Publisher's summary

Burdened with legend. Hardened by battle scars. Hellbent on bloody revenge.

Shields in Shadow, book one:

As the son of a famous general, Aravon is proud to captain his own company against his people's enemy. But the experienced veteran’s march toward glory dissolves into pain as ruthless barbarians massacre every last one of his soldiers. Burning for vengeance, he leaps at the chance to spearhead a specially trained company and pay back his tragic defeat with blood.

Desperate to not repeat his tragic past, Aravon trains his new warriors relentlessly. But the captain fears that all the tactical drills in the world may not matter when they’re forced to defend a helpless village against overwhelming odds. As his quick raids sow chaos amongst the enemy, the bloodthirsty savages threaten to make Aravon's nightmarish history repeat itself...

Can the captain take command of his fighting spirit before the kingdom falls to barbarous invaders?

Battle for Peace, book two:

Captain Aravon fights to honor and avenge those who died under his command. Groomed for battle by his famous father, he’s proud to stand alongside his six special-ops officers against impossible odds. But as enemy forces surround his starving countrymen, a spy within his own ranks could turn Aravon’s mission into his final downfall.

Still scrambling to root out the traitor, he must recruit a rival warrior clan to join forces against the barbarian invaders. But when the infiltrator sabotages his plan of attack, the beleaguered captain fears his war-weary legionnaires will fall in another bloody massacre.

Outnumbered and under full assault, will Aravon taste vengeance or suffer crushing defeat?

The Silent Champions: Publisher's Pack contains the first two books in the action-packed Silent Champions military fantasy series. If you like square-jawed heroes, well-oiled military action, and epic world-building, then you’ll love Andy Peloquin’s gripping series.

Would Highly recommend

A very entertaining and gripping story, can not wait for the next in the series

Pauses

The beginning the narrator pauses a lot but it gets better. Really good books though, excited for book three

Great book.

Great story line. Many life lessons can be taken from this book series. I enjoyed this book read.

Amazing Series

I came back to this first pack to leave this review. There are no spoilers.

This is one of the best series I’ve listened to and Ralph Lister does an amazing job bringing the characters and scenes to life.

One of the best things about this series is that each book takes place almost immediately after the previous book. There’s no ‘Four years later’ or anything like that. I’m currently in book 4 and the entire series thus far has spanned a story timeline of 3 months.

Must get

I don’t normally write reviews but do read what others write. It’s sad there aren’t more for this series. Book starts really fast. I had to restart twice because I was paying enough attention to get a grasp of the story line, I’m glad I did. Well worth the credit

great

Edge of your seat suspense. Great battle scenes, you feel like part of the story in no time.

Story is good

The story was good, but the guy narrating spoke much to flow and I had to speed up the playback just so it sounded correct

Very Entertaining!

The story is non stop and full of excellent hack and slash action. The tale makes for a great escape from the reality of today’s upside down world.

Amazing performance, and a stereotypical plot.

I love this book, mostly because of the amazing performance. I also truly enjoy strategy, and this book captures battle strategy and warrants perfectly, in an entertaining way. At time the book can seem a bit contrived, or as though everything always swings in the good guys favor in the end, but it is still an immensely enjoyable experience.

Books to Work By Review

Long stretches where there is character-building, plot-building, and not much happens.

It eventually satisfies my need for battle. There were many times where I really was emotionally engaged in the unfolding story, just not enough. So, good pulp and not a lot of complexity to the story.

I love all the classic cliches, but I suppose you actually can overuse them.

I did stick with this long book thus was having some fun, but I don't think I will return for the next book.

liked the voice talent.
