Acerca de esta escucha
From the author of The Iron Druid Chronicles, a thrilling novel that kicks off a fantasy series with an entirely new mythology - complete with shape-shifting bards, fire-wielding giants, and children who can speak to astonishing beasts
Mother and warrior
Tallynd is a soldier who has already survived her toughest battle: losing her husband. But now she finds herself on the front lines of an invasion of giants, intent on wiping out the entire kingdom, including Tallynd’s two sons - all that she has left. The stakes have never been higher. If Tallynd fails, her boys may never become men.
Scholar and spy
Dervan is an historian who longs for a simple, quiet life. But he’s drawn into intrigue when he’s hired to record the tales of a mysterious bard who may be a spy or even an assassin for a rival kingdom. As the bard shares his fantastical stories, Dervan makes a shocking discovery: He may have a connection to the tales, one that will bring his own secrets to light.
Rebel and hero
Abhi’s family have always been hunters, but Abhi wants to choose a different life for himself. Embarking on a journey of self-discovery, Abhi soon learns that his destiny is far greater than he imagined: a powerful new magic thrust upon him may hold the key to defeating the giants once and for all - if it doesn’t destroy him first.
Set in a magical world of terror and wonder, this novel is a deeply felt epic of courage and war, in which the fates of these characters intertwine - and where ordinary people become heroes, and their lives become legend.
Includes a bonus PDF with a map, the Dramatis Personae, and additional resources.
“A spectacular work of epic fantasy...an absolute delight.” (Shelf Awareness)
“If you’re looking for some entertainment before Game of Thrones returns to television, this could be the series you need to read.” (Newsday)

Historia
A plucky farm boy will find more than he's bargained for on his quest to awaken the sleeping princess in her cursed tower. First there's the Dark Lord, who wishes for the boy's untimely death...and also very fine cheese. Then there's a bard without a song in her heart but with a very adorable and fuzzy tail, an assassin who fears not the night but is terrified of chickens, and a mighty fighter more frightened of her sword than of her chain-mail bikini. This journey will lead to sinister umlauts, a trash-talking goat, and the Dread Necromancer Steve....

He’s told that as a physicist, he is to be reserved, along with five other scientists, for a mysterious purpose. But 50,000 other humans on board the interstellar scout ship are scheduled to be butchered and frozen, a food supply for the long journey to the alien homeworld. Clint and the other Reserves can’t stand by and let that happen.

Caught in one feud too many, he's on the verge of becoming a dead barbarian - leaving nothing behind him but bad songs, dead friends, and a lot of happy enemies. Nobleman, dashing officer, and paragon of selfishness, Captain Jezal dan Luthar has nothing more dangerous in mind than fleecing his friends at cards and dreaming of glory in the fencing circle.

It has been 20 years since the end of the war. The dictatorial Augurs, once thought of almost as gods, were overthrown and wiped out during the conflict, their much-feared powers mysteriously failing them. Those who had ruled under them, men and women with a lesser ability known as the Gift, avoided the Augurs' fate only by submitting themselves to the rebellion's Four Tenets.

Reseñas de la Crítica
"You'll laugh and cry and crave mustard as you're immersed in the literal magic of storytelling in Kevin Hearne's vivid new epic fantasy. I have experienced acute withdrawal symptoms since the book ended. I don't want to leave this world." (Beth Cato, author of Breath of Earth and The Clockwork Dagger)
"A Plague of Giants is an absorbing epic fantasy, with clever storytelling that allows its many threads to each feel important, personal, and memorable. I'm very much looking forward to the sequel!" (James Islington, author of The Shadow of What Was Lost)

Gaelan Starfire is a farmer, happy to be a husband and a father; a careful, quiet, simple man. He's also an immortal, peerless in the arts of war. Over the centuries, he's worn many faces to hide his gift, but he is a man ill-fit for obscurity, and all too often he's become a hero, his very names passing into legend.

When a series of devastating terror attacks brought down the United States, Conor and Barb assumed they were safe in their compound. They had everything they needed. They were armed and highly trained. But then, Barb was kidnapped. The kidnappers didn’t know why Conor was known as The Mad Mick. They didn’t know the fear and respect his name invoked in the shadowy underworld of covert operations. They didn’t know that when it came to protecting his family, he was without conscience, without compassion, and without equal. But they would soon find out.

Narration: Not Luke Daniels' best, but I would've preferred all Luke instead of him and Xe Sands. I sampled some of her other work and her normal speaking voice is fine but I didn't get enough samples to say she is as good a voice artist as Luke if she is listenable at all. THIS! MUMBLING! Is NOT her strong point. While not perfect, Kate Reading does something similar I believe in one of Brandon Sanderson's books. I think a character in the Stormlight Archive? Not sure and I may have the narrator and story wrong altogether but whoever it was they pull this particular voice acting trick off way better than Sands. Sands was so inconsistent in pitch it was distracting AND everyone sounded the same with a slight, SLIGHT, difference in male voices. Like one reviewer said, I lost track of the story when Xe Sands read despite Hearne doing a great job with the narrative time hopping mechanic he used. This was because her voice never changed. Except for Kallindra. Might've changed there. Overall, it was doable for me. Not a return situation here, but if you start and hear Ms. Sand's first go at narration in the book and can't stand it then you might want to just get your credit back because while there is more Luke than Xe, It still seems like 60/40 deal. She's there. A lot! To all of our ears detriment. I would not be unhappy if they left her out of the second book.
Story: It really did start out slow for because this is way more poetic than Iron Druid but I love that. This is not Kevin Hearne duplicating a formula here. I'm no writer or reviewer as I stated before but I think that we don't have to argue the point that this is a completely different writing style from Hearne. Very refreshing and if you read his acknowledgements you'll see that one if not the source of his inspiration for the idea was Homer. The concept of the kennings seems so tragic and ironic depending on how one sees a "Blessing". I love the concept of a limited power. Especially in these days where a lot of writers fall back on outrageous skill sets and God-like magic systems with no limits, checks, or balances making it impossible to become invested in a character because you don't worry about them or ever get that suspenseful urgency about the character's life or well being. In this story you want to see the power of the kennings but at the same time you don't because it lessens the amount of time you have with a character. And you might like that character. Like Ahbi's character. I'm growing fond of him but I'm like okay Ahbi let's stop using that kenning now. I want you to stick around and there are a few examples of what happens when it's over used. That's even poetic and sorta gets you into this existential thought process like, hmm what happens afterwards? I'm all over the place I think. Back to the story. The short of it is (lol, this review was not shirt) that Hearne builds another strong world, with strong factions. More politics and underlying schemes like Iron Druid but heavier on a darker tone and lighter on jokes. This is definitely no romp through the nine realms, and there's no Oberon or Atticus, but there are no lack likeable characters. Just don't too attached to some.
Great storytelling concept. Spotty narration.

Luke Daniels--your narration/ acting is amazing--you bring the people alive--EPIC
Xe Sands--you have always been one of my favorite narrators/actors but you have outdone
yourself--EPIC
I don't want to make a synopsis--you need to hear it to believe the detail and emotion put into this tale. The descriptions are so clear you feel them--see them. You are introduced to a new land that is well worth the trip. So walk through that magic portal (Audible) and become part of the Plague of Giants yourself. It will not disappoint. You may not want to leave.
Get busy on Book 2 Kevin. LOL
A true World Building novel. You could compare it to "The Hobbits".
'The Plague of Giant--- is worth a 10/5 if I could

Kevin's world building is great. His characters are multilayered with real problems & challenges. I absolutely loved the multiple perspectives provided by the story telling on the wall....
On another level, Kevin's weaving in of real world issues, such as LGTB acceptance in society is done with such a gentle hand and open acceptance I thought was a great touch. Good on you pal.
The magic - or Kenning- of this world is awesome creating such interesting dilemmas for the (almost) main characters.
Finally the narration. I am a fan of multiple narrators -
Actually this is my first experience with it & it works a treat. Both narrators did an excellent job - the little quirks & sardonic humor inflected by Xe made me chuckle a few times but her real skill is bringing a sense of connectedness to the story. Luke has a great ability to go from a slightly camp chap to a growling giant battle lord all without skipping a beat!
This is one series to definitely follow
This is a winner

I did not enjoy the lady narration. Terrible accent had me rewinding for clarity and garbled sounds I had to interpret. I get the use of dual narration, but not happy with this one that's why it gets a 3.on performance and a 3 overall.
Luke Daniels needs no help narrating a book
