Space Assassins 1 & 2: A Space Assassin Bundle

Product Information

This book starts out at a fast pace as Hozark, a Wampeh Ghalian assassin has started out on another contract but he is an observer for this one. As a Master Ghalian, he is one of the top five Ghalian assassins that assess the students they feel might be ready to take on contracts on their own. This is after they have had years of hardship and hard work to see if they have what it takes to be a Ghalian assassin. I was given a free copy of The Interstellar Slayer: Space Assassins 1 by Scott Baron and Book Sirens in exchange for an honest review. Imagine if you will, tuning into a science fiction series halfway through episode 4 in season 2, where season 1 is when all of the relationships have been developed, high jinks have been had, histories are given, galaxy described etc etc, and you are trying to work out who, what, where, and why.

Bursting through a bulkhead door with unleashed fury, the Culexus Assassin slaughtered their way through Aun’Va’s guards and, after a brief chase through the streets outside, cut down the Ethereal Supreme. I didn't know what to expect from this book. The image on the front made me think of the dark elves from R.A. Salvatore's books, while the setting is in space. In short, I went in without preconceptions and enjoyed the book thoroughly.The narrator was pretty good overall, with the exception of two major annoyances. Firstly, he pronounced "didn't" as "dinnint." I found it incredibly unprofessional. If it had been done in character, I wouldn't have minded, but he said it every time, as the narrator. Not cool. The other strange quirk he exhibited was a weird lengthening of sibilants. For instance, the word "strode" (which came up a lot - characters strode or were striding everywhere) sounded like "schtrode." It was very distracting. Otherwise he had a pleasant voice that was well-modulated, capable of a wide range for different voices (though I did feel some interpretations should have been reconsidered). I would have preferred if I were able to see more of the world building. Mr. Baron describes several planets and their life forms and plant life, but I could not get a sense or picture of any of these planets, life forms, or plant life. The main character travels in a spaceship from planet to planet, but I was not clear on how the spaceship operated or what it looked like. As a representative of AudioBookReviewer.com here is my review on Space Assassins 1 and 2 written by Scott Baron and narrated by Eric Bryan Moore. In the first edition of Sorcery! 3 ( The Seven Serpents), the book was not listed as a forthcoming release, although two books that were never published were ( Dragon Master and The Lord of Shadow Keep). It seems likely that after The Lord of Shadow Keep was published by a different publisher, Space Assassin took its place.

As I said previously, the world building is just incredibly in-depth, but rather than being overwhelming, or losing you (as it can do in some books where there is just too much information), in this case, you find you get totally absorbed in it, and just want more. It is utterly fascinating, this world of assassins, and with each new revelation, several more doors open into this wonderous world.

Publication Order of The Dragon Mage Books

I don’t want to go into huge detail and give away too many spoilers, but let’s just say it makes them even more lethal. By making use of their pariah gene, a rare mutation that eliminates a person’s signature in the warp (effectively rendering them soulless), and the ancient technology of their animus speculum, the Assassin shrouded themselves from notice until they were deep within the enemy’s sanctum. The magic in this world was very fascinating. It made me curious to know more and more about it, but at the same time it seemed to be more than what the story required at this point which made it a little bit confusing. The author has fleshed out the plotline quite well while still keeping enough secrets that you can't actually figure out where it is going. Just the fact that it is going, at a good pace, and well written at that, keeps the reader engaged. There are also excellent descriptions along with the author's good imagination of many different planets and the life forms that exist on them. The audiobook’s narration is expertly performed by Eric Bryan Moore; I have reviewed a few of his other narrated audiobooks. I enjoy listening to his voice and he easily becomes the main character’s voice. He does an exceptional job voicing the many different characters and creatures we find in the book as well. The volume is consistent, there were no audio artifacts that I recall, and no mistakes in swapping character voices which has been a common issue with some narrators. I look forward to hearing the other audiobook in the series and am happy to see Mr. Moore a part of it.

The books work as a stand alone title if you’ve not read the books featuring Charlie and Bawb - everything you need to know about the magic galaxy is explained. But if you have enjoyed those books then they add an extra depth to the space assassin books. A player's weapons are determined by a 1d6 roll with the amount rolled able to be "spent" on a choice of weapons: Electric lash, Assault blaster, Grenade, Gravity bomb, Armour . The player must buy an electric lash or an assault blaster before anything else.The assassins found a twisted abomination corrupted by Fabius Bile – the Clonefather had formed an alliance with the remaining Brazen Drakes in what came to be known as the War of the Spider . In their combined assault upon the former Chapter Master, two of the Execution Force were killed, with the Eversor Assassin’s self-destructive bio-meltdown finally putting an end to Argento Corian. 3. The Assassination of Urgak ‘the Unstoppable’ The mythology and world building that has gone into this series is just incredible, there is so much intricate detail weaved throughout the story that just adds a whole extra dimension. The first book in the new series, and the one we will be reviewing here, is “The Interstellar Slayer” which is more of a novelette introducing the series along with all new characters. This audiobook is about three and a half hours long, but it is a good primer to the new series. The first book in the series is designed to whet your appetite for what is to come in future audiobooks. I would highly recommend you listen to the “Dragon Mage” series prior to this one. Yet, it is good to know that this is a standalone series and because of this, it is not a requirement to know any of the previous series. I do like that having the extra knowledge from the other series helped me to jump right in and feel comfortable with the story. I do not recall the length of time between this series and “The Dragon Mage” series but I think of it as a prequel similar to the Star Wars series. The focus of this series is on the well respected and rightfully feared space assassins group called the Wampa Ghalian. These assassins are the best of the best, but powerful magic and hidden agendas will impact this mysterious assassin group and potentially change the future of these highly trained killers. I found it interesting to know this group is monetary focused, but they also have a moral code that supersedes any amount of financial offering.
