À propos de cet audio

The first novel in the Iron Druid Chronicles - introducing a cool, new, funny urban fantasy hero

Atticus O’Sullivan, last of the Druids, lives peacefully in Arizona, running an occult bookshop and shape-shifting in his spare time to hunt with his Irish wolfhound. His neighbors and customers think that this handsome, tattooed Irish dude is about twenty-one years old - when in actuality, he’s twenty-one centuries old. Not to mention: He draws his power from the earth, possesses a sharp wit, and wields an even sharper magical sword known as Fragarach, the Answerer.

Unfortunately, a very angry Celtic god wants that sword, and he’s hounded Atticus for centuries. Now the determined deity has tracked him down, and Atticus will need all his power - plus the help of a seductive goddess of death, his vampire and werewolf team of attorneys, a bartender possessed by a Hindu witch, and some good old-fashioned luck of the Irish - to kick some Celtic arse and deliver himself from evil.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Hearne, a self-professed comic-book nerd, has turned his love of awesome dudes whacking mightily at evil villains into a superb urban fantasy debut.” (Publishers Weekly)

“A page-turning and often laugh-out-loud funny caper through a mix of the modern and the mythic.” (Ari Marmell, author of The Warlord’s Legacy)

“Kevin Hearne breathes new life into old myths, creating a world both eerily familiar and startlingly original.” (Nicole Peeler, author of Tempest Rising)

Les plus pertinents

Luke Daniels does a good job of sounding like a west Coast college drop out, with centuries of wisdom thrown into the mix when voicing Atticus. His impersonation of Oberon is also excellent. The story is a good mix of contemporary and ancient Druid, with enough historical figures and classic literature thrown in to appeal to intellectuals. The major issue I have with this book is that the language is simplistic, as are many of the jokes. A bit much slapstick there, that, were this a TV show, would be accompanied by canned laughter. It detracts from the otherwise interesting concept and approaches high school level, rather than a more sophisticated enjoyable Neil Stevenson or LOTR level.
