About this listen

"I didn't come here to sell my soul. I came here to buy it back."

Once dubbed "The Deadliest Man Alive", Jarrod Torrealday is a former Olympic saber hopeful and medieval-weapons expert banned from competition for killing another fencer in a duel. Despondent, volatile, alcoholic, yet still one of the greatest swordsmen alive, he now works for third-rate fantasy films as a technical consultant and stuntman.

When Jarrod accepts the gig of a lifetime from a sorcerer looking for a hero, he finds himself facing an invading army in a world inhabited by creatures from Earth's mythical past. He soon learns that the enemy mastermind is also from Earth and has laid the foundations for a new kind of war.

Contains mature themes.

This was an Audible Australia Editor's Extra for free and so I wasn't sure what I was getting.
Get through the prologue focusing on titles rather than names and after that it is all action.
There is quite a bit of detail around amour and hand weapons, but there was enough story to keep it interesting.
One of the best things is that, although it is the first of a series, there was no cliffhanger.
It is probably 4.5 stars, but not many books make it to 5. I 've rounded it down, but I will revisit this if I am still thinking about it in a month or two.

A great mixture of contemporary and old
