Lots of action and without the usual recognizable cuss words. Being written in serial format makes it more affordable and easier for reading in travel or waiting areas. A good read! The Wizard Killer, Season 1 A Post-Apocalyptic Fantasy Serial By: Adam Dreece Narrated by: Justin James This is an audible book I requested and the review is voluntary. I have been wanting to start this series for a long time and when I saw this opportunity, I jumped for it. It didn't disappoint. It is a short book but it packed a punch. It outlined characters, world building, and more as it dove into the story. The main character wakes up from the dead, that's right..for the third time too...and we as readers get to experience how and what he remembers. We learn as he learns. We know he has magic, he is a wizard killer, and boy is he durable! He gets hurt a lot! LOL. It is a great fantasy read to introduce us to the series and I am glad I got started. The narrator could not have been better. Perfect voice and performance for the many characters that the wizard came in contact with (and the strange languages). no reviews | add a review

"Harry Potter meets Die Hard" - M. Bybee, WereBook.org "Madmax meets Lord of the Rings" - Goodreads.com A world once at the height of magical technology and social order has collapsed. How and why are the least of the wizard killer's worries. Leaning my bloody head against the back of the crashed levitating carriage, I flex my cramped fingers. With a renewed grip on the mana-pistol, I steal a quick breath. The others better wake up fast, otherwise we're all going to burn. Enjoy all 20 pulse-pounding episodes, and an all new side to best-selling YA author, Adam Dreece. ..".an intense action movie-style romp through a wonderfully detailed fantasy world. I freaking LOVED this story I loved the cinematic feel, I loved the action scenes, I loved the characters. It is like Harry Potter meets Die Hard" -- M Bybee, WereBooks.org, 5 Stars ..".an imaginative and compelling series that is quite difficult to stop reading. Dreece knows exactly how to build and then neatly tie up each episode, while leaving the reader wanting more.... highly recommended." --Reviewed by Jack Magnus for Readers' Favorite, 5 Stars Recommended for adults, appropriate for most 12] .

It's obvious that he had a lot of fun, too, because each tiny chapter propels all the action forward in what might look like one long book of nothing but action with tiny sequences of dialogue that was just another pretext for more action.
And far from complaining, this was a light action read with magic that keeps flipping itself on and off in really cool ways that make the battles fun and dangerous and chaotic. Post-apocalyptic in nature and setting, with western-type elements of the Hero's Journey, our MC is without memory or home, in mortal danger.
This is a real crowd-pleaser, a popcorn adventure, and a fast-paced romp through death and discovery with only gentle inclusions of world-building.
The point is to have fun, and this is accomplished in spades. :)
