  By alternate history, audiobook, dark fantasy, fantasy, fantasy fiction, Rhymer

The audiobook edition of the third RHYMER novel of the dark fantasy trilogy, Rhymer: Hel, is now available. As with the previous two books it’s narrated by my all-time favorite audiobook voice talent, Alex Wyndham, who brings out all the nuance in the narrative.

Here’s part of the write-up:
A Wild Chase Through Elizabethan England
Thomas the Rhymer, immortal, shape-changing foe of the diabolical Elf Queen and her merciless Yvag knights, continues his one-man war into the reign of England’s “Faerie Queen”—Elizabeth I. When he learns of an assassination plot against Elizabeth, the Rhymer intervenes, only to find himself the object of the special attention of the Queen’s spymaster, Francis Walsingham…

Rick Wilber on RHYMER: HOODE

Author Rick Wilber weighed in on RHYMER HOODE with a quote I’d be remiss not to post at least somewhere  (like…here):

“Intricately plotted and peopled with fantastic characters both real and imagined, Gregory Frost’s RHYMER: HOODE occupies a fresh space in the legend of Robin Hood of Sherwood Forest. Book Two of the Rhymer Trilogy, Hoode takes aim at blending real history with science fiction, and hits the bullseye as the grieving immortal, Thomas Rimor, assumes the persona of local Sherwood outlaw Robyn Hoode, and with the help of Will Scathelocke and Little John does battle with the evil Queen Nicnevin’s soldiers, some Yvag raiders and even the sheriffs of Nottingham. HOODE is a perfect sequel to RHYMER, standing on its own even as it sets up the third book in the trilogy. Very highly recommended.”
