Publisher's Summary

Contains Books 1 and 2 of the Unconventional Heroes series.

Two Necromancers, a Bureaucrat, and an Elf, book 1:

Two necromancers, a bureaucrat, and an elf - it sounds like the start of a bad joke, only the joke is on Timmy.

Timothy Walter Bolton - better known as Timmy - has spent most of his life as a necromancer. When he isn't terrorising his enemies, he's plotting inside his castle, which is built on top of lightless chasms filled with nameless horrors and beings of a generally malevolent and megalomaniacal nature. But after one of his latest creations, a zombie hydra-dragon-bear, tries to eat him, he decides that maybe it's time to find a new, less dangerous, career.

But that's easier said than done. He's a wanted criminal with no shortage of powerful (and crazy) enemies, and he has a bone or two to pick with the Everton Council of Mages.

It's a good thing that he's got some help: an obnoxious 10-year-old apprentice who thinks that pink glasses are appropriate for a budding necromancer and a bumbling bureaucrat who may or may not make it through their first real fight without puking his guts up. Wonderful.

Two Necromancers, an Army of Golems, and a Demon Lord, book 2:

Two necromancers, an army of golems, and a demon lord - it sounds like a recipe for trouble, and for Timmy, it definitely is.

To earn his pardon and avoid horrible torture and/or gruesome execution, Timmy has to complete every mission the Council throws his way, most of which seem to involve extremely scary things trying to kill him. At least he’s got help - sort of. His help consists of an apprentice with designs on his castle (and her plans may or may not involve overthrowing him), a bureaucrat whose two greatest skills are fainting in the face of trouble and using people (usually Timmy) as human shields, and an elf with the world's worst case of pyromania and enough magic to level a mountain.

Somehow, Timmy's got to get this bunch of unconventional heroes to work together. Trouble is coming, and it's trouble of the kind that only a necromancer like Timmy could possibly find himself in the middle of.

Surprisingly action pack

I was expecting the classical plot of a group of bad individuals struggling to go straight but I never read such a well rounded characters that dealt with the outcult with both seriousness and impractical efficiency, such as the use of magic shovels, a 10 year old girl that rules the shadows or an entire ninja clan of rats 🐀. In short, loved it.

unexpected delight

did not know what to expect but am honestly blown away by this great little story available for free.
I'll be checking out more of the series.
did take a moment to get used to the inner thoughts of other characters being spoken in the same voices the main character and narrator. but such a small thing I stopped noticing a few chapters in.

Unexpededly fun

Another book I listened to because it was "included." I was not disappointed. The stories were a 3.5 out of 5 for the most part but the voice performance was great so I bumped it up to a 4 overall. Fred Berman was so consistent with his character voices that even if I got distracted I recognised which character he was being when my attention returned. The stories are quirky and fun but the wit often falls flat. I liked it enough overall though to be willing to try more books from this author. I'll also definitely keep an eye out for this narrator.

Absolutely Hilarious.

The main character is an eccentric grand necromancer who likes hitting opponents with a shovel, has a bone dry sense of humour, makes his 10 year old apprentice do his paperwork and file his tax returns and is friends with a protoplasmic eldritch horror who loves cake.

Need I say more.
