About this listen

A retired group of legendary mercenaries get the band back together for one last impossible mission in this award-winning debut epic fantasy.

Clay Cooper and his band were once the best of the best, the most feared and renowned crew of mercenaries this side of the Heartwyld.

Their glory days long past, the mercs have grown apart and grown old, fat, drunk, or a combination of the three. Then an ex-bandmate turns up at Clay's door with a plea for help - the kind of mission that only the very brave or the very stupid would sign up for. It's time to get the band back together.

What the critics say

"Brilliant debut novel.... Eames has cranked the thrills of epic fantasy up to 11.... Moreover, the plot is emotionally rewarding, original, and hilarious. Eames clearly set out to write something fun to read, and he has succeeded spectacularly." ( Publishers Weekly)
"An outstanding debut which will make you laugh and cry and hold your breath. This is a book that has it all." (K. J. Parker)

A must listen, the story is a beautiful twist on the typical adventure and is read and voiced perfectly.

Fantastic

The story is like an incredible combination of the movie RED (Retired, Extremely Dangerous) and a crazy college Dungeons and Dragons session. The tone, a hillarious combination of the writing style of Joe Abercrombie and Monty Python.

The book inspires scenes of incredible awe and gut busting comedy, sometimes dancing on the line of going over the top, yet miraculously maintains a strong heart and manages to be surprisingly moving.

If you are a fan of the fantasy genre, I cannot recommend this book strongly enough.

A must-read for any Fantasy lover

Such a fun book and a great narration. The voices gave it a real Lynrd Skynyrd vibe. I enjoyed it the whole way through.

Fantastic

I gave it a chance and now I think he was the perfect choice to do the voices and now I am a fan. Storywise,super fun and engaging. Will be continuing with the next audiobook in the series. Highly recommend this ☺️

Didn’t like the reader…at first

It's like you're sitting at a table with an old man while he tells you a story. There's goblins and centaurs, kobolds and ettin, oh and a dragon. Kings of the Wyld is a great fantasy adventure read, following a bunch of old men reliving the "old days." The narrator is fantastic as well, would recommend.

Awesome

It reminded me of the good old pen and paper D&D and that's not a bad thing at all.

The narrator was spot on as was the humour. I highly recommend this book for anyone who's looking for a fun adventure filled with thrills and chills.

I couldn't stop smiling and I found myself laughing out loud as I burned though the audio in a week.

What are you waiting for? The band is back together.! 😀

An absolute blast form start to finish.

this book reminds me of how my dad used to read to me as a kid. laughs at times, sorrows at others, one of my favorites

just like dad used to read to me

Its a good story which stays consistent and has a satisfying ending. Its a fairly mature story that doesn't stray away from swearing (mostly unique to the world) and talking about more mature things but it never gets to explicit with gore or sexual topics. overall a good story with interesting characters but I still found it a bit hard to get through and just took my time to finish it.

A pretty good story

I enjoyed the story I thought clay was very interesting character. I didn't like the bad language used throughout. the humour was spot on.
