About this listen

Even the deadliest assassin in the galaxy had to start somewhere.

Yanked from a quiet life and thrust into a harsh existence of brutal training of both mind and body, subjected to a harsh regimen that could cause not only injury, but even death. That was young Bawb’s shocking new reality, and it was only the beginning.

Trials of sword and blade. Magical combat. Crafting and subterfuge. Just a few of the myriad skills the aspirant would have to master if he hoped to excel. To survive. For he possessed a rare talent that could one day see him join the elite ranks of the galaxy’s greatest assassins if he could somehow unlock this seemingly impossible power within. An ability that meant he was destined for one of just two possible outcomes. Greatness, or death. Which one of them he achieved would be up to him.

A progression fantasy adventure

Author's Note: This series follows the origins and adventures of Bawb, a fan favorite character from the Bad Luck Charlie books (the Dragon Mage series). This series contains no spoilers for the Charlie series. You do not need to have listened to the Charlie books first. Also related to this series is the Space Assassins series. Some characters from that series also appear in these books but with only a few spoilers. Happy listening!

I've always liked Bawb as a character from the other stories involving Charlie and co. Despite his reputation as an elite assassin, he has heart and integrity and a warmth about him.
This is his tale, and it shows that he has always been an interesting character to read about.
As I have come to expect from Scott Baron, this is well written, well structured and throughly entertaining, and as I write this, the second book has downloaded so I'm off to continue with the adventures.

If you loved Charlie and Daisy's adventures, this just adds to the fun.

I found myself taking the long way home so I could listen more.

If you’re new to Scott Baron’s work, this will be a real treat for you, and welcome

If you’re an old hat, this feels like coming home from a grinding day at work to find that old friends are waiting on your doorstep with a couple of cold beers!

Another great listen, I’m ready for more

Another tangent in an awesome series of stories, brilliantly written and sometimes predictable but always leaving a smile on the face or a tug on the emotions, probably my favourite narrator of the Scott Barron books

Great story Continued

Having only discovered the author’s work recently through a Reddit post of all places, I’ve devoured all available content eagerly. Finding that we were getting the Geist’s backstory was great news, and the first instalment doesn’t disappoint. Well written, well paced and well read - this is some great sci fi fantasy. Familiar characters make appearances, and lots of new faces. The author manages to write a great prequel with lots of hints and nods to future events, without feeling like you know how it’s going to end. Excellent stuff! Can’t wait for the rest!

Great prequel!

I really enjoyed this book. It's like the love child of Harry Potter and John Wick in space. My only issue is how many times I am reminded of certain things.

Enjoyed.

I love of all the trials and tasks that accompany this coming of age story with LitRPG elements. Bob is a competent and enjoyable POV character who progresses steadily.

Fun and cohesive coming of age at an assassin academy
