À propos de cet audio

Burdened with legend. Hardened by battle scars. Hellbent on bloody revenge.

Shields in Shadow, book one:

As the son of a famous general, Aravon is proud to captain his own company against his people's enemy. But the experienced veteran’s march toward glory dissolves into pain as ruthless barbarians massacre every last one of his soldiers. Burning for vengeance, he leaps at the chance to spearhead a specially trained company and pay back his tragic defeat with blood.

Desperate to not repeat his tragic past, Aravon trains his new warriors relentlessly. But the captain fears that all the tactical drills in the world may not matter when they’re forced to defend a helpless village against overwhelming odds. As his quick raids sow chaos amongst the enemy, the bloodthirsty savages threaten to make Aravon's nightmarish history repeat itself...

Can the captain take command of his fighting spirit before the kingdom falls to barbarous invaders?

Battle for Peace, book two:

Captain Aravon fights to honor and avenge those who died under his command. Groomed for battle by his famous father, he’s proud to stand alongside his six special-ops officers against impossible odds. But as enemy forces surround his starving countrymen, a spy within his own ranks could turn Aravon’s mission into his final downfall.

Still scrambling to root out the traitor, he must recruit a rival warrior clan to join forces against the barbarian invaders. But when the infiltrator sabotages his plan of attack, the beleaguered captain fears his war-weary legionnaires will fall in another bloody massacre.

Outnumbered and under full assault, will Aravon taste vengeance or suffer crushing defeat?

The Silent Champions: Publisher's Pack contains the first two books in the action-packed Silent Champions military fantasy series. If you like square-jawed heroes, well-oiled military action, and epic world-building, then you’ll love Andy Peloquin’s gripping series.

These Andy Peloquin novels reminded me of Bernard Cromwell or Ben Kane - putting supportable warrior characters in familiar battle (against Medieval-level-of-development 7-foot-tall Berserker/"Barbarians" in this case). Despite some scattered once-thought-mythical creatures, Peloquin's feudal fiefdoms reality would be recognizable to any earth-bound military historian (excepting the fictional Dukes & Lords and made-up kingdoms).
The author's plotting is capable and his combat choreography is outstanding.. but I was left with the impression that without the limits imposed by verisillimitude, Peloquin could have been more imaginative (maybe including some magic beyond potion-brewing alchemists or a cool species or two beyond a cutesy flying "Furby" pet/mascot?)

• In 'Shields In Shadow' (Book One) we meet Captain Aravon - a soldier enlisted to form an elite high-skilled Special-Ops squad (within a standing army consisting of standard footmen, cavalry, and archers). He recruits & trains a Hollywood cast of soldiers (e.g. the obligatory beautiful bad-ass female; the muscle-bound hand-to-hand combat specialist; etc.) and overcomes conflicting internal personalities to form a cohesive team. The squad then engages in effective guerrilla action against the genocidal barbarians while Aravon defaults to professional general - directing impressive but conventional set-piece warfare
• Book Two ('Battle For Peace') has more of a plot - including fragile alliances, a detestable villain ('The Blood Queen'), and treachery among Aravon's ranks. Peloquin still focuses on battle/combat.. but provides a bit more interesting character development than his Hollywood-standard camaraderie/sexual innuendo/comic-relief storytelling matrix

As to presentation: Ralph Lister displays impeccable diction, timbre, and cadence (although you can almost hear the saliva collecting in the corners of his mouth if you're using earbuds). Furthermore, his tonality is near-psychic in its accuracy to the author's intentions.
I suppose my only significant complaint is that Lister's voice-acting repertoire is limited - with many individuals sounding the same [often only miniscule differences in voice fry distinguishing characters]. Still, this is a solidly "above-average" recording.

Altogether, I give 'The Silent Champions: Publisher's Pack' 8 stars out of 10. The installments were a little bit formulaic, but I feel fortunate to have found this duo of military fantasy tales before it left the 'Plus' menu.. because the 40 hours of entertainment would merit a Credit.

Historical Fiction Without The History

This story is not nearly as compelling as the Black Talon series that Peloquin did with Castle. The deepness & richness of the tapestry was missing. Unlike that series, this one didn't drive me keep listening. I felt the narration really left something to be desired. I kept thinking this is going to be 35+ hours of my life I can not get back.

So-so at best
