Sword and Sorority #2
Swing and Thrust
A hero has risen but is his sword ready for what lies ahead?
Dennis rides onward toward his destiny, manning up for his quest to rescue all the college babes in peril he can find.
With his women by his side, he sets upon a journey to the strange lands of the north, hoping to chase down a rumored lost hottie from back home and gain knowledge and allies he'll need when his time to face the Dark One comes.
But the horseback road trip is anything but an easy ride through the countryside, when vagabonds, lurking monsters, and dark sorcerers with sinister plans rise from the shadows to threaten him and the lives of the women he's sworn to protect.
Can he swing his mighty sword enough to thrust his way ever closer to destiny, or will the wilds of Galderia and the forces of darkness prove too much for him?

About the author
Scot C. Morgan
12 books42 followersMy innards were stitched together with Jules Verne, Edgar Rice Burroughs, childhood dreams, unbound possibilities, and all of the great 80’s movies. I think Frank Frazetta’s art is tops, and Conan the Cimmerian, Jack Reacher, and Flash Gordon are good role models.
I write fiction in various flavors--sci-fi and fantasy lately. I published my first book in 2012. After several years of honing my craft (which I still continue to do), I became a full-time writer in late 2018.
I’ve enjoyed stories all my life--some in books, some in movies… some in my head. What can I say? Life is great, but so is imagination.
I’ve worked as a bookseller, a research library assistant, a computer network expert, and in a dozen other jobs over the years--some down the street from my childhood home, others which took me across oceans.
If I’m not reading or writing, I’m probably enjoying time with my family or friends, or hiking or Netflix-ing or watching Prime or Hulu…or the Disney streaming service if it’s out when you read this, because Marvel!.
I’ve stumbled just enough times to give me some perspective (and character to my stories), but never so badly as to keep me down--for too long.
I believe in being decent to people just because, and going for what you want even when it seems really hard or almost out of reach.

This story keeps all the good things from the first book and just rolls into the second one. I love the fact that Den isn't some dude bro nor is he super arrogent. He actually cares about the people in his group. I'm also a fan of having background character be they male or female actually contribute something to the story and the people here all do. The only thing that irks me is the fact that the villians all suck. Like, they are just bad villians. I mean, they do a good job at being the bad guy, but they seem more like the people who wait at a green light kind of evil than take over the world evil. It's like they are speed bumps in the road. I will say that the dynamics of the relationship between the characters makes this an enjoyable read.

Swing and Thrust is more than just a terrific name for a haremlit story, it’s the long-awaited book two of the Sword and Sorority trilogy.
Happily, the original narration duo VAs have returned, and Christian J. Gilliland and Hazel Cohen return to give us terrific performances. What I like in particular about Christian is that he sounds like an adult. Far too many haremlit audiobooks, especially in the currently popular “academy” subgenre stories, use a male narrator who sounds far too young to be engaging in harem activities. I can never “self insert”, as they say, into stories narrated by kids with acne.
Hazel, of course, delivers her usual, and very enjoyable, breathlessly sultry sensual voice.
The story picks up immediately after events of book one, a day after Cormac’s funeral. Den and his harem of Galderian women, along with earth women Monica and Victoria continue working to achieve their two missions. As the summoned Guardian of Galderia, Den must eventually defeat the evil Thautus Kurg. On the way to his dominion, though, Den and his team continue seeking out and saving other earth women who were transported to Galderia when Den was summoned. Now, I mention these details to demonstrate that if you haven’t yet read or listened to book one in the series….start there before reading book two!
There are lots of giant spiders, but there are more battles against people than monsters. Den’s college crush Professor Thompson has a very interesting role throughout book two, but….no spoilers!
Den’s “did I say that out loud” type of thinking is often hilarious, and the women each have distinct personalities. If you enjoy isekai haremlit, I’m sure you will enjoy this book very much. 5* for the story and the VA performances!

A interesting tall tale that makes me think of Conan.
What a interesting world and group of characters. The author has taken the love of Conan and channelled it into a story. The characters are interesting and like to have fun when they can. Overall it was enjoyable to read and I look forward to reading more from this author.

The title promises. The story delivers.
A solidly-written second story in the Sword and Sorority series. Dennis the Conqueror faces more trials and challenges, including a unique way to vanquish a particular foe.

So Conan much?
This is a good book. You should read it. I like the story. The characters are fun. needs a bit more magic but I think it’ll get there.

Good tale
Good harem fantasy. It weaves the classic barbarian swordsman taking on the evil mage with harem and displaced people who are in a new universe. It is a fun read.

I didn't get far in this one. I was hoping for something after the disappointment from the first book but as soon as I found something else to read I ditched it. Just too dumb.
