The War God's Own

War God, Book 2

By: David Weber

Narrated by: Nick Sullivan

Bahzell Bahnakson of the Horse Stealer hradani had never wanted to be the champion of the War God. Unfortunately, the War God had insisted. Which was how he had found himself among hostile strangers in the Empire of the Axe - except that that was only the least of his problems.

For a start, there was the Order of Tomanak, who were horrified that their deity had chosen a hradani as champion, and were resolved to rectify the matter in a most unpleasant fashion. And if he survived that, he had to get home somehow, in spite of the enemies determined to stop him, to face the Dark God who had sworn to destroy all hradani. But one thing Bahzell had learned: a champion of the War God Tomanak does what needs to be done. And those who got in his way had better watch out.

One of the best sword and sorcery tales around.

David Weber is one of my absolute favorite authors and this series is an example why.

This is a great story made truly outstanding by the fantastic narration by Nick Sullivan. Mr. Sullivan goes beyond mere narration into voice acting, going so far as to use different geographical accents for characters from different parts of the story's world. This extra touch makes the story come to life for me.

Fun story

Not too complicated, characters well-developed, action, some adventure, underlying theme not over stated. I am enjoying the series.

This is a strong continuation of the series. I find Nick Sullivan's reading of these books to be superb, really increasing my enjoyment of the scenes. This series is one of the most enjoyable series I have listened to, and I would strongly recommend it for anyone who just wants to listen to entertaining fluff.
