About this listen

Swords of Haven brings together the first three novels in New York Times bestselling author Simon R. Green's beloved Hawk & Fisher series:

Hawk & Fisher

A high-level city official is murdered during a dinner party and Hawk and Fisher have only a few hours to find the killer among the guests, including powerful spell-casters, cunning politicians, Haven royalty, and the victim's own wife.

Winner Takes All

Hawk & Fisher grapple with dark magics, devious politicians, and deadly assassins when they're assigned to protect James Adamant, a fiery young politician whose plan to root out Haven's corruption makes him very popular . . . as a target.

The God Killer

No one is safe in Haven, not even the Gods! When divine residents of the Street of Gods fall prey to a murderer, Hawk & Fisher must team up with an exclusive tactical unit to catch the killer before all hell breaks loose in Haven.

An enjoyable over the top romp

Just what I was in the mood for - a mix of humour, the dirtiest of politics and violence. Doesn’t take itself seriously at all, and moves along at a cracking pace.

I also thought the narrator was a good choice.

Even better, it was included in my audible membership, but it won’t be the last Simon Green I listen to!

Memorable

I loved reading this years ago and it was even better in audiobook format. Brutality, politics and crime all rolled together in three fantastic stories.

Green is cheated by this narrator.

Simon R. Green is a spectacular writer.
I have listened to 90% of his huge catalog of work so I knew when I downloaded this earlier series I was in safe hands (albeit not Bruin Bear and the Sea Goat’s).
Then comes this awful narrator.
Nasally, almost vocal fry voice that sounds like he couldn’t be bothered and a tendency to raise pitch at the end of a sentence, as though everything is a question or he’s Australian but without the accent.
It took me far too long to get past his awful narration and it spoiled a really good anthology of stories.

Good story, naff narrator

I loved the stories & the characters but was annoyed by the cadence of the narrator. The slight rise and fall in pitch at the end of almost every sentence was grating. If this hadn't been an included book, I'd have returned it.
