thing. The problem with that? Everyone in the world had some. Magic, that is. Everyone but me. I guess that’s what I get for coming from a non-magic world.

In 1099, the armies of Christendom march for Jerusalem. Mercenary captain Robert Cutnose finds himself in the belly of a siege tower waiting to storm the walls in a desperate attempt to take the city. But what they find inside the city is far more terrifying than the arrows and spears that fly their way. After a savage attack by the moonlight, Cutnose's lifeblood leaks from his veins, and he is thrust into an immortal war between the Order and their prey they simply call the Hunted. Each desires to own a relic with power far greater than he could ever imagine.

All she really wanted to do now is to go out into the world and see the many lands from her father's stories. This is the story of what happens when you toss a (retired) war machine with somewhat lacking common sense into an unsuspecting world at peace.

Fantastical Adventure and More!
Angus Redbeard is either accident-prone, extremely lucky, or a true hero. Regardless, he has a year to prove his worthiness! His journey to prove himself triggers many incidents and wakes many entities thus creating battles that soon escalate into wars! Throughout Angus’ adventurous journey, he encounters many with their agenda including elves, politicians, goblins, orcs, and trolls. All guarantee an adventure worth experiencing!
The author, Jeremy James Smith, weaves a fantastical narrative that is rich with action, and adventure, and peppered with moral decisions. Smith is deliberate in his world and character building providing a strong narrative that immerses the listener completely. Each plot twist is well executed and moves the story forward in a logical manner. I thoroughly enjoyed his building of the character Angus which emphasizes not only luck and hard work but also that sometimes things just happen because they are meant to. The dialogue was strong and kept the story moving forward at a steady pace.
The narrator, Dustin Sipes, vividly brings each character to life using distinct accents and rich tones. His consistency in voices and deliberate cadence further enrich the narrative. With epic-length audiobooks, a solid and entertaining narrator is necessary to keep the audience focused and entertained. Dustin Sipes delivers!
This is a highly entertaining novel that draws in the listener, keeping them immersed until the end. I look forward to hearing what Angus Redbeard does next!

Jeremy James Smith tells a fantastical tale
In Holtgart, the listener is introduced to Angus, a virtual invisible nobody in his community of dwarves, whose fate takes a turn for the better, and gives him fame. Eventually, he keeps having to always prove his worth. I haven't listened to anything from this author before, and I really enjoyed it. I did read the print version of the story, and enjoyed it, but I also really enjoyed this audiobook. Angus has to go through a lot of things, battles, wars, and defending people. What an incredible world built by Jeremy James Smith. Jeremy James Smith has a great imagination. Angus is a dwarf, but he is something special, even when he thought he was a nobody. Angus is determined and tenacious. This story is a timeless tale, fantasy. I hope to listen to more books by Jeremy James Smith. This is an epic story, and I hope there are more to come, as the volume says it's one of the Harkentale Saga. It's a great story to follow and try to figure out what will happen next. The listener embarks on a fantastical journey. I like that there is serious parts of the story, such as war and survival, but it is also balanced with comedic actions and dialogue. What a great story to read! Who could ask for more when it's filled with magical/fantastical creatures and other interesting beings? The narration brings it to life, as the narrator can change his accents from when he narrates, and then when he is doing dialogue of the story. Holtgart on audiobook is a definite listening recommendation by Amy's Bookshelf Reviews. I look forward to listening to many more titles by this author. Amy's Bookshelf Reviews recommends that anyone who listens to this book, to also write a review.

Smart, endearing, and hilarious
I've read the paperback version of Holtgart, but when I saw that I could listen to it with characters having unique accents and voices, I jumped on it. This audiobook version did not disappoint. The skills of the narrator combined with the author's already smart humor took it over the top for me. If you want an experience that will make you laugh out loud, you need to download Holtgart and listen right now.
Angus, a young dwarf at 90, makes a huge mistake. In order to prove to his Holt that it was unintentional and to live up to his new name, Angus must traverse their world to tell of his deed and rekindle ancient alliances with elves, humans, and other Holts. His young nature combined with Dwarven pride and brandy, lead him to make political and social, if unintentional, mistakes that only add to a brewing war. He must decide which side he will take and how involved he and his Holt will be.
Angus takes you for a ride. You'll be embarrassed for him in one scene, laughing at him in another, and ready to rally at his side when he stands for what is right in a third. The author's humor is meant for adults, but is light and positive. There are hints of a theme surrounding leadership and whether it should be based on experience or other qualifiers, but those themes are deeply embedded in an epic fantasy that leans on fun world building and relatable, diverse characters. A must listen for anyone that loves fantasy.
