Clay Cooper and his band were once the best of the best - the meanest, dirtiest, most feared and admired crew of mercenaries this side of the Heartwyld.
But their glory days are long past; the mercs have grown apart and grown old, fat, drunk - or a combination of the three. Then a former bandmate turns up at Clay's door with a plea for help: his daughter Rose is trapped in a city besieged by an enemy horde one hundred thousand strong and hungry for blood. Rescuing Rose is the kind of impossible mission that only the very brave or the very stupid would sign up for.
It's time to get the band back together for one last tour across the Wyld.

The gist of the story is somewhat standard, done many times. The schtick of the mercenaries groups being handled as if rock bands, is cool, and not overused - I mean it is always there in the story, but not to the detriment of the details or anything. It is just part of the world building, and feels natural. And cool :)
And yet, I ended up caring for pretty much all of the characters - be it main or side, all of them were relatable by one way or another. the heroes' journey was well crafted, well built, and to top it off, well handled at the end.
The villain, well, he probably could have been fleshed out a bit more, but nevertheless served the story well, and too was relatable and "grey" enough to evoke some sympathy which made story better.
The narrator did fantastic job with the different characters. I enjoyed his reading tremendously. Well done to him too!
Better than I expected, and I expected good book

No.
Have we seen this kind of story before?
Yes.
Does it take it self serious?
No.
And still this book was amazing, it had me from the start to finish. I just love the callback to old rock ledgends. It felt like an amazing D&D campain with your best friends.
What a fun ride.

A small warning though, the language is a little strong, but that's part of the fun...
but if you don't want your younger children asking what clusterfuck means, perhaps it's not for the youngest audience.
Both thumbs up. Way up.
great fantasy + super humor = fantastic book
