About this listen

After five years as a city guard, Durham's horizontal career trajectory adds a corkscrew when a mis-delivered order assigns him to caravan duty for an eclectic group of dwarves who hire themselves out as professional dungeoneers. No ruler wants to leave a powerful magical weapon lying about in a dungeon where just any prophesied upstart can stumble across it and use it to overthrow the kingdom. That's where the dungeoneers come in. Dungeons sacked, artifacts recovered, no job too big or too small. They're not adventurers; they're professionals. With the discovery that Durham may have arrived with a destiny attached to him, the dungeoneers find themselves in the midst of some history about to happen. Will experience and Dwarven know-how be enough to carry the day?

loved it

Due to a lackluster narrator who places emotion and emphasis on the wrong parts of sentences and frequently mispronounces words, this is a tale that is better read than listened to. Ignoring the audiobook, the actual story is slow to get started and drags in spots, but is otherwise a solid yarn from a first time author (I'm assuming he is a first time author). Worth a read!

Good story, Lackluster Narrator

I found this book fun and from a unique perspective. The Dungeoneers were such to follow particularly when the bypassed the puzzles on the lock by just ramming down the door with a battering ram.

I also liked how the liche arranged things to get our main character involved in the story. And that our hapless guard was actually really observant but side gated due to him solving the murder of a sheep.

And that the main character ended up the king of a flooded kingdom.

Nice to Follow Some Component Adventures for Once

I really enjoyed this story. It is different than most of the fantasies I've read. There is some humor and even a chicken gets to play a major part. Loved it.

Recommended to my daughter.

As an avid D&D fan through the years, I've really enjoyed the new line of books popping up that take a fun romp through the experience. I found the Dungeoneers fun and irreverent. Just like I like. I recognized much of the excitement from my own past games which made it even more fun. This is not a serious novel which is just like I like it. I'm looking forward to the next book.

Fun perspective

Can't really say this is a work of pure literary genius, it is however, fun to listen to. The length vs cost is a little on the down side though. I purchased the follow on book for some nice listening on a long drive.

Easy listen, nice light story

This book was fun, but could have used some more work.

I LOVE the basic concept and there were a lot of really fun sequences in the book.

There are a lot of pacing issues. The first few chapters attempt to introduce the characters and it succeeds with a couple of them, but the cast is Quite large and most of the character remain largely unused in the book. There are a lot of middle chapters where basically nothing happens and it gets described in large detail. The ending remains at a similar pace and there's no sense of building tension.

The characters don't develop much, and again there are a lot of characters who are introduced and forgotten. I constantly found myself either wondering who a named character is or going "oh yeah, I forgot about them!" If I had read this any more slowly than the 2 days it took me, I would probably have ended up completely lost with the cast.

The ending of the book also left me feeling a bit of "Oh, this wasn't really a book. This was a prelude to a series."

The book showed a lot of promise, so I will probably check out the series again at a later time, but it didn't hook me enough that I'd particularly recommend it just from the first book.

Could use polish
