About this listen
To become a Dark Lord is no easy thing. The simple ambition to hold dominion over the world and bend all to your will sounds straightforward, but it's not. There are armies to raise, fortresses to build, heroes to defeat, and battles to be fought. After many spectacular failures, Evil decided to lend more than inspiration to these would-be tyrants. He wrote an easy-to-follow Dark Lord's Handbook. And yet the next Dark Lord that came along screwed up like all the others. It had been hundreds of years, and the Handbook was lost in the annals of time, along with all that was mythic and exciting in the world. Then one day, a randy dragon had a chance encounter. Nine months later a Dark Lord was born. In time, the Handbook found its way to this new contender: Morden.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
The book grows from the same ground as Terry Pratchett, Tom Holt and Robert Asprin and balances dry humour with a solid story.What does Gildart Jackson bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
The reading is superlative and complements the text well.An unexpectedly good read

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I thought this would be a predictable rip off of similar amusing fantasy novels. But it wasn't at all. A delightfully amusing diversion. The story of Morden, who's career choice is being a dark lord. Made me laugh and kept me thoroughly entertained.What other book might you compare The Dark Lord's Handbook to, and why?
Terry Pratchet....Have you listened to any of Gildart Jackson’s other performances? How does this one compare?
Yes I have...he does comedic narration very well. Good array of charachtersWas there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Cant say that with out giving the story awayAny additional comments?
Well worth a credit. Good story and good narration and great entertainment value. There is a second book which I hope audible brings out.Great fun

There are a few Terry Pratchet references that are fun to look out for.
It is far better than the formulaic books that are so common
A worthy book

It's a fantasy book from the dark lords point of view , those difficult teenage years, trying to fit in, early success and bending the rest of the school to your will!
Its about being good at being bad, and being bad at being good.
I enjoyed the foul mouthed love interested, the Machiavellian chancellor and the truly thick hero.
For the fist time you will be cheering for the dark side.
Id like to see what comes next for Morden
A Dark Lord Rises!.....cocks it up and tries again
