The King's Prisoner

The Henchmen Chronicles, Book 3

By: Craig Halloran

Narrated by: Alexander Cendese

A new arena awaits, only this time the crowd doesn't crave home runs. They want blood.

With the last deadly quest behind him, Abraham Jenkins finally has time to focus on his own mission to uncover a portal home to 2018. He's closer than ever. He can smell the freshly mowed grass of the baseball diamond, and taste the ballpark hotdogs. But when mysterious new enemies emerge to attack the kingdom, Abraham must put his own agenda on hold to protect the King and his henchmen, lest he join them in a noose.

The mission is simple. He and the Henchman must sail head-on toward creatures determined to annihilate him and his team, and vanquish them. But nothing in the past is ever as easy as it seems.

Abraham discovers the King's daughter is kidnapped, and only he can save her. He must enter a Tournament of Swords and face an arena that reminds him of home more than anything before. Only, facing pitchers and pop flies is a far cry from axe-wielding barbarians and a bloodthirsty crowd.

Can Abraham fight for his life and find his way back to Titanuus before his past destroys his future?

Action keeps going

A bit slow in the middle, but sooooooooo much action! Loved the story and the twits the author introduces kept me wanting more.

I really want to give this an overall of 4.3

Thought I’d leave my review on book 3 instead of one on each book. I wasn’t super sure what I would be getting from this series. I was a little nervous in book one as there were some glaring editorial issues. As I find with most series the first books can be the weakest until an author hits their stride. No doubt that happened here, by the end of book one the world is being fleshed out rather nicely. There is a real feel of comradeship between the characters. This reads as almost an homage to old style adventure style pulp stories, similar to a Burroughs book. Where each chapter you learn something new about the environment or characters. I really, really enjoyed all three books and will definitely be getting number 4 when it releases next week.

Hurry, Hurry!

Alot of questions answered and several to be. Is Ruger and Abraham one or two minds and body? Are their prisoners on both worlds that need to go home? Who is pulling the strings? So hurry book 4 and release so I can find out.

great

very enjoyable I was enthralled by the story and look forward to the next one

3 books and still going!

It always happens to every author. They stop being/seeing through the MC's eyes and get all psycology and action until they ruin the story (and themselves usually). Every good reader knows when this happens, We all delight as some artist twists itself into authorhood at the sacrifice of himself. Well, RPG Lit lets the MC look right back at the author so artist does not have to twist. (That means the book becomes real to the artist!) {So crazy kat! How many books went real and did an override? Do the overrides take? How would we ever tell?}

Alexander has not twisted yet! You can still see this world and it is as real as you are!

the kings prisoner

excellent narration of the various characters in the series. quick paced and moving. on to the next book.

First heard the voice wanted to stop…

So when I was looking for a free book to listen to I can across this series… the first 5 minutes the voice and cadence turned me off but I said I have another 25 days until my next book I want to hear let’s ride these three books out (there are several more). Anyway long story short it got really good and am glad I listened. The main character reminds me of Jack from Big trouble in little China… and then the King and Prince remind me of the father son police officers from smoky and the bandit… seeing those three characters in my head while listening to these stories… 5 stars are not enough… I love it.

Heck of book

The story of this book is truly engaging. It’s action pack. It has plot twist. It’s got betrayal. It’s got romance. It’s got grit. I love it. It’s a great book. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

Adventure with a side of Fun

Halloran and Cendese again share their gifts to entertain. This story is really addictive and Alexander Cendese is having way too much fun. Great stuff, enjoy.

Sticks

The premise is a basic time travel storyline. Still a very fun read. Aside from the voices for the female characters. The first time I heard Sticks talk I almost had to quit listening.
