About this listen

Enter a world that is the ultimate valentine to those cheap and cheesy sci-fi/fantasy flicks from the 80s - a world with hot chicks, blind cyclopean wizards with bad attitudes, swamp zombies, purple cannibalistic aliens, talking gambling mutants that will cook you breakfast, hover-bikes, a gigantic ghost warrior, a ninja, a recently divorced and suicidal sorcerer, dragons, a cyborg demon and borrowed movie dialogue.

All this you say and no musical number? That's what sequels are for.

I'd listened to this narrator once before, and despite having a limited voice range, I really like him. The story I just didn't understand. Most of the humor revolved around back to back sexual encounters and dick jokes. Don't get me wrong, i'm not above such things, but they just fell flat for me. I still don't know what the overall plot was. Much was lost on me. Although somewhat short, I didn't finish it.

I didn't get it.

This book has swearing in it, and that's great.

From the outset of the book I really enjoyed the narrators voice, it paired really well with the attitude of our hero and really set the mood for the rest of the story that was to come.
Even so, early on I was taken a back by the language used but it turns out I actually really liked it, and it really did add to the character's persona.

It tells the story of a guy who find's out he's now the Deathmaster and everything that comes with it. From the incessant ladies, to the cool little purple dudes, it's a fun ride.
However, the book is all over the place with its story. It feels a little random because of the context at times, but it comes together wonderfully bad in the end. I keep thinking about it and I really want to see this as the start of a movie.

The writer has a great way of expressing what needs to be said (or doesn't at times). The vulgarity and jocularity go together hand in hand in a way that brings a smile to my face. The adventure, the rite of passage, a few twists to the story makes it more than worth-while listen.

If you ever thought Duke Nukem had an attitude, the Deahtmaster would be his grumpy grandfather laying down the smack.
Not one for children.

What a trip. What an attitude. What a lady’s man.

A send up of all 1980s kitsch, in which Jo, hoping to get laid, is instead whisked away by little purple aliens to save them from - whatever. And become Deathmaster like his father before him. He meets numerous weird and, often, disgusting characters including Peter and Maurice, the giant red dragons, singing snails, the zombie ninja, and the cyborg demon, all without wearing a cloak. With many literary and cultural mentions cleverly worked into the text, it was mildly amusing but so overloaded with sexual and body discharge humour, it became too tedious after an hour or so of a three hour plus book.

This was a free, complimentary download from FABC. My thanks for that. But it was not for me, despite the imaginative writing and the superb narration of J.Scott Bennett
