The Antiheroes

Antiheroes Series, Book 1

By: Jacob Peppers

Narrated by: Roger Clark

The world needed heroes.... It got them instead.

A swordsman past his prime who has vowed to never wield a blade again. A mage who'd rather throw fists than fireballs and thinks magic is for sissies. An assassin who grows sick at the sight of blood. And a man with a pet squirrel he believes to be an ancient god from long ago.

An evil has risen in the land, one that, if not dealt with, threatens to start a war which would include the gods themselves. To counter it, the realm must call on its greatest heroes, its most courageous adventurers. Unfortunately, those great heroes, those brave adventurers, are all busy - being dead mostly.

So it is left to Dannen Ateran, known in his youth as the Bloody Butcher, but more recently as the passed-out drunk at the table in the corner, to lead his companions against an army of the dead.

They are not heroes. But perhaps they just might do.

Diversity of non standard heros

I like the "Not perfect Heroes" could be said far from perfect. Vices & quirks make them more relatable.

Fun book to listen too

This was a fun book to listen too. I found the character snarky and funny. Worth a try.

Get it

Snarky and so well narrated! The writing is snappy and fun but Roger Clark's delivery is pitch perfect as Dannen. Such a worthwhile listen.

why I have audible

I love the sellsword series but I have to say these characters maybe even better. I listen to audible to hear a great story with awesome characters and dialogue in wich the the flawed good guy wins eventually. if I wanted to be preached to or receive a social lesson I'd get on tik tok or YouTube. If I wanted real drama and tragedy I'd watch the news. So this series is exactly why I have audible.

The not hero's, try. ironic humor, great reading.

I enjoyed this story. the Narrator does a great job with the voices. The story flowed well. The characters were you unique. cliff hanger.
