The Black Company, one of seven mercenary companies, was founded in the swamplands north of the ruins of Ankh-Morpork to protect caravans from bandits and ruffians. The first book tells the story of Croaker and Annalist who are members of the Black Company during this time period.

The Black Company is a band of mercenaries and the president hires them to take out a rebel group. They have other plans involving a black powder trade route, but they find that their plans are quickly unraveling.

It starts off with action from the very beginning, which keeps you engaged throughout the whole book.

The action starts right away, but it doesn't stop there. If you've been looking for an epic fantasy audiobook with great characters and compelling action, this might be the one for you.

'Brian Troxell's' narration of 'Port of Shadows' is different from most audiobooks. He does not use a lot of words, but his voice is deep and imbued with purposeful meaning. The pacing is slow, but the reader does not use any filler sounds to keep the audience's attention. This makes for a great ambient experience that entices listeners to take in every detail. 'Brian Troxell' keeps the narration sounding natural throughout and captures both crummy characters and beautiful settings to make something out of nothing.

As a fan of the Black Company novels, I was ecstatic to hear that they have finally been made into audiobooks. Now I can listen to this masterpiece while doing whatever else I need to do.
