About this listen

They want him dead, but he won't die.

When left for dead, a relentless warrior named Venir rises again to roam the Outlands, protecting helpless denizens from a bloodthirsty magic-wielding subterranean race set on world domination. Led by two omnipotent wizards, the insidious underlings gather an invincible army of slayers called the Badoon to destroy the scourge Venir has become.

Seeking refuge in the City of Bone from a battle torn campaign, Venir's visit is short lived after he crosses the diabolical ruling class of Royals who put a price on his head. Forced back into the hostile Outlands ruled by Jarla, a former ally turned enemy, he finds himself up against her savage brigand army that will stop at nothing to bring him down.

With enemies closing in from all directions, Venir, a rogue named Melegal, and their battle-weary companions must fight through an endless cycle of backstabbing assassins, fiendish monsters, treacherous terrain, bloody skirmishes, and waves of lies and deceit. Or see their home descend into total chaos and devastation as well as the obliteration of mankind.

The Darkslayer series is an non-stop epic sword and sorcery slugfest adventure set in a world where the powers-that-be play with the lives of the unsuspecting inhabitants.

Fans of Frizt Leiber's Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser, David Gemmell's Druss the Legend, the Witcher, Raymond E. Feist's Pug the Wizard, Robert E. Howard's Conan or R.A. Salvatore's-Drizzt Do' Urden, delight in The Darkslayer series. Perhaps you will as well.

Craig Halloran and Lee Alan have several big collections, including Dragon Wars (128 hours) and Darkslayer (86 hour). I'm not sure if the original Darkslayer is part of this collection.

This is all sword and sorcery goodness. I've listened to the previous series a few times. The action is always very in-the-moment, you don't need to remember a lot of previous material. Right now, I'm listening to a fight scene, There are added sound effects of the crown. Lee Alan's deep baritone narration is perfect. He uses a distinct voice for each speaking character. There are occasional music snips at the beginning and ends of chapters. Great for background listening.

Now then, the bad ... this particular fight scene, it's well-written, well-performed and enjoyable, but not in the top 100 fight scenes, and not particularly memorable. Popcorn fantasy. I'm about 300 hours into this world, and can't recall much. I'm about that far into Wandering Inn. That series seems much slower, but has more memorable stuff. It's also more distracting as a listen. If you want gobs of high entertainment / low distraction, this is it.

Lee Alan is a marvel. Highly recommended.

I would not recommend this book, it’s all over the place, the audio quality is very bad not professionally done, the chapters are very unorganized, also a lot of background noises and feedback

Unorganized, poor story telling

I only made it a little over an hour into the audiobook and was interested in the story but I couldn't listen to the performance. First, while the narrator uses different voices for different characters which is awesome, some voices are really soft and hard to hear while the MC is loud and deep. Secondly, the sound effects like "taveren background voices" we're really distracting. Most of all, I had to stop listening because there is a high pitched ringing that just gives me a headache.

Meh

constant ringing noise after the first hr or so and the narrator has a deep voice and reads with a lot of bass. the combination of the two make listening hard...it's at least very distracting. if you can deal with that bit of inconvenience the storybuilding was off to a good start.

this would be a great audible series if it wasn't a jumbled mess. it skips sentences and pages or cuts off in the middle of sentences to start a new chapter, in some places the chapters are out of order and one chapter was recorded backwards. I would love to recommend this series because the characters are engaging in the writing is good. it's just impossible to keep track of what's going on, not because of the writer but because of who put the recording together. if you have time to read the series, I would suggest buying it in paperbacks
