Getting even with the beasts that overpowered us
What did you love best about Dragon Eaters?
These tales are about getting even with the beasts that have been overpowering us for so long. Prepare yourself to run wild: enjoy adventure, risk, and the fetid smell of dragons in the heat of battle. Meet Zombie dragons, vampire dwarves, elves, and animated skeletons. Awaken to the ways in which fear triggers bravery.
I read quite a number of books by Janet Morris and Chris Morris, loved the exquisite writing style, and appreciated the detailed expertise in weaponry and horse riding skills that enrich their work (garnered over a lifelong experience.) They are truly inventive in creating carefully defined rules of a universe shared between a team of authors. Here, they define the thrust of this anthology using a long stretch of time: Now heroes throughout history stalk their legendary foe.
Have you listened to any of Rob Golls other performances before? How does this one compare?
The voice artist, Rob Goll, a UK trained classical actor, has a warm Baritone voice. He embodies the characters in these stories with great conviction, giving each one of them a compelling sense of truth as they travel through a fanciful universe. The rich literary language of this anthology may be a challenge for many voice artists, but this is where he excels. His storytelling is both precise and engaging, as he seems drawn to the dark side, carrying us there with him through drama and adventure.
Looking at his YouTube channel I noticed that Dracula was an experiment for him to see whether he fancied being an audiobook narrator. Many of his other audiobooks are in a similar vein: Dragon Dreams: The Chronicles of Shadow and Light by Dusty Lynn Holloway, and Tales of Erana: The Warrior's Curse by Alexandra Butcher.
Any additional comments?
HEROIKA I allows me to learn about the team of authors and their varied storytelling skills. Each one of them has a biography rich with contradictions, across which imagination may be sparked:
S. E. Lindberg, Two decades of practicing chemistry, combined with a passion for the Sword and Sorcery genre. Jack William Finley has been a cook, an actor, a stunt man, a photographer, built computer hard drives, assembled ball bearings, delivered pizza, stocked shelves, wrapped wire and been a Soldier for the United States Army in Germany. Travis Ludvigson, a Warrior Poet who spent his life reading the histories of both real and imagined worlds, the ideas of ancient philosophers and the sagas of the Norse warriors.
