Let’s Hear It For The Boys

Who doesn’t love a good hero saves-the-day kinda story? You know the type- boy hero is good and if you want bonus points, an underdog. He comes in (often at the last minute during a fantastic fight scene or pivotal plot twist) and saves the world, gets the girl, or maybe just manages to get one up on the bad guy. It’s a classic trope for a reason, and this list will ensure that you get to listen along to each and every adventure.

Between Two Fires – Christopher Buehlman

If you’re looking to listen to the ultimate fight (against the devil himself) then tune into this stunning second story by an up-and-coming author. Buehlman takes us all the way back to the Middle Ages during the black death- here we meet Thomas, a down-on-his-luck knight who meets a mysterious girl on a mission. When she asks him to join her and make sure she gets to her destination, little does he know that when he agrees to be her escort, he’s essentially signing up to watch the saving of the world…or the ending of it…

The Lights of Prague – Nicole Jarvis

We’ve got vampires, monster hunters, conspiracies, hostile takeover plans, and more. Also, add in a monster hunter hero and his mysterious widow friend and you’ve got yourself quite the listen to look forward to. Follow along as Domek (our hero and vampire killer extraordinaire) uncovers nefarious plots, unlocks his friend’s mysterious past, and dabbles in alchemy? What a world.

Patron Saints of Nothing – Randy Ribay

A stunning story about one boy’s journey through grief, guilt, and solving a murder that hits too close to home. After the death of his cousin, Jay Reguero travels around the world to understand the events leading up to his cousin’s death. Throughout, he must wrestle with the many facets of his beloved relative, as well as confront the parts of himself that might have contributed to his cousin’s death. Hero vibes, but make the journey mostly internal.

Scars and Stripes – Nick Palmisciano, Tim Kennedy

Is it still considered heroism if you’re doing it because you’re an adrenaline junkie? We’d wager a yes, especially when you’re Tim Kennedy. A former Green Bere, Sniper, and UFC fighter, Kennedy has learned some life lessons during his time looking death straight in the face. Listen if you’re looking for an inspiring true story about a true hero as he shares with you his triumphs, failures, and what it takes to ultimately overcome.
