About this listen
Upon the shores of an ancient sea in a long-forgotten land, the slaves of Kel - the city of tears - cried out for a hero, one who would save them from their tormented existence. What they got was Silas Kane, the most inept paladin to ever defile a holy symbol.
Raised by insane monks, he’s out to spread the love of his god...whether or not anyone wants it. With a high tolerance for pain and a dump stat in intelligence, Silas is on a quest to end the suffering of those in need - one way or the other.

Hi. I am Brandon Thighmaster. Monk. Hero. Inspiration. I enjoy crunching, squats, looking at myself, looking at other people looking at myself, and long walks on the beach. I also do adventures and stuff, and I guess you can read about them here. But enough about you, let's talk about me. Brandon Thighmaster.

Story
A man. His ex-girlfriend's cat. A sadistic game show unlike anything in the universe: a dungeon crawl where survival depends on killing your prey in the most entertaining way possible. In a flash, every human-erected construction on Earth - from Buckingham Palace to the tiniest of sheds - collapses in a heap, sinking into the ground. The buildings and all the people inside have all been atomized and transformed into the dungeon: an 18-level labyrinth filled with traps, monsters, and loot.

Can the peace of the afterlife compare to the pleasures of the flesh? Lydia Strom has an incredible love life. For her, there are no forbidden desires, fantasies left unexplored, or boundaries that can't be crossed. There's just one small problem. She died three years ago. Somehow her husband has found a way to transcend the barrier between life and death so as to bring her soul back for short periods. Each time Lydia awakens, she's in control of a different body.

Story
My name’s Bill Ryder and five years ago I saved the world, banishing magic and monsters to the shadows. Not bad for a game programmer from New York. Anyway, I thought it was over, that I was done with all that supernatural crap. Too bad shit's about to get surreal again. Now the impossible has happened. My goddaughter is conjuring fireballs from thin air and two vampires have shown up at my doorstep looking to kick my ass.

What happens when the haggling is done and the shops are closed? When the quest has been given, the steeds saddled, and the adventurers are off to their next encounter? They keep the world running, the food cooked, and the horses shoed, yet what adventurer has ever spared a thought or concern for the Non-Player Characters? In the town of Maplebark, four such NPCs settle in for a night of actively ignoring the adventurers drinking in the tavern when things go quickly and fatally awry.

Story
Hank is a thug. He knows he's a thug. He has no problem with that realization. In his view the galaxy has given him a gift: a mutation that allows him to withstand great deals of physical trauma. He puts his abilities to the best use possible and that isn't by being a scientist. Besides, the space station Belvaille doesn't need scientists. It is not, generally, a thinking person's locale. It is the remotest habitation in the entire Colmarian Confederation. There is literally no reason to be there.

Imagine going to bed with mousy brown locks and waking up with a headful of supernova scarlet. It's a hot new look for me - literally, because it bursts into flames whenever I'm threatened. My magical makeover is all Gary's fault. I knew there was something off from the moment he transferred to my school. Go figure. He's a wizard with a trust fund and an inferiority complex. Now, thanks to him, I've graduated from high school bullies to supernatural terrors and that's not all. Fate has chosen me to face the legendary vampire destined to destroy the world.

It's a bad day when Erin finds herself transported to a fantastical world and nearly gets eaten by a Dragon.

Jin Rou wanted to be a cultivator. A man powerful enough to defy the heavens. A master of martial arts. A lord of spiritual power. Unfortunately for him, he died, and now I’m stuck in his body. Arrogant Masters? Heavenly Tribulations? All that violence and bloodshed? Yeah, no thanks. I’m getting out of here. Farm life sounds pretty great. Tilling a field by hand is fun when you’ve got the strength of ten men—though maybe I shouldn’t have fed those Spirit Herbs to my pet rooster.

Enjoyable origin of the paladin we love to hate!
The origin of Silas Kane, hilariously unlikable paladin of the Authors & Dragons podcast, is about as messed up as you'd expect if you're a fan of the series. The tale is delivered with Gualtieri's trademark sarcasm and humor and earns plenty of laughs. Narration is well done and production value is high.

What else could anyone expect from Silas
He is the true hero the world deserves. With no goal other than to help people realize there own sin and help them attempt to strive to fail to receive The blessing of his Nobel true god. If you do not purchase this book at least go forth knowing you are nothing more than the root on the bottom a dwarfs boot.

Funny story about misguided zealot
This is an amusing tale of a zealot and his path through the world. Silas is single minded in his pursuit of devotion to his good, who's will and ethos he does not quite understand, having been taught a twisted version since a young age. His ardent fervor knows no bounds and he carves a path through adversity with hilarious, if bloody, results. A fun short story.

Finally Silas Kane as a True Badass
Rick Gualtieri's Best Book. Silas is so badass his actions not only defeat slavery, an economic sector, and finally the city. He takes down and breaks a Demigod or Avatar's Holiness. Truly the most Badass and Greatest Junior Adventurer.

Authors and Dragons: Keeping and eye out for more
I was pleasantly surprised by this story. I had never heard of the Authors and Dragons Podcast and only picked it up because the price was good and I like humorous fantasy. Also, I have read some of the Bill the vampire series by Rick Gualtieri and while I eventually got tired of the series, I did enjoy the first several books.
This book was hilarious. The main character is a straw man exaggeration of religious extremism, but just seeing how he interacts with the world and how the world reacts to him is great.
As a bonus, I ended up looking up Authors and Dragons and finding the podcast which I've also been now listening to and enjoying and which has introduced me to a few new authors who works I think I will enjoy.

Perfect portrayal of his A&D podcast character!
Great story! Kudos to Matt for the reading as well. The only thing I felt it was missing was Rick's actual voice whenever Silas spoke. His super quick succession of breaths (sorry Rick - I know this is actually you) mid-sentence during the A&E podcast always reminded me of that creepy little guy from Raiders of the Lost Ark and that fit the character of Silas SO perfectly that not even a professional voice actor could touch it. Excellent writing here. If you're a fan of the Author's and Dragons podcast, it is definitely a must buy.
