Swordsman of the Rift

Swordsman of the Rift Series, Book 1

By: Brandon Varnell

Narrated by: Rudy Sanda

Bryan Jenson is a former Marine who's been running from his past. When an acquaintance comes to him with a job, he takes it. He doesn't care about the pay or the job specifics. He just wants to escape the nightmares.

But in trying to run from his past, he runs into an even more terrifying nightmare when he and four others journey into the Rift Plains - a dimension connected to hundreds of other worlds. His party is overwhelmed, and Bryan is taken prisoner.

Now, he must team up with an archangel who has lost more than half her power and a low-level succubus to escape, get back at the woman who captured him, and defeat the Dungeon Master of this unknown world.

Simple, right?

Contains mature themes.

Nice story!

Was a great start to a new series in this multi work universe! Got me wanting to go to see how the other stories helps up to this one! I hope for the next book for this series is done being recorded soon!

Nice Story

This is a pretty good story. A good start to this series with potential. Unique story to a fantasy story.

good story

I thought this story was very entertaining and seems to have a clear direction. I look forward to next in series. this was my first book by the author and first by the narrator. I was pleased that the narrator has many clear distinct voices. the authors style seems smooth and fluid without leaving to many holes. thanks

Really bad narration

It’s amazing how one narrator can ruin a decent story. Whoever did the female voices was terrible. And some of the male narratives sounded like a stoner from California lol. Also when they are checking the treasure chest from the head succubus they found potions of life essence to raise levels but that’s totally stupid because if that other demon had them why didn’t she just use them to increase her own level instead of just letting them sit in a chest doing nothing? Stupid!!!

The usual anime derived tripe.

Meh, there are worse ways to spend an afternoon. the only glaring complaint is the narrorator. I think an out of tune piano could have voiced the characters better. His voice acting is annoyingly percussive, and he is tone deaf to the variations of female voices. I question why some one would go through the trouble of hiring an actor to voice their book and then pay for... this.
