Wasteland Warlords 1

By: James Hunter, eden Hudson

Narrated by: Travis Baldree

“You keep what you kill. That’s one law everybody out here respects.”

Twenty years ago, the Merge brought armies of monsters flooding into the West Coast.

Dungeons popped up in shopping malls, airports, and Starbucks. Walls were built to contain the spread, but the promise of priceless loot dropped by the creatures inspired a new type of gold rush. Magical weapons, powerful gear, potions to cure every ill...If you survive long enough to kill the mob, whatever they drop belongs to you.

Clay Jaeger has nothing left outside the walls. Civilization took everything he worked for, chewed it up, and spat it out. Now Clay, his wife Alex, and his beer-loving, chainsaw-toting brother, Joe, are going west to try their hand at monster killing.

The loot from the low-level mobs is enticing, but it isn’t the real reason they risked the Infested Zone. They need to kill a Dungeon Lord. Only one in 10,000 hunters pull it off. The rest become fertilizer for the wasteland. But the few who beat the odds gain riches, glory, and most importantly, the Dungeon Lord’s magical powers.

They have nothing left to lose and everything to gain. If they survive.

adhd approved

the story was nice and tight, litrpg mechanics refreshingly simple (I'm looking at you, Shirtaloon), characters interesting, and performance 10/10. the grammar police schtick speaks to my soul. I'm thrilled that two of the mains are happily, healthfully partnered.

Engaging and Fun

A rollicking adventure that keeps you unable to stop listening throughout. Imaginative and humorous respite from reality.

Audible flow is everything

I enjoyed the light tone and easy flow of the story. The pace was amazing!

short and sweet great story

the author did a great job of setting up exactly what the main characters needed to do, he put a little bit of conflict in there, and end of the story perfectly.

Monster hunting gold rush

Excellent short story about a man, his wife, and his dingus brother braving the monster infested Southwest in search of riches, power, and a miracle. I highly recommend.

A really good start

I really enjoyed the story, but it definitely isn’t a full book worth of a story. This is sort of like if you were writing a story about World of Warcraft and then ended it after defeating the Kobold Goldtooth in the first zone. It technically had a beginning, middle, and ending, but there is so much more story left to tell. It has barely begun and that is obvious.

Enjoyable listen

This is a fun listen. Well written. Good dialog. Definitely looking forward to the next books when they come out..

Crazy fun!

Wasteland Warriors is such a fun, action-packed story! Jame Hunter and eden Hudson team up again and the results are phenomenal. On top of the fun story, Travis Baldree brings his vocal talents into the mix. Highly recommend! Can't wait to start the next book!

Way better than expected!

Considering how short this book was, the author did an excellent job of developing both an interesting plot and individual characters! Great read, and absolutely hilarious, loved Joe's character...

solid

I read a lot of RPG lit this was a fun read. just wish it was longer
