Assassins' Academy

The Book of Bawb 1

By: Scott Baron

Narrated by: Eric Bryan Moore

Even the deadliest assassin in the galaxy had to start somewhere.

Yanked from a quiet life and thrust into a harsh existence of brutal training of both mind and body, subjected to a harsh regimen that could cause not only injury, but even death. That was young Bawb’s shocking new reality, and it was only the beginning.

Trials of sword and blade. Magical combat. Crafting and subterfuge. Just a few of the myriad skills the aspirant would have to master if he hoped to excel. To survive. For he possessed a rare talent that could one day see him join the elite ranks of the galaxy’s greatest assassins if he could somehow unlock this seemingly impossible power within. An ability that meant he was destined for one of just two possible outcomes. Greatness, or death. Which one of them he achieved would be up to him.

A progression fantasy adventure

WOW!!! Scott’s Best Yet!

I have listened to Daisy, Charlie’s, and Hozark’s books but the Bawb series (Assassin Series) is the best of all. Scott Baron has wrote a masterful description of Bawb’s early life in training and I cannot wait for more!!

Got to love Bawb

Having first meet Bawb in the Dragon Mage Series I couldn't wait to see the early life of my favorite character. This story did not disappoint. It is written so you don't need to know anything about previous books that take place in the universe. I can't wait for the next book.

Best backstory I've listened to in a long time!

This is another great addition to the universe that brought us The Dragon Mage and the Clockwork Chimera series. Scott Baron brings us the story of how Bawb became the Gheist, and such a story! Mr. Baron brings his clever wit to this new story - I was laughing when Bawb was unable to!

The narrator does a superb job with the myriad of voices needed for this story. His timing is flawless! I am looking forward to hearing from him again.

Read/listen to this book! I could not put it down!

Surprising Gem

This was just an entertaining story that had great world building without feeling like I was lost in details.

Hidden Gem!

An excellent entry point to Scott's "Dragon Mage" Universe. His writing has greatly over the course of over 20 books and it can clearly be seen here. I highly recommend giving it a listen, The book uses an incredible narrator to tell the story.
